I learned something awkwardly important today.
As much as you believe/think making friends on Facebook is cool and good, there are occasions when you end up in an argument/disagreement over insignificant matters such as . . . a Hollywood celebrity.
A "friend" posted a link supporting that Johnny Depp deserves/earns an award for being a great actor. I posted my disagreement stating my opinion. In true social media fashion some of responses were biased (i.e. Depp adoring fans). A friend of the "friend" posted a hostile reply. I don't take kindly so I replied by calling the friend's friend a vulgar term for a part of the female anatomy. If one can't take what one apparently dishes out, then be prepared for such responses.
The usual argument ensued. I realized the supposed "friend" is a pretty much a condescending douche bag who apparently can't comprehend or respect a dissenting perspective of all things about Johnny Depp.
I am not a Johnny Depp fan. He's a talented actor, but pretty much all of his roles have been $%&* over the last few years while much of his early roles were very noteworthy. I personally don't believe Depp deserves or earns an Academy Award short of him performing in a role that truly conveys and proves his acting talent of which he has not had any over the past few years asides from portraying a popular pirate.
All of the preceding is simply an opinion and I don't demand or expect anyone to agree with me, but there are those who are so enamored apparently with Depp that they have to argue, etc. about it. It's like dealing with HT overzealous cultists in a way.
Apparently, my supposed film/movie savviness was questioned as if it was a criteria. Whatever. I basically blocked the ....er. Why? I don't need that type of bull**** in my life. I'll never acknowledge let alone help that ....er ever again. Once I block someone, it's done and it'll never be undone.
Maybe I shouldn't bother to get into any disagreement or discussion with supposed friends about Hollywood celebrities? I don't adore or zealously follow any Hollywood celebrities let alone feel compelled to post/share how they deserve or earn whatever. They're simply like us, but they make much more $ and more well off than virtually all of us. However, they have their problems too and show the best and worst like the rest of us.
I hope I don't enter into any disagreement with any of you about collectibles, movies, and games. If any of you are on my friend list, you may want to consider de-friending/blocking me now if any of you are that uptight about difference of opinions.
I guess I need to be even more selective about Facebook friends because some are not really friend material at all. If this musing/ranting somehow enlightened or helped any of you regarding the peculiarities of social media interactions, then so be it. If not and you got a goog laugh at my expense, then so be it too.
