it's because of a damn documentary that won awards.
Documentaries drive me nuts because they're slanted, written and
produced compellingly, and lead you to some inescapable
conclusion about some horrid thing that NOW you believe is
commonplace... when it's not.
The format of documentaries is manipulative, wins awards, and
the people who consider themselves intelligent free thinkers
suck it up. It's an emotionally manipulative format.
This particular case is thanks to a documentary called "The
Dancing Boys of... something... first it was BBC, THEN Frontline
on US TV... won a buttload of awards. [pun not intended here]
Misleading crap. It's not that bad things don't happen
everywhere - of course they do. But you see a documentary
produced in the documentary way, and it ends up filtered down
into stuff like...
...this. Memes. Shitty memes.
Memes that encourage Bigotry and other things, but mostly some
kind of bigotry. Here's another thing that documentaries do:
a) They report about something you know little about.
b) They report about something that has information sources
you're not likely to find.
c) The person/people they are slanted to make you hate, "are
going to lie to you, so don't ask them for information".
d) So you can now only trust the documentary maker.
