Headline: “Local madman says murder is okay.”
I fucking hate this, but in the age of tiktok and instagram, it’s a serious problem. I’m afraid to speak in public because soo many things can sound really bad with all the context removed. In fact, it’s nearly impossible to take a principled stance without exposing yourself to that risk.
And then when I say “that’s taken out of context and twisted to sound way worse than it is,” people hit me with the “cOnTeXt DoEsN’t MatTeR!!1!1! tHeRe’S nO wAy To JuStIfY wHaT yOu SaId!”
No way to justify how it sounds out of context, but if you hear it within context you’ll understand that that’s not even what I was saying in the first place.
But people don’t care about that. They care about ragebait, content, and engagement. And tech giants can manipulate algorithms to smear anyone who’s too vocal against them…
I guess that’s technically what he said, just not all of it. 🙄
So essentially contextomy.
