I don't have a lot of time for social media anymore, but WOW my Twitter account isn't factoring that in. It can be an eyeful over morning coffee.
-And I am not "naming names" out of spite. Quite the contrary. Both sites that blew me up as an internet troll are pretty entertaining.
A year ago, an author at Screenrant.com suggested using Marvel superhero characters in a musical. Molly Freeman wrote an excellent article article spelling out how the acting cast -by virtue of theatrical background- was perfectly capable of pulling this off. She was exactly correct, and I think the musical crossovers have since already happened.
The problem is I personally dislike musicals. I made a sarcastic remark. When I got back to the internet (perhaps two days later), my Twitter done blowed up because I was a sexist? At the time, I didn't even know the author was female. I just don't like musicals, and now I remain permanently banned on the message boards.
But the @StarWarsMinute one really hurt. Pete and Alex run a REALLY good show, and it has recently blown up in popularity. They are super fan-friendly too. There is zero reason for me not to love the show. Except. Commercials. Not the number of commercials, but where they were placing them. I felt the commercials in the middle messed up the cadence -the damn show is only 15 minutes long for God's sake. Finally frustrated, I DM-ed them that I was unsubscribing - and then they retweeted my DM(!), adding, "Sorry we like to get paid." And again, my Twitter blowed up.
In both cases, I feel like I was "reverse trolled." Unnecessary drama (trauma) was brought in for clickbait.
This line of thinking -or lack thereof- is pretty goddamned alarming.
