Compl-ating, otherwise known as complaining/ hating. Many times we don't realize that we're complaining or hating until it's brought to light by a source other than yourself. It's this action of compl-ating that is only adding to the issues of trolling and other online bullying. As millennials, we are known for being for gay rights, wanting Bernie as President and also being very sensitive to all topics. Now, I'm not talking about the golden moments of our sensitivity like how the younger generations have been upset at the disrespect and poking fun at of other race and cultures during Halloween. I'm talking about the arguments many have started on taking in other cultures into your own. There have been many times when I've been scrolling through my Tumblr feed and see an argument brewing because some Korean star has "offended" the black community by having dreadlocks, or someone has started a long-winded rant about fetishizing biracial children.
How can we be so supportive and expressive of our freedoms to speech and expression, when we turn around and start "compl-ating" about people who do just that? This ties in with our Online and Anonymous topic because people do have the right to like and do as they please without everyone being in their business. Anonymity has its benefits along with its weak points. What are your thoughts on this? - Maya Washington
