    What is the point of making up contentious stories? Just say you got a haircut. I guess getting people to comment is the point, which evidently works. I hate this version of the internet.

        I did suspect that possibility. My statement stands though. I hate this version of the internet where doing this sort of stuff is common and popular.

      “I was victimized by the patriarchy, so I got a haircut”

      Everything has to be a buzzfeed headline… Nobody “just does stuff” anymore. All of life’s banal moments need to be presented as either a reaction or a challenge to really sell them. How else are you going to get online randos invested in your new haircut?
