Why do people get outraged about stupid stuff

If the Sun prints an inflammatory headline

That's their job they do it to sell newspapers

Attention, clicks, likes, virtue signalling, money.

It’s not just the newspapers. People get their knickers in a “twist” over tweets on Twitter.

They seem to seek it out and “revel” in their own anger, and outrage.

They are different types of people for starters and people deal with different situations differently.
Some like the drama, some can’t deal with things, etc.
However lately I’ve noticed if somebody makes a small comment about disliking something some people like to turn it into a big ordeal of them being outraged.

I'm amazed at the stuff that people start threads over on AH.

Mods should be much tougher

Lifetime bans in order

In some cases even non rat OPs should br taken out by the elite gun cat squad that live in the basement of Boards Towers

Check outt the current
'Car Wash Issue' on going on boards at the moment..lads getting tetchy...

We've got a false impression of how much outrage there is. The media seeks it out and then places like boards amplify and distort it: exhibit A, the Current Affairs forum.

Also the angry, white, heterosexual, middle aged men can’t be from a traveller background.

Dont forget Karen.

According to a popular meme, Karen is a middle-aged white woman with an asymmetrical bob asking to speak to the manager, who happens to be as entitled as she is ignorant.

It is mainly men, to be fair. Visit any of the "discussions" in Current Affairs and it's usually all fellas, with a few token female voices.

Mostly because inside they are probably desperately sad and frustrated I imagine.

.anon.

On here, it's mainly men - usually getting outraged about something 'woke' or the 'SJWs' or whatever Americanism they happen to have obsessively latched onto at any given time.

But go onto any local Facebook group and it very much isn't mainly men getting outraged about stupid stuff.

I'm just taking off a self-appointed ''legend'' of the boards saying that tbh.

I don't know who that so called legend is but I'd imagine there hasbeens now. Because I'm the only legend of the boards, all the others are like cheap fake tans, that was off during the rain. I'm here to stay (i think) so you can quote me in future. Actually Omackeral when your thinking about god in future you can think about me,

Can somebody help me out here? AH is about taking the p!ss out of each other, so how can people get serious and annoyed over it. A lot if the other forums have serious issue discussions. But anybody posting on AH shouldn't get annoyed or irked, they should enjoy the banter between like minded posters. Am I right or wrong?

Nah its definitely more the other way around around here anyway - with the sjw's and wokkers getting absolutely outraged with just about everyone and anything they disagree with. But most especially where others don't hold the same views and opinions as them.

Some of the dialogue generated from this lot would make Stalin appear to be a tolerant paternal figure lol.

Bizarrely can't find any existing nicknames for these type of outragers - I think I'll call them "Justins" for the hell of it

If you think boards is bad - try the Dubai Forum for some real hilarity

Yeah, in one thread I saw a guy go into meltdown because another user would rather take the opinion of an expert over his. Definite signs of being an egomaniac.

Because people believe it and then use this information to attack people who have absolutely no reason to be attacked or vote for people who have absolutely no busienss being in power.

Actually I stopped buying newspapers when they stopped printing news

Don't know about that. The three women on liveline yesterday arguing about wether it was insulting to transsexuals and nonbinary to use the term women seemed pretty angry about a stupid thing.
