Why is Bruce Jenner even getting all of this attention?

SecondClass · June 01, 2015, 10:55:23 PM

It's not too bad here, but I'm tired of seeing dull articles about this spammed all over Facebook, Reddit, HuffPost, and the such. Like, who even cares? Why is some celeb's inane decision treated like the second coming of Jesus?

PSU · June 01, 2015, 10:58:19 PM

Cause hes a hero for the trans community

Doesn't make it any less dumb.

I dunno, I guess she's the first or one of the first openly transgender people who are somewhat well known or famous

i dunno i dont really pay attention to this stuff

Casper · June 01, 2015, 11:02:08 PM

Cause he shows that everybody would look better as a woman.

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian got married the same day we landed a probe on a comet, stealing all the attention from that.

And now Kim Kardashian announces she's pregnant again and Bruce Jenner changes his name to Caitlyn the same time the Patriot Act expires, once again stealing the attention from something important.

This family lives and breathes on attention and will continue to be the center of attention for a long time unfortunately.

I don't understand how that thing can get such free attention. Wow, you're a freak who got surgery to change who God made you, congrats you fucking disgusting animal.

The Kardashians aren't known for not being attention whores, after all.

I'll give them attention when I see the article of the fatal drunken crash they get into after a night of partying.

Dunno class.

Maybe you should slap a "I don't give a shit" sticker over it. It's a real easy way to make it disappear, apparently. Just go and do something else for a few days.

Me not giving a shit doesn't make it disappear from my news feed. But it's not important enough for me to not get on the Internet or anything. Just a tad pathetic and annoying.

Well then fuck your news feed. Adblock it or something.

Either that, or take a seat, sit down, and play the best fucking game known to man. The waiting game. Like I said. Give it a week. Two, tops.

Or, fuck. Just show up in one of the articles and break open a can of douchebagery and troll people in the comment sections. See if you can beat your highscore or some shit.

Idk. That shit should have been a headline for like five minutes and then kept it moving. It's not like transgender people are new. If he wasn't the father of the kardashians no one would care, but since he is, well he's all over the news. But one things for sure, I couldn't give less of a care what he does with his life and no one really has a reason to.

I doubt it will be normalized, but it'll help transsexual people feel more comfortable. But trans people are pretty rare, but it makes sense considering people aren't meant to be that way.
