Picture worth 1000 Douchebags

Picture worth 1000 Douchebags


The Beast's last post stirred up some controversy. Some people don't want to accept facts if "their gut" or "personal experience" disagrees with those facts. It is what it is.
The back and forth within the comments brought up a different subject entirely. Whether here within the blogs, on the Book of Faces, or anywhere else in social media circles, people love to focus on a single picture of their opponent and pretend that completely encompasses everything about that person. The person's entire character, life experiences, and expertise can somehow be disregarded due to a single photograph apparently.
The Beast posted a previous year's, custom made, Halloween costume photo for the month of October. Followers of my blog years ago know I put a great deal of time and effort into making quality costumes each year. It's been a fun little hobby for the past decade.
Amazingly enough....that isn't all there is to me though. Who could imagine? I also managed to complete a 20 year military career, raise a I adopted, helped friends and family along the way, and a bunch of other things that people tend to do during this life.
When someone on social media doesn't like the way a discussion is going for them, however, and they don't actually have a solid argument of their own, one of the most common tactics they employ is to pick out that single photograph and attempt to paint it as the total sum of another person's life.
It's a really weak and predictable tactic at this point. People are going to keep doing it though. Grown adults who probably scold their for picking on other 's flaws resorting to, "Well....look at that picture of yours!"
LOL. It's humorous in a way I suppose.
