Because when you see something as ridiculous as say, supporting Trump unironically, you begin to question where people read the things they do, as well as question the writer's intelligence.

That's Ethos/Pathos/Logos 101: By supporting something people see as ridiculous, you've essentially slandered yourself as well as made yourself a fairly unreliable writer in one fell swoop. The fact that you expected an irrational answer from your own misunderstanding of one of the most basic fundamentals in persuasive writing only worsens this actually.

Yeah you just summed up what I was gonna say so thank you. <3

'cause I can't understand why anyone in their right mind would support Trump. But I don't want to make this a thread about politics.

Another trend I dislike: people being edgy and cool on the internet and on TBT and enjoy having the unpopular opinion because it makes them stand out. I've known people like this in my classes when we did debates and stuff. It was just embarrassing. It's okay to have your own opinions but just turn down the edge a few notches alright.

Sorry but I'm immune to this sick burn you've bestowed upon me.
 
Btw, just my two cents, Gregrii, about the bisexuality comment. Which wasn't funny or cool even if you were trolling. Even if you are bisexual.

I don't think it's appropriate to say that (but hey I'm just a person on the internet so who cares right?!) bisexuality is a trend or a phase. When people question their sexuality it's usually a really serious thing, and it can be really complicated. I actually thought I was bi when I was 13 years old, I came out to some people but then felt like it was just a "phase" because I had never actually properly liked any girls before, I just thought, I would consider dating other females. But when I was 15, I realised I was actually bi, and no, it wasn't a silly phase or trend. I never would consider it that way. I'm anxious about my sexuality, I struggle to come out to anyone in real life, not that I have, and I am afraid of how others will perceive me because of it. Just because SOMETIMES I like other females - wow, how shocking, right? And I know that I am not the only one. People who are bisexual or gay or lesbian or any sexuality that deviates from heterosexual feel exactly the same. So stop erasing bi people from this same picture. Just because we can like people of the same gender and of a different gender, doesn't mean that we don't exist. Even if I were to date a guy, I would still be bi.

People who treat it as a phase or a trend...Honestly, I don't know many people who have done that, and even if they have, it's a minority.

I just don't find it funny, I find it upsetting. It upsets me that unfortunately a lot of people still view bisexuality as some cute little label people like to plaster on themselves and treat it as a quirky trend. I don't treat it as a trend and I don't think MANY bisexual people do. So can we just not... Feed into that stereotype anymore? Can we stop treating bisexuality as a phase, even if it is just jokingly?
