I like using Facebook purely because it is a good medium to use to keep in contact with friends. I remember I was pen pals with a girl I met on holiday several years ago, and like 2 years ago or so, I end up getting a friend request with her on Facebook (since we stopped writing letters to each other, unfortunately), so I have to admit, I like it for that reason, but probably that reason alone.
I don't really like the ignorance and some of the things people post and share on Facebook, however. Fortunately enough I don't have too many people who do it to me, but sometimes I see it and it really agitates me. Sometimes I see really good posts shared on my home page which makes me happy, but it's usually in between stupid posts and ignorant posts. There are just so many sexist, racist, homophobic, disgusting comments made and they just really make me hate the site. I understand there are ignore buttons, but why should those posts even exist in the first place?
There's a boy who I kind of know (I've spoken to him once or twice, my friends have him on Facebook... His profile picture is of him wearing a fedora, so there's already one big indicator he's going to be an arsehole...), and sometimes my friends like his posts on Facebook, so I often see them appear on my news feed. Often, they are really rude, sexist comments and posts that he and his snotty friends can laugh at. They might just be "jokes", but they're pretty offensive and I know if any girl made a joke about a man on his Facebook, he'd get so angry and wound up about it. He once posted this photo about how "****ed up our generation is (even though I'm pretty sure EVERY generation is messed up in their own ways, that's just life for you)", and reading it just made me laugh so hard because the person who made it clearly has the most ignorant mindset.
"Girls, don't complain about how you always end up with *******s. Every decent guy you are looking for is in the friendzone.": First of all, the friendzone doesn't exist. Secondly, no girl is obliged to go out with you just because you're friends.
"Guys have some respect: Girls are still humans." and then the post later went on to say "Girls, if you put up half naked pictures on Facebook, you will attract creeps (which is sadly true, but why on earth aren't we telling the creeps to back off instead of telling girls not to put up pictures like that, just utterly ridiculous)"... Basically contradicting itself.
I could have explained a lot more on why those comments are a load of crap, but I'd be going off topic. There were a few more comments made like this but it was a load of rubbish and this was all I can remember. It angered me so much, and I really wish I added him, commented on it explaining how ignorant he was to post this and how it was all rubbish, and then deleted him. The sad thing is was that SO many people liked it, including other girls! So if he thinks how "girls shouldn't post half naked pictures or they'll attract creeps", then why on earth is he sharing pictures of half-naked girls on his Facebook and making sexist comments all the time. Good grief. He's such a misogynistic whiny brat...
So yeah, that's basically just a massive example on why I dislike Facebook.
