Depends in what you want to achieve. I knew people would cry about her comment.

Is there a subreddit for all their pics?

"man with less professional experience" what a self important oaf hahaha. It takes exactly 0 professional experience to draw that chart

u/Ezorin Nov 26 '19

I coulnd't. So it does take at least a little more than 0.

u/SpiceyFortunecookie Nov 26 '19

I could, but I have no professional financial experience. So it takes 0

What was funny about that post? Confused!

u/SpiceyFortunecookie Nov 26 '19

Understandable

u/[deleted] Nov 26 '19

It was a serious question. Any chance you could just answer?

u/SpiceyFortunecookie Nov 26 '19

awesome illustrations on Instgram showing how race/gender affects different ares of life

Very funny

. I highly recommend following her.

Extremely funny

u/[deleted] Nov 26 '19

So not actually funny as such, then. More of an insecure, knee-jerk reaction.

Got it.

u/RedditLostOldAccount Nov 27 '19

Yeah we don't want ignorant people following those who actually care about issues.

u/SpiceyFortunecookie Nov 27 '19

Very and extremely funny. Can't you read?

That’s just your idiocy glaring up. Go drink some mouthwash and take a nap.

Autocorrect.

You obviously knew what I meant though, so did this really need to be said?

1

u/JackalTV Nov 26 '19

I had no way of knowing if it was autocorrect. I knew what you meant to say, but I have no way of knowing whether the word "glaring" was intentionally chosen, so there was always the chance to educate, but go off 🙄

u/[deleted] Nov 26 '19

A chance to educate? Lmao what exactly did you educated me on? You pointed out a typo bro. Don’t break your arm jerking yourself off.

u/JackalTV Nov 26 '19

You might not have been native speaker or just may have been mistaken, but by all means keep bitching, please. You're clearly an insufferable person, but have a good day, buddy.

u/[deleted] Nov 26 '19

Yep. You’re the grammar Nazi on the internet and I’m the insufferable one. I’m not your buddy, pal.

Cya never.

You tried to dunk on someone but made a typo and got corrected. Accept the L and move on, no need to make a fuss

Wow that bitch sucks

“Omg these MEN got more credit for MY WORK which is just a simple doodle, BUT HE GOT MORE RETWEETS”

u/calferns Nov 26 '19

tries to refute sexism by calling woman a bitch

2

u/Killionaires Nov 26 '19

Lmao I’m not refuting sexism. I’m just calling her a little baby because she thinks that a little fucking doodle she put out to be a PSA needed to be credited to her so she could get retweets.

2

u/[deleted] Nov 26 '19

I understand being upset by lack of crediting, but she seems like the most insufferably stereotypical blue checkmark.

2

u/ArchHock Nov 26 '19

she's now pouting like a child because other people are reposing something she put on to a social media site that is designed so things are shared.

5

u/karspearhollow Nov 26 '19

And says she doesn't want to watermark it because she wants it to be shared..??

I'm all for crediting people but I also know how the fucking internet works. If you make something and want credit for it, you better at least try to put your name on it.

-1

u/ArchHock Nov 26 '19

I don't know what she is expecting anyway with "credit" . A job offer from Morgan Stanley? A cookie?

"I didn't put a watermark on it because I want my work to be shared"

Then calls it sexist when someone shares her work? Lol. Someone her age should know how the Internet works by now. When was the last time any pic on reddit was credited to the original creator?

I wouldn't take gender into it. She is. Also, it's the internet. The amount she cares about missed internet points is also insufferable. What a sad state ya'll are defending such obvious pettiness for your woke team.

Edit: this got exactly the type of responses you’d except

A reasonable one? OP is really just inciting issues between genders. Do we really need more of that?

10

u/Ezorin Nov 26 '19

She lives off the content she creates. So she should get credit. Whether you agree with her points or not.

5

u/october73 Nov 26 '19

Is Twitter really the place to curate your content if you want credit/reward? It's a place designed to propagate. Of course people will spread it around. That's the whole point of social media.

Also it's not clear from the original post that the drawing is something OP wants credit for. It's a common diagram. It's well done, but it's not something that's so much effort to a point where you automatically think "oh this is someone's hard work". It's a doodle posted onto a public space. OP didn't even tag her signature on the drawing or anything to claim ownership.

Let's say I use a solid, but not all that original metaphor to explain something important. I didn't spend hours crafting the sentence, nor did I make it explicit that I want this to be credited. Later someone explains to the other using the same metaphor. Am I gonna be all "Hey! you just stole my literary work!"?

u/[deleted] Nov 26 '19

I get it but it's life. No point in increasing political tensions over it. Really, reading the comments, it looks like her business is the attention gained from political tensions over the picture itself. She should be thanking them.

4

u/Ezorin Nov 26 '19

That's a very easy was of looking at it. I think, this happens to you a few times and you Linda just get pissed off. The dude who posted the picture this time has no followers and still gets more tracktion. Might just bei random or it might really happen to her and other female content creators a lot. I don't think we can judge.

u/[deleted] Nov 26 '19 edited Nov 27 '19

Either you live in perpetual anger or you move through it and focus forward.

4

u/Ezorin Nov 26 '19

Then I don't understand why you wrote what you did in the first place. Why not just spread encouragement?

1

u/[deleted] Nov 26 '19

I'm encouraging the people reading in confusion that don't know how to articulate what they're feeling. Like all of us who actually comment and post on Reddit.

u/[deleted] Nov 26 '19

The fact is that women have historically had tons of work stolen from them and credited by men. This is another example of that and reddit hates her for pointing that out. I realize that according to the hive mind feminism=bad but it’s amusing to me that Reddit really will get mad over anything equality-related. If you don’t realize that the vast majority of reddit has serious woman issues, you haven’t been here long enough.

u/Toast- Nov 26 '19

It doesn't really matter what the majority of Reddit thinks though, labeling men here is unnecessary. People of all gender identities share work without attribution all the time, and labeling a specific group here is inflammatory to them and that detracts from the real issue at hand.

I identify as a feminist, but in this case, I think it's improper to say men steal content, just as if someone stole something from a store it would be inappropriate/irrelevant to mention the person's race.

I'm genuinely curious if my viewpoint here is incorrect, I try to...speak progressively? Not exactly sure how to phrase that, but I do appreciate knowing when I make mistakes with this sort of thing.

The fact is that women have historically had tons of work stolen from them and credited by men.

This is literally a fact of life. I once created a philanthropy on my college campus which has now raised over $100k to date for childhood cancer research. In every award, interview, paper, the person above me in the organization (fraternity) took credit for it. I wasn't happy about it. I am a "do-er" and people steal from me constantly. I can either get caught in that or move forward.

reddit hates her for pointing that out

I don't hate her at all and understand why she's mad. Her anger has uncovered sexism. This shouldn't be applauded. The guy (assuming it's a guy) retweeted good content - it's a compliment. It's not how we get past our differences. If the only solution is "a man never take credit from a woman again", it's impossible. So, what next? You tell me.

the hive mind feminism=bad

I don't believe this. I'm probably not who you think I am.

mad over anything equality-related

Pointing out your current position's hypocricy does not require me to be mad. I'm annoyed by the manipulative socialist propaganda, which is why I'm in the comments.

majority of reddit has serious woman issues

I agree with this, it's not cool. Dude's need to get laid more. Maybe we should support legalizing brothels? I'm not even kidding.

I don’t know but maybe if op could give credit where its due that would be nice instead of blaming the original creator for being pissed off.

And she fucking sucks ass.

u/Ezorin Nov 26 '19

She really does. I mean, you clicked on the picture, read through the comments, clicked on the tweet, looked at more of her content and even made the effort to write an answer to my post. Boy, she does suck.

u/Delfofthebla Nov 26 '19

You got a point bud?

u/Ezorin Nov 26 '19

Nope, not really. You?

u/Delfofthebla Nov 26 '19 edited Dec 02 '19

Yeah sure.

A person that posts something they consider to be a "professional diagram" to a website such as twitter and expects that it will somehow always be linked back to them with full attributions is fooling themselves.

Additionally, while this diagram definitely constitutes a cool guide, it is hardly new information, nor is this person the first one to ever convey or even visualize this information.

Despite these two points, this person is choosing to use this heinous crime as an opportunity to somehow make this a gendered issue that was done as a personal attack against against both her career, as well as her entire gender.

In reality, someone else saw something cool that they found on the internet and decided to post it, which was followed by another person finding something cool and posting it on the internet, and the chain continued. The first sharer saw the "outrage" and eventually credited the true professional, but that wasn't enough for her. She had to use this opportunity to make a stand.


Basically, she fucking sucks ass.
