peter Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 There was a huge backlash to Google's April Fool's prank this year, too -- the Gmail mic drop. I didn't read about it extensively, but there were lots of headlines about Google yanking it due to poor reactions. I'm a little on the fence about Gwen's prank. I mean, why is it okay for the tabloids to be generating and circulating pregnancy rumors to sell their papers, but it's not okay for Gwen to make an 'innocent' April Fool's post. I guess I can see how making a joke out of pregnancy is a little insensitive to people who have fertility issues. To make the blessing of expecting a child and cheapening it to a punchline is ... showing perhaps a little lack of sensitivity. But, knowing Gwen, and hearing her speak about the 'surprise' of expecting her third son ... I know that she doesn't take a child's life for granted. Splitting hairs -- she didn't even say, "I'm pregnant" -- it's all implied, people jump to conclusions (the natural implications, of course). And then, you also want to say, lighten up, folks! Get a sense of humor! (Right?) Oh well. I imagine it will blow over. Social media memory seems to be fairly fickle and fleeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzy Jan Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Some people are so precious and looking for things to get out-raged over. It is pathetic to get offended at this. I have had multiple miscarriages and this did not offend me at all. It is an April Fools joke. Half the time the people that are offended are just looking for things to complain about in every situation and want to stir up trouble.

Skin Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Again, as I said in another thread....This is the media trying to make fake outrage over NOTHING! Like I said. They take one or two tweets of someone spouting off some bullshit and then make a headline that says "OUTRAGE OVER SUCH AND SUCH!!!!!!!!!" when there really isn't any outrage at all. Personally I don't think this SJW movement is anywhere near as big as people make it out to be. I honestly think its the media that manufactures this faux outrage for attention/ratings and click bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick00 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Not surprised some SJW are being assholes again even though media wants to magnify the outrage like it's end of the world. Always enjoyed offensive humor that make a lot of people uncomfortable. Just hope people feel free to use controversial jokes even though some precious snowflakes might have a hissy fit.

WarmSmile Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Go Gwen!!!! Is there something that doesn't make them upset? There was a huge backlash to Google's April Fool's prank this year, too -- the Gmail mic drop. I didn't read about it extensively, but there were lots of headlines about Google yanking it due to poor reactions. And then, you also want to say, lighten up, folks! Get a sense of humor! (Right?) They seem to be pretty devoid of humor or something similar whatsoever mphf! The mic drop started as a joke, however it created unnecessary accidents, that gif substitutes any message in the email from what I gathered, so instead of a serious message as a job application or a funeral arrengement you have that gif.
