All through our lives we try to define ourselves in this huge world. We want to stand out, we want to be different, we want to make sure people would know us as soon as they came in contact with us. We try to separate ourselves, however, not only to be unique but often because we do not wish to be associated with something we find repulsive. Our thoughts and ideas about what kind of people we are and what "standards" we hold to greatly influence our choice in friends, our choices in what art we choose to view, etc.
When we come into contact with something we do not feel fits in with our ideals, at times we will speak our minds. Some people, needless to say, are much more tactful and respectful about it than others.
And some of us say nothing. We just click the wonderful little x button to close the window, and go somewhere else. We acknowledge these things to be out there, but it doesn't mean we have to look at them or take part in them, unless someone feels the need to attack us for our views.
Then shit hits the fan and the verbal ass-kicking ensues.
You didn't think my little reflection on the strange stuff I see on the intrawebs would end on a serious note, did you? :p
