It's an unfortunate fact but true......when you decide to make things public (comments, pictures, etc.), you have to realize that you are bound to come across all kinds of negativity and positivity. For instance, in one OT post, I was the only one who wrote a dissenting (and valid IMO!) opinion about Tameka Foster (Usher's wife). By the end of the thread, I was labelled as being judgemental, unreasonable, and even to be "cheating myself" out of life......all of these words were written to me because of my opinion about a celebrity. This all came from people who would not even be able to recognize me on the street mind you. Now this situation doesn't really compare to being called a man, but I give this example to make the point that once you post something - it's a free for all. People will come up saying all kinds of things (personal too), both on LHCF and in the rest of the internet world. By saying it's a free for all doesn't mean I'm excusing people's behaviour, but moreso that....if you're going to post things (about yourself esp), you're going to have to learn to develop some really tough skin. Like incredibly tough skin because people aren't always that kind.....or their opinions just may hurt - even if it starts out innocently (not to say that this was the case). I completely understand this woman feeling hurt and feeling the need to make a reply video, but the nature of the internet (and LHCF) will undoubtedly remain the same. So, for the author of video - if you're reading this....tough skin might just have to be your route in addition to responding (which I totally agree with you doing).
I do agree with MSA to an extent about the hypocrisy....or some kind of inconsistency. If this was a place where rules of respect or proper decorum were strictly enforced....say no one was able or knew it wasn't acceptable to openly criticize someone's youtube video or Fokti....we woudln't be having this debate.....this woman woudln't posting this reply video because no one would have said anything from jump. This means at one point or the other- it was ok to openly criticize someone else, with minimal to no backlash.
Just my 2 cents.
