      Also I'm gonna go there This is exactly how stereotypes and bigotry perpetuate themselves People make up or exaggerate anecdotes that fit what their audience wants to hear and the audience decides it doesn't matter if it happened because it's "the kind of thing that happens"https://twitter.com/Nymphomachy/status/1343000164378689537 …

      Heard the argument that AITA posts describe stuff that happens frequently enough IRL that it doesn't matter if they're real or just creative writing exercises, and as somebody who has lived through dozens of things that WOULD warrant an actual AITA post, I... don't agree (1/2)

      So... What's the solution here? We can't just stop telling each other stories.

      It's not telling stories that seems to me to be the issue, it's the thing the Internet does where anecdotes from strangers get blown up into viral narratives

          That's not an internet phenomena though. Jan Brunvand’s extensive documentation of urban legends shows how anecdotes were passed around prior to not just social media, but the web. I remember hearing several AIDS Mary stories in the 80s and 90s as I was growing up.

          People genuinely thought that kind of assholery was totally plausible and “the kind of thing people would do” I remember a story in the late 90s about how people found used needles in movie theater seat cushions that people had accidentally sat on opening day for big movies.

          I mean, isn't everyone a stranger on the internet? Anecdotes are just people telling each other what happened to them. That the ones that go viral confirm people's preexisting biases seems like a psychological problem too large to be solved by individual actors

          If a problem is too large to be solved by an individual’s actions, then is that individual justified in not changing their behaviors that contribute, however trivially, to that problem?
