    You’re free to stick your head in the sand if you don’t want to know that bad people exist. Or a less sarcastic suggestion would be to block communities with general news stories and stick to c/upliftingnews or whatever. The sad part is thinking that news shouldn’t be shared because it upsets you.

    but people like OP spread the word even when the news is negative

    Did you get to the name in the title, look him up in another tab, then comment without finishing reading it? This is GOOD news.

      Maybe the person you responded to only wished to not learn about the details of shenanigans from shitty people, because news are already depressing enough, and you just hit them with even more negativity.

      Everyone can live a happy life without ever learning who Tate is, it’s not “sticking one’s head in the sand” ; don’t be so judgemental.

        It’s fine to not want news like that but…don’t go to a community that posts things that will bum you out.

      You completely missed the point. Kind of ironic that you are the one that gets upset by a point that wasn’t even made.
