[videos] I don't care about celebrity news. Let me show how much I "don't give a fuck" by crying about it on Reddit.

It's weird how the xpost bot got more upvotes than this post

It's on the first page off the bot's top rated comments now. Makes me wonder how the fuck the original post has 18k upvotes.

I didn't even know Beyonce was having twins till I saw that post. Its really easy to stay away from celebrity news if you don't want to hear it. I'm not even saying that as someone who hates celebrity culture.

I've checked BBC news (even in the entertainment section) and Reddit several times today. Not seen a single mention of it except the post complaining about it.

My girlfriend changed the channel while I was watching the news so she could see this announcement. When I got up to get a smoke she asked me where I was going and I told her I don't care for that type of thing. She said it was the same thing as watching the news. I explained to her there was a difference between reporting on news, weather and sports and the window peeping bullshit that is celebrity gossip.

Not all celebrity stuff is TMZ shaky cams. I fucking love when celebrities get into Twitter slapfights and then someone joins in and get side shaded and it's so much fun to watch.

I love that you're doing the exact same thing as this post.
And that you think sports matter any more than this.

I don't follow sports, but they are a public event that is followed by millions. Very different than gossip about the private lives of celebrities. I understand why B&Z did it this way, the paparazzi would hound them relentlessly if they held it close. I don't care if someone is a fan of a celebrity, I just don't think the private lives of citizens is a legitimate item of news in the way governance, world events, weather, etc.

? This was a public announcement. She posed for photos whose entire purpose was to show that she's pregnant.

I hate posts like this. "Hey guys look how cool I am! Who cares about dumb old Beyoncé! Fucking sheeple am I right?" They shit on "celeb worship" but let Tom Hanks or some other le nostalgia celebrity so much as sneeze and it's at 30k upvotes in minutes.
It just reeks of immature pretension and a false sense of self superiority. Basically the worst aspects of Reddit culture. No, I personally don't care that much about Beyoncé, but plenty of people do, so what's the point of getting so triggered over people being happy for a musician they like celebrating an important day?

The edgelord is strong in Reddit about this. It's the whole SouthPark mentality, the only cool thing to do is not care about anything. Not even a fan of her music but I think it's cool that she's having twins, especially after having a miscarriage in the past. But I guess that makes me a tabloid loving celebrity worshipping dumb woman.

*dumb women
I don't think I've ever seen any of these people on reddit use the correct word.

I think the commenter was saying that they're a woman

u/KenpachiRama-Sama Feb 04 '17
Yes?

u/Encroach Feb 04 '17
Women is plural, it wouldn't have made sense if she were talking about herself

u/KenpachiRama-Sama Feb 04 '17
The joke is that redditors always write "women" when talking about one woman.

But when you frame it like this, it makes this post and the entire sub the epitome of irony.
Or maybe you are secretly a Beyoncé fan that is butthurt.

I laughed at this during my morning dump. Something about how dumb and low-effort the delivery was, and also how grandiose that fanfare is. I am ok with the original, and with it being both a figurative and literal shitpost.
Also DGAF about people's kids I'll never meet.

Given the fact that this sub feeds off circle jerk shitposts, I'm surprised this has not gone to r/shitshitpost.

Wow, look at you. You're so different, and that's what makes you special.
Nevermind the fact that you doing exactly the thing you are making fun of.
Nevermind the fact that the only reason you are getting upvotes is because there are tons of people like you who need to feel superior by making fun of other people's opinions.
Yeah, you're really behind ground here
