"I think the person scolding me was just looking to get triggered, and was reading into something that just wasn't that deep."
“I had commented on [a picture of Russell Westbrook about] how bad the outfit was. One user scolded me on how I "didn't understand" what he (the NBA player) was doing by wearing the outfit, in terms of the statement he was trying to make and that by me "hating" I was being insensitive… By and large, the vast majority of people thought that his outfit was a big fat YIKES… I think the person scolding me was just looking to get triggered, and was reading into something that just wasn't that deep. Pretty sure 99% of NBA players wear crazy designer outfits for attention, not to make any sort of deep social statements. This person did not understand my intention, which wasn't to hate on anything deeper than the horrible outfit… When I see people like this getting triggered, it just baffles me how these people actually even exist.” – Male, 25, TAS - Arthur
