@chief_malo: It WAS NOT 62 million American men and I think people are okay with believing in that lie because people are okay with believing and misinformation and ultimately I think spreading misinformation completely undermines the people who actually need to be pointed out

da real n.d :

62 million men is about 55-60% of the American male population. And nobody knew for how long?

Choom :

⭐️🍉Alex Star 🍉⭐️ :

Alex Star jumpscare oh my god

Comfycrab :

62 million is more than the population of South Korea 😭 it's astounding people think that made sense

prigius :

misinformation is never good it doesn't matter if it's a good or bad cause

Just. Jerry :

Funny thing is your only video on this topic is when you're correcting misinformation, interesting

me :

ok why is there one

My_retrolife :

I feel people who spreed misinformation should be sue 😬

Lain xiaoping :

Ok no not you dude

yanji :

spreading misinformation on a topic this serious is lowk disrespectful to the people who made the article and the survivors, have people devolved to not have shame anymore in the name of dehumanising an entire gender?

✠🇬🇪George🇬🇪✠ :

62 million visits* not all of them were part of it, it was 1000members of telegram group, still disgusting, but pushing misinformation is only hurting women, do your research, do better

Mage of Flowers :

The worst part is people attacking people trying to correct the misinformation. It was obviously misinformation to me from the beginning but I didn't bother correcting anyone cause the reactions were crazy.

Lady Wykked :

Circling back to this because at first blush, I agree with you about misinformation and how messaging can get skewed or harmful if not called out. In this instance, you are arguing about how accurate the water pressure is being reported while we’re trying to put out a catastrophic house fire.

Not applicable :

That is the scary thing about that. I didn’t even think about the fact that the conversation had shifted away from the people attending the seminar and had become more about the misinformation being spread. We could actually have a conversation about the people if we would just stop spreading misinformation

Aurelia :

I know what I’m about to say has nothing to do with the current video, but this is somewhere to any drama or any callout post on social media. People tend to try to get all the facts straight but whenever they’re trying to push a narrative. You can clearly see the misinformation in the Bias so people tend to discard the crime or the action because the narrator is clearly bias or is trying to not stay all the facts trying to only talk about what they see is important and now give the full story.

razzmatazz1 :

Real quick say misinformation again

Keanu :

It definitely takes away from (or at the least, misplaced) the seriousness and contributes to the larger mechanisms that seek to further discredit survivors. This coming out during SA awareness month is also something to think about.

Junkyard Librarian :

I was on a video about boycotting a company, but everyone in the comments had the wrong company. When I pointed it out people were like "well I don't know that company so I'm just going to boycott this one." 🙄

Ferrow :

The fact that the conversation has become about the misrepresentation of the information, and not the useful information the article gathered like the list of commonly used drugs, the common aide effects and symptoms, is exactly why accurate reporting is so important!

Magicalboat :

I feel like the most sensationalized version of the story is always the version that gains the most traction on social media

Zoboo 🔻 :

Everyone wants to be first to news rather than be correct

Gonzo The Great :

I’m really getting tired of living in a “post-truth” world. I have absolutely no idea how we fix this. This sort of thing ends up happening on nearly every single important topic that we ever discuss now, and it is very much preventing us from getting anything productive done collectively to even marginally better the world.

T-phegor :

Beware of information warfare.
