Facebook, I hate you. I need you but I hate you.
over the last 12+ hours or so, tons of people were changing their profile pictures " to a cartoon character from your childhood and invite your friends to do the same. Until Monday (Dec. 6) there should be no human faces on Facebook, but an invasion of memories.(FOR THE FIGHT AGAINST CHILD VIOLENCE!)"
whatever, it's silly, i don't care though. now i get to see old cartoons like doug and hey arnold instead of faces of people i dont even remember meeting. sounds good to me.
within the past 3-4 hours, theres been a backlash where everyone is now apparently required to put in their status about how they've figured out that cartoons wont help stop violence against kids and everyone who did it is a naive, lazy asshole, fuck them!
there's only one thing dumber than facebook activism and it is pretentious facebook fucks looking down on someone because of their Doug Funnie profile picture.
holy shit everyone is stupid and now i sound like a jackass even talking about it.
this is why i hate facebook. i really need to go on a defriending spree.
i guess i fell into the trap though, when i posted this status: alright, i get it, you all have figured out that changing your profile picture does not stop violence against kids and had to make an indignant facebook status about it. shut up you pretentious fucks, i'm having fun watching cartoons. sorry to have disturbed you.
a friend of mine made a good point. "it raises awareness. Okay, not a lot, but it's something for a very minor investment. People are talking about it, at least. It's something!
I went through your exact post though today. I was so frustrated with all the hipsta-facebookers that had to rip on all the profile pictures. They don't even realize that the whole point of the pictures is WORKING (kind of), as demonstrated by their angry rants!"
in response to the inevitable question: i cant delete my facebook because it's replaced email with a ton of people. my social life and my work life would suffer. it really wouldn't work. i need facebook but god damn does it get on my nerves sometimes.
Fuck you Facebook. You're just the worst.

would recommend some sport if you are stressed out about something silly like facebook

I find it funny how something so small makes you so bothered haha.
|
I feel for you, man. I deleted my facebook, and now I have no friends. But it was worth it.

So many ppl addicted to facebook that it makes them rage. Plus it makes them look like either creepers or ppl who give too much info out (pics, profile, contact info, etc).
Check facebook once or twice a week ... you'll be a happier person.

I had Facebook at the very beginning when it was only for a select few universities. I deleted it the second they made it open to everyone and haven't ONCE regretted it. You think you need it but you truly don't. And to be honest if you're only a friend with someone because you're both on FB then you two aren't real friends.
|
lol.
that being said i have absol moemon as my profile pic right now :3

thats true man, i use fb but not to have friends or being there 24/7 i use FB when im bored lol

OH
i've overheard people gossiping about stuff like "oh well i posted a status about how i hated my professor and then [random guy] LIKED IT. OMG HE'S SUCH AN ASS" or "yeah so i totally posted this status about [random shit] and then she liked it, she totally digs me"
i love people ^_^
|
I honestly feel the same way about those things on Facebook. If people want to do them, so be it. but its not going to help anything really. 99% of people are going to look and never even be 'aware' of the reason. If the people do become aware, does it even change anything? People know child abuse happens. Cartoons on Facebook doesnt stop it.

Someone's an unhappy bear.

seriously you are addictive to fb! I think it's pretty lame, its just a site full of bragging and other gay stuff, watch the south park episode "you have 0 friends"

^ I absolutely agree with this. I have a few circles of very tight knit friends, and we rarely (like maybe once every two years) encounter each other on facebook. I like to talk to my friends in person or on msn real time styles
Anyways I think the promotion where girls would change their status to where they put their purse and phrase it as "I like it on the table" was retarded. It was supposed to raise breast cancer awareness but all it did was give me images (good or bad depending on the person) about someone getting slammed on the table, and IMO generally objectified women more than raising cancer awareness.
|
I use facebook for only one purpose: finding out personal information about others.
|
I'm generally against using my facebook status and profile for activism. So I don't. I'm not a serious facebook user though, so if I were to change my profile picture, I would end up with a profile picture of Starscream for the next 5 years.

I think child violence is an iffy subject. I got beat on a lot as a kid. Probably because I had serious problems with authority and behaving. Half the time I feel I'd be a better person, if only I'd been beaten a few times more often lol. And I'm not saying this facetiously. I really believe it. :-\
Then I hear about kids who threaten to call the police coz their dad whacked them on the ass for smoking pot. But there are the stories of people beating their kids with bike chains and other horrifying crap. How to winnow the chaff from the wheat? Bleh.
|
I don't do anything on facebook aside from exchange message with friends and as a hub to work out parties, get-togethers and such with RL friends. This amounts to at most, a single login a day. I've gone weeks without logging in.
I got tired of stalking people with it a long, long time ago.
The site is really annoying and can be a bigger timesuck than TL. -_-
|
One of the minor perks of not using facebook :D
|
kind of annoys me that the guy in the image probably donated money out of spite rather than genuine concern. ironically the facebook "slacktivism" appears to have had the right effect on him.
(i for one think the profile pic thing is awfully useful at spreading awareness.)
|
Slacktivism at its finest. People always want to feel good about themselves without having to do anything. These events always appear once a month/special occasions, and they do nothing towards the cause.
If you truly care about something, why not just do it. Oh wait, it saves time to just believe in a cause, and let someone else do it for you.

I assumed it was pokemon day since everyone was choosing fire pokemon.
Noobs.

I still have my pokemon from pokemon profile picture december, I fit in.

Facebook is a leech and a scavenger. It's highly useful as it feeds on the useless & dead. It's an important part that social networks play in the modern food chain. Food being whatever you want it to be starting from money...
I do use it though, although I have close to no " friends". I use it to discuss with a couple of guys about shit. Of course there is still the 50 something people who just fucking had the need to be my friend. Naturally I spam random shit there(videos/pics & w/e) every time I check if any of those guys(-real friends) are online. Just to fucking clog their oh so precious facebook. Dun think even half of them know that you can blog the updates from me. I get strange gratification when I do that, maybe I'm a bit sadistic.
|
There's a post going around tumblr about that exact status update and picture changing.
In all honesty, I think the idea of it has been lost, and it isn't raising any awareness. People are like "DERP DERP I LUV DIGIMON AND DOUG YAYAYA" I've had friends on facebook also trying to.. like.. Out profile picture each other? Trying to find the best childhood cartoon, and trying to beat everyone else with it's awesomeness. I find this extremely ridiculous.
A girl on my facebook updated her status with the same message as everyone else, but included links to where you can donate to programs, charities and groups working against child abuse. This I found was much more useful.
Facebook has the extreme potential to be extremely influencing, but people are like "hurrdurr I am raising awareness by changing my profile picture and commenting and being like L-O-L!"
/shrug
|
What? I just changed my profile picture because it's fun, when did this become an issue over child abuse? Nobody on my feed is talking about child abuse or anything :O *scroll scroll*
Ohhhh I got on the Pokemon train, not the childhood cartoon train. Friend - "I'm thoroughly annoyed by whoever decided to make the "Profile picture for a children's cause thing" during December. It's Pokemon Profile Picture Month, people; get with it!"

Rofl, this is massively off topic, yet frightfully hilarious. Seriously though, facebook has destroyed the notion of friendship. Now that I've been off Facebook for 6 months, a number of my real life friends, after I email/im them don't even remember who I am anymore. I have to bring up "We used to carpool together!" or "We dated for a week!"

What? December is Pokemon profile picture month! Pick another month to host your dumb event =.=

As a few people have already hinted at/said; it's probably more effective at raising awareness than anything. Spur people to donate to the cause -- (although a lot of people will do it just because they are following the Facebook fashion). Similarly to when it was doppelgänger week...I suppose that served no other means more than for a bit of fun.
Even if a small percentage of the millions of Facebook users see this and then donate to this cause, then really it's a smart marketing decision by the charity -- it's free exposure that will snowball.
Plus on the issue of people being assholes and saying things like 'LOL how duz this help with child abuse?'...may I introduce you to the internet? Facebook is surely full of the same people who post dumb YouTube comments.
|
Change your facebook profile picture to a progamer from Starcraft and invite your friends to do the same. Until monday (Dec.6) there should be no noob faces on facebook, but an invasion of high level play.
|
facebook is my new IM.
also my current profile pic is Benny The Ball. Man, I loved TopCat when I was a kid.
|
Since this is the internet, I fully expect that someone out there has changed their profile pic to pedobear.
|
I never have, nor ever will create a facebook page.
Facebook is just evil, I prefer actual friends in real life thank you very much.
|
I had a Facebook page, but not any longer. I realized what a waste of time it really was. It made me care about people who, because I probably didn't like them in the first place, I never talked to in real life. Good riddance I say!
|
i have a collection of dolls just for when i really want to be violent to children but don't want to go to jail
|
Or, you know, you could just not take facebook too seriously and rather use it as a tool of epic procrastination and casual stalking, and if anyone DOES really annoy you, you could remove them from you news feed. But, you know, that might be a dumb idea.
|
I never made one and I haven't regretted it at all. There is too much negative that overrides the convenience that it provides.
|
Facebook pisses me off too. I wonde rsometimes why I still use it. I've deleted myself from facebook before.
Funny story. A girl messaged me on facebook and we talked and talked, conversation was great... kind of. I said a lot of crazy things, like I do, she responded with laughter and such. She was loving it, and I was loving that she liked me. Anyways... Long story short. We go out on a date AND it was fucking terrible. I had the worst time I could have possibly had. I dropped her off and never talked to her again. We could easily still be friends, but I'd rather not waste my life on that. :D Facebook sucks.

Hey, Arnold! was the best cartoon ever, besides Rocket Power. Good stuff; I still remember that spelling bee episode where Helga misspells "qualm" somehow and Arnold spells "onomatopoeia" correctly.
"Q... u... a... l... x?"
But I digress.

One of my friends changed their profile picture to a pedobear picture...

Hey Chobo, I don't think it's Facebook you hate, I think it's people
|
Does anyone really think changing their profile pic to a cartoon is going to do shit for the kids? Really? If you want to do something, get off facebook and go physically help the kids. Your pictures are useless. It's actually quite fucking insulting to the people who are going through this shit by saying "I'ma support you with a picture!"
Btw, am I doing it right?
I posted that exact same thing on Facebook hoping to get some people mad and all I did was get a bunch of thumbs up for that comment. I also put a picture of Homer choking Bart as my profile pic =P. I do think it's insulting for everyone to change their profile pic to raise awareness? LOL What the hell is that gona do?
|
Facebook owns as long as you don't get all worked up over everything and go emo over how hipocritical most people are. Frankly I don't give a fuck, I got Ripster from Street Sharks, fuck yea
|
I changed my profile pic to pedo bear.
|
I really wanted to change my profile pic to a cartoon though lol
AHAHA pedo bear so tempting
|
I feel the same way. I was wondering why everyone was doing this, seriously, if you are against it then you are against it - no need to put up a picture. People these days... right?
Helga less than threes football-head (the orinigal not stewie).

anyway, to the folks who recommend that i not take facebook so seriously: i don't. it got ticked off cause some acquaintances were acting pretentious in public and i spent 3 minutes writing a silly blog about it.
really im just surprised this got 48 responses. i was expecting 3 or 4 or something.
facebook is fine i guess, it just offers idiots the opportunity to advertise just how annoying they can be.
|
Facebook's dumb. It's always been dumb....meh.....
I think that the child awareness thing is not so much about raising actual awareness....but was more of a fun thing that friends were doing together. To be honest, most people saw awareness as probably a side effect of everything.
I end up just ignoring the people who act like idiots and arrogant prickheads....I could care less about their opinion at that point.

Haha - Slactivism is a great term for it.
I get worked up about this sort of thing sometimes... like slactivism and the pretentious backlash... but then my cute new wife tells me everything is a-ok and I chill out.

When something like that gets me so angry, I relax by beating an orphan...
In all seriousness though, it seems to be working exactly as intended - raising awareness

oh shit let me change my profile pic to IR baboon

Facebook profile pictures are serious business.
Yup, it's just a way for people to feel like they're doing something to help something they can't help. (It's like internet prayer!) It's kind of silly, but whatever. There's no reason to get pissed about it.
I keep Facebook around because I use it to talk with people from home, and it's a good way to get the word out/hear about events. Whenever my friends and I want to organize something between 5 or 6 of us, using a Facebook message thread is a really good way to do it (though e-mail works for that, too).
also, right now my profile picture is a Kadabra for "favorite pokemon month."
|
I changed my picture, but it wasn't because I thought it would make any difference at all in child abuse. I just wanted to make my picture of Vash.

we had this 2 weeks ago on facebook. you're slow

Quoting nedor257 from reddit.com
Someone coined the term "slacktivism" to describe it. It is a big circle jerk. It makes the people involved feel better about themselves and allows them to feel like something is being done about the problem without them actually doing anything. So although they are doing SOMETHING about it, the only people it benefits are the people it already isn't a problem for.
i.e. it's just a massive circlejerk to make people think they're doing something good when really theyre just sucking each other off. Idiocy spreads quickly on facebook and people love to take it right up the ass.
By the way, if you get cancer and survive it it's because I put a ribbon sticker on my car. You're welcome
|
agree 100%
facebook activism is so fucking annoying and retarded
like changing a fucking profile pic is gonna make a difference, and like mocking those people is going to help either
moral of the story: all people are fkn idiots

first of all, your tldr was as long as the quote itself.
moving on to the meat of the post: eh, this is a pretty gross exaggeration of the way most people i know feel about effortless stuff like a car ribbon or changing a facebook picture. it takes two seconds and it strikes up a conversation and that's a start.
if it's just a massive circle jerk, then do you know what the pretentious backlash was? a lonely but no doubt rewarding masturbation session.
when people started using their statuses to berate those who would dare change their profile picture in support of a cause, they felt great and they felt superior but failed to realize that the point was to talk and think about it. that's been done to some degree, more people are discussing it. is that a bad thing? no, it's indisputably good.
no one is claiming that they're personally saving lives, only that a discussion is being provoked. how dare they!
this jaded wisdom that allows you (you being you as well as whoever coined slacktivism) to know that people who did this thing will now donate less to charity and do less to prevent violence against kids escapes me. i would bet money that the opposite is true but by no large margin. in the end, it probably makes little to no difference at all in that regard.
it's a small thing. what's the problem?
i may have missed it, but i saw no one taken a beaten child and go 'you're now safe, YOU'RE WELCOME.'
again, it's a conversation starter. are they changing the world in one fell swoop? no. they're just trying to bring up an issue that matters to them. why the backlash?
the anti-slacktivism stuff is a cute little meme that people seem to take for fact or something like it. the hypothetical awful person described above (who thinks that he is accomplishing something very significant with his facebook status/ribbon) does not exist in any numbers. i dont know them at least.
it's funny, i didn't even do this. i didn't change my profile picture, i don't have ribbons. i personally don't really feel moved to do those things. but i dont think less of anyone who does and if i did, i certainly wouldnt advertise what a pretentious jackass i was to everyone i knew on facebook.
|
I don't think less of anyone for anything they post on facebook, free speech and all and who am I to judge BUT I can clearly see through their intentions which are NOT to "save kids yo" but instead to "change ur pic to leono lulz!!!". I think changing the profile pic is idiotic, not the person but the action.
It doesn't affect me, it doesn't affect the people they're trying to "save". It does nothing but give people a false sense of accomplishment. Did it raise awareness? Yeah. Is awareness gonna do anything? Nah.
I'm pretty sure we can all agree that we're aware of breast cancer. Awareness raises millions which are then spent on the next awareness campaign which are sponsored by Victorias Secret and a bunch of other celebrities... see where I'm getting at?
I don't have a problem with the act, I have a problem with the false sense of achievement but then again I'm not gonna go to their faces and tell them that they're assholes, after all they're doing it because in their eyes it's "good".
BTW lol @ my tldr, I suppose it's more of an i.e.

You can have facebook, but don't log into it so much that you get on "change profile pic to malcolm x" bandwagons. Trim it down to a few times a week. Keep in touch with close ones with the phone/IRL instead. The people you are distant with; keep your distance. If you run into them downtown, be like "Hey, whats up?" - nothing wrong with them, you guys just aren't close. Deleting someone creates drama up the ass.

I changed my picture because I take every chance I get to promote Samurai Jack, the best cartoon ever
|
i have a facebook account and i opened it twice a day - every morning, before going to work and in the evening. i only read my homepage just to see what people posted for the day but i really don't enjoy looking at others' profile and pictures.
but anyway, just recently (last october). i lost appetite on facebook. i think i got tired of reading what people are up to and doing. i have 410 friends and i also hate it! some of my friends are people i don't exactly know. some of them just added me up because we came from the same high school even if we were not batchmates. yeah, i should have ignored their friend requests but i just don't want to be such a snob so i added them up. anyway, i don't post confidential things on my fb.
i'm so sick of social networking sites now. it's nice that you can see old friends from there. but really?!? just like the others say, if your friendship is only until facebook, then you are really not friends.
anyway, to cut my story short, i cut down my facebook time and increased my teamliquid time instead 
edit: TL >>>>> FB

I just wanted an excuse to put my profile picture as Storm Shadow...

Well with our new TL facebook integration, all 410 of your friends will know that you are posting on TL about facebook!
