There is a new internet hobby Thailand has, and that is trolling.
Well, it's all about trolls and their captive audience. Trolls such as Nawat, Coco, Ian et al, are people who leave intentionally provocative or offensive messages on the internet in order to get attention, cause trouble, or upset someone.
The trolls promote antipathetic emotions of disgust and outrage, which morbidly gives them a sense of pleasure. They are Someone who brings something off-topic into the conversation in order to make that person/ or person mad.
They are the monsters who hide in darkness and harass people. Internet trolls have a manifesto of sorts, which states they are doing it for the “lulz,” or laughs.
The controversy between TalkMissThailand and Destiny Wagner is creating a lot of hubbub and noise in the pageant world. But this time The admin of this Thai group has gone an all-time low when they compare Deestiny's braided hair to cow's shit. Really ... and from the looks of it this Thai group has really gone berserk with the way they disapprove or criticize somebody, this group's actions are bordering on ethnocentricism - it's the belief that one's ethnic group is superior to another. Ethnocentric individuals believe they're better than other individuals for reasons based solely on their heritage.
What is wrong with braided hair? Destiny is a black woman why shouldn't she have braided hair? She is proud of who she is, her culture, and her heritage, And for this group to dictate & insinuate preposterous and absurd ideas is like throwing mud to political correctness that everybody wants to practice.
As a matter of fact, Kim Kardashian has a fancy for braided hair, and on one MTV awards night, she sported Fulani braids which should have been treated as some kind of flattery (as in imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. However, Kim was accused of CULTURAL APPROPRIATION - defined as the adoption of elements of one culture by another, especially in cases where a dominant culture exploits aspects of a minority culture outside of its original cultural context and/or at the expense of the original culture for personal gain.
I don't think Kim meant anything bad when she sported that hair style. There are Blacks or Asians dying their hair blonde, who can say no to them if they want that.
Going back to this Thai group who are playing with words just to make a point, Pia Wurtzbach has already warned us the dangersof not CHECKING OR toning down our emotions when serving their opinions especially in social media: THINK BEFORE YOU CLICK!
We already see this scenario a lot of times. Somebody is gung ho about giving somebody a piece of their mind ... and then later when the heat is unbearable you see them cowering in the corner looking for safety. And the first thing they do is erase what they posted. Silly but true.
#Talk Miss Thailand in Destiny's case is most likely driven by a need for attention. Their comments, however, that Destiny's braided hair looked like cow's manure sparked negative attention from netizens, so they thought they succeeded as it gives them the illusion of being important because people are talking about it.
And now that the case is burning, and netizens are showing their disgust, they are raising a white flag of retreat.
And as they surrender their first instinct is to remove and delete them. Fortunately, some well-meaning members were able to copy and paste their work, thus giving them an indelible and never-to-be-forgotten lesson in internet use.
