      I saw a meme yesterday that references this phenomenon:

      “the saying used to be ‘it’s too good to be true’ has morphed into ‘it’s too horrid to be false.’”

        The fascinating thing about these stories is that 10+ years ago people were all like: pics or didn’t happen.

        Now everyone is up in arms to defend these stories they want to believe in. /R/nOtHiNgEvErHaPpEnS

          That’s a good point, I am surprised by the amount of people who don’t seem to care if something is true as long as it’s “entertaining”. It’s probably a similar mindset to enjoying reality TV or pro wrestling?
