For people older and more experienced, it's harder to grasp why people don't HELP EACH OTHER. That used to be a normal thing to do, so when they see a scene where someone is slowly being eaten, or dragged away, or whatever, and someone is just standing there, filming every gory detail, it's hard not to shout in frustration, "Put down the camera you idiot, and clobber that thing over the head!"

I interpreted this comment as "you're narcissistic and self-absorbed, so of course you wouldn't care." That's why I got offended.
And to sculpt, this is how I think of that situation: if your generation had facebook, instagram, camera phones and the likes, people of your generation would have been doing the same exact thing, posting selfies of themselves with their asses, titties, and everything else hanging out. Also, teenagers certainly aren't the only ones doing these kinds of things. What about youtubers in their 30's or 40's who also criticized movies like I did? Are they lumped into that group too? I didn't make that channel just to watch myself talk or for other people to look at me.
