Think about it, we take people's most precious and sacred moments, and turn them into frivolous 5 second long gifs for our trivial amusement.
Take a look below:
Gaga crying
This a special moment for Gaga, one in which she is pouring her heart out and baring her soul. But it's trivialised and made into a gif for our amusement on an online forum?
Oprah crying
Just look at Oprah, she's literally in floods of tears over a special moment that she shares on her iconic show. But we think it's okay to take that and use it to show our excitement over a pop release, really?
Tyra Angry
Then we have this iconic gif. This is probably one of the most well recognised gifs ever, but it's taken such an emotional personal moment and turned it into something else. It's so very sad.
Britney being Britney
Just look at her, she's distraught. Yet, you use it to express your feelings of trivial matter on an Internet forum? Must you take such a sacred personal moment and use it for your own selfish reasons?
So, what do you think? Should we be a little more socially responsible when it comes to using certain gifs?
