    Well, I dunno’ about a universal problem, but it’s definitely a nasty little thing stuck in the craw of the social zeitgeist.

    I genuinely blame it on corporate media. They NEVER simply describe events and must sensationalize and narrativize everything. It gives credibility to what would otherwise be judgemental gossip, and people latch on and follow suit because of the sense of formality the “news” gives it.
