“Walk Up, Not Out: The New Extremely Dumb Thing From the Makers of THIS IS AN ANTI-DEPRESSANT.”
—a friend
So, people who support WUNO, tell me: Which six year old was responsible for being nicer to Adam Lanza so he wouldn’t kill 20 first graders?
Despite the seemingly unlimited number of attempts extroverts make to explain introverts to themselves, WUNO has proven to me that they will continue to fail.
Among so many other things, it feels so much like it could be filed in the same folder as “smile more!” bullshit.
It also creates an unfair stereotype that the quiet kid who sits alone and prefers reading and video games and drawing over playing basketball and having sleepovers is going to get a gun and shoot up the school.
Bullying isn’t cool, but nobody is obligated to be friends with anyone, either.
