In social networks there are more "lovers" than "haters"

The actress Antonia San Juan has released a video with a song called « Hater, hater » which portrays those «professional haters of social networks» , those people who criticize relentlessly right-handed and, above all, sinister.On the subject, composed by Victor Lemes, Estela Reynolds in "The one who approaches" sings phrases such as: "I love trying to sink others to hang out "," it is easier to insult and criticize from anonymity "or" I project my flaws in the rest because I am a hater ".

"I'm stalking all day like a predator waiting for someone to say something to take action, in real life nobody loves me but here I am in my sauce , I'm very brave hiding behind a fake account ", are other niceties that are dedicated to those" trolls "that populate networks and newspaper headlines.

"I'm stalking all day like a predator waiting for someone to say something to take action»

However, and although I sense that the song has both fun and account adjustment , I find it unfair the constant demonization of the Internet and social networks and, therefore, I take advantage of the excuse that It provides me with this topic-otherwise, very funny-to claim the general bonhomia of network users.

lovers versus haters

In the networks we share words and that, today, is a lot to share. That's why I think-or I want to believe, I need to believe-that Antonia San Juan and the newscasts are wrong to put emphasis on its dearest aspects...or, at least, they are not fair to the daily reality that we experience the people who live in them.

Of course there are "haters", "trolls" or, simply, violent and stupid people, but I don't think the percentage is higher in the networks than in the streets. In front of the "Hater, hater" I propose have someone compose the song "Lover, lover" , if only to compensate.

It is obvious, but it never hurts to insist that social networks also inhabit excellent people and causes that find in them an extraordinary vehicle to make themselves known.Having them there are and in abundance, as we have seen in nobbot.

undesirable minority

I believe that we are the citizens, through the exercise of our individual responsibility, who can more effectively tackle the excesses of an undesirable minority of inhabitants of the networks, often anonymous, to which Antonia San Juan sings.And for that we have at least three extraordinary weapons: the application of our current legal system when the situation warrants, the public complaint through the networks to signal with the finger inadmissible behaviors and, even more simple and effective, the " unfollow ".

« In the networks we share words and that, today, is a lot to share».

Let's keep in mind that the importance of a brawn in networks stays nothing if you don't have people who are speakers of your majaderias. So first follow someone in digital networks or do a RT, let's think about it, at least as much as in the offline world.

It is about marginalizing, in both worlds, those who do not respect the values ​​we have given ourselves to make possible our coexistence in peace. Let us behave, then, on Twitter as in the corner bar when we show our rejection of, for example, sexist, antidemocratic, homophobic or racist jokes.

Because we show our rejection in situations like that, right? If we don't do it, the problem is deeper than an inappropriate use of a communication platform.

And having said that, enjoy the theme of Antonia San Juan because it has its grace.
