You do know, you are reading things from the media right?
Of course there are people using myspace, I never said there weren't. Did I ever say that people that chose to use myspace weren't already screwed up?
Myspace is just a portal for use, like chat rooms, confidentials in newspapers, hobbyists, and EVERY other form of possible entertainment, with enough use, people choose to become addicted.
Myspace is addicting, because YES, people do enjoy the feeling of attention. There are girls on myspace who take whack ass photos in the worst possible lighting and angles to improve their looks. "hot or not" did the same thing, and on some variations of the site, some girls have over 2000 comments on one picture of their face. There are girls that find these old sites, copy the image of forgotten beauties, and post them onto myspace. They find old photo albums, take pics of their friends, and post them to myspace.
There are variations of myspace! friendster, facebook, hi5... there are highschool versions, piczo, xanga.
These sites are attention whoring, and you are correct, they do attract deranged individuals.
What I am arguing is that people who become AFC's through myspace, already had the seeds of AFCness inside of them. They chose Myspace as a way to become more popular, and as Myspace is easily adapted to liars and social scammers, they were pulled into the mix of people who abuse the system for their own egos and psyches.
Myspace doesn't create AFC's, Myspace creates a space for people to look around, interact with other people, and continue on their journey if they are so inclined. They can delve deeper and deeper into Myspace, create their own little dating niche, and expand from there.
Others still have fear of rejection, and establish Myspace in their minds as the ONLY source of direct female contact... ergo all of the "your hott baby" postings. Many of the guys on the site already lack the desire and the drive to approach a woman in public and say that to her face, why? Because it's cliche.
Myspace isn't 'fycking everything up" Myspace just gives space for people who are already "fycked up" to gain attention to their actions, and get support and motivation from people who don't know the real them...
Myspace is a tool, a powerful social tool, and some people get addicted, as I said, and their addictions can stem in thousands of different directions... if enough people insult a person, they can correlate the insults to their own lives...
It is not Myspaces fault the people become fycked up, it is all in their own head.
