I know this is late, but I know some of use who live in America, since we are allies with France, (even a few other countries) cares about Paris. I didn't draw this, but I thought it looked amazing!
It's an absolutely beautiful drawing, but unless you're going to somehow stop the terrorist attacks, #pary4paris does nothing but spam chats and give publicity to an organisation that thrives on it. Sorry for the harsh point of view, but publicity is what fuels ISIL and other terrorist organisations. The more media attention and the more publicity they get, the larger they grow.
They've made enemies of Anonymous, so if you say so, yes. Anonymous Is Targeting ISIS In Response To Paris Attacks | BMW M-Blog
This is true on many levels. However, #PrayForParis is a way to show that you support Paris, and that your thoughts are with them. You say it doesn't do anything besides give publicity, but I think you're disregarding the "pray" section of the hashtag. Hopefully the people aren't just creating a viral hashtag, and are actually praying--- Praying can do wonders for people, whether it's your belief or not.
To put it simply, A hash tag will not bring back those killed. A hash tag will not help the families and friends of those injured. A hash tag will not undo the damage caused psychologically and a hash tag will not help their cause. A hash tag is meaningless and does nothing to those affected by this attack. You sit behind a computer looking like you are supporting their cause but nothing you are doing is making the slightest bit of impact, it is just making it look like you care. I wonder how many people who are using this hash tag are actually praying... I am sick of it quite frankly. No offence to anyone but this pray for Paris rubbish is plain stupid, everyone is just making it trend without actual thought. Do something that will actually help if you care so much /endrant
What the mods are saying rn, is what I said the other day, and got yelled at, and told to kill myself for, in-game. xD
I can't believe that this happened, and not just that but my family was there when it happened. And Godspeed to those affected by these attacks.
The point isnt to help anybody, stupid. Its to make yourself look nice to your friends on the internet ;D
Jesus. Hashtags aren't helping anyone at all but they're not hurting anyone either. Yes it's kinda pointless considering the fact that 90% of the people posting #pray4paris aren't doing crap. But no need to bash on others for voicing their thoughts. Besides, people always voice their opinions publicly on the internet even though no one really gives a f***. So can we just appreciate the nice artwork and move on?
If they can release the info about possible links in the US or other places, they could do a lot actually. They attacked the KKK to "unhood" people, I'm assuming they'll try to unhood ISIS members as well. And considering terrorism is much easier with people on the inside, they could save a ton of lives.
