Do you like living in a world where one adult tells another to quit whining about getting rejected by an ivy league school, and due to that the other gets that person essentially fired?

Sounds like a great world.

Do you like living in a world where adults don't have consequences for mocking a high school student?
Do you like living in a world where advertisers are beholden to the whims of said high school student?

Sounds like a world bereft of logic, justice and accountability.

A high school student who put himself out into the limelight and public scene. He is out on tv shows, and everywhere. When you get into the public space, you have to be able to take criticism, attacks and people looking into your private life. The two go hand in hand. Was she mocking a high schooler? She told a high schooler to quit whinning about not getting into a prestigious school. Hell sounds more like parental advise than mocking. But seeing as she isn't his parent, she should just stay out of it. But again, he brought himself into the limelight, and he is complaining out loud in the hopes that the schools change their decisions based on his publicity. This isn't like a celebrities kid or something pushed into the limelight not by their choice. He is using the publicity to his advantage and thus is susceptible to its evils.

Advertisers beholden to the whimes of a high school student? I'm more annoyed at advertisers flakey whims to mod rule these days. Someone says something in a tweet and the mob of SJW's on twitter attack not only them, but their advertisers until they lose support. I am not a fan of mob rule, and that is what many times this seems like.

What is going on right now seem like a world bereft of logic, justice and accountability. It seems like whining, bullying and not thought out reactionary actions by companies to please the online mob.
