Comment sections are sometimes the most aggressive places to be online right now. While we can blame this on declining literacy rates, poor education funding and keyboard warrior culture, perhaps the platforms themselves are more to blame than we think. If tolerance is the answer to misunderstanding, how do we get there?

Unpacking the principle of charity, why comment sections get so heated & why tolerance and empathy are so hard to come by online through the lens of Euphoria Season 3 discourse...

Let's dive in!

The legal deep dive you've been waiting for: Multi-billion dollar company with a purpose statement to protect the planet goes after drag queen and environmental activist for trademark infringement: both are named after a mountainous region in Chile & Argentina. Suddenly, everyone on the internet is a trademark lawyer. But what actually is happening here - is this a politicised use of the law to silence an outspoken LGBTQIA+ activist? Or is this simply an act of trademark protection?

DISCLAIMER: Nothing said in this video is legal advice. Where legislation and legal principles are referenced, they are legal information which is general and does not apply individually to specific circumstances. Any action referenced between the parties (Pattie Gonia and Patagonia) are allegations, not fact, and have not been proven.

Why are outspoken left-wing women like Abbie Chatfield attracting so much media attention and backlash right now? Let's take it all the way back to Gamergate - the online harassment campaign that some say led to Donald Trump's first presidency, and unpack whether these online gendered smear campaigns have far deeper influence than we might think.

Let's unpack the irony of the offline trend - is posting about offline hobbies hypocritical? Who better to ask than a birdwatching content creator, Jonah Lafferty.

This is a Change My Mind episode, a segment on the From the Diving Board podcast where you get to be involved too. Each episode I post a prompt on Instagram and you get to respond.
