Roast my Selfie......

[Dappy28]

AIBU to think this new facebook craze 'roast my selfie' is awful. For those who haven't seen it, you post a selfie on the page and then people roast you. Eg. Commenting the most hideous and degrading sexist / racist etc.. comments about you. There have been people who have posted selfies of other people but even if it is of themselves, there is no way people can not get offended / upset reading hundreds of negative comments targeted at them. Plus it encourages this culture of cyber bullying and people feeling invisible behind their computer screen.

My DH thinks the page its hilarious and I am being ridiculous. AIBU to think its stupid for the above reasons?

And there in lies yet another argument against FB.
People never fail to disappoint.

This is why I only have 15 friends on fb... people who i actually spend time with and know would do shit like this

Well... theyre volunteering themselves for it so what's the problem?

No arguement, just a conversation. And i was bored in the break of Cold Feet so thought I would post on here

Amazing. This is the stupidest thing on FB I've heard so far.

If it stops at least one narcassistic idiot from posting even more selfies then I'm all for it. Sort of like natural selection of the selfie world.

I was going to start a post on this but decided not to, FUP was bad enough till I got banned but this takes it to a whole new level of crazy.

Couldn't agree more!

But if your stupid or think your so cool that nobody could ever say anything nasty enough to say "hey roast me" which sounds filthy then well I'm not sure you can be offended.

The mind boogles

Haven't come across this. Sounds dreadful. Are they just posting 'normal' selfies or pulling weird expressions etc? You have to have pretty unshakeable self-confidence to ask for a critique on your personal appearance; very few people have flawless supermodel looks!

Not heard of this - although it would be tempting to tell some pouting orange tart with boot-black hair and caterpillar eyebrows who's expecting 'OMG beautiful hun' that she looks like she's been run over by a tar truck and then set on fire. Then mock apologise having 'mistakenly' thought she was after a roasting.

this sort of thing is baffling to me
