This person used apples and pears to describe how the internet has changed and it’s perfect
It seems that the internet is becoming increasingly argumentative [No it isn’t – Ed.] and it’s difficult to say anything without somebody correcting or criticising you. Writer and Twitter funny person, @Pandamoanimum has seen her fair share of this kind of behaviour, which is why she is so well qualified to comment on it.
This is what she concluded.
Twitter 2009.
I like apples.
I like pears.
That’s cool.
Yeah.Twitter 2018.
I like apples.
So you’re anti pears then.
No, I just prefer apples.
So you hate pears.
I never said that.
Fucking pear hater.
I don’t hate pears!
Yes you do. You make me sick. Scum.— Amanda (@Pandamoanimum) September 13, 2018
The tweet has had 90 thousand retweets and a lot more people have engaged with it, including historian, Greg Jenner, who joked …
yeh, but it’s not just about fruit, Amanda, it’s about more than that… it’s about green fruit.

Amanda played along.
Apples can be red too, Greg. Or do you think they’re inferior to green apples? Christ, I never had you down as a red apple hater. Wow!

fuck you and your apple fascism, Amanda.

BLOCKED AND REPORTED, HISTORY BOY!

Greg wasn’t the only one with a fruit-based complaint.
Banana racist.
— Jayne Sharp (@Jaynesharp) September 14, 2018
Yeah, I can’t be a banana racist because my cousin once ate a banana and my cousin is like my family and she ate a banana so that’s like me eating a banana so how fucking dare you accuse me of being a banana racist.

I know this is a fun bit of satire, and everyones having a laugh, but let’s get real here.
Mangos are the superior fruit.

This banana was called “spotty” and “bendy” by apples and pears. Let’s show the world that every fruit can be beautiful. I dare you to like this Tweet and re-Tweet. I know 99% of you won’t. Let’s get to a thousand likes!#bananastoo pic.twitter.com/nYFoPOEhBQ

Noting that her tweet had gone viral, Amanda added this.
I think here is where I’m meant to promote my SoundCloud. Except I haven’t got a SoundCloud. To be honest, I’m 42, and don’t even know what a SoundCloud is. So, instead, I’ll just use this moment to say, “Be nice in life. Don’t be a fucking dick. Life’s too short for that.”

What the f*ck would she know? She’s just a banana racist.
