The Attention Whore Conundrum

First, the definition of Attention Whore from Urban Dictionary because one of the definitions of nerdy is also pedantic.


Attention Whore:

Label given to any person who craves attention to such an extent that they will do anything to receive it. The type of attention (negative or positive) does not matter.
You're such a GD attention whore!


I really, really would love to see this terminology fall into disuse on the internet, if only because it seems to be completely overused.

Posted a picture that could be recognized a female: ATTENTION WHORE!
Posted a comment that indicates gender: ATTENTION WHORE!

We are human beings (that need attention) on the fucking internet (where it is easy to get attention). Why the hell can't people just accept that this is the function of the damn internet and get the fuck over it?  If you don't want to give someone attention, then just ignore it, don't turn into a shit flinging monkey.


*Deep Breath*

I just wonder if these are the same people who go to conventions to tell people they suck? Are these the same people who follow an artist or actor so that they can post their vitriolic distaste for their work or existence? 

Those people confuse me.
