I think his “childhood friend” has maybe had the hots for him forever and he totally ignored her. So her letter is a.) her getting out her anger that another girl—an UNCONSCIOUS girl—managed to get what she herself had always wanted, so of COURSE it’s that girl’s fault; and b.) I think she’s hoping he’ll see her as…

I am not blaming her directly for this, because that isn’t right.
What’s the point of a comment like this? You aren’t the only one to do it, sometimes people make it about the irony of complaining of people making it about themselves whilst making it about themselves.. but why? If the comment bothers you so much then why don’t you just not comment? Why try to get attention for your…
I’m immensely annoyed by the “I’m so upset by the story, here’s a distraction!” type posts as well. It seems really trendy. Like people need to prove that they are maximum distressed by a story, in a humorous way? It does strike me as a little attention-seeking and I don’t think it brings anything of value to the…
Well now the string is all about you. Congratulations.
I bet you’re the kind of person who bitches about selfies on Facebook.
Well, you and I read the words quite differently. Sorry that you feel you’re being piled on, but you really are the one who took it to the level of “My reading of your comment convinces me that you’re a narcissistic piece of shit,” so I mean, I don’t understand why you think it’s everyone else who’s being hostile.…

The feelings were in the second graf. You might’ve wanted to read the whole thing before rushing off to post your diagnois. She literally did connect the cake to her feelings about this story and literally did not substitute “look at my cake” for commentary on the story. I honestly think you owe her an apology.
You are welcome to take your own advice and ignore me.
It’s about reaching out for comfort in a community that she feels will respond as she needs, and offering her own comfort to those who feel similarly distressed.
It is a comments section. The entire point is to react to the story. This was this person’s reaction and it is a perfectly valid one.
I have a Boston Cream Pie that I’m willing to share.
Your “BUT YOU’RE IGNORING VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN!” routine is performative and gross. Policing women’s expression is profoundly anti-feminist.
Learn about rhetorical devices, thanks.
What’s the point of your comment? Why do you feel the need to judge how someone processes a terrible event?
That cake comment is the best part of my morning so far.
... people process events in different ways. What the fuck is your problem?
In other news I’m about to make a birthday cake for my boss with a cute little piggy on top. Her daughter emailed me last minute and asked since she had seen some of my cakes on Instagram. It’s going to be almond cake with roasted cherries and whipped cream filling with chocolate ganache on top.
