Op, you went after an Indian guy who probably has a better grasp of arranged marriages than you do.....

Yeah sorry OP, you butted in on what was actually a decently funny tweet clearly meant as a joke, killed the buzz, and then came here to say you're being attacked? Gotta read the room a bit better, bud.

It's also hilarious that you accuse the dude of having too much time on his hands, when you spent time screen capping Wikipedia articles (the worst possible way to prove a point) and throw them at him.

You may want to cut back on your tweets

also if you are screencapping wikipedia or dictionary.com items as tweets you kind of have lost already

What a jackass. I don't know who this guy is I just know he broke the #1 rule my friends and I have. You can't be loud AND wrong, you have to pick a struggle.

Honestly you're lucky it was a z-lister, anything above a C grade you would have been doxxed and threatened already

But he did come at you kind of hard, was probably trying to peacock in that girls twitter feed. Although shame on you for killing that joke.

This thread is getting more replies and views that that guy's "attack". And why were you bothering that woman? Checked out her profile and she links to the Malala fund promoting girls education. She seems cool.

What's with people on this site getting upset when they tweet at someone and they reply, lol.

There was this meme or illustration yeeeears ago that described what you just wrote...

I can't find it. :(

Someone screaming for attention (or just a hi from a girl)... they get attention... then they get all offended.

FWIW I've worked with a lot of Indians and they seemed fine with the concept. Not something I really understand but who am I to tell them otherwise?

For the record, there is no singular concept of arranged marriage, not even in India. And at least according to the Indian Journal of Psychiatry, Hindu marriages (primarily by way of arranged marriage) have been particularly prone to all sorts of problems due to customs like the Dowry. These issues clearly manifested themselves when studying marriages with women with mental health issues, as they are often discriminated against:

For Hindus, marriage is a sacrosanct union. It is also an important social institution. Marriages in India are between two families, rather two individuals, arranged marriages and dowry are customary. The society as well as the Indian legislation attempt to protect marriage. Indian society is predominantly patriarchal. There are stringent gender roles, with women having a passive role and husband an active dominating role. Marriage and motherhood are the primary status roles for women. When afflicted mental illness married women are discriminated against married men. In the setting of mental illness many of the social values take their ugly forms in the form of domestic violence, dowry harassment, abuse of dowry law, dowry death, separation, and divorce. Societal norms are powerful and often override the legislative provisions in real life situations.

OP, you kinda look like the loser of the argument here. Yeah the dude is an idiot for not thinking that problematic is a word, but you just kept picking at it while he's already off doing something else.

It makes you look like you couldn't let go the fact that he burned you.

He responded to my tweet to someone else by calling me an "ignorant fuck", then proceeds to tell me that "problematic isn't a word" and even goes on to explain why he believes that to be the case.

BTW, he wasn't responding to defend the Indian girl either. He accused her of stealing his joke.

You got clapped back for trying to -splain their culture to them.

I'm glad you made this thread if only because you might realize that
