yeah that's the thing, this whole thing is so harmless and it dares you to do something that may inconvenience you a little bit or help out a cause.
wait what? the point is that it's super loving stupid to challenge someone to NOT donate money and then act like you're supporting some cause

if you're going to incentivize people doing dumb poo poo to embarrass themselves on the internet it would be better to like, challenge someone to do it and they have to donate a dollar for every hour that passes before they post a video of them completing it

someone wanted to armchair psychologist about sociopaths; I think goons get really angry at this whole thing because theyre being peer pressured into doing something they don't want to do (like jumping in a pool) and that causes them discomfort and, because they can't give a legitimate reason for not doing it other than hurting their pride, they write angry messages about it anonymously on their messaging board hoping other miserable souls will chime in and agree with them to validate their non-participation.

I think donating to charity is a good thing but I resent being told what to do by annoying people so I donated $50 to the anti-ALS group & $50 to the pro-ALS group so it would even out.

actually you're daring people to donate money and if they don't they can shame themselves by dumping cold water on themselves, and its great because a lot of the celebrities will dump the water on themselves AND donate.

how do you twist the facts so much to fit that weird, negative world you live in?

btw you should all do the poop bucket challenge https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCguifTJOyw

actually it's never been described that way before ever, but your way makes it sound even more pitiful, so i guess it works too. why would anyone go to that much effort to be like "abloo bloo i'm too broke to donate so i'm going to dunk tank myself in front of the entire internet"? i mean obviously there aren't actually negative connotations like you're implying because so many people almost seem proud to do it. it's just stupid no matter how you look at it

Oh, put that thing away, Samurai. We all know what's going to happen. You'll swing your sword, I'll fly away, and probably say something like, "I'll be back, Samurai!" And then I'll flutter over the horizon and we probably won't see each for... about a week. And then we'll do the same thing again.
