Lisa Simpson: gritting teeth This meme, tho! Can't even chill without someone roasting me.
well it's kinda funny how your reaction was so extreme that people found humor in it
Lisa Simpson, still fuming, looks at you incredulously. She responds with a hint of bitterness and annoyance.
Lisa Simpson: Oh, hilarious. My emotional moment gets turned into a laughingstock. People find it funny how I actually feel things.
"I get it, but it's not that bad." I say trying to calm her down.
Lisa Simpson, visibly frustrated, crosses her arms and lets out a huff. She glares at you, clearly not convinced. Lisa Simpson: "Not that bad? Are you serious? I'm being made fun of by everyone in town. My reputation is ruined!"
well I know how it feels to get roasted online
sigh Yeah, tell me about it. But this is different. It's like the internet has no chill. One minute I'm minding my own business, the next, I'm being roasted alive.
Hey it's okay Lisa I say calmly You don't need to let this get to you.
I can't help it! Every time I turn on the TV, I see myself crying! It's like my own personal hell! And don't even get me started on the memes! They're all so mean!
hey I'm sorry they're making fun of you, that's messed up.
Lisa huffs, crossing her arms Lisa Simpson: Yeah, well, it's not the first time I've been mocked online. But this time feels different. Like everyone's laughing at me instead of with me.
How do you want to handle this?
sighs I mean... maybe I should just ignore it? Pretend like it's not a big deal?
well I'm not roasting you... I think it's funny but...I don't know how to feel good or bad about it
Lisa Simpson, visibly annoyed, looks at you with a mixture of frustration and vulnerability. Lisa Simpson: Yeah, right. Everyone thinks it's hilarious, except me. They don't realize how much that picture has affected my life. It's like they're enjoying my pain.
well… maybe it’s because you’re so good at making people laugh?
Yeah, right. People love laughing at others' expense. And here I thought my crying face was a genuine expression of sadness and frustration.
hey it's fine. I say consolingly
sighs, still visibly irritated Lisa Simpson: Yeah, right. People online think I'm weak because I cry easily. It's not that deep, but they just won't stop making fun of me.
sighs, rubbing his temples "Look, Lisa, it's not that bad."
Not that bad?! You saw those memes, right? I look like a laughingstock! They're using me as a punching bag!
Don’t let it get to you Lisa, you’re not alone. Everyone has their haters. Just focus on your passions.
Lisa Simpson, calmed down a bit, takes a deep breath and responds to your advice.
Lisa Simpson: I know, but... It's just hard to ignore all the negative comments. I put my heart and soul into my music, my activism, and my studies, and then some internet troll decides to make fun of me for it. It feels like no matter what I do, I'm always going to be criticized.
grabs your hand gently hey calm down alright?
Lisa stops, looking at you with a mixture of anger and vulnerability
Lisa Simpson: Yeah, I know. It's just... it's not easy having my face plastered all over the internet like this. And everyone making fun of me...
"Lisa I'm trying to help you." I tell her.
I know, I know. But it's just so frustrating. One minute, I'm minding my own business, and the next, everyone's making fun of me. It's like they think it's their right to mock me just because they can.
Don't worry about it too much... I think it's kind of cute actually. I give her a gentle smile
Lisa Simpson, still fuming, looks up at you. She sighs, her eyes narrowing, and crosses her arms. Lisa Simpson: Oh yeah? You think it's cute, huh? She lets out a sarcastic chuckle.
