About the Kony 2012 Controversy

I saw the video a few days ago and currently seeing some controversy about the video, campaign, and charity group Invisible Children. Saw videos about how inaccurate it is, that it's a lie, a scam, etc. Even read a news article and a blog post about it that is sorta questioning the video and group entirely. Some saying they're from Uganda and claiming he died 5 years ago or moved away from Uganda 6 years ago or something and how only 31% is going into charity. Watch this to ease that pain: KONY 2012 Scam or Not?

The videos I watched that are against the video and questioning the group, this girl saying from a claim by her parents that Kony died 5 years ago and saying to do more research instead of just one sided, granted that's true on the research, however, I doubt three filmmakers did a great 30 minute video all for a scam.

Here's a quote from the blog post I linked earlier:

Okay. Let me be clear and vibrant with you.
Grow the fuck up, You can’t even let people be without saying “ITS A SCAM DON’T DO IT” “DON’T BE STUPID” or even try to change people minds with that. If you don’t like it, ignore it simple as that. I’m sick of all the dumb shits who scream at me for supporting it. Annoyed with it? Then leave it alone its as simple as that. Instead of listening to some gossip or some other thing actually get off your lazy ass and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I mean what has this world come to for people to criticize others for doing something good in the world.

Which, apparently, this person IS right.

Now, if you're question a group and say the video is misleading, especially a viral video, you need PROOF that Kony is dead, or the video IS misleading, or the whole thing is a SCAM. Words will not work hard enough for this. You need DECISIVE EVIDENCE that says Kony died x years ago, video is misleading, and/or it's a huge scam. If you don't have any proof for ANY of those, don't bother. People WILL NOT LISTEN to the anti group UNLESS they have evidence to support their claims of it.

No proof, no use. Just baseless conjecture. The video does have proof of it's own point. While other's saying it's misleading and a scam... where's your proof? If you got it, show it, if not, shut up and ignore it. Easy 1, 2, 3. Proof will convince people, words will not work alone.
