I'm fairly forgiving of ignorance and misconceptions. No one starts out by knowing everything...
I recall when I was young, I was afraid of sharing my knowledge. I often wanted to join in a conversation and answer a question or make a comment. But I didn't have enough faith in my knowledge. Most of what I knew I heard from others or picked up on the internet. So how could I know what was correct and what wasn't...
It's only natural that misconceptions will spread, especially among children. Though I don't like to see it happen...
But knowledge aside, when someone says something that implies a simple logic failure, that bothers me. The example I gave about the screencaps for instance. No matter how much knowledge they might lack, I would expect someone posting on imgur to at least know that phones use rechargeable batteries (or consider the possibility that they might).

otaku_emmy said: Or the whole "the age of consent in Japan is only 13 lol" shit. I always have to correct people on that because they assume that means you can fuck 13 year old kids over there, which you CAN NOT.
If I recall correctly, when I was a kid the lowest age of consent in the US was 14. Or at least that was the lowest one I could find. I don't know if it's changed.
*Edit 2 I was probably 12-15 when I was reading up on laws related to age of consent and statutory rape (which does NOT imply rape *for those that didn't know*)... If I recall, the age of consent law doesn't normally help you if you're not a minor. But the statutory rape law isn't cut and dry either. Provided that all involved parties consent (families included), the legal system may choose not to convict you. Though even then they may, so don't get your hopes up...
