“There are always two sides to every story” — AY criticises social media’s rush to judgment

“There are always two sides to every story” — AY criticises social media’s rush to judgment

Popular Nigerian comedian AY Makun has criticised the tendency on social media to quickly judge people and situations before hearing from all sides involved.

In a post shared on X, the comedian described social media as a “social court of injustice” that often favours whoever speaks first, with users rushing to conclusions before hearing the other side of a story.

“The social media court of injustice has always favoured the first-served narrative, often rushing to immediate judgment before the other side is even heard,” he wrote.

AY said he was encouraged by what he described as a growing awareness among social media users that every situation has different perspectives.

“I look forward to the day when social media fully embraces one simple truth: there are always two sides to every story,” he added.

He noted that recent trends online suggest that people may be gradually becoming more cautious about accepting one-sided narratives without seeking further context.

“Interestingly, with some of the recent trends online, it feels like we’re gradually getting there,” he stated.
