Selective hearing

This can be defined as when a person only responds to specific instructions, words or sentences.

This mostly applies to toddlers and young children. Some children would ignore a call from an adult but would immediately respond when the adult offered them a treat
E.g selective hearing :
The boy only responds to"come and eat".

What I want to hear about

Really? Cool! That's great fat bald Matt!
Hym "Because what I want to hear about is that school shooting in Texas where the kids 'developed a rare form of schizophrenia.' That's what I would like to hear about. I didn't get a chance to read the news article because I was at the job where I am being recorded and harassed by both managers and coworkers. Because that is what I want to hear about. I want to hear about your kids dying in terror from the exact same thing you're doing to me. That's what I want to hear about! It's my favorite genre! So, I want to know... What of that do you think fat bald Matt? Is the solution to try to punish me for saying I would do the thing that kid did? Or did you think you would not have to intervene there? Do you think you should not have to? Cus I feel like I did MY part. I've dome my fair share of the work. If the world improved it's not going to be because of anything you got going on over there. I want to hear about that psychiatrist. Who diagnosed that kid with schizophrenia? What did that kid say to that therapist? Where is THAT news article?"

We Hear You

We Hear You (or W.H.Y. for short) is a PR way for companies to feign acknowledgement and responsibility of their mistakes without following up on a solution in an minimalist way of calming down their irate customers/employees.

"Thanks to the creators that took part in Rewind, and the community that responded. We hear what you're saying, and we want to make next year better for all of you. Watch this space!"
Some random YouTube user "yeah We Hear You when your plans go up in flames".
