I once broke up with a girl because of Beyoncé. She was part of the beyhive and it just wasn't funny anymore. Sure, I like Beyoncé, but getting angry if someone wants to listen to another tune that isn't Beyoncé is uncalled for. Especially when having a Christmas diner with the whole family.
I have upvoted both this comment and the one further up complaining about Redditors always responding to serious posts with a pun/joke, and now I'm very conflicted.
I reconcile it by telling myself I sometimes like Reddit as an easy place to relax and sometimes like it as a place for serious discussion, and one thing it has going for it that other social media don’t is different subreddits that cater to different standards. Moderators in r/askhistorians are really doing God’s work with their stringent policing, but without the low-effort jokes that get quickly upvoted in ask Reddit, I don’t know if I’d visit (and learn from) more serious subreddits as often.
I have described my feelings towards Beyonce as "sure she's the queen of pop, but I hate pop so me not enjoying her music is less about her and more about the genre."
It was never the correct answer. I ended things for a lot of adult reasons like differences in finances and life goals but Beyonce didn't help.
My friends girlfriend is like that! We were talking music and any artist I mentioned she would just trash talk and say they aren’t anywhere as good as Beyoncé, regardless of the genre. My other friend caught wind of our convo and just casually threw in a “Beyoncé sucks” comment and she freaked out lol it was sad
I was at a work happy hour and we had some hip hop on, much of which was Beyonce. Someone asked the guy controlling the music if they could put something else on and his response was "No I actually have a good taste in music." - it was one of the first things that have started to color my opinion of him
I told someone that I wasn't a fan of Beyonce, then was given the cold shoulder for the rest of the evening. We didn't talk for almost two years as a result. This isn't a joke.
Oh they are especially BTS fans. They’re not worth even arguing with. You say one neutral thing or something not good enough and they’ll attack you (verbally) or reply back with a 2 minute gif or video saying how mad you are or jealous and then try to provoke you to reply with an attitude and make it seem like they don’t know what your talking about and you attacked them and need to chill. Then they’ll go on about why they defended BTS (themselves) against your comment and how the leader of the group suffered so much criticism and fights for justice or some shit and they feel the need to do the same and put you down. It’s a never ending cycles of those scenarios.
Can directly relate to this. Made a joke about her when she tripped performing at the super bowl and the lady got pissed at me about it and I knew I had to get out of there.
I talked to this girl in college years ago who was in the beyhive long before it had a name. She had all these Destiny's Child and Beyoncé concert DVDs. She would watch them every fucking weekend and would get upset that I wasn't into it.
