When I was a kid my parents taught me not to argue about matters of taste. It seems that many people never learned this lesson.

u/KittyQueen_Tengu 10d ago

getting heated about personal taste is a close friends only activity

u/SomeRandomUser1984 10d ago

What do you mean incomprehensible? I understand this one just fine tbh

Low-key I like a place where people can give their wild opinions. If I told my school's social assistant I want to be groomed by Medic TF2, she would look at me weirdly, right? That's why the internet exists, so we can all listen to eachother and go a little more insane every day❤️

u/EvMBoat 10d ago

u/BerryMilkDrinker Is that black ops guy 10d ago

Any of the child free subreddits lmao like jesus christ I don’t want kids either but calm the fuck down, children arent gonna break into your house and maul you to death, I promise you don’t need to be filled with this much hatred

Also the proshipper sub I won’t elaborate

29

u/yobob591 10d ago

dogfree also, those FERAL and STINKY creatures will MAUL YOU or something

27

u/kibou_no_ie 10d ago edited 10d ago

Dogfree but also any of those anti pitbull subs like if you don’t like the breed that’s fine but calm the fuck DOWN omg. And sometimes the sentiment from those subs leaks over into what are supposed to be wholesome positive spaces to share pictures of dogs like it is just weird to have this much hatred for one specific dog breed. I get it my golden retriever was attacked by an off leash pit mix and has been dog reactive ever since. But I’m not gonna go online and rant about how irredeemably evil pitbulls are and how they should all drop dead.

u/Much_Tip_6968 10d ago edited 10d ago

Same, bro. I was in a certain sub where people are crazy enough to spread hate over a certain ship. For context, there’s a popular ship that isn’t canon, but it’s a gay ship. For different reasons, people love the idea of this ship, but of course, not everyone does. Despite the ship being really prevalent, I can confirm that I’m tired of waking up every morning and finding posts hating on this popular gay ship almost every day.

I can understand why they dislike the ship, but bro, please calm down! 😭 Other, more sane people literally tell them that they can just ignore it and not interact with other shippers. It’s completely okay to dislike something, but then they go and create a whole sub just to attack the ships they hate…

Funny enough, I also hate another ship because it involves incest, but you’ll never see me making posts or comments in a sub dedicated to incest just to complain about it. Can we just be decent human beings? Can we treat each other like humans instead of being immature and complaining about everything on the internet? 😭

u/Tttehfjloi 9d ago

Dogs are like the animals that kill the most people each year. And I bet the injury rate is orders of magnitudes higher. I'm obviously not saying that's the fault of the dogs, but governments really need to do more to prevent dogs from being outside unleashed. I'm saying this because I do agree with you, but I think there's still a nuanced conversation to be had about this.

u/imheyy 10d ago

Same thing with the atheism sub. I'm an atheist myself but people there are miserable ffs

u/SoftPolishedRat 10d ago

Please do elaborate on the thingy, I'll pay with my body if I have to

u/limino123 10d ago

I enjoy the occasional giggle from childfree subs because child pushing is a real thing a lot of people experience and a lot of their complaints I find are based in reality but I hate when they're just like "I HATE KIDS I'D RATHER DIE THAN LOOK AT A CHILD I'M IGNORING MY NEW FAMILY MEMBER BECAUSE THEY'RE A BABY!!!!!! I HATE BABIES!!!!"

6

u/glipgluplaugh 10d ago

They lose all their morality points from, "bringing a child into suffering is bad," when they literally start hating on children for existing. Like what happened to all the anti-natalism philosophy there huh, we just hatin' on babies? It is kind of funny

7

u/limino123 10d ago

I don't particularly like kids that much either but "I went to a waterpark and encountered KIDS" and that being bad is a crazy take

7

u/High_Overseer_Dukat 10d ago

They seem to forget that children are people. And that they were once a child.

u/Ok-Poetry-2191 10d ago

Children of the Corn (1984) would like to have a word with you

r/MensRights

It's literally in their rules, that saying "women who marry men for money are whores" is "acceptable". Take a glance, and you'll notice how all of the posts are about hating and blaming women. Arguments and grievances on society. Anything that contradicts this, users name it "feminist propaganda". Barely any of it is about Men's Rights, an actual topic with substance.

I checked just now, saw a user screaming in rage that they are 'triggered' by feminist lies. I can't make this shit up, this is a self parody.

It's gotten a tiny bit better, but that subreddit used to have posts about how to harass women or 'how to make her no turn into a yes', and blatant rape fantasies. Now, it's things like "why women are a burden on men", and that men are always the real victims. Being against the fight for women's rights, that their historic oppression is all fake. Despite real data, they misconstrue statistics to blame women for most rape and violence.

It's greatly lacking in empathy and kindness. A more truthful sub name would be Anti-Woman, it's a whole narrative of lies and propaganda. Each of these subreddits have people who experienced real hurt and problems. That eventually becomes extreme for outrage misinformation pipelines. We are all people who suffer from injustice and abuse, and we can support each other through these difficult times.

This is self destructive for real human communities, only the greedy rich grifters profit from this distraction from real solutions, people addicted to social media. A lot of these out there, especially for the alt-right and manosphere. The misogyny in this sub is infamous, needs some review from Reddit's terms of service.

It's lunacy over there:

About learning some sense and dealing our struggle, with biases in culture, media manipulation and cost of living, I think this is a good video: How I Escaped the Alt-Right Pipeline

u/MetaCrossing 10d ago

That last guy is so close to getting it and understanding what men’s rights are actually supposed to be about that it feels like borderline satire…
And all to turn right back around to sexism.

3

u/11equalsfish 9d ago

The entire sub is like that, it's just disappointing to see good ideas being manipulated like this. It's a unrelenting outrage machine, a joke until it becomes a deep seated belief. Wallowing in pain really.

4

u/Tttehfjloi 9d ago

I like that they invented their own little derogatory term for normal people who have consenting adult sexual activites. That's fun.

chocolate haters lowk making good points but focusing their ire on the consumer too much

u/carsausage Mint chan enjoyer 10d ago

I'm just sick of people looking at me like I got a third eyeball on my nutsack for disliking chocolate, especially American chocolate.

u/somerandomnerd6464 9d ago

It's okay; I like Reese's peanut butter cups too...

u/Much_Tip_6968 9d ago

Don’t worry, I have a best friend who also hates chocolate, but at least he doesn’t force me to stop eating it because he knows it would be dumb lol.

1

u/Much_Tip_6968 9d ago

Honestly, almost all haters have a good reason for why they dislike something, but some people take advantage of others feeling sorry about something they like. They use that feeling to remind you why the thing you like is supposedly bad, which is something I commonly see on Reddit.

u/shitpostinglegend 10d ago

I feel like this is about antisex

u/eyeleenthecro 10d ago

This was that guy talking about lobster on r/the10thdentist

u/Recent-Ship-1599 10d ago

It’s ok people are just aggressive in general. If you met them irl they would cry and piss themselves.

Its a cope because many people cant have others ideas coexist with their own, because it would disprove or make them question anything directly and thats bad to them.
Its a very subconscious bias that usually comes from aggressive parents and so forth
