Title: Things people do on forums that piss you off
Post by: Bildi on June 22, 2009, 06:20:47 PM
I HATE when people edit their post to quote a post after theirs.  I fucking hate that.

Not only is it rude to the quoted poster (because it blows their load before readers get to their post), but it's annoying to read because you scroll back up convinced you missed the quoted post and wonder what else you missed. 

Twats.  Thank god we don't do that here.

"I call my gf all the time (to the point where she's slightly annoyed <3 LOL! that's how she knows I love her tho), but now she's acting all weird?!?! What's going on? I'd call her tonight to talk about it, but she's hanging out with her hot new guy friend with a huge dick and nice car. WHAT DO I DO?!?!?!?!"

It's the asbestos of the 00s.
???

We have things like the Darwin Awards, an opportunity to laugh at people dying in odd or stupid situations.

It's human nature to care about tragedies that are close to home. For instance, 30 Iraqis were killed today in bombings and shootings. Do you care? If that happened in Vancouver, you'd fucking sure as hell care. It's nearly impossible to get worked about people getting killed by metal kite strings covered in glass or in celebratory shootings in Pakistan.

Racism should stay unpopular, even lose protection, but that's just MY OPINION SO LET ME HAVE IT.

^ My second most hated thing on the internet. Sorry dude, but I'll give you shit for saying stupid because I'M FREE TO SAY WHAT I WANT! (see what I did there? It's like a loop).

So what you're saying is that I can say that cows can fly and you can't challenge it because I can say whatever I want?

Because all I did was simply tell you what freedom of speech is. Did I say "Your opinion is wrong because..."? No, I didn't. 

But let's not argue about this.

- Hyperbole.  Mild dislike becomes frothing-at-the-mouth hatred.  Liking a game for a few hours becomes your new game of the forever.  Anyone who bashes a thing you like isn't just an idiot, they're a fucking idiot.  It is one thing to say it straight (being blunt should be used more often) but it is enough to constantly lose your shit over insignificant things because some dude on the internet questioned your taste in anime.

- Conspiracy theorists.  Stop clogging threads I like to read with Joo-Mason, Ron Paul bullshit.  No, David Rockefeller isn't going to throw you in an internment camp in Oklahoma if you don't buy an assault weapon today.  It has toned down a bit since the election and Dow fallout but it is still pretty bad if you are at certain forums, even if they are non-political.  If you question their sanity, they lose their shit (see first point), call you a media sheep, and proceed to give you a bunch of links and quoted insanity, ironically, all coming from the same couple of sources.

- Social revolutionaries.  Che Guevara you ain't.  Shut the fuck up.  This especially applies if you live in a comfortable suburban community or a dorm room.  The best part is that as soon as some employer offers them a decent starting salary at the end of school, they'll forget that they want to bring down the oppressive white patriarchy and start kissing as much managerial ass as possible, especially if the asses belong to white males.  Those that don't get a job (because they lack intelligence and ambition, which explains why some are that way in the first place) will continue to get increasingly bitter until they lose their shit by either being an hero or to hunker down at Prison Planet or Democratic Underground as a conspiracy theorist.  They just kind of fizzle out when they probably accept they'd never pull off a revolution anyway.

- Persecution complexes.  Most people on the internet are victims of some type of oppressor.  Whether it be the Microsoft paid gaming media or those meanies who always pull out things like facts and logic against your raw emotion in a debate, everyone's a victim.  As a result, some will carry out sob story dramas against certain posters or mods who maybe made some snark comment to them in stride and probably forgot all about.  Cue several embarrassing posts about your butthurt quest to get vengeance on a guy who probably has no idea who the fuck you really are.  It is entertaining to a point but when others try to take up their cause (because of their memories of their aching backsides when someone dared to call them out on their bullshit), it goes from comedy gold to draining.

I didn't really follow what the thread title asks.  u mad?

Post by: Flannel Boy on June 22, 2009, 08:59:25 PM
what the fuck are you talking about. we're talking about racists speaking racist speech. what does rapists and pedophiles have to do with it?

And I'm talking about pedophilia and loli rape apologists using that same right. I just feel like certain things shouldn't have the right of being protected. You need to calm down, we're talking about "things we hate" not what we want to be changed immediately.

There's a big difference between someone who, for example, defends loli rape games and someone who defends a person's right to play those games. The former enjoys those games while the latter may actually detest them.

Pedophilia has direct, concrete victims and shouldn't be lumped in with loli rape, which only features representations.

You were saying how you hate when people infringe on your opinions, but by criticizing pedophile/loli-defenders and racists, aren't you infringing on their opinions?

I'm just playing the devil's advocate here.

@ malek

There's a difference between being a pedophile and actually going out and raping children. It's just like how some people believe that gay men want to have sex with all other men, which obviously isn't true.

I'm sure there are plenty of pedophiles out there who don't act on their urges and actually try to get help. Unfortunately, society has no sympathy for these people. Why would someone choose to be a pedophile?

That's why edited that post, it was a bit confusing, but what I was trying to say is that I hate people fuming over others arguing their opinions (which is what I explained in the other post). I tried demonstrating that but failed, mainly because I suck at creating those type of sarcastic and witty posts.

lol, I'm still kind of confused by what you're saying.

So you don't think that racist speech should be banned and you were just making a point? Or something else? Sorry.  :-[

Ever heard George Carlin's Theory of Asshole Level?

Quote
The amount of an asshole a person is is directly proportional to the distance they are away from you at the time you discover this fault. Someone on TV is <yells> 'REALLY AN ASSHOLE!' Someone in the car next to you is <loudly> 'Pretty much of an asshole.' A guy standing next to you on line, <whispers> 'This guy's a real asshole.'"

Why don't you expect atheists in a thread about religion? Religious people make claims that atheists clearly disagree with. Do people have the same expectations about non-libertarians staying away from threads about libertarianism? Or conservatives staying away from threads about liberalism? Why should religion be shielded from criticism, questioning, and even mocking?

People are emotional creatures, so in real life you can't always be as blunt with them. You can't bluntly tell them that they're wrong, or full of shit, or have no clue what they're talking about. Why should this type of tact, tact used to maintain social relationships, be brought to the internet?

Forum nerds insulting other people for being nerdier, or having nerdier interests than them.

Need I remind you that YOU ARE STILL POSTING ON A VIDEO GAME FORUM?

I would agree with that if people like furries didn't exist. There are certain levels of nerdom that just go beyond the pale and make regular nerds look bad.

Actually, nerds picking on furries should be ashamed of themselves. It's like everyone always has to have someone less cool than they are to justify their own lack of coolness. "No, no, look! Relative to furries, I'm pretty cool!" C'mon. And the furries pick on plushies. Not sure who the plushies pick on. My Pretty Pony fanfic authors?

Why don't you expect atheists in a thread about religion? Religious people make claims that atheists clearly disagree with. Do people have the same expectations about non-libertarians staying away from threads about libertarianism? Or conservatives staying away from threads about liberalism? Why should religion be shielded from criticism, questioning, and even mocking?

Depends.

An atheist posting in a general "Hay guys let's talk religion!" topic belongs there just as much as anyone else.

An atheist letting everyone else know they're living a lie in The Kosher Recipe Exchange Thread is just being a dick.

People criticize the former type of atheist all the time.

Obviously an atheist has little reason to participate in such a recipe thread, and a non-autistic atheist would understand nobody wants to debate religious topics.
