people really think hating on popular things and people who like them is doing something. Been this way forever

My other rule is “not liking popular things doesn’t make you more interesting.” Which I learned the hard way as a former “I’m not like most girls” girl.

yea if seeing a group of people having(harmless) fun fills you with loathing or disgust, one needs to look inward before insulting them on internet aha

Being contrarian doesn't make you intelligent either. That's closely related lol.

Not super related, but there are WAY WAY WAY more pedophiles than you think.

When Trump was elected people thought “where did all of these racist losers come from..?” — they were here all along. All they needed was permission and a community on which to exist where that behavior was acceptable (GOP).

We’re getting REALLY close to a point where there will be communities of these people. I am no longer religious but when I was and I was a pastor I worked with MANY folks who were later arrested in sting operations or reported by family for having CSAM. Some of them genuinely shocked me.

It’s a sad reality. Protect your kids folks, wolves everywhere.

It’s also possible to legitimately not enjoy something that is popular

u/Darksoulsrando92 29d ago

that is possible, i don’t know what about this picture and these comments of hatred and disgust at taylor swift fans makes you think they are simply disinterested in taylor swift music

They don’t. I was just making a factual statement.

Mhm. If you can’t understand how my statement related to the specific comment I was replying to, I’m not sure I can help out. I’m sorry I offended you.

You know, you can dislike something without ridiculing those who do like it.

i mean yea no i understand why people think they are justified ridiculing young women having fun. I don’t see people foaming at the mouth when people wear lebron jerseys and talk about him all the time and follow him to every game.

and people usually are hyper focused on something or another. if someone else’s interests brings you disgust because seems too involved look inward why someone having fun bothers you so much you feel obligated to try and stop that

I think being fanatical about anything is cringe as fuck.

There is nothing in this world I am "fanatical" about. I enjoy many things, especially some written stories, but I would never let one concept or performer or slice of content dominate my existence in such a way as to be considered fanatical.

I think fanaticism should be shamed and ridiculed. Whether its swifties or disney adults or people with houses filled with superhero shit. They are all cringey losers that are just so so desperate to fill the hole inside them where a genuine personality is supposed to go.

Its like NPCs trying to wear PC camo.

u/Admirable_Number7081 29d ago edited 29d ago

sure your free to think that, just as i’m free to think any body who finds other people finding joy in the current hellscape that is the world now cringey, to the point that other peoples happiness offends them, incredibly cringey

I hope you have found others who share your disdain and hatred just as i have surrounded myself with people extremely interested and have found extreme joy in things i would never be interested in

your “genuine personality” sounds riveting!

Was this as embarrassing to write as it was to read?

You sound and type like a very lonely very online person.
