It isn't that important, get over it...

[(Anonymous)]

Inspired by comments in the video game thread.

There are certain things people do these days, that shouldn't be a big deal, but people who do them make them into a big deal. Turning it into a huge part of their identity when it doesn't need to be, acting like they're oppressed when they aren't, etc. It gets annoying.

Video games - it's a hobby. It ought to be fun, but people keep turning it into SERIOUS BUSINESS and being jerks and trying to decide who's a proper "gamer" and who isn't, and that kinda sucks all the fun out.

Beards - if you want a beard, grow a beard. It's your body, do what you want. But for the love of God, please cut it with the REAL MEN HAVE BEARDS! REAL WOMEN LIKE BEARDS! Hey, do you know what you call a man with no beard? A WOMAN HA HA HA! Ugh, the whole hipster masculinity thing is just getting really fucking old. Yeah, it's probably "ironic" but people need to learn that being annoying ironically isn't less annoying than being annoying sincerely.

don't forget vegans and crossfit

Re: It isn't that important, get over it...

[(Anonymous)]

I haven't encountered crossfit yet.

For the most part vegetarians seem sane, but I have met a few holier-than-thou vegans. Of course, I'm sure not all vegans are like that, but I'm not that likely to know someone is vegan/vegetarian if they aren't that way, unless I'm close enough to them to have had them eat at my house, or eaten at theirs.

This is the issue with pretty much every "cause." If you tell me you're vegetarian/atheist* because it's somehow relevant to the conversation, then cool, I will accept that and adjust the flow of discussion accordingly. But it is almost never actually relevant, and thus your informing me of it immediately brands you as "Oh god, it's one of them."

*Yes, I know there are people of all diets and beliefs who do this, but I am apparently a magnet for self-righteous vegetarians and atheists.

Conversely, so sick of hearing snide comments from meat eaters who think you're offending them just by eating non-meant products in their vicinity.

Why yes, my tofu burger is delicious and exactly what I want to be eating right now, thanks for asking and making endless jokes about it. How about you fuck off and leave me to eat what I want in peace just like I was leaving you in peace up until you TOOK EXCEPTION to me and started making comments. Like, seriously. Fuck off with that shit already.

*meat

Sorry about the typos. My keyboard's having issues.

Re: It isn't that important, get over it...

[(Anonymous)]

ayrt

agreed, if the vegan or vegetarian isn't bothering you leave them be. I meant the ones who push everyone to join them

Re: It isn't that important, get over it...

[(Anonymous)]

this omg. For every time I've met a vegetarian/vegan who chastises others about eating meat (maybe twice in my entire life) there are about a thousand meat-eaters who make some joke/snide remark about me being vegetarian. okay, eat twice as much meat to make up for me. yes, I murdered plants for my salad. yes, all that Peta animal rights stuff is bullshit. yes, you're right, carbon footprint was invented by liberals. ugh.

Re: It isn't that important, get over it...

[(Anonymous)]

SAME. Kind of sick of meat eaters acting like I'm a wuss, or whatever. Also, my reasons for not eating meat are legitimate; I dislike factory farming, which treats both animals and the environment badly. It's not an issue I made up in my head, and my diet choice isn't a personal attack against you.

Re: It isn't that important, get over it...

[(Anonymous)]

yeah, this. and I do notice the moment it gets brought up (by THEM), even if they're well meaning they always have to defend themselves.

I don't careeeee if you eat meat, just let me eat my stuff

Re: It isn't that important, get over it...

[(Anonymous)]

As a quiet and non-militant meat-refuser, I do find it well weird how defensive the meat eaters get about it.

Kinda sick the hypothetical they keep throwing out to prove I'm a hypocrite or something.

Why Yes, if I were stranded somewhere with no edible vegetation, I would eat meat, I hope this does not occur, because if it does, my thoughts will not be "OH GOD WHAT HAVE I BEEN DOING ALL THESE YEARS! I WAS SO WRONG, AND THAT RANDOM CARNIVORE WAS RIGHT"

Re: It isn't that important, get over it...

[(Anonymous)]

Asexuality. Okay, so you don't want/like/feel compelled to have sex. Awesome, go with your bad self and don't have any sex! It's a totally optional thing! But why the hell is it anybody's business except yours (and possibly any partner with whom you wish to make some other sort of arrangement?) More to the point, what makes you think anyone else is INTERESTED?

Re: It isn't that important, get over it...

[(Anonymous)]

+10000

i probably qualify as asexual, honestly, but i have no intention as identifying as one due to the community

giving your sexuality right in your profile is one of the worst trends to come out this decade

Re: It isn't that important, get over it...

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know if I'm comfortable with this. It sounds a lot like "stop talking about being gay or gay lifestyles, you gay people. Nobody cares."

Re: It isn't that important, get over it...

[ultionum]

Have you ever openly expressed that you're not interested in relationships? Or worse--expressing that you're okay with romantic ones, but not sexual ones? You're considered a prude and people seem to short circuit over it.

Re: It isn't that important, get over it...

[(Anonymous)]

Along the lines of video games: YouTubers who play videogames. I don't get how watching a bunch of dudes playing video games and fangirling over them is appealing. They're just... dudes.

Re: It isn't that important, get over it...

[(Anonymous)]

let's play fandoms are so baffling to me

like i get the need to see gameplay before buying a game, but why you'd want to see that gameplay over tryhard commentary is beyond me

don't tell me it's for the plot either b/c video game plots suck hard

go watch a movie or tv series if you're that desperate

Re: It isn't that important, get over it...

[(Anonymous)]

I get watching LPs. The fandoms I don't.

Re: It isn't that important, get over it...

[caerbannog]

I don't get LPs and I especially don't get the fandoms around them. Like okay it feels a gaming niche but I don't understand getting excited over the player?

*shrugs and moves on in bafflement*

Re: It isn't that important, get over it...

[dethtoll]

I don't get the LP phenomenon either. To paraphrase Harry Warner: Who the hell wants to hear gamers talk?

Re: It isn't that important, get over it...

[nightscale]

I understand watching lets plays, but I don't get the fandoms around them. Hell I didn't even know lets play fandoms existed until I saw some AH and Roosterteeth stuff on tumblr.

Re: It isn't that important, get over it...

[(Anonymous)]

Normally I prefer to play things myself, but I often watch LPs of horror games because I'm too much of a scaredy cat to play them myself. The commentary makes it less scary.

I don't get the fandoms, though.

Re: It isn't that important, get over it...

[(Anonymous)]

All of this stuff in the end is just people feeling insecure about what they like and do and getting defensive because of it. Everybody wants to feel like they're "right," because being wrong is "bad" and makes you feel small. And when someone doesn't like what you like, you have this moment where you think, "oh shit, what if I'm wrong?" Some people move past that, but a lot of other people get caught up in it, because it's a short leap from "I'm wrong" to "my feelings are wrong" to "I have to let go of my feelings to be right," and it hurts to let go of feelings. It feels a lot like loss and grief. So suddenly, "I don't like the thing that you do" feels like a threat, because it feels like they're telling you that you have to let go of what you feel, which feels like they're telling you that you have to hurt, and before you know it, you're getting angry. They're the enemy, and you're thinking up reasons why they're the one who needs to let go of what they feel and they're the one who needs to hurt.

Truth is, though, there's no such thing as being "right" all of the time, and most of what we like and feel can't be expressed as "right" or "wrong." We spend so much time caring about something that doesn't even matter, and we think we're gonna reach some place where we're always "right," but we never, ever can.

Re: It isn't that important, get over it...

[(Anonymous)]

Or then again, maybe it's not about the other person being the enemy or needing to hurt, but about them being in the wrong place and needing to go find other people who feel the same way instead, so that everybody can like or not like the thing in peace and harmony with those around them.

Being pro- or anti-makeup. Yes, sometimes I wear makeup. Yes, it's sometimes, but not always, for a man. Fuck you, it's my face, and I wouldn't do it if I didn't want to. I'm not "caving to the patriarchy" by covering up my rosacea, nor with lipstick. I'm also not "prettier without all that makeup" because, you know, rosacea. I really, really don't care if you like the way my face looks. You already have a face to make look however you want it; this one's mine.

The only thing I want to hear is, "Hey, your mascara's smeared," or, "That color looks good/bad on you." Calling me a whore because my lipstick is too red/too existent says way more about you than me.
