Why is hyperbole considered a bad thing now?

[(Anonymous)]

It's apparently not okay to exaggerate one's emotions and opinions anymore.

A 14-year-old on tumblr saying "THIS IS THE CUTEST SHIP EVER THEIR LOVE IS ETERNAL OMG" is not implying that your ships are somehow lesser. She is using hyperbole to express how much she likes her ship. Let her have her fun. Don't be a dick.

Because everybody has chosen to exercise their right to be offended at everything, everytime, everywhere, under any condition simultaneously.

Similarly, everyone is a victim of anything they find annoying. Keep note of that, it's important.

People use hyperbole to imply (building on your example) that your ships are lesser and make you unable to be annoyed about it in the slightest because if you are they can just say "omg it was just a joke, I was exaggerating, what's wrong with you uwu"

I'm pretty sure most people do not use hyperbole so that they can be assholes who set up others to look like hypersensitive jerks.

If you love a ship, you should be able to express that without someone assuming you're calling their ship inferior. (Unless of course, you specifically state X/Y is superior to X/Z)

For me, burnout. Constantly seeing people screaming about how AMAZING or ADORABLE or TRAGIC or WHAT HAVE YOU gets a bit tiresome.

I think this is how I feel about it, too. I don't think hyperbole is bad as such -- I'm just tired of it.

...Well that, and also I tend to be annoyingly pedantic about... most things, really.

With you on the pendantic thing. Like for Christ sake just calm down, just because somethings not perfect doesn't mean it can't be good, you don't have to leap into everything to defend your favorite media's honor.

If only people didn't use hyperbole during serious discussions...

oh my GOD. That is like the MILLIONTH TIME you've complained about that! :P

See!? SEE!? :P

... is not sarcasm, is it?.....

Re: Why is hyperbole considered a bad thing now?

It's not that new. I was that fourteen year old with adults who took me way too literally. It was to the point where one time, I actually baited (almost trolled?) by saying something I knew one of the older members of the forum would get offended by. (I said all book-based movies are awful. Sure enough... yes, I realize now how petty that was.)

Re: Why is hyperbole considered a bad thing now?

Good baiting though.

Because we let people who prize technical accuracy get applauded and win arguments, so it seems that raising a technical meaning even if everyone knows full that isn't the lay meaning is the way to be king of the bean hill.
