What it says.

I don't understand why people have to be so hateful. So people think differently from you? Let them think differently from you, as long as it doesn't hurt you. But no, make a comment and suddenly everyone has to call you out and take you down and belittle your experiences/thoughts/feelings/beliefs.

Why can't you just let people be? Do you need to throw your weight around and feel like the superior person that badly? Is that what it is?

I'm with you on this tbh.

Please tell this to my roommates.

Some people are nasty and get off on creating conflict. I forget the term for it. They make up a certain percentage of the population. If you get drawn into arguments w/ them, or have to be around them, they really make things nasty. :(

see i think that but then i'll meet someone who is WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING

the nerve

I don't get this as well.

I have a theory that if haters quit talking about how much they hated shit, then they'd realize just how empty their own lives are and would have to actually deal with that.

Oops, guess that was a bit of hating too. Oh well.

Chiggers

Ducks

Ducks are cute until they grow up into violent rapists with seventeen inch barbed corkscrew penises.

The popularity of reality shows.

I understand why networks make them (cheap and easy tv), just not that people watch it in such large numbers.

I can understand watching competitions even though I'm not interested in watching them myself, but the shows that just follow people through their lives creep me out. It feels too voyeuristic, even though I know the people agreed to it.

Why everything in fandom has to be 'important' these days. So many posts start with that word and everyone is so, so earnest about how important everything is and they've got checklists for all the important things that need to be talked about/improved upon/that they've thought of and you have agree with it because it's so very, very important.

This. Like why can't I watch a show just to have fic fodder for later???

I don't get it either. Going along with that, I don't get why someone's favorite thing has to be unique either. The very first movie to show something or the only one to tackle a theme. I've seen a lot of arguing over this (e.g. "Frozen was the first Disney movie to showcase sisterly love instead of romantic love") but I don't think the first matters that much if there's no second or third to follow it up. Those follow-ups matter too, so I don't see why it's such an insult to say that something is part of a small but growing group rather than all by itself on a pedestal.

Good strawberry milk is amazing and delicious and impossible to find. Bad strawberry milk is too sweet and smells vaguely of rotting fruit.

Why fans of Certain Popular Shows insist that all their friends must watch them and be as obsessed as they are. And even if you give it a few episodes and still don't like it, they'll tell you you aren't being fair and you need to watch more. No number of episodes will be high enough until you agree with them it's the greatest thing since coffee in self-heating cans.

See: Steven Universe, One Piece, Once Upon a Time, The Walking Dead

Sooo much this. A friend and I have this thing where every few months we get together and watch a bunch of the 1st episodes of things we've gotten into lately but that the other hasn't, and it's fun because there's no obligation for either of us to watch past that so it's more of a game and a catch up on what we've each been doing than pressuring each other into anything.

Well, I can understand pushing friends and loved ones to get into something you love, popular or no, because then it's something you can all share and totally bond over.

It is annoying to be pressured like that (and I've been on both sides), but it can be a sucky feeling when you're talking about some new thing that nobody seems to give a shit about, or worse, your friends hate like the burning.
