Re: What kind of statements make something go from harmless to "douchey"

[(Anonymous)]

I'll go with stating something as a fact.

"I think music festivals are dumb and boring." - Not Too Douchey
"Music festivals are dumb and boring." - Douchey

It's also a lot easier to sound douchey when being negative.

"I think music festivals are a waste of money." Kinda rude
"I think music festivals are fantastic and affordable." Not rude.

Context is important too. I think aggressively replying to a statement with an opposite one is douchey.

"I love music festivals." "I think music festivals are stupid and boring." vs. "Eeh, they're not really my thing."

"I hate music festivals." "Music festivals are the best entertainment ever invented, you jackass."

"I think music festivals are fantastic and affordable." Not rude.

That's not the same meaning at all though. Better:"I wouldn't pay this kind of money for a music festival because it's not my thing." You can be less rude without outright lying and if you hate music festivals, saying they're "fantastic" is an unnecessary false statement to make, as is "affordable" when it's not, in your opinion.

Trying to say that absent of everything else, making an unprompted negative statement is more likely to be seen as rude than making an unprompted positive statement.

I was assuming this was meant to be in a conversation about music festivals, considering this would be such a random standalone statement out of the blue.

I was picturing like just walking past a sign for a music festival and announcing to the people you're with your opinion on music festivals.
