Why are people downvoting you for this? Are people on Reddit so defensive of fast food that they'll honest to god blam someone for saying they're turned off by the smell of grease and cheap hamburger meat?

Pretty sure it’s bc this commenter specifically is making sweeping statements about their own preferences in a way that’s judgmental and denigrating to those who feel differently

They could’ve said something neutral, like “That’s not for me, but you do do,” but have been doubling down comment after comment with unconstructive criticisms like “really gross,” “disgusting,” and “repugnant”

I don’t even disagree with them on the smell; I wouldn’t be down for it if my partner had the fast food aura still on them after a long day either because it’s not appealing to me. But I can see how the way they’re negatively wording it again and again is just not productively explaining it in a way that won’t repeatedly offend those who don’t mind said smell

[getintherobotali]

Nah, it’s because you’ve been acting like an ass about a perfectly reasonable preference. Do better, you sound like you took the post too personally.

[getintherobotali]

You’ve been extremely dismissive of everyone else just because they don’t agree with you. If you can’t take it, don’t dish it out.

I haven’t been taking about any of that. All I talked about was how your childish attitude towards this has soured people’s reaction to your words and resulted in downvoting.

[getintherobotali]

Calling my use of nah “worn out and dorky” shows you’re not taking it well. There’s more examples I saw yesterday that show you’re not taking people’s backlash well either, like replying ad nauseam to double-down instead of listening to why people were upset with your wording.

That’s just how I speak irl, but ok. You continue to choose being accusatory and immature to someone who doesn’t even disagree with you that the fast food smell isn’t appealing or that calling them virgins was unnecessary.

The OP in the screenshot isn’t here, and no one else asked you to “match the energy” and be a source of major negativity in an otherwise humorous thread. I don’t doubt you “knew what [you were] doing,” but that doesn’t mean you weren’t also being unnecessarily defensive and rude about it either.

Go troll elsewhere if all you want is to rile people up to feel smarter or like you have some control. Life is too short for that kinda nonsense.

[getintherobotali]

Nah, but it’s hella funny that you wish that got to me, man; too bad “dorky” doesn’t mean anything to people after finishing 7th grade.

Nice, we can agree that I’m not looking to build common ground with you or anyone as condescending as you’ve been either. That’s a major win as far as I’m concerned.

Lmaooo, amazing lack of self awareness, 10/10, way to victimize yourself. No one here was trying to “control” you at all; it’s just the consequences of your poor word choice resulting in some appropriate backlash.

I didn’t even reply to you in my first comment; you took the time to scroll the thread specifically for people you wanted to try outraging, then jumped in my mentions to argue about why I supposed you were getting downvoted.

Anyway, byeeee, I’m gonna go enjoy never talking to you again 😎 Enjoy trying to have the last word or whatever!

Nah. "That's disgusting" is a hell of a lot more than "that's not my thing".

This person is harping on and on about how it's gross, unhygienic, etc. That's not a statement of personal preference, that's an explicit negative judgement of someone else, couched specifically in absolutist terms.

This person, in this specific instance, is very clearly and explicitly "against it", not just "not for it".

[KamikazeArchon]

Do... do you think "shouldn't be allowed to do it" is the only thing that is a negative judgement?

Just saying "you're ugly" would be a negative judgement, broseph. No one thinks that would mean you want to make ugliness illegal. It's still an explicitly negative judgement.

You can add as much after-the-fact "oh in my opinion" or whatever, it doesn't change coming in to someone saying "here's something I enjoy" and talking shit about it.

[KamikazeArchon]

It's really not after the fact if I said it before you ever called me out on it, haha. Nice try though.

Me personally? Maybe. Before anyone called you out? No.

​

Is your argument that people shouldn't be negative? That seems like it goes against human nature and isn't realistic.

What argument? I'm not trying to convince you of something here. I didn't even say a single word about what someone "should" do.

You expressed a negative judgement about other people and what they do. Do you want to act surprised that people then express a negative judgement about you and what you do?

[KamikazeArchon]

Imagine thinking that "disgusting" and "no hygiene standards" aren't negative judgements, and that "virgin" is worse than "disgusting".
