Itt people angrily downvoting and building head canon of me of why I don’t find them clever for pointing out the obvious.

A proper unpopular opinion!

    Ehhh, I’m torn on the vote for this

    On One hand, it is unpopular, in that nobody really thinks this. It’s also unpopular because I think most people, if not damn near everyone, would think it’s stupid and reject it entirely based on the obvious flaws in the comparison even if they didn’t disagree.

    However, the post looks like rage bait, and you complained about voting, then you veer into mild nastiness. Which makes it likely the post was rage bait.

    If you hadn’t edited in the crap, I’d have up voted because the original post was a perfect fit for the C/. But, dude, that edit is just lame. So I had to down vote.

    You make a post in a community like this, you take the votes as they come. You don’t whine about them, and you don’t turn it into some kind of ego weirdness.

      My dude, really. I couldn’t care less about internet points that you explain how you’re carefully deciding who is deserving. Seriously. Nobody should.

      This was a casual reflection that amused me and then came the next one that I added as an edit.

      Though I admit it was my mistake to get invested for a moment and try to explain and make people understand my point. That was quite silly and pointless. Social media is what it is.
