This is the internet! Everything people say is serious business and to be taken seriously and as real things!
Sheesh.
I post a couple rants about the perplexity and oddness of popularity of some shitty pop star, my thoughts on how human minds think in regards to their preferred gender, and suddenly an entire personality and set of thoughts and behaviors are posed on me.
FWIW, I've never heard more than a couple of sampling of Bieber's music and barley give the kid any thought whatsoever.
Now, excuse me, I'm going to go write a letter to The Nostalgia Critic and the Angry Video Game Nerd because I think their rants on decades old forms of entertainment are a bit too strong and they may have some anger issues they need to have resolved.
Which doesn't make sense. Ask a young boy what celebrity girl he thinks is the best looking, he's most "in love with" and he's more likely than not to say the name of some hot, fabulous, celebrity whom grown men drool over. At the youngest he might pick a very young, but still post-pubescent, celebrity (like, say, Miley Cyrus.) He's not going to likely pick some pre-pubescent little girl.
So why do girls, who are supposed to be sexually attracted to men who look like they can defend and provide, attracted to a flaky boy-boy like Justin Bieber? What is it that makes a girl go from crushing on the Bieber/pop flake stars (the boys of Hanson also come to mind) to crushing on, you know, men! Men with abs, and pecs and hard jawlines and deep voices?
Why are girls so messed up is what I'm asking.
It must be nice to know how to skirt around the rules.Yeah, that's exactly what I said.
No, what I said was
You = not lightening up.I think that some people are forgetting the subject of this thread. It's a rant. It's not supposed to be rational. Lighten up a little.
Nowhere did I say that people couldn't discuss the op's rant. I was just trying to get people in a better mood.
BTW, calling someone on something shouldn't include insulting them.
Just because Trekker's excuse after being called on his behavior is that he was joking and being deliberately hyperbolic doesn't make it so. Like I said, he's done this countless times before.
I don't have to "lighten up" about an angry, jealous, irrational, and bizarre rant, and yes, you were essentially excusing it for no other reason than it was a rant.
By the way, I said the behavior was pathetic and petty, not him, which is perfectly within the rules.
Anyway, if you want to dispute the content on what I posted before, go ahead. If you just want to keep telling me to lighten up because you think he was just trying to be humorous (which I don't think he was), I don't see the point in continuing this.
Last I checked this is a forum where people talk about their point of views. Do you understand that? How did you become a mod?
Haven't you noticed by now that I care about everything?
Hey, no worries - we are both 'fervent' people - I SOOOO get you in that regard!Sorry to get on your case. I think it was your post in combination with the one before you that set me off. I think I just feel that when it comes to entertainment, people should be comfortable liking whatever they want.
But I, for one, never saw any guile on your part or anything. I just made the miscalculation of making a flip remark without fully explaining the backstory for it because I really didn't think anyone would care...and worse, I made it backed up to someone else's remark that on it's own was sort of controversial. So the fault is mine. Group hug and all that! But if you want to talk about it (or anything else) more, please feel free to PM me. I don't like some of the other stuff that is going on in this thread right now...and before I get myself in trouble, I need to stop reading it. 
That's not the point. The people here see the misogynist attitude about "messed up girls" and they see the creepy fixation on the masturbatory habits of those same tween girls, for two examples out of many. Just because people here aren't the target of the rant doesn't mean nothing that is said can't bother people here.
It was "personal" long before I arrived, just not in any way that you apparently care about or that dampers your enjoyment. Misogynist and creepy posts happen to damper my enjoyment, but to each their own, I guess.
That goes both ways.
