What common behaviour/social trend do you simply not understand? - Hating niggers excluded <3

[Slap47]

People donating money to millionaires to support the coming revolution.

Those people that give you their entire life story unprompted when you first meet them. Nigga who are you and why do you expect me to care?

I like these people because they usually have done a bunch of crazy stuff and want to make that meaningful somehow. Some guy on a bus talks to me for an hour and the end message is just don't do meth.

• Changing your pronouns, not just trannies but they/them or alternating between he or she. I know this is a 'common behaviors' thread, unfortunately I live in a major city and it's becoming common here. I see it as a narcissistic cope for having no real identity. I see it most often in those who are too young to have major accomplishments to define them, or millennials who have not achieved much in their life. This is their way of claiming attention and controlling others.
• Hoarding/excessive shopping. It's wasteful, and you could invest that money in better versions of the things you're buying on a snap judgement.
• Dating apps. Most people look better in person, and it inflates peoples egos. I know of many people who just use them as 'confidence boosters'.
• Poly people. Enough said. Actually, not enough said. Pathetic losers outsourcing their relationship failures because they're too afraid to be alone. If you're not happy with your romantic partner, you're not going to fix it by letting them consensually sexually/emotionally cheat on you and it definitely wont make you feel better to do it yourself.

Politics becoming a normal and regular part of everyday life. People always made jokes about "that annoying uncle" who wouldn't shut up about politics at the dinner table during the holiday. Now every person has become that uncle and doesn't consider it a taboo. Why the fuck are random strangers I just met injecting their seething hatred of trump into a conversation we have? Man, just tell me about the weather or something I don't know you and I don't care.

Oh see this I wouldn’t mind but in my case, I usually get to hear about people’s sad childhood, abusive ex, and mundane history.

Piercing anywhere but your ears. Nose rings look awful and I can’t help but wonder how painful nipple piercings are.

A bit OT, but i blame the internet. Seriously, it's beomce the norm for people to go on to twitter or facebook or wherever the fuck, and hit strangers with their own personal opinions. I genuinely believe people have lost the ability to seperate the internet and real life.


OT: Using your IRL persona as your internet persona. I've been on the www since '99 and always enjoyed talking to playboy billionaire astronaughts or 12" schlong pussy slayers, because that's the role everyone played. Nowadays it seems that everyone on the internet is just a digital version of themselves. I don't get it. The internet, for me, is like Recall from Total Recall in that you use it to take a holiday from yourself.

Modern day "internet" is all about sharing your own personal life with other smart phone users to stroke each others egos despite the fact that these people barely care about each other.

We're far beyond personas unless you count being a furry or a troon trying to live an unrealistic standard online with other retards.

OT: I dont get modern days push on the value of friendship. You're not really taught that friendships are fickle and can end in a snap even if it lasted for decades, but its often pushed on you to seek them out in life. Its fine to socialize but the idea that someone is lonely cause they like their own company shouldn't be considered an oddity.

In my opinion, I believe its a social pressure to get people to 'fall in line'. If you have views outside of the norm + a small social circle, you will be deemed an outsider and 'you would have more friends if you just changed your opinions/views'. Friendships are very fickle, I agree, and often depend on things outside of your control, like the other person changing over time, and there's nothing wrong with not wanting to be friends with the new person they've become.

Zoomer fashion for girls. Why do they have to dress like whores?

It's a youth-obsessed culture. Can't blame people for leaning into it.

 

[Pissmaster]

Seriously though, the whole anti-gatekeeping thing and the death of calling people "posers".

It's how you get outsiders trying to join your group to fit in so that it doesn't become a mushy indistinct mess of shit

 

[Heckler1]

People who don't return their shopping carts, put groceries they don't want back in their proper place, and people who call their pets "furbabies".

 

[Captain Syrup]

People who don't return their shopping carts

You know how much a cart left on the sidewalk goes for? 100 bucks at your nearest scrapyard. I checked.

Bring your carts back, f*ggots.

I will never understand how third wave feminism became a thing, women seemed pretty damn perfectly free to do what they want in the 2000s and they seemed generally content.

Nothing about 2000s culture was anti-female, if anything it was the opposite, women were celebrated, sure, you were expected to look cute or sexy, but so were guys, why wouldn't being attractive not be what's celebrated and put on a pedestal? A fat, ugly woman was just as unpopular as a fat, ugly guy.

Women had plenty of media that catered to them, plenty of cultural icons to look up to, plenty of voices in the media (ala The View), everything was perfectly fine, at the end of the decade a woman was in serious consideration for being President, all without the need for 2010s feminist screeching.

Then the 2010s came along and suddenly everything is wrong, everything has to change, women acted like they're living in the Handmaid's Tale, it was just complete nonsense and I still don't get why society just rolled over and swallowed it.

How did the generation of women who were treated like literal princesses as kids grow up to cry about oppression?

I don't have a visceral negative reaction toward fatties. They're fun to laugh at. That's all.

Cold take: It's possible (though perhaps less likely) to be overweight and attractive.

It's just that Twitter allows only for shallow takes with no nuance, which has bled into the real world. Either everyone is beautiful, or no one is.

I don't have a grudge toward fat people. They're fun to laugh at. That's all.

Controversial take: It's possible to be beautiful and fat.

It's just that Twitter allows only for shallow takes with no nuance, which has bled into the real world. Either everyone is beautiful, or no one is.

A little fat's fine, but there's such a thing as too much fat, which is what we can no longer just come out and say, even though it's true.

I bring that up because beauty standards is one big difference the 2000s and now, certainly there was a period of time in which models and actresses were too skinny, which too skinny is a thing as well, you want a healthy medium, that was one area where there was room for improvement.

But politically and socially there was nothing significant holding women back, women were, by law, free to pursue any career they wanted to, the entire other half of culture catered to them, it was not fucking the Handmaid's Tale.

But what happened is suddenly the attitude was that not being the center of attention at all times is what counted as "oppression", having any media at all that catered to guys was a problem, not favoring and prioritizing women all of the time was the new "oppression" they were fighting against.

Star Wars is a perfect example of this, we go from Leia being one of the 3 most important characters of the original trilogy, who was a well rounded, well written character to Rey in the sequel trilogy, who was the center of attention, who was shallow with no real character flaws, who faced no real hardships and the male characters were either short shifted or made to look like fools, cynics and burn outs.

It's a similar deal with race relations in America, the battle for equality shifted towards a battle for special treatment and priviledge, if you want to talk equality, then fine, if you want to talk about feeling entitled to special things I'm not, then fuck you, you're not better than me or more important than me just because you're not white or male.
