The guy who made the reddit thread above is a a oddball. He spends almost all day on reddit on "crusades" against wendigoon, turkey tom, and other evil right wingers while also posting hentai and spamming subreddits with links to left wing videos. I usually chalk anyone with over a million karma up as a bot but not to sure about this guy.

Old news, but ExcaliburUmbraREEE is genuinely a fucking crazy person and he hasn't stopped at all. Dude does nothing but hategoon every day about Asmongold and a handful of ""chud tubers"" I.E. Vtubers that don't huff the correct political sides farts.


This nigga makes like 12 threads a day that are 80/20 him bitching about right wing youtube thumbnails or jerking off to the little girls from Blue Archive.

I think I did it. Finally, after all these years. I think I found the perfect, purest, most distilled example of the Redditor Mindset™

It’s amazing how they took away the wrong thing from it. No introspection, nothing. And their fellow Redditors cheer them on.

I've reached the point where every vegan post I see on the internet conjures the mental image of Onision. It's scarily accurate.


TVD unironically.

Still, I wouldn't call those BAD gifts per se, moreso just 'eh' gifts. And the guy is being way overdramatic with the 'something the gift giver wanted to force on me' thing and the spiel about the narcissism etc of giving.

If you want something expensive and specific, link it. "I want knives" means "I don't care, I just need new knives". If you link $85 knives, the buyer will know they're the ones you want and the price implies it's a big deal and will be greatly appreciated.

The best part is that I can virtually guarantee they all still eat "burgers". If you take the view that eating animals is unethical, then why would you even want to pretend you're consuming dead animals if doing the real thing is supposedly so disgusting and immoral? Vegan burgers wouldn't exist to begin with if there weren't real burgers to use as a frame of reference.

If they examined their own stated philosophy for five seconds then surely they would view consuming Beyond Meat as being like a pedo having a child sex doll instead of hurting real children, still unethical because it's simulating violence people shouldn't want to commit to begin with. OP is still doing the same thing the hunter called her out for, just in a more abstracted form. Vegans are just people who eat fake versions of real food and then think that makes them better than you.

Dunno if this has been posted before, but this sub is a treat. It's people who are too poor or lazy to move out of mold infested living spaces (admittedly a shitty situation to be in) but they treat mold like its some kind of eldritch god or something lol. They blame it for their mental health problems, their low IQ's, one mother of a mixed race baby even blames it for her wanting to kill her child.

Late to the mold discussion but it has to be said:

Mold is an enemy of humanity. It is a form of fungi and needs to be exterminated.

Acknowledge the fungi enemy, destroy the fungi enemy!

All of these posts where he's basically angrily screaming into a void are hilarious.

Peeping his post history, I'm actually a bit surprised r/saltierthankrayt or whatever even allows non-Star Wars discussion.

I mean, this is the kind of gift most people prefer these days. If you don't know what to get someone, that's a pretty safe bet.

I understand the frustration of the initial post though, and I don't like the accusation that opposing bad gifts is inherently ungrateful. A lot of people are just bad at gift giving and they're shopping addicts who insist on buying you what makes them feel good. There's a stark difference between clueless but well-meaning gift givers and those who boundary stomp.

It's especially bad after having a kid because people you barely even know see it as an opportunity to unload mountains and mountains of crap on you, as well as buy cutesy but useless things in the droves.

I remember explicitly telling family members for months not to buy me baby clothes 'cause I knew I'd end up with piles of them in the form hand-me-downs and whatnot. Guess what? This request was ignored and I ended up with dozens and dozens of newborn-sized outfits that only fit my infant for a couple of weeks. Sure, I was able to offload some of the excess through a church, but that sort of thing can be a huge headache when you're in the postpartum stage. Ultimately, it was a waste of money that could've been spent on useful things for the baby, or just not spent at all.

My psychotic bitch of a mother-in-law, who my husband's since cut off like a tumor, started hating me when I asked her not to buy me cookbooks.

This woman was the worst cook I ever ate with, yet she hoarded cookbooks. She had a massive, awesome kitchen that she complained about being too small because her cabinets were STUFFED with cookbooks. I told her no, that I don't like cookbooks, that I get my recipes from the Internet and my mother. Even then, I use them as loose guidelines more than anything.

This made her so angry that she waited until I was out of town visiting family to swing by and leave cookbooks at our house (???). When I gave them back to the father-in-law, I heard she was massively offended. Of course, she never directly spoke to me about it despite having my number, she just seethed at him and my husband.

These situations happen and it's rude, plain and simple. It wasn't a real gift. A transaction occuring shouldn't take precedence over a person's wants, like "I spent money on this, therefore, you must accept it with a smile" is such a caustic attitude.

An obviously worse example is people buying recovering alcoholics expensive drinks to pull them back into it. I've seen this shit happen deliberately within families and it's not cute or loving.

My approach to giving gifts is asking myself: what would they want, but could never justify buying for themselves? And it doesn't have to be a physical gift. One Christmas, I bought my stressed out grandmother a spa day she could use at her leisure after vehemently saying "no gifts" in the weeks leading up to it. Needless to say, she was very happy. On her birthday, I bought her a cameo from Arthur Morgan's VA in RDR2 because she had a crush on the character, lol.

If someone doesn't want more crap, just give them money or an experience. Don't use them as a dumping ground or a springboard for your shopping addiction. The Redditor was definitely using melodramatic language, but I don't necessarily blame them.

Oh I do, there is a decent point that Kiwis made much better. It's just the way he went about it that was faggy. Typical of reddit.

This is a fair point and one I don't disagree with. Experiences can be wonderful gifts.

THANK YOU, that was written wonderfully and perfectly highlighted the reasons for being unhappy with receiving gifts. I wish more people (including some kiwis) understood that.

And then everyone clapped.

I wish mods/admins would do something and delete posts that are an obvious creative writing exercise. This shit didn't happen.

These people really love playing the self-righteousness olympics. The only way you should treat your vegan "friends" or family members is with cold indifference.

I do have an inkling that this person is making fun of them though. No way someone writes "I love internet arguments and being an asshole to people on da interwebz!!!" seriously. Then again, we're talking about reddit vegans here.
