Over the past few weeks, I have picked up that there is increasing non-directional anger across GD that is spilling into some of the other sub-sections as well.
It's particularly evident when discussing anybody famous, especially females (see the recent threads on Leona Lewis, Megan Fox or Sheryl Cole, for example). Any famous singer or actress is absolutely slammed for their lack of personality, looks or style. I find it just rather sad that people are so negative about people they will never meet or towards those that aren't invasive to everyday life. Just because people are in the public eye I don't see why people feel the need to be so aggressive in their attitude.
The next type of post or thread is the 'people that do activity X', whether it is using a throw away phrase too much, or people who whistle on the bus, people get far too angry about things that are, ultimately, pretty irrelevant. It just seems that if a mouse moves a pebble in the back garden, the anger brigade come out to say how all mice should be drowned in a vat of acid. It's just bizarre and the same goes towards comments at individuals that have less than perfect grammar or post in a way that isn't deemed acceptable on the forums. People don't need to be immediately insulting, patronising or condescending in any of these scenarios.
Then we have the commentary on 'the greedy and disgusting public, those scummy low lives who are the filth of society, dragging it down with their evil ways' that crops up in various discussions about society and life in general. Well, not really... the nature of the public in this way is, again, greatly exaggerated and perplexing. Not everybody reads the sun, and not everybody who reads the sun is a bona fide idiot either. Not everybody who watched big brother had the brain the size of a peanut, live and let live, why let things in popular culture and the media get to you so much?
Has anybody else noticed this either? I just don't see the need for such unnecessary hostility towards anything and everything and I feel that those that do act in this manner must be very odd or insecure. It's just spoiling the fun and making this place a big 'hate pit' in my opinion. Just chill out and be less angry, 'fuh Christ's sake
What do you think?
Oh, and I foresee the predictable hostility towards this post in the brain dead fashion of 'mock the OP regardless' that has blighted GD over the last year, but it would be nice to have some genuine replies as well.
