  • people who are vocal about their distaste for certain fruits and vegetables (unless their dislike is ED- or allergy-related of course), especially when they are objectively good like tomatoes and olives. if you can tolerate mcdonald's you should be able to tolerate actual foods as well
  • victim blaming/shaming
  • political cowardice. you know what i mean
  • people who secretly enjoy lowbrow entertainment but openly shun it because they're afraid enjoying trashy shit makes them look bad
  • people who openly enjoy lowbrow entertainment but pretend it's "actually really deep." you don't need to give excuses as to why you enjoy something, just enjoy it and don't feel guilty about it
  • lowbrow entertainment when it's actually harmful, ie racist, sexist, exploitative etc. it's ok to enjoy the air buddies movies. it's not ok to enjoy, say, minstrel shows
  • non-lowbrow entertainment that is harmful and repulsive nonetheless. you can tell me birth of a nation had revolutionary cinematography for its time all you want, it's still fucking KKK propaganda you absolute dunce. i hate this shit more than toxic lowbrow entertainment since the intellectual veneer of highbrow racist bullshit gives people a "good excuse" to find horrible things enjoyable and/or agreeable
  • insufficient amounts of garlic in foods that require garlic. don't listen to the fucking recipe when it says 1 clove is sufficient it's lying to you
  • prudishness (not to be confused with "not sexually harassing people", don't be afraid to wave your dick in the wind but make sure those around you consent to your dick-in-the-wind-waving)
  • islamophobes who think they got a get out of jail free card because they also dislike other religions (*cough*samharrisandhisfollowing*cough*)
  • islamophobes and other types of bigots in general tbh
  • especially TERFs
  • fuck TERFs
  • the term TERF because TERF isn't even the appropriate word for these people because i struggle to imagine how they are "radical feminists" but alas
  • people who shout "believe victims of sexual assault" until the person accused of sexual assault is somebody they know personally (*cough*lenadunham*cough*)
  • people whose politics are shaped almost entirely by south park
  • south park
  • intellectual property laws (they contradict capitalism's logic yet they are forced to exist in order to prevent capitalism from collapsing (just let it collapse folks))
  • when people think capitalism can be tweaked in order to make it good and sustainable (you call it crony capitalism, i call it capitalism)
  • morrissey
  • people who think minorities or minority rights groups (including vegans even though animals aren't minorities in the same way groups of people are) are "too vocal" or "too in-your-face" because usually it's the majority that's too damn loud and minorities are counteracting that by demanding the status quo ought to change (basically what dice referred to but more broadly applied)
  • facebook
  • weed culture
  • "pop country" or "bro country" or whatever they call it
  • tankies
  • the ramones
  • people who think it's fine that poor people starve or die from curable diseases because "helping those who don't have to work for it promotes laziness"
  • if that's you, fuck you, never talk to me. i want to make that especially clear
  • pretty much the entire entertainment industry
  • the mods!!!!

  • Zoos and Circuses or any other form of contained animal entertainment.
  • animal research in general, you really don't need to test your makeup kits on rabbits or any form of vaccine on monkeys its absolutely inhumane and gross there are many viable alternatives without resorting to burning / shocking / poisoning the animal
  • meat and dairy farms, im not fully vegan but dairy and most meats I absolutely refuse to ingest as it makes me sick and throw up everytime after I do knowing what goes on in those farms
  • echoing RA's sentiments on fruits and vegetables; people that complain about "healthy foods" tasting bad but "unhealthy foods" tasting good. No you're just conditioned to eat saturated fats from McDonalds pick up the carrot stick
  • The Rolling Stones
  • Queen
  • The Eagles
  • Those 3 bands just suck and are the epitome of dad music / overplayed without the quality. There are so many other great guitarists that are better than fucking keith richards or glenn frey
  • radio music in general, i believe since the late 70s most radio music has been made in studios with the sole intention of being as "marketable" as possible, which defeats the entire purpose of music as art in the first place (like the incredibly shallow and superficial hotel california that doesn't mean dicks and henley just remarks its "intentionally vague and to tell the meaning behind it defeats the purpose of the poetry"
  • superficial judginess, not like this list but judginess for superficial things like looking down on someone because they have blue hair or a face piercing or some other dumb thing
  • People who only ever complain and vent. Its cool to vent ever now and again, but christ if your only topics of conversation involve complaining or gossiping about work or school or whatever then please don't include me. life is happy and i don't need those negative vibes
  • "traditionalists" that is, "why take statue down it represents history"
  • The people who say "i dont hate [x minority] i hate everyone equally!!" as if thats in any way better no its just a poor taste in jokes at best
  • people who are bigots in general
  • People who glorify anxiety / depression / some other mental disorder
  • family restaurants like applebees or chilis its just microwaved food and watered down beer for exorbitant prices id much rather just cook for myself and actually have a healthy meal i enjoy
  • people who dismiss entire genres of music without ever really exploring the genre ("i hate most hip-hop / rap" like no you've probably only ever heard trap like migos and wave off an entire culture of music because of it)
  • unless its that radio country like Sam Hunt / Blake Shelton / Luke Bryan etc after fucking 15 years of listening to and analyzing radio country (thats literally all my mom would play) i have concluded that the genre is the epitome of america's capitalistic greed capitalizing on americans need to be patriotic and "southern pride" except the genre has never evolved in close to 15-20 years and the songs sound the exact same with the same country twang in ever song talking about the same material, there is almost zero artistic expression involved with making most country songs and its just a mass produced phenom
  • the ideas behind capitalism and how it forces people into "wage slaves" as if toiling away for 50 odd years in order to possibly retire without social security or functioning health care is somehow prideful and gives people senses of accomplishment
  • in function the same people who wave away attempts at de-legitimizing capitalism as "capitalism at its root is fine its just some people can abuse it" (crony capitalism) are the same people who are actively bigoted towards socialism / communism and cite Stalin / Hitler as why those two policies can never ever work without realizing the irony of their thinking
  • fake patriotism ie turning a blind eye to this country's problems as to address them means addressing that America isn't a 100% perfect pure utopian society and that contradicts their narrative that America is the greatest nation to ever walk this earth
  • People who wave away injustices in the history like slavery in America or eradication of Native Americans because "that was the social standard at the time"
  • Most television shows, things like the Big Bang Theory in particular. Its shallow humor that only succeeds because it plays on a specific culture and conditions people to laugh and think things are funny with laugh tracks
  • canned laughter in general i dont need a laugh track to tell me when something is funny thank you very much

Had to come back to name something that I REALLY despise

The term "Normie"

It's so unbelievably pathetic that people are taking pride in their internet memes and shit to the point of claiming superiority over people with more mainstream tastes. I'm so glad you treasured your individualistic and unique Pepe the Frog enough to turn him into a hate symbol- lest the unwashed masses find the joke relatable or funny and perhaps even make their own memes, good heavens!

Actually taking pride in your entertainment choice in general is stupid and elitism in general pisses me off. Why would you care enough about your idea of fun to go out of your way to trash someone else's idea of fun? Stupid

Those are 2 different concepts. Why are you mashing them together like they're the same thing?

Also, contrary to the popular belief, entertainment elitism is good. There are people who know more about certain things than most people. That is a fact. When those people are trying to educate you, shut up and listen.

To be fair, a lot of the time when people might ostensibly be educating others on the merits of a specific piece of media or whatever, they're actually seeking opportunities to feel smugly superior. I'd say actual education on these things often doesn't occur unless the individual is aware of their own ignorance and is open to learning. Also I feel like this is a bit of a tangent but whatever.

While I'm here, fuck Overwatch. It's really fucking fun when everything goes right and you're on a good team, but that's like 1/5 matches, the others are pure cancer where no-one talks, except occasionally to bitch about each other, everyone wanders off to do their own thing and you feel like you have to carry despite it being impossible. You can do everything right, both individually and from a team perspective and still get nowhere. The worst part is that those scatterings of good games are enjoyable enough that it becomes really bloody addictive despite being overall a shitfest.

edit: also fuck right wing politics, socially it's a disaster that opposes all attempts to improve society while economically it's basically all about fucking over everyone except the rich as hard as possible

Exactly. In most cases of "elitism," that person is the actual problem, not the perceived elitist.
 
Haha woops that's totally not the point I meant to make, though reviewing that post makes me wonder where the hell I actually was going with it. Often elitism manifests in forms that cannot be construed as educational is something I feel like I ought to mention.

My point wrt to elitism is that people don't like having their level of knowledge challenged. Then they scream elitism when it happens. At least that's the case when it comes to metal music, which is where I've mostly encountered these accusations.
 
-These internet memes of lolis or whatever *ironic* anime pedophilia is still pedophilia
-Fox (by extension Rupert Murdoch)
-Anybody that litters
-People that act like they know what they're talking about when they clearly don't
-Grammar nazis
-Gender studies (and to a lesser extent sociology)
-4chan
-Jun Maeda (clannad is isn't even the most retarded thing he's done Martin )
-The Liberal party (Australia)
-Orthodox Jews
-Pro lifers
-Daylight saving time
-All those murder mystery shows that are the same 4 or so plots recycled in an infinite amount of serieses all 100 episodes long
-People from English speaking nations that go abroad and insist that others speak English
-My lack of ability to do anything for more than an hour without getting distracted
-All those online ancestry tests
-Language teachers that never learnt a second language, don't teach what you have not experienced learning
-How all those Asian countries that hire any retard with a whitish skin tone for teaching English and then wonder why their kids can't speak it
-Language teachers in general, the chance of getting a good one is fucking minimal
-How most schools teach languages
-All the jargon and vocabulary in biology
-School
-Gnocchi, probably the only really popular food I don't like
-Any messaging app that displays a little (read) after you see a message like fuck you that obligates me to reply
 
it's not something i'd be proud of at all though.

also i generally try not to hate people themselves. in those two cases (yeah even with people who are proud of hating anyone), i'd say i hate what the person stands for more than the person themselves, but it's just easier to say "people that ..." on a lighthearted smogon post.

i don't hate people who are fat. i hate when people are proud of being fat. you shouldn't be proud of being unhealthy, and people shouldn't be encouraging unhealthy behavior. being a little overweight is nothing, but when you are significantly overweight (like obese), that's clearly not a good thing.

why should i be tolerant towards a behavior that encourages people to be extremely unhealthy?

when i referred to "people proud of hating anyone", i was thinking about people who are openly racist, homophobic, transphobic, etc.. as in... people who openly hate someone else for something that person cannot control. i wasn't even saying i hate fat people (that's clearly a hilariously unreasonable thing to say); i was saying i "hate" people who are proud of being fat, as i described above.
 
because you're misunderstanding and also moralizing health. both of these are incredibly problematic and marginalize fat people.

so often we get very entangled in conversations about the “obesity epidemic”, how america has a ”war on obesity”, and ultimately, how we implicitly assume that fat bodies are abject and unhealthy. i reject this notion. we should instead be inclusive of all bodies when we discuss health, and not view it in such a myopic way.

one of the most common methodologies of discussing bodies is through the lens of bmi. we hear the term thrown around a lot, and it’s especially prevalent in spaces of fitness and wellness, but it is entrenched with quite a few flaws that really undermine its legitimacy. a study, led by janet tomimaya, a ucla professor, analyzed the link between bmi and cardiometabolic health using data from the most recent national health & nutrition survey survey. she concluded their study confirms how flawed bmi is as an indicator of health and concludes that there are 54 million Americans whose bmi classes them as overweight and obese are in perfect health according to cardiometabolic measures, while 21 million whose bmi puts them in the normal category are unhealthy. also for the record bmi was created by a belgian STATISTICIAN who only used white male bodies at his disposal. it's been found to be rooted in racism and sexism and there have been many studies done abt how cultural and biological differences make up what a 'healthy' body is, and racialized/gendered bodies do not fit this very flawed metric (see: reuters)

"Both dieting and weight cycling – that is, the process of going on a diet, losing weight, regaining the weight (and sometimes more), then going on another diet, losing weight, regaining the weight, and on and on and on – increase inflammation in the body within organs, muscles, etc. And inflammation itself is actually a major risk factor for many diseases that are typically blamed on “obesity,” like diabetes and heart disease And who do you think is more likely to have lived a life of constant dieting and weight cycling, especially in the climate of today’s “War on Obesity” world? People of size."

a metadata study conducted by the endocrine revealed that 74% of dieters regain their lost weight within five years. in a culture that promotes dieting, this is a very alarming statistic that complicates the relationship between fatness and disease. this underscores the confounding variable of weight cycling that very much so harms fat people.

additionally: "There’s a growing body of evidence that suggests we might want to reevaluate the way we measure an individual’s health — a lower weight doesn’t necessarily equate to better overall health According to a new study of over 100,000 adults in Denmark, researchers from the Copenhagen University Hospital have found that those with an “overweight” body mass index (BMI) were more likely to live longer than those in all of the other BMI categories — “normal,” “underweight,” and “obese.” Through nearly four decades of analysis, from 1976 to 2013, the BMI associated with the lowest risk of death actually shifted from the “normal” weight category to the “overweight” category."

i ask that we question the notion of how we view “health” in the first place. physical health is not the only health at risk when we police bodies. anytime someone is made fun of, policed, ridiculed, or embarrassed, their mental health actually declines, backed up by myriad research by the american center for pediatrics, harvard, and others. when you denigrate a group because of their social condition, that is called bullying folks. there’s research out there to back up the fact that bullying is never a helpful tool. if glorifying obesity is defined as reshaping the landscape of how we critically assess health and being accepting of others, then so be it.

fat aversion is rooted in ableism. ppl may have mental illness, chronic illness, eating disordered, struggling from abuse. many may not be able bodied and that's not anyone's fault. but your judgments abt fat people reify the following.

fat people face social marginalization in areas of: careers, banking, education, adoption, parenting, healthcare, education, fertility treatment, and other areas.

~~~~
"Fat people — especially very fat people, like me — are frequently met with screwed up faces insisting on health and concern. Often, we defend ourselves by insisting that concerns about our health are wrongheaded, rooted in faulty and broad assumptions. We rattle off our test results and hospital records, citing proudly that we’ve never had a heart attack, hypertension, diabetes. We proudly recite our gym schedules and the contents of our refrigerators.

Many fat people live free from the complications popularly associated with their bodies. Many fat people don’t have diabetes, just like many fat people do have loving partners, despite common depictions of us. Although we are not thin, we proudly report, we are happy and we are healthy.

We insist on our goodness by relying on our health. But what we mean is that we are tired of automatically being seen as sick. We are exhausted from the work of carrying bodies that can only be seen as doomed. We are tired of being heralded as dead men walking, undead specters from someone else’s morality tale.

Those defensive assertions about our health aren’t wrong, but they don’t reflect every fat person’s reality. Some of us aren’t healthy or able-bodied. Some of us struggle with chronic illness, mental health issues, eating disorders, disabilities, abuse. Some of us have hypertension, diabetes, heart disease. For those fat people, happy and healthy is an alienating aspiration, and an unreliable narrator of our bodies.
"
~~~

the fact of the matter is: we shouldn't judge other peoples' bodies. personally, i've had an ED for many many years and have been severely anorexic at many points in my life because i was taught to hate fatness. now i'm a skinny bitch that still hates his body!! body dysmorphia manifests because of the culture we live in, one that disregards fat peoples and deems them abject + inferior. if you believe in body autonomy, humanity, etc, perhaps you would support fat people too! they, in fact, are capable stewards of their bodies too, just as much as anyone else. and if someone isn't [lol!! who's the arbiter??] there is an equally skinny person who is too, and it doesn't matter. but what does matter is that your judgment plays into material issues that DO affect fat people.

we could also talk about the thin ideal that plays in media-- how that glorifies eds, forces ppl into thinking that we have to fit a certain body type, and promotes eating disorders. and we normalize harmful eating habits i.e. diets and restriction that harm thin people too!!! but that's an entirely different post.

also feel free to look up how corporations that sell diet products are the ones that directly/solely fund obesity studies (medical industrial complex!!) and how health is socially constructed e.g. social determinants of health affect ~75% of it, and there is just a shitton more to be talked about, but here's a start.

people take pride in marginalized identities because it's a way to subvert the oppressive, hegemonic powers that isolate them. it creates a sense of community and acts as a way of resistance. who knew?

Circumcision

Okay, we have the thing you already knew out of the way. Moving on.

-I really don't like it when people comment on my Facebook posts with things like "I don't get it," when they can just google it.
-I also hate it when people say "Google it," even though we've all done it. It's a really disrespectful way to get out of explaining something to someone and/or get out of providing evidence.
-Anyone who responds to mental health issues with "Get over it" / "Move on" etc. is a dick and a half. Those things help anyone with any mental health issue.
-I really hate this debate regarding obesity. Just, like, maybe exercise and don't eat like a complete slob, and also don't shame people who are fat. You can do both of those things, believe it or not.
-I despise this recent trend of celebrities shaming cynicism. These fuckers are too well-off to understand the factors that drive people to become cynics in the first place. They can fuck right on off.

being fat is a choice, i know because i am fat. its all down to willpower, its not ableism when youre genuinely concerned for someones health. i have faced a myriad of health problems due to my weight, and so has most of my family. your post is dangerous dice if thats your real thoughts on this issue.
 
RODAN there is a shitton of nuance in my post that i provide from my own past experience and others’. universalizing ur own experiences is also v disingenuous and disregards the metadata and also marginalization ppl face. regardless of your health, ppl shouldn’t be moralized by their bodies and should be allowed to do as they please. i hope u find a path to health and happiness ♥
