I can be baited.
I realized this tonight as I was browsing a forum I frequent that is dedicated to "literature". Usually full of sardonic and pointless posts, I saw a thread about one of my favourite authors, Haruki Murakami. Expecting loads of comments that would validate my already grim feelings about humanity, I was somewhat surprised to see some praise for his work. Of course, I had forgotten that hipsters like him (which is easy to do, as there are none in this county!). While weighing the reviews, I continued to read the thread and found valid criticisms overshadowed by idiotic remarks. A few people were saying that they disliked him because of his fans, which I've always thought to be rather juvenile. But instead of absorbing and forgetting like I often do, I flipped out and called everyone fat and told them to stop using dumb macros and memes.
Now I'm trying to figure out the other methods of getting me irate:
-Insult Kundera
-Insult the Czech Republic
-Call Classical music garbage
-Insult Demi Lovato, even though all of the negative things that can be said about her I agree with
-Have dumb preferences when it comes to choosing a mate, such as height, sexual experience, income, etc.
-Believe that someone's location is indicative of their character
-Not adding -ly to adverbs that need them
-Embrace a fault so much that you romanticize it and become self-aggrandizing about it (I'm so nerdy, ugh! I'm insane!)
-Call someone clever when they use sarcasm
One day, I'll be able to ignore all of these. Maybe when I'm 23?
Here's to hoping!
Whenever someone says something or gives their opinion, before even considering it as valid I try to look at who they are. Usually it's some twice divorced balding loser who tells you about how to get women, or somebody with a broken down car teaching you about car maintenance.
