Stuff you hate (aka: the new f. you thread)

Logging into Facebook and seeing this -

Ironic?

That's the defense, anyway.

Y'know, the whole "Get in the kitchen, woman" type of humor that's so popular at my college.

[Sarah]

Oh, I know exactly what you mean.  My point was simply that the so-called irony barely and incompletely masks the heartfelt sincerity (and wishful thinking) behind much of that talk.

And I've seen that whole thing extended to minorities, child abuse, etc. It's like people are just now realizing that they can say anything they want to, to anybody, and get away with it because of how over-the-top and ridiculous it is.

What makes it worse is when people try to pull that "I'm sayin' what everyone else just thinks!" bit, like they really believe (and are trying to convince their likeminded audience) that most people really are loathsome shitheads who only pretend to be respectful in their day to day lives.

Blatant name dropping followed by "is dead".

Oh man. Don't get me started.


I'm going to add the abuse of question marks and ellipses to that, especially in the context of an IM conversation.

I can't count the times I just ignored someone and walked away because their response to a question on IM was "..." followed by silence. Or "??"

[ChrisRawk]

Ending sentences with ",no?". Like "That was a good movie, no?".  It reads and sounds pretentious.

Weird I hadn't heard that one. What's the context?

I think it was a clever joke about all of the unfortunate celeb deaths in recent years.
