I'm pretty sure at this point I've made several people wish death on me, or at least significant misfortune.

Being a leftist who believes in the civic duty to reduce harm through voting for less right leaning politicians does not make you popular with very many people at all.

[–] shadowedcross@sh.itjust.works 18 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Probably not, but that won't stop my anxiety from making me think everyone hates me.

[–] dogsnest@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

I don't go to football games because they talk about me in the huddle.

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 11 months ago (4 children)

People especially hate me online.

[–] WeevilFriend@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

To be completely honest I sought out a Lemmy frontend specifically because I wanted to tag you lol

I just started to, Weskie Wanksie.

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 11 months ago

Wanksie

That's the pseudonym I use when I do graffiti.

[–] JetpackJackson@feddit.de 2 points 11 months ago

Why? You haven't given me reason to. You seem like a nice person!

[–] Alice@hilariouschaos.com 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Probably because I'm beautiful.

[–] Alice@hilariouschaos.com 1 points 11 months ago

I agree, you're gorgeous

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 14 points 11 months ago (2 children)

No, but I'm not everyone's cup of tea, either.

[–] technomad@slrpnk.net 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Hey, I recognize you! I'll be honest, it's mainly because of the font though.

*shrugs

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 7 points 11 months ago

Well, good, that's what the font's for. I took that cue from Kolanaki within my first week on lemmy.

[–] Alice@hilariouschaos.com 0 points 11 months ago

But nobody is either

[–] Aquila@sh.itjust.works 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

This implies people are hating you irl. Bro you ok?

[–] VanHalbgott@lemmus.org 2 points 11 months ago

I’m fine, thank you.

Had blocked the user attacking me yesterday.

The least I could do about people in general.

[–] toomanypancakes@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Online it depends entirely on what I'm talking about whether I'm loathed or not

I don't usually get hate offline though, because I don't talk or leave my house

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

I honestly dont know or care.

I'm just some guy, I do what makes me happy, I do my best to be considerate but if my happy fucks up your day I dont care. If that isnt good enough for you, I still dont care.

[–] TheHotze@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I don't think that they hate me online, so much as they often misunderstand me.

[–] VanHalbgott@lemmus.org 3 points 11 months ago

I get that…people misunderstand me all the time.

At least I think I understand you better now.

peace sign

[–] technomad@slrpnk.net 6 points 11 months ago

I hope I'm well liked, I generally try to make good comments and be helpful/positive if I can manage it. That being said, I also know I will not get along with everyone and that's ok too. You can't please everyone, it's just human nature that some people won't get along.

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

I don't think anyone who knows me hates me. I'm pretty easy to get along with.

Online...

That largely depends on who you talk to. Lots of people dislike my opinions.

Christofascists, white supremacists, white nationalists, racists, anti-vaxers, neo-Nazis and Nazis, anti-choicers, anti-maskers, Covid deniers, vegan extremists, incels and incucks, Puritans, the US Taliban, magats and the anti-reality crowd, the convoyists, the Save-The-Children crowd and Queen Dildo and her ragtag band of morons, PETA, the rabid pro-gun I'm-terrified-of-everything-so-I-need-a-grenade-launcher-to-buy-donuts crowd, and others seem to dislike the things I say. Of course tankies, trans extremists, the anti-gun crowd, and others who hate the first group also dislike some of the things I say. Just about everyone who lives in an echo bunker dislikes the reality I speak.

I say things that many people dislike but they tend to be the controlling-what-other-people-do mob and people who live in evil bunkers but generally I think I'm a good person and the people around me seem to think so too no matter where they lie on the political, religious, or social spectrum.

[–] Aecosthedark@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Who is Queen Dildo, please?

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (2 children)
[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Peterborough mayor Diane Therrien became embroiled in a minor controversy after stating "fuck off, you fuckwads" on social media in reaction to the group's actions.

I think that Ms. Therrien effectively summed it up.

[–] Aecosthedark@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Thanks. Her wiki is... Interesting.

[–] DosDude@retrolemmy.com 5 points 11 months ago

Probably. I don't care.

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I think people hate me more online than here, especially on Lemmy compared to Reddit. However, I find the people here who hate me are looking to hate in general.

[–] VanHalbgott@lemmus.org 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Really? Huh…I left Reddit because the users there were more toxic. Sorry to hear that.

I don’t hate you, though, at least.

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 2 points 11 months ago

Thank you. I don't hate you either.

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

Online hate is interactive entertainment, its an incredibly enjoyable videogame.

[–] Kaboom@reddthat.com 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I get a lot more hate online than I do offline. Im also way more political online, so I guess thats part of it.

[–] Alice@hilariouschaos.com 2 points 10 months ago

I think you're pretty chill though. You don't ever seem rude from what I've seen Mr. Kaboom

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

They hate me online more than irl. And I’m under the impression I’m generally well regarded online

[–] Hikermick@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] toiletobserver@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

I hate you. (not really, but i can't help being contrary)

[–] Hikermick@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Ha! I knew you love me !

[–] Atin@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Yes. Fuck them, though.

[–] shit_of_ass@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

bro its everywhere I go

[–] zxqwas@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Implying I'm hated in real life? I try my best to be reasonably polite and mind my own business. I guess that is reason enough for some.

[–] PenisWenisGenius@lemmynsfw.com 0 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

People hate me more irl but there's assholes everywhere. It's just that "outside" is where the professional assholes go once they turn pro, so there's always bigger assholes irl. The wannabe assholes have to practice their skills online first before they can make it in the big league.

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee -1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

People hate me everywhere :( Odd thing about that though, one consistent theme in my life is it's always the commoners who hate me while the authority figures don't mind me. With only one exception, the few times authority figures didn't like me, they were commoner fill-ins. As for why they hate me, it has been traced to both marginalization and gossip.

[–] Alice@hilariouschaos.com 1 points 10 months ago

Maybe they're jealous you're taking seriously and seen as a equal
