I would need more specifics. Being excited about some things that are legitimately morally or ethically condemnable and in that case I wont pull punches in calling them stupid for their excitement.

If its just something I am cynical about, I earnestly think is stupid, or something I just don't care about. I'll usually not comment unless prodded or asked. In which case hey you asked for my opinion I'm not going to lie to you.

You can like nu-trek all you want, but if my critique of it makes you feel dumb that's not my fault.

[–] CrowAirbrush@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I have yet to meet the first person that doesn't shoot me down when i share something i'm excited about.

Probably just that: "Dutch directness" i keep hearing about, which seems like an excuse for being an asshole in real life scenario's.

Part of it is age. I know everyone has had bullying issues growing. I did but I'm also aware enough to know that I was a bully too at times. Probably not physically but probably intellectually bullying my schoolmates and insulting people. A lot of that is internal insecurity and bullying I faced. A lot of the times we do mean things and don't know why. If you've got kids, you've seen this a lot of times. Ignoring all of this and doing what you want is an important part of growing up. I'd like to think that I more often than not was pushing my friends towards their dreams and at times facing reality. However, I know sometimes I've definitely teased someone about their dream. I hope that they were strong enough to ignore my stupidity.

I shame anyone over 14 that still plays roblox. Younger than that, I try to nudge them into better games

What if they are excited about the dumbest things like labubus? Or AI image generation? It's just not that black and white. Labubus are stupid and you are stupid for liking them.

[–] ThunderComplex@lemmy.today -4 points 1 month ago

Obviously if you like labubus all hope is lost for you, and exceptions like these are totally ok. In my headcanon this post refers more to people who’d make fun of you for liking trains or sumin.

i’m glad you’re excited about this screenshot, but there are many worse types of people….
i think the worst types of people are racist genocidal serial killer pedophilic sadists who complain about people not putting their shopping carts back….

I imagine the woman in the profile picture posted this shortly after introducing her new 50 year old boyfriend to her parents.

[–] StarvingMartist@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Now I think there's no problem in making you feel stupid for a dumbass comment, even if you were excited about it

[–] confusedbytheBasics@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Huh? I think you replied in the wrong thread.

What can I say. Your attempts at communication are too advanced for me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
