I’m a bit tired of the toxic positivity of newer generations who, the second someone complains about anything, feel this overwhelming need to tell you you’re ruining their hobby, or that they’re in the fandom to have fun and just want good vibes, and that you must be such a bitter person if you spend your time complaining.
Like, babes, complaining is a completely natural way to release stress and let off steam. Complaining and hating things is not only something that genuinely makes me feel good and comforts me, it’s also how I release built-up anger, reflect on things, and basically have fun. Because yes, hating things is fun. Being a hater is fun. Complaining about people is fun, ranting about what you don’t like is fun, dragging people you dislike is fun.
Just because your idea of fun is being some normie Mr. Wonderful rainbow-unicorn type who only knows how to say “yass queen” and interact through fake, surface-level positivity about generic things with zero substance doesn’t mean we all experience fun and entertainment the same way. Some of us find comfort in looking at people like you and openly saying you give us chronic depression with the amount of nonsense you spew per second, and that’s fine. Our dopamine is just as valid as yours, it’s just triggered differently.
So please, please, please, can all those under-20s —or over-20s who never got past adolescence— shut the fuck up and stop coming onto our posts with the same tired, cult-like positivity speech accusing us of “rage baiting”? It’s not rage baiting, idiot, it’s my way of expressing my disagreement with your mediocrity. If it bothers you, go join some hippie commune, but let the rest of us find our own ways to get endorphins however we can.
Stop being annoying. I don’t care if Disney Channel lobotomised you and you never got over it. Some of us belong to the cynic depressed generation, just let us live with our shit in peace.
