People who post content because it makes you angry : why do you help it spread? - eviltoast

Stuff like memes from people you think are wrong politically, cartoons you don’t find funny, etc etc. Why help the things you hate spread?

    Contrary to what you might think, those people probably believe in the thing they posted. Just because it makes you angry, doesn’t mean it has that effect on everyone else.

        They don’t want people to hate on them, they want people to laugh at them. Those subs are for calling out the stupidity of shit other people say-

            To chime in, there’s many things I think are stupid without hating them. But then again; I’m an adult and can differentiate between the two.

            For instance:

            Anime. I think it’s dumb. But I have no hate for it whatsoever. Hate is an emotion. I don’t reserve emotional states for things I think are dumb.
