Not Cool -

Mac Sirloin · #31 10-06-2011, 04:52 PM

Nerd Culture, Gamer Culture, Internet Subculture, Internet Counterculture, Bacteria Culture, all uncool. Being an expert in Anime is not cool. Knowing a buttload about memes is not cool. Being a brony, a chantard or any other such nonsense is not cool. Furries are not cool. Atheists, Christians and Mexicans who stuff what they have to say down your throat are not cool. Simon Clair is nope Chuck Testa. Kim Kardashian is not cool. Wealth is not cool. Being a stoner is not cool. Trolling incessantly is not cool. TF2 is not cool.

Basically not being precisely as I am now makes you not cool, for now.

Radical atheists who don't realise that they're acting just like fundamentalist religionists.

People who fail to recognise tongue-in-cheek comments meant for the purposes of humour. And I'm sure Ridg3 agrees with me on that one.

I’m kind of in the same boat with this one. Like, just being/doing those things isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but the people who are/do them and make it part of their personality and rub it in people’s faces? Fuck ‘em.

Fucking this, man.

Irrationality in general.

A good example of thus would be when people act all superior and pretentious because you have a different opinion to the "norm". "Why do you like that genre of music?" or "Why don't you eat meat, it's normal."

Those guys who use aspergers as an excuse to be dicks.

Wings of Fire · #37 10-07-2011, 03:29 AM

I hate trendseekers, pretentious people and general hipsters.

Loathe them.

E'l Scrabino · #38 10-07-2011, 03:36 AM

People who act like they know what they're talking about when you bring a topic up are not cool. But I do like feeding them something false, waiting until they agree with it, then calling them out.

Crashpunk · #39 10-07-2011, 07:03 AM

The My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic series that for some fucking reason everyone is into.

I also find internet memes seriously uncool. The face memes especally.

Dynamithix · #40 10-07-2011, 07:13 AM

Hey crashpunk, do you like my new avatar?

STM · #41 10-07-2011, 08:08 AM

I heard a child a few years below me shouting DO A BARREL ROLL on the walk home from school. My intention was to kill him but I grit my teeth and bore it.

MeechMunchie · #42 10-07-2011, 08:13 AM

To be fair, Starfox has just come back.

Manco · #43 10-07-2011, 08:36 AM

I think everyone knows that 13 year-old who talks in internet lingo.

I think everyone hates that 13 year-old.

STM · #44 10-07-2011, 08:41 AM

I hate most thirteen year olds except my brother and a few of his friends.

I only know one person between the ages of 5 and 17 and he's fucking awesome.

Has anyone mentioned fake bisexuals?

Well, them.

Embarrassments to minority causes in general. I am looking at you Chris Rock.

Crashpunk · #48 10-07-2011, 01:33 PM

I hate how some teenage girls have to talk likesoveryfastyoucan'tunderstandwhattheyaresaying

I have a sister so I know what i'm talking about

Okay so Its not 'uncool' but I'm still confused with is this a hate thread or not.

This. Kind of. I have a freind that apparently thinks that since he's aspergers, like a lot of the geniuses of the past, he will be a genius himself.

Also, people who think taking a week of martial arts training makes them badass. I've taken Tae Kwon Do for three years now, and I still try not to brag about it.

moxco · #50 10-07-2011, 06:10 PM

Following Spandexpants here. People who have done a week of German lessons and set German as a language spoken on Facebook.

Double this. I ended up rethinking my position on atheism, not entirely based on these kinds of people, but they were a huge factor.

It's like I know you from somewhere.

Oh yeah, you're me.

Okay so things that chuck my nuggets:

Delusional, uneducated conservatives. Because I'm into politics, my cup runneth over with them's.

My anxiety being so bad and my constant panic attacks preventing me from sleeping until all hours of the morning.

People who equate all feminism to "feminazis," To this day, I have never met a feminazi.

People who ignore the budding white supremacist movement in America in favor of the one or two individuals involved in the so-called New Black Panthers. Being super-focused on a group that wouldn't even exist if one guy were to get hit by a truck, and ignoring a real, growing threat.

Another thing that's been getting on my nerves recently is how deeply our culture has made dehumanizing little people acceptable. Like, to the point which not only is it normal to be fine with dehumanizing them, but where little people/dwarfs feel like the only work available to them is dehumanizing work.

That's been bothering me at least since I first saw Austin Powers. Not too much activism for it, that I've found.

Go watch Game of Thrones, gape with awe at how absolutely amazing Peter Dinklage is and how all the fanbase loves him for being by far the best actor on the show.

Oddey · #53 10-08-2011, 03:14 AM

My list goes on and on, but the more I think about what I find uncool, the more I wonder if it isn't just me who is an overly intolerent bastard.

But one thing which I think I can be intolerent about is people who borrow money from everyone, then never pay any of them back. Then if you ask about it, they just say something like "No don't worry, I get paid tomorrow, then you can have it" or "Hey, I don't owe you money" or "Why are you so desperate for it?" Even more annoying however, is when said person is always loaded with cigarettes, and other expensive crap, that apparently eats up all their money, so they have none left to pay you back.

I happen to be in the same class as this person. I luckily have yet to loan her anything at all. Even so, I find her irritating in a lot of other ways, so she's on probably everyone else's nerves as well.

It's not even a legitimate disorder, either. I always make sure to mention this when dealing with their insane shit.

Yes it is.

Dixanadu · #56 10-08-2011, 03:58 AM

So people who are simply assholes are mentally ill?

That's pretty much what Aspergers is.

hedjeroo · #57 10-08-2011, 03:59 AM

People who blame something on me and hold it against me and don't actually tell me they're doing so until I talk to them about how sorry I am that their life sucks right now due to something that isn't actually my fault.

On the other hand, I hate that I assume everything is my fault and I did something wrong initially. And similarly, how I assume people don't want me around and it's because they're discussing how much I suck.

To put it plainly, hate is just not cool, and neither's paranoia. :/
(Unless, of course, the thing that you're hating is also not cool, like that one guy who moved in to a student house in my stead and is making my so-called friends' lives shitty...)

You are mixing up aspergers with self-diagnosed-aspergers.

One of these is a real form of autism. The other is generally attention seeking.

moxco · #59 10-08-2011, 06:13 AM

It is controversially a form of autism. And anyway it is Autism Spectrum Disorder for a reason; most people who self diagnose themselves with autism are usually over-reacting but are probably somewhere on that spectrum.

I'll do just that.

Good god, I hope you're just trolling.

No, dude, it's not. I have Asperger's. I was diagnosed in 1998. It's a mild case, but it's there. Now, there are times when I literally can't tell if what I've said was rude, but for the most part I can, so if I'm an asshole, I don't blame it on the disorder, I'm just being an asshole.

There are people who claim it's the disorder making them rude, and here's the pisser: sometimes it is. However, it's easy to spot the legitimate claims from the bullshitters, and I guarantee you that as much as you despise the bullshitters, people with AS dislike them even more, mainly because they make the ones who actually HAVE AS look false.

I attend a program for people with autism at the moment, and NONE of them are "faking it" to "get away with being an asshole." Do some research on the disorder before you make such astoundingly ignorant comments.
