People who act like this (pretending to care when a friend is talking about something they are excited to share and then mocking them online to boot) are generally convinced everything they say is exceptional and everyone else needs to listen.
Sometimes it's just polite to listen even if you aren't interested in the subject. Why does Lemmy take memes (even about mundane topics) so seriously?
There’s a difference between kind of internally not being interested, which is totally fine, and going online to mock “friends” as you pretend to care. I’m willing to admit I am probably taking it a little too seriously, but I feel like the more we explain this meme the worse it sounds, and that should say something. The format also contributes to a pretty patronizing tone.
Fair enough. It's hard to anticipate how people will take it because the creator is blinded by whatever tone they originally envisioned. In this case I suppose it doesn't come across as light-hearted as I intended.
All true as well. Either way no big deal, have a good one!
