I'm pretty sure at this point I've made several people wish death on me, or at least significant misfortune.

Being a leftist who believes in the civic duty to reduce harm through voting for less right leaning politicians does not make you popular with very many people at all.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Probably not, but that won't stop my anxiety from making me think everyone hates me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

I don't go to football games because they talk about me in the huddle.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago (3 children)

People especially hate me online.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

To be completely honest I sought out a Lemmy frontend specifically because I wanted to tag you lol

I just started to, Weskie Wanksie.

Wanksie

That's the pseudonym I use when I do graffiti.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Why? You haven't given me reason to. You seem like a nice person!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago
[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No, but I'm not everyone's cup of tea, either.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Hey, I recognize you! I'll be honest, it's mainly because of the font though.

*shrugs

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Well, good, that's what the font's for. I took that cue from Kolanaki within my first week on lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

This implies people are hating you irl. Bro you ok?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I’m fine, thank you.

Had blocked the user attacking me yesterday.

The least I could do about people in general.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Online it depends entirely on what I'm talking about whether I'm loathed or not

I don't usually get hate offline though, because I don't talk or leave my house

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

I honestly dont know or care.

I'm just some guy, I do what makes me happy, I do my best to be considerate but if my happy fucks up your day I dont care. If that isnt good enough for you, I still dont care.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

I hope I'm well liked, I generally try to make good comments and be helpful/positive if I can manage it. That being said, I also know I will not get along with everyone and that's ok too. You can't please everyone, it's just human nature that some people won't get along.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I don't think that they hate me online, so much as they often misunderstand me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I get that…people misunderstand me all the time.

At least I think I understand you better now.

peace sign

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I don't think anyone who knows me hates me. I'm pretty easy to get along with.

Online...

That largely depends on who you talk to. Lots of people dislike my opinions.

Christofascists, white supremacists, white nationalists, racists, anti-vaxers, neo-Nazis and Nazis, anti-choicers, anti-maskers, Covid deniers, vegan extremists, incels and incucks, Puritans, the US Taliban, magats and the anti-reality crowd, the convoyists, the Save-The-Children crowd and Queen Dildo and her ragtag band of morons, PETA, the rabid pro-gun I'm-terrified-of-everything-so-I-need-a-grenade-launcher-to-buy-donuts crowd, and others seem to dislike the things I say. Of course tankies, trans extremists, the anti-gun crowd, and others who hate the first group also dislike some of the things I say. Just about everyone who lives in an echo bunker dislikes the reality I speak.

I say things that many people dislike but they tend to be the controlling-what-other-people-do mob and people who live in evil bunkers but generally I think I'm a good person and the people around me seem to think so too no matter where they lie on the political, religious, or social spectrum.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Who is Queen Dildo, please?

Peterborough mayor Diane Therrien became embroiled in a minor controversy after stating "fuck off, you fuckwads" on social media in reaction to the group's actions.

I think that Ms. Therrien effectively summed it up.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Thanks. Her wiki is... Interesting.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Probably. I don't care.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

I get a lot more hate online than I do offline. Im also way more political online, so I guess thats part of it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I think people hate me more online than here, especially on Lemmy compared to Reddit. However, I find the people here who hate me are looking to hate in general.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Really? Huh…I left Reddit because the users there were more toxic. Sorry to hear that.

I don’t hate you, though, at least.

Thank you. I don't hate you either.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

They hate me online more than irl. And I’m under the impression I’m generally well regarded online

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

I hate you. (not really, but i can't help being contrary)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Ha! I knew you love me !

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago
[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Online hate is interactive entertainment, its an incredibly enjoyable videogame.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Yes. Fuck them, though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Implying I'm hated in real life? I try my best to be reasonably polite and mind my own business. I guess that is reason enough for some.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

bro its everywhere I go

People hate me more irl but there's assholes everywhere. It's just that "outside" is where the professional assholes go once they turn pro, so there's always bigger assholes irl. The wannabe assholes have to practice their skills online first before they can make it in the big league.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 months ago

People hate me everywhere :( Odd thing about that though, one consistent theme in my life is it's always the commoners who hate me while the authority figures don't mind me. With only one exception, the few times authority figures didn't like me, they were commoner fill-ins. As for why they hate me, it has been traced to both marginalization and gossip.
