Post Do you bash other things/series/cookies/etc?

I guess everyone would bash something. I noticed a hate thread on Twilight, and was thinking, "What if they did that to us?"

I dislike it, but I (try) not to bash it.
We are guilty of the same.

Now, see, if I hate on something, I do so with reasons behind my words so that way it doesn't seem like uncivilized unfiltered BS. So yes, I do bash other series. But I do so with PURPOSE!!

And I do so with reason to make sure that I don't seem hypocritical defending one thing while flaming another. I guess in that sense it's not flaming so much as disliking something strongly.

This~!

No one acts without reason. No one truly dislikes something just because they can. Twilight has alot of reasons to be hated (Not only the movie, but the book is poorly written as well), but I suppose to bring it up without it being called for would be rude. However I think people make these bash threads, because debating is pointless. Someone who stands strongly behind what they think will not change there minds, so they bash others knowing they can not hinder there preferences, and only state there own.

I like the way you think man, seriously.

This thread was originally about bashing things, not discussing how bad Twilight is.

Anyways, I usually bash a movie/series when I really hate it, and have enough facts to support my opinion. HOWEVER, I try not to do so in front of someone who likes what I'm bashing so that he/she doesn't get offended.

I do bash things, but only when I don't believe they were created for a reason other than the love of creating them or they're just way too popular and they're overshadowing things that should be getting more attention. I don't have anything against people who like these things (I know too many people who listen to recent money "hip hop" but I don't hate them for it and I don't whine about it to them), but I at least try to have good reasons (not "picachew is the devil") for disliking them. In a debate, you can't convince the other side that they're wrong, but you can demonstrate to them the reason for your thinking and to those who don't feel strongly either way. I think it's fair to bash something when at least you give valid reasons for doing so. Debating over these things is pointless, but expressing your opinion isn't.

And about the hate thread on Twilight, there may very well be a Pokémon hate thread on a Twilight forum.

I often bash people who bash the bash shell. (This really isn't a joke.)

I also bash people who bash Linux, who bash Windows Vista/7 but not XP, and people who bash Perl.

I bash Twilight but I have good reason to do so.
It ruined Vampires for me and the only reason it had any success is because they picked a good looking actor to play the man guy who appeals to stupid emos (both the males and females)

I don't like using the term "bash" because of its connotations, but I'm pretty critical of everything, including things I also happen to really like. Enough that I don't care to make a list.

But when I pick things apart, I often try to think of how it could be done better, which sometimes leads to interesting ideas.

No,I am generally an open minded person. Before I bash something I look into it and give it thorough analysis. However I lack the desire to really look into many things so I cannot say if i dislike it or not.

If people have different opinions than me, I don't bash them. If I don't like something, I don't bash it. I accept the fact I don't like it and move on.

I am a very open minded person (like mysteriousxatu). Even if other people's opinions differ from mine, I still accept them. The only time I would bash someone about their opinion is when they use BS arguments to "back up" their topic.

In some other topic, there's that one kid that says "Why do you play Pokemon? It's not like it'll give you a million dollars or something." BS reasons like that irritate me. If he used good reasons like...I don't know. I can't think of reasons to hate Pokemon. If people used good reasons to back up their opinions, I'd believe them more.

Well, I bash some things, but there's reason to it.For example, I just don't like Twighlight just to not like it, I just don't like it because I don't believe in vampires 'n stuff.

I only bash fake emotional music that is performed by people who don't have any musical talent but are just given a script and sing in a pretty digitally enhanced voice; you know, the popular stuff.

Yeah, I bash stuff. I'm a generic Sony-Hater, I bash all the stuff after the PS1 that they made. And I bash people who bash retro games. Just because they're old. IDJITS.

I only bash, like Idno said, "popular" music. They get so much credit, when they really don't deserve it. Justin-who-must-not-be-named(lol harry potter refrence) dosen't even right his own songs! Yet he gets more fangirls than anyone! That's pretty much all I have to say.

Haha, exactly. To be honest, I'm quite close-minded and bash everything I hate - Digimon (no reason besides it's too much like Pokemon and it sort of steals our thunder), Grand theft auto, and Twilight.

Too many girls like the actors. Grr.
Am I a hypocrite? Sort of. Now I don't bash the people who are into the fandom - that's mean - I just bash the franchise involved.

Edit: mind that I sigquoted? That was pretty funny ^^

Eh I don't bash anything really. Let people like what they like, its really none of my concern at all. What right do I have to look down upon something that I barely know about or may not be able to appreciate? Some people may not see the merit of Competitive Pokemon, so I'm doing my part by not saying anything bad about what they like.

I like to bash math. That's about it. Also, religion if it's one of those commenters on Youtube who start going crazy.

Ditto.

I bash things that are just down-right terrible. Like music on today's radio - they are just awful. How can anyone listen to stolen music? (coughrapcough)

Those kind of people just hide their insecurities by trying to claw out the non-existent insecurities in other people.

Like in Idno's example, someone calling a straight person gay.

I seriously do not like and bash people who like Square Enix. i can't ever like them. Them and Sony.
I like a FEW things they make, but I can't actually LIKE them. EVER.
But I would never randomly go on the internet and just search 'em up so I can post hate threads. That's stupid and wrong.

The only thing I really dislike is South Park, as I find the show to be more annoying than funny. I also dislike first person shooters, or any M rated game for that matter.

I used to think Power Rangers was really lame (with a few exceptions), now I think it's rather enjoyable.

I try to stay as far as possible from Twilight, I don't like it, but I don't really hate it, to me, I find the Twilight haters more annoying than the fans, I used to bash Twilight though, but that was a long time ago.

Same goes for Justin Beiber, as the hatrid for him is RIDICULOUS, seriously, a lot of people just hate him because someone told them to hate him, which is stupid. I mean really, what did Beiber do to make people hate him, NOTHING! That's what, they just hate him because some Youtube troll told everyone that they must hate Justin Beiber. I try to stay away from the Beiber hate because it's rather annoying, to the point where almost half of all Youtube videos have comments with people complaining about Justin Beiber, even the ones that have nothing to do with him have someone complaining about him, it gives me a headache. I'm not saying that I like Justin Beiber at all, I just think the hatrid for him is pointless.
