Every been insulted for NOT liking something?

[the_pleasure_is_mine]

I dislike using Steam, what do you think?

 

[CarpathianMuffin]

Not liking sports, mostly. And hating metalcore.
In both cases being told that I have no taste. And the LoZ games. Not that I hate the Zelda games, I just never got into them that much. Still, I guess anything less than total adoration is cause for scorn in peoples' books.

 

[Jack and Calumon]

Spend a few minutes on the internet with personal opinions and you'll get there.

I didn't like E.T.

Calumon: I don't like scary stuff. : (

I hate. hate! HATE! F***ING HHHHAAAAAAATTTTTEEEEEE! Ketchup. People don't seem to respect that, but its ok because I dont respect ketchup. Die, you insult to tomatoes!

 

[Ranooth]

I got flamed big time on these very forums for not liking the newest Rambo movie.

I hate. hate! HATE! F***ING HHHHAAAAAAATTTTTEEEEEE! Ketchup. !

WOOOO! Another hater of the vile red goo!

The weird thing is is that i like tomatoes but detest ketchup

I dislike its interface, but not the service itself. So my opinion of you goes unchanged.

I've been personally insulted for - get this - NOT thinking Inception is the best film of the year. I didn't even say it was bad, yet I was called "unintelligent" and "contrarian" for opining that it's only quite good.

 

[killamanhunter]

I don't like Halo, Gears of War or Uncharted

 

[Marter]

I got told I shouldn't watch movies because I don't have any taste in them, when I told someone I didn't like Napoleon Dynamite.

I laughed at that.

Knowing that smashing a wooden pencil into something metal at high velocity will break it.

 

[Wintermoot]

yes a Twitard said I should get a life after I said I hated twilight (it was on youtube so I got away without any injuries)

 

[Xojins]

I hate Will Farrell, so yes I've experienced that.

 

[Ponce Master-General]

I think you mean soccer.

FUCK! I would call you a right **** if your avatar wasn't so god damn cool. Well played old bean.

OT: I won't say I've been outright insulted for not liking something, but a dick from school said I don't know shit about music because I said that the Eurovision is a joke and that all the contestants have no musical talent whatsoever and wouldn't know music if it killed their dog.

I've been insulted for not wanting anything to do with current 3D technology (as in Tvs and paying £2 more for a cinema ticket) I grew up with Red + Blue 3D was around in the 90s and I got tired of that too. His point to me was that it makes the films more immersive, that it looks better with great potential. To me all it does is make backgrounds look blurry whilst using glasses that stop you seeing true colour.

It's a craze that I think too many people are hyping up.

TO THE POINT OF THE FORUM!
I've been insulted for liking some Tesco Value food over Tesco finest food, where I'm pretty damn sure that 60% of people under a blind tasting couldn't tell the difference anyway. Consumers are easily fooled by pretty lables and package art aren't they?

 

[Tartarga]

I once got called a twathammock for not liking twilight on Youtube. I thought it was funny so now I use that insult all the time.

 

[ExaltedK9]

I was just chewed out by many a 12 year old in the Pixar thread for saying that I thought Up was boring.

 

[Kae]

It was not for hating or disliking something but when everybody started talking about DJ Hero and more specifically Daft Punk I asked what is Daft Punk and a LOT of people started calling me a Retard, and the weirdest thing is it turns out my brother is always listening to they're music and I had not even heard they're name before, and before you ask I do live under a rock.

 

[Gildan Bladeborn]

A lot of people can easily claim to be insulted because they like a certain thing, but have you ever been horribly insulted by people because you DON'T like something?

I have, and it's a common one: football. Particularly the World Cup. I don't see the point of it really. The World Cup is just an excuse for countries to slag each other off and be free from racism accusations. I fail to see how 11 particular people from your country being better than 11 people from someone else's country is a cause for country-wide celebration. Call me crazy, but I just don't get it in the slightest.

And football fans are eager to 'correct me' when they hear I don't like football. Mostly their correction methods consist of shouting insults, but maybe they genuinely believe they're helping me to join in on the pathetic sports culture we've created for ourselves.

I would say that this sounds exactly like my own life and perspective on sports, except I'm from America where nobody cares about soccer (football), so I never catch any flack for being completely oblivious to the World Cup, as the general American position on that event can be encapsulated by the following phrase: Huh?

But otherwise I'd say we're in agreement on the inherently inconsequential and ultimately meaningless nature of sporting events - I don't expect complete strangers to care about the outcome of my family boardgames, so why the hell should I, or anyone else, be expected to care about the outcomes of games that complete strangers are playing?

 

[SalamanderJoe]

I often got insulted for saying to the bullies and idiotic chavs at secondary school that I hated them. Well it's their own fault for being such dicks and having such mockable faces.

Ugh Daft Punk, they did the new torn soundtrack amazingly but, like a lot of that style of music, they are just so repeditive and boring.

Insert joke about the "x amount of people are stupid" comments on YouTube.
