Every been insulted for NOT liking something?

[dancinginfernal]

For hating most Youtube Vloggers.

 

[Amethyst Wind]

Lessee now; Halo, blondes, football (the one played with the foot), rugby, drinking heavily/frequently, chavery and not having a kid at 19.

I've been insulted for not liking all of these things.

 

[Scarim Coral]

I was ridicule for not liking punk and rock by my ex friends from high school (this was back when Slipknot, The Stroke, White Stripe etc were born). I was more into dance (House) music back then but my friend give me no peace just because I like it. I even started to like one of two punk songs they always try to convert me to their music.

There will always be someone that can't understand why someone else doesn't like things they like. I can't recall any examples so meh.

But I've insulted someone for not liking someone but only because they were ignorant, not presenting any good reasons as to why they don't like it. Keeping an open-mind is all I ask =P

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.

That movie makes me feel terrible just watching it!

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.

Y'know it's not your fault for not knowing the greatest house artist alive! Daft Punk. Sure they're popular but not that mainstream. Hell it's rare for me to see them on T.V. and when I do I explode with joy! That's the beauty of finding new artists and bands, you feel good when you find a new one!

I always get ridiculed by my Korean friends for not knowing shit about Korea >_>, even worse is that I probably shouldn't say I don't like K-Pop that much...

 

[Erja_Perttu]

A lot of people apparently take issue with my disdain for Toy Story 3 and Up.

You must have a heart of stone. May I study you for science?

OT: I got called a few choice names when I turned off Prodigy on New Years Eve at a friends. I was sick of listening to Firestarter, but apparently they weren't. Sheesh.

 

[ethan22122]

I live in Autralia and it is an extremely sports oriented culture over here. I hate foote ball, cricket etc. so yes, I have been insulted for not liking something

 

[maugatar]

I've been called gay for not liking football (proper football not the American Version),
My responce was thus:

"I don't like a sport where 22 slim young men run around in short trousers for 90 minutes and then traditionally jump in a hot soapy bath together, that makes me gay??"

The reaction to this was explosive

and my spelling sucks

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.

All a matter of personal taste, I suppose, but here's a tip: Human After All is the low point of their career, and the other albums at least have the decency to have songs that have multiple parts, layers, whatever you want to call them. But if you still don't like them, that's fine, everyone's different and I won't hold it against you.

OT: I've been derided on occasion for not leaping onto the CoD bandwagon, <passive-aggession> instead preferring games that bring new ideas and innovation forth and will be worth remembering a few years on </passive-aggession>.

 

[niege]

Every day i get "bullied" because i hate Cod:Black Ops
and almost slaughter because i hate everything main stream
A conversation i had with a chick from my school.
"you hate everything normal, what next you are going to school without clothes?"
"......Thanks for the idea, well i got to go i have a severd head in a pot boiling up and i'd hate to eat overboiled human flesh again.....bye bye"
and i hope that anybody here gets my twisted humor

 

[Aleate]

I have been insulted for not liking something, and it usually is here on The Escapist.

 

[Stryc9]

I dislike using Steam, what do you think?

I didn't like the idea of it either until I was forced to use it to buy a game I wanted. Now I don't mind so much...but that's my opinion.

OT: I had a friend who didn't talk to me for over week because I called Giants: Citizen Kabuto a piece of shit and refused to play it with him. This wasn't the first time we'd had this conversation either.

 

[DesiPrinceX09]

Try being the only one around you who doesnt get the fun thing in drinking yourself braindead every weekend...

Yes i have been insulted for not liking something...

You're never the only one good sir, I am right there with you.

OT:For not liking America that much, sports, Christmas, fast food, Rock music (especially 60's, 70's and 80's), marijuana, alcohol, Xbox, Wii, etc. The list is very long.

 

[Death_Korps_Kommissar]

snip.

Well I have only ever been subject to a select few of their songs. They do have some great songs but I think is just different strokes for different folks.

 

[V TheSystem V]

I've insulted people for not liking Pixar, Frasier, Muse, Portal, Half Life, Red Dead Redemption...a lot of stuff.

Have been insulted for not liking Hip Hop and R n'B, and also because someone thought I liked someone and it turned out I didn't. Just because I don't like one specific girl doesn't mean I am gay!

 

[Corven]

My dad called me a heretic for not liking AC/DC.

 

[Kiba The Wolf]

I was insulted for not liking the Beatles. Don't get me wrong, they were a good band and had some great songs, I am just not a huge fan but some people do not understand this.

also for not liking the Dark Knight(not a bad movie,I just don't think it is the greatest thing ever), Gears of War, and for not liking Michal Cera ( he is a terrible actor)

 

[Fridge]

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'm not a fan of football although I do enjoy playing it on occasion. I think that we in the UK go over the top on our celebrations but I do understand the want for it.

For me I get shouted at and insulted for not liking two movies, Rockie Horror and Deathproof. I've explained why rationally and all I get back is insults.

 

[KefkaCultist]

I've bee insulted for not liking Avatar and for my musical tastes specifically not liking the "uber-brutal-deathcore" that my friend listens to

 

[theSovietConnection]

There's a number of people on here, or at least who used to be on here, who'd essentially attack people for not liking Half-Life 2.

 

[Blue_vision]

I have however been insulted for not liking meat.

Oddly enough, I've actually never gotten this.

I've been insulted for not liking old music. Specifically, 60's and 70's stuff. Before that, I like it, after that I like it. But during that, there's very little music that I've found which I like.
