I refer you to the above link- written by a straight white male nerd to white, male straight nerds.

He has beaten me.
I now must hold my head in shame.
No need to feel bad, it happens to the best of us!
This is why I still log on to the Escapist, little moments like these make it worth while.Baron von Blitztank said:GSP66 said:Wait he has trolled us all.Johanthemonster666 said:Baron von Blitztank said:

Well I try my best. Can't have everything be completely miserable now can we?Johanthemonster666 said:This is why I still log on to the Escapist, little moments like these make it worth while.Baron von Blitztank said:GSP66 said:Wait he has trolled us all.Johanthemonster666 said:Baron von Blitztank said:

Hahahahaaaa... oh geez. That was brilliant!Baron von Blitztank said:
I was like "WHAT?.... WHY???" Then I realized... you are King Troll (in a good way).
Louis Spence. Whenever I see him in anything, he takes the quality of that show down a notch. He?s just an overly flamboyant, in-your-face, attention-seeking prick.
Sarah Millican. I have literally no idea who would find her funny, other than single, ugly, middle-aged mothers with no lives who like to ***** about their ex-boyfriends over ice cream. She is the least funny comedian I?ve ever heard.
Old people that bang on about how it was ?better back in my day?. No, fuck off, move with the times; the 50s were shit and oppressive, and you know it.
Conscious racists, sexists, homophobes, and transphobes. They don?t seem to have a grain of empathy in their body.
Fundamentalist Christians and pro-lifers.

In their defense we'll probably sound like that -eventually- about CERTAIN issues that make us look at the younger generation like they're insane.Relish in Chaos said:
I accept this as a sort of test that every generation goes through: we bond with our elders on certain things, and gleefully enjoy/believe things that make them shake their canes at us from the porch.
I figured that was the case, I was just being a little facetious. I agree, as much as I love a good pun, that some people just really try to force them where they don't really work.Mumorpuger said:Jolly Co-operator said:Oh dear. You and I would not get along at allMumorpuger said:Hm, maybe I should clarify by saying that I'm referring to people in forums whose only reply to a topic is a pun, or people who rely on puns exclusively as their source of wit...Dethenger said:I'm sure you're a lovely person, and I regret that we would not get along.
It's a nice analogy, but it doesn't make it true (as you've said, this is a white, male, straight nerd writing. How does he think he knows how hard or not it is for other groups to do things?), especially not in all cases, and it doesn't mean white, straight males can't have experiences that aren't typical, and it doesn't mean their opinions should be dismissed because of it.Johanthemonster666 said:
For example, I'm allowed to have a stance on abortion even though I'm never going to give birth. The thing is, people are happy to accept that until I have a stance that is against abortion, at which point for some people I become someone disqualified from having an opinion. Do you think that should be the case?
That one person? One? Pah.
-People with far right opinions
-People who take things too seriously
-People who lack empathy
-People who make stupid emotion-based decisions and completely ignore common sense and human decency (like the people who set fire to a guy that they though might be a paedophile. He wasn't even a paedeophile, not that that would have made it ok.)
-Follows on from lacking empathy, people who completely misunderstand how mental illnesses work. The kind of people that say 'They have no right to be depressed, they have so much more than kids in Africa'
I don't really hate many individual people, especially people I've never met. I just don't care enough to muster much hate, I just tune out any time anything about them comes up.

Ellen Page. I just don't get why shes apparently "good" or whatever. Or maybe I just hate Juno? I dunno Juno is just terrible and she was in it maybe that's why I hate her.
It doesn't have to be famous people right?
I work with one of the most annoying, idiotic, lazy, stupid imbeciles in the world. I spend 6 hours ever Saturday listening to this incompetent witter on about shit I don't care about. And he sucks at his job, which is piss easy. We're functionally janitors for about 90% of the time, him 100% of the time because no one thinks he could handle any additional work. They're right, but I don't get why we have to be the company who employs this moron. Did I mention he is lazy? Not only is he bad at his job, takes forever to do things, according to people who close when he's there, when he's alone on his shift, he fucks around doing nothing. It's one thing to try your hardest and just be a fucking idiot, it's another thing to not even try and hide behind a veil of obfuscating stupidity, only a small portion of which is fabricated.
Slightly more famous people, Kanye West. Naming his daughter North is just the latest entry in a long list of outrageous douchebaggery that I simply can't tolerate.

I don't like a lot of people, but the only one I dislike for no real reason at all is Emma Watson. It's annoying because she's some sort of goddess to most people, but I just don't get it. I'll just bide my time until she inevitably does something horrible on camera so I can feel retroactively justified.
I can't possibly restrict myself to just one celebrity.
-Kevin Nealon.
-Margret Cho.
-Lisa Lampaneli.
-David Schwimmer.
-Lisa Kudrow and her overly long face.
-Most of the cast of friends.
-Jason Biggs.
-Patton Oswalt.
Fuck all of you!
