Things the Internet hates, but I'm indifferent to

Family Stickers

Why the hate? Her minivan isn't a WW2 with kills stamped on the fuselage. Someone loves his kids, and his cats and dog. And why do you hate on minivans? Sometimes you have to move people around. The Caravan saved my dad's career. Complain about SUV's. I mean, SUV's are minivans for people who have money to throw away, and are too embarrassed to they need a minivan. Grow up.

Hash tags in Facebook. People saying "LOL" in real life

People cut-paste on twitter and Facebook. Deal with it. Language is designed by such colloquial. If you're so hateful, why are you even on Facebook? Hashtags are the least of the things you should be pissy about.

Titanic. Twilight. Justin Bieber

Titanic was an epic. You can argue the love story was simple, but it was a massive project and very impressive. Plus, the string quartet and old people made me cry.

As for Twilight and Justin Bieber. Clearly you are more sophisticated than a 13 year old girl. So are you just going to complain until 13 year olds are cool again? You're going to get old before you grow up.

Emoticons

:P

Hmmm...

The only thing I can think of is the whole childfree hatred of parental oversharing on FaceBook.

I get why people are annoyed by it... not everyone wants to hear about Little Billy or Suzy's daily trivialities. But on the other side of the coin, not everyone wants to hear about the trivialities enjoyed by grownups either. I'm sure folks inwardly groan when I post a cute picture of my cats or a snap of a completed sewing or food project. Then they do what I do and scroll past.

And the string quartet still opens the tear floodgates for me. :3

I still love cat pictures. Fortunately, the Internet does too :) Future alien anthropologists are going to study our Internet data and think cats are our dominant species.

I'm posting what I want. I'm usually pandering to at least one person... me.

Some self-professed childfree people really scare me. So much hate.

I love them too! Unfortunately what seems like a cute cat photo-op with me is usually pretty mundane when compared to the likes of Stuff On My Cat or Grumpy Cat. I may think my cats are stunning, but the rest of the world is, like: "Meh." XD

I have to admit to some annoyance when faced with the shenanigans of this new "I'm That Hip Parent That Takes Their Little Genius EVERYWHERE" sort... There are just some places that kids should not be (say, like a tea room - which I discussed at length somewhere back in my journal), imho.

Regardless, I also don't understand the seething hatred that comes from the more militant child-free folk. My thoughts on the kid/no kid thing is the same as my thoughts on abortion: have one if you want/need to or don't have one if you don't want/need to. Either way, respect the other guy's decision.
