I'm confused about a certain something. Something involving the internet as a whole (amazingly, it isn't music this time!)
If you go to any website with a large, active community, there's always a big chunk of said community that absolutely can not stand the site they're a part of. From this, we get a general feeling of tension and bad vibes from these people. A lot of the time, they'll just act like piss-babies but not say anything directly. This is stupid in and of itself, but if they aren't being directly hostile, then whatever. It's kind of stupid that they'd stay on the site.
What really gets my goat is when these people actively go out of their way to tell people "THIS SITE IS ABHORRENT AND NOT UP TO MY STANDARD OF SUPREME INTERNET BROWSING" or, if they aren't trying to sound much, much smarter than they actually are, "THIS SITE SUCKS AND I DON'T LIKE THE WAY IT'S RUN". Additionally, "THIS THING HAPPENS ON THIS SITE SO THIS SITE IS SHIT 4 EVA" like why are you even here if you hate it so much?
For example... (this one's close to home)

"Everytime I try to poke my head back in there's always some bullcrap like this happening that makes me like the site a little less"
Aight, good for you. What's compelling you to come back in the first place if you know that the site upsets you?
All this talk about getting yourself banned just to stop yourself from coming back is really fucking stupid and just a bit sad. This doesn't just go for this specific example, it goes for any person who feels the need to get themselves banned just so they have a reason not to come back to a community. I don't know about you, guys, but I see plenty of people that fucked off long before I signed up that are able to stay away. Now, there is something to be said about whether they left because either they didn't like it here or simply forgot about it, but in that case, focus on people that have made goodbye threads and actually stuck to their word. Somehow they can do it...
The worst part is when people get themselves banned and can't stay away from the place. That's a whole new kind of sad.
Another example? Why not.

Now this one's a doozy. Yeah, it's from tumblr. Never mind the quite frankly disgusting things this waste of human resources is saying about trans individuals, focus on the second paragraph.
"And here is Tumblr, poisoning all your minds..." as you stay on Tumblr... to what? Fight the supreme oppression you're facing? Well, snide comments about whether certain people are actually oppressed or not, let's look at it this way. I see a lot of posts, some from people I'm friends with (which really is too bad) and they're a lot of the time incredibly angry at what a horrible, terrible, super duper bad site Tumblr is.
It's both funny and sad, the things that inspire these kinds of posts from people. Usually it's because of some kind of EVIL ESS JAY DUBBA YOU, or an update on the site's interface that's more often than not convoluted, confusing, and just overall useless. Now, the latter I can understand being upset about. That's something that can legitimately make someone not want to use the site, but most of the time you get used to it. The former, though, I don't know. Whenever some whiny bitch goes "Look at this demographic of people, they're saying something I don't like! They're generalizing! Fuck this site! aaaaa!" It doesn't sit very well with me. Most of the time they complain about generalizations towards some demographic they fall under, while generalizing an entire site as whoever made you angry in the first place. It is a bit counter productive if you ask me.
As most of you are aware, Tumblr is a pretty liberal site, I think. If anything, there are more safe spots for people in the LGBT spectrum, people with mental illnesses, and whatnot. What I don't get is the people who go over to posts or spaces where they find people in these safe spaces and go out of their way to fuck with people. For example, reposting someone venting under a -read more- cut or making fun of someone who can't type well because they're having an anxiety attack. These are the same people that are all like "my pronouns are go/fuck/yourself, fuck your fake genders, transtrenders, black people are evil, etc" and if you think I'm generalizing here, well, fuck you. Everyone that exploits people having a bad time on that site are 99% the same. The people that go out of their way to make people having a bad time about their sexuality, gender, weight, skin color among other things, the only thing they've shown me is that they're all the same. It's even better when the terms "ANTI-SJ" or "ANTI-FEMINIST" are buzzwords in either their username or bio, because it's like what are you doing here?
Going off that tangent, they're people who will terrorize people like I described earlier and be like "Why are you all ganging up on me? Have I TRIGGERED YOU? Fuck this site!" yet stay on the site... It's literally doing nothing to make these dumb pieces of shit any favors. Especially if they go out of their way to fuck with others and then act like a martyr because OH, NOW PEOPLE ARE RETALIATING! As you could probably guess, the example image I used for this one is one of those anti-everything blogs. It's the same thing as the youchew example above, but only now it's more malicious.
Example tres: Facebook
I see an awful lot of people complaining about either the way facebook is run, their anti hate speech policies, or just everyone around them being "sluts and whores" and such.

This screenshot is pretty much everything I'm talking about. While this particular one isn't bitching about facebook's administration, picture a million different super edgy facebook pages (user accounts or fanbases) complaining about how they can't use homophobic and racial slurs as their only point of humor without worrying about getting postblocked. Like, imagine being that much of a loser.
Essentially, you're a sad, pathetic loser if you continually talk about how much you hate a certain place yet keep going to said place.
tl;dr - this rant: the video version
