    No one is trying to keep anyone from enjoying things here? This is clearly just a funny joke and if it genuinely offends you then you’re the one who needs to let people enjoy things.

      I admit I don’t get the joke. I just see people smugly belittling others for their hobbies. Where is the joke? What’s to be laughed at? If anything, this makes me sad that people are so antisocial and unempathetic that they feel like they need to tear others down to feel happy.

        It s like catharsis, when the bullied turn the tables and get a go at bullying the stereotypical bullies.

          That’s not wisdom. Those are gross generalizations for idiots and assholes to feel smug about themselves.

          Small people talk about other people

          And this is not talking about other people?

            No. The point of the idea was to discuss ideas (and perhaps dissuade others from engaging in whatever was happening in OP’s thread) – essentially, advising others to ignore such comments when they encounter them in social media.

            We’re already above the lowest level of name-calling by just talking about it, though I think a few people did respond with insults.

          They are little implying they are acting like a child for wearing a jersey with that whole “lil guy” statement. It’s absolutely and obviously belittling them. I can’t believe anyone can’t see it.
