Shut up

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

you're making it sound like it's absolutely impossible to say anything in english without having to resort to hyperbole to say it

which is, funny enough, hyperbole itself

it's not literally impossible, but hyperbole is commonly used in our day-to-day life. Yes, whatever, even if saying something is shit is 'hyperbole', it's still my exact opinion. 'I do not like Gunnerkrigg Court' is too muted for getting across my feelings, and 'I hate gunnerkrigg court' is way too invested. 'Gunnerkrigg Court is shit' gets across my feelings.

that's fine, in all honesty

all i was pointing out is that people are more likely to get pissed about usage of hyperbole like that compared to, say, "i despise gunnerkrigg court" or something

and my point was that they're gigantic babies if they get pissed, because it's just a fucking webcomic

it's not like i'm attacking the creator or fans of it

i just think it's a poorly made comic

if its your jam, cool. i think its shit. why does that matter so much to you, hypothetical person.

probably because they like it that much and don't want to hear it compared to poop, really

it's not like this is a behavior you see strictly among fans of one particular webcomic, anon, this happens all the time over everything that someone could possibly like or dislike

but i love things a lot and if people call them shit im just like 'oh well, they didn't like it, whatevs'

and i never said this was exclusive to gunnerkrigg court
