You could have just not said that.
Dude, Its a made for TV boxing match and his opinion came from it so I made a joke. Sorry if I dont study each individual's backstory. This is the internet and you guys really love making an anonymous forum personal.
Ooohhh, it was just a JOKE when you said that shitty thing to a stranger for your own emotional needs. Sorry, I didn't realize.
Sometimes a joke is just a joke. But you guys want to wave your moral superiority over me, that's fine. Let me tell you declaring war on every little thing someone says gets tiring. Next time you watch a movie with a fat joke in it are you going to turn it off and write the director a letter?
I think that's exactly what they'll do. No sense of humor, lauds their false moral superiority over people because they feed on outrage. They need it to survive.
Nah that neckbeard wanted to "I can't even" boxing. They can take that somewhere else.
They should be allowed to state an opinion without being attacked. If you are so fragile you can't tolerate the idea that there are people who aren't into things you like, you aught to take THAT somewhere else.
Oh, I'm not an admin. I'm not removing his ability to say what he said. Likewise to the whole "people are entitled to their opinions" tripe; nobody is deleting opinions.
But I think you're confused. I'm "attacking" someone being negative and shitting on boxing. They're doing the "I don't even get rap, country suckkksss" thing. You know, where you don't like something other people like so you pretend it's utterly bizarre and alien. Like what you're describing. The behavior you think should be taken elsewhere.
This comment thread is like a boxing match, I like it
I agree with you. It's like saying "sportsball" in a condescending way. He was being dismissive when he said I don't get how it is entertaining in the first place.
I don't know dude, people have been fighting other people, for sport, for fucking thousands of years, but you don't understand the "idea of it being entertaining."
That is straight up, deliberate obtuseness. I am not really a boxing fan, but I thought your response was warranted.
