Why are people on this forum so bothered by OPINIONS!!!

I just read like 2 threads of complete hilarity!!

lmaoooo

Like if someone states their opinion, no amount of fact/ data that you can pull up will change their mind. NONE! as it's not up for debate!

it is completely OKAY to not agree with someone, it is okay to open that thread and close it right back up instead of engaging with someone to the point of being upset over something so frivolous

and YES i said FRIVOLOUS! don't get me wrong... i don't have an issue with that because you're free to talk about xyz on this forum...but the constant 'competition' over a freaking opinion is just sad.... and it happens everyday on here...... it's both entertaining and sad tbh

But i have to ask: aren't y'all tired of the same thing day in day out?

cause i'm exhausted

I mean there's really a difference between stating an opinion and straight up bashing. If you say "I personally don't like X's singing voice" that's an opinion. But if you say "X has such a terrible singing voice, they can't sing, they can't dance, what a waste of space" That's literally bashing. People need to learn the difference.

I understand what you're saying but it's still their opinion.... it's a fine line really. your example of "i personally don't like X's singing voice" can also be considered bashing. I don't encourage hate speech just to get their cleared.

Maybe i'm too much of an adult... but i'm not engaging with someone that's already got their mind made up before even posting the thread...i'd look ridiculous

Saying you're not a fan of their visuals is fine but saying they look like fish is hurtful. I mean, wouldn't people be upset if others bashed their faves especially for things they can't control? I don't mind if they criticize dancing or vocal ability though.

Yup I definitely don't even engage with hate speech.

report and block, only options

Quote from selfmate

I think people need to understand what constructive criticism means and actually how to use it

Totally agree

don't want generalize... but things like that come with age, experience, and maturity (there are exceptions to this rule of course)... but the demographic for the users of this site/kpop fans is a little young....so that is that ( and i remember my teenage years: headstrong, i'm always right, living/saying things for the moment/yolo lmaoo)

There’s sharing your opinion on one hand and then being hateful and nasty on the other, you can share your opinion in a kind and polite way and if someone has an issue that’s their own problem

hey as long as it's not hate speech.. i don't care what the opinion is

if i don't like the opinion, I EXIT the thread.. like engaging would just be counterproductive

Quote from QueenMaknae27

U just have to differentiate the trolls from the users who have sincere opinions

Yes!! there's like 2 users on this forum I don't even click on their threads anymore because i already know..

Quote from Tic_tac_toe

I always wonder why so many ppl want my validation lol. Because that’s what imma assume you want if you take go off on my opinions.

lmaooo we need an impartial exol like you

Quote from Oh_Kill_Em

Something I notice, generally speaking, is that ppl tend to forget that it's ok for ppl to disagree with opinions

If someone says, "I disagree" and it leads to a debate/discussion, that's not that person telling you "Well you can't have that opinion"....they're just saying they have a different viewpoint than you

agreed! and when you realize they're either trolling or hate-mongering that's when you stop responding/blocking, moving on

Quote from BlackpinkHouse

Why even have a message board then if you're not going to engage with people? A forum thrives on both legit disagreements between members and even illegitimate troll threads. That's what drives traffic.

i don't recall saying all that. Engage all you want... it's a forum and people can do whatever they want. I'm speaking of WALLS arguing with eachother and physical being upset over eachother's opnions lmaooo... there is no resolve. Especially as disagreeing over facts and opinions are two completely different things.

At some point you'll have to learn to walk away... traffic or no traffic it looks ridiculous!

it still FUNNY for sure! I'll read it and go
