Happy to be uncool.

All of my life I've been totally uncool. I'm either behind the times or ahead of my time. I wear the wrong clothes, think the wrong thoughts, and am generally an outcast in any group.
Well now looking around at the fandom at what is the new chic and cool thing to be I have one thing to say, I AM FRELLING GLAD I'M UNCOOL FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE!
What am I talking about? I'm talking about every single person has some how decided that being a total prick is the new cool.
That's right you wanna cool hip and up to date then heap dump loads of caustic abuse on everyone around you. It is the quickest way to the top of the popularity heap you know, push yourself up by shitting on other. Someone has an opinion you don't like attack them personally. Better yet find a way to humiliate them publicly so you have a better social standing yourself.
What the hell is your major malfunction people? Is everyone suddenly a high school freshman?
It doesn't take any more effort to be nice than it does to be an asshole. And I don't mean roll over and take someone's crap quietly either. You can state you opposing point without belittling others or being an ass, if you think about it for a minuet it makes you point even stronger by avoiding personal attacks.
Now I know a bunch of you are just saying “I'm not being an ass I'm just being honest.” I got something to tell you about that you can be honest WITHOUT hurting people. A little empathy and tact go a long way it this world.
You can get a few cheap thrills and be the center of attention by being a prick but in the long run you know what it wins you? Eventually you are going to piss off everyone and you are going to be left all alone.
Maybe I'm just not hip to the new wave but I'm going to keep being nice to people and if there is someone I have to disagree with I shall do so politely.

Yes, I agree with you completely on this. Snarking for fun was great, when I was 17.
In the meantime, we can giggle at them be all SERIOUS BUSINESS about everything. :3
