Ok, this post might end up in the search results for pr0n because the title, but it actually contains nothing sexually related. Sorry to disappoint you all (you dirty monkeys).
What I really mean to ask is, do you talk trash about other people? Strangers, friends, family, your neighbor’s dog1, I mean anyone. I’m not talking about pointing out someone’s fault in a constructive way or harmless joking, but purely talking shit2 because:
- you’re angry at them
- you think it’s funny
- you’re just an a-hole like that
- any combination of the above
I know for me and a lot of other people, we do it because it’s funny. I know it’s mean to laugh at other people’s expenses, but I’m too damn easily amused. I also talk trash when I don’t like you3, and I’m sure some of you have certainly wrote not-so-nice things about certain people on your blogs before. They might or might not have deserved it, but it’s a fine line between venting your emotions/stating the facts and just downright shitting on someone. More often than not, I find myself crossing that line because people actually laugh and have a good time4 when they hear me trash talk others.
But what goes around comes around5 It’s not so bad when people say stuff about me, though it will make me sad, but it hurts the most when you hear people say shit about the people you love, true or not. The things they say doesn’t even have to be really nasty. It can just be a simple unnecessary criticism, especially about something like appearances or race or sexuality, things that can’t be helped. Maybe they think it’s funny, but I certainly don’t, yet I have to admit that I have been guilty of doing the same idiotic thing to others without even a thought. I laughed, people laughed, we had a good time, but if the “fat” and “ugly” target of bashing heard the things I said, how would they feel? I never cared until now, and though it’s hard, I think it’s about time I grew up and stop trying to create laughter at other innocent people’s expenses6. Unless they did something totally obscene and awful, then don’t blame me for crossing the damn line.Error processing request

- Half of which isn’t even related to the problem at hand. Eg: calling someone a “fugly whore” just because they stepped on your new $500 white shoes. ↩
- Probably because you’re an idiot, my biggest pet peeve. ↩
- One of the most popular posts on my blog is where I trash stupid girls who can’t type properly. And it’s not just on my blog, but in general too. I’m mad and trashing someone, and people just laugh. Either I have a really funny angry expression, which I don’t think I do, or they just enjoy listening to me put other people down. ↩
- I’m not even joking about this. Karma DOES exist, and oh is it a bitch. ↩
- Omg, I feel like such a bully now
When did I become so mean? ↩
