- imiric 11mo agoHow am I stopping anyone's enjoyment? Why can't you let me voice my opinion?
- speff 11mo agoIt's got the same vibe as going into a circle of people having fun and telling them they're trying too hard. What's the effect you're going for? You're not being stopped from having an opinion - your comment is visible - but sharing one that'll only serve to bring down people's moods makes everything a little bit worse I think.
- rc5150 11mo agoIf you're in a circle of people whose moods can be brought down because of a shared opinion, you're in a circle of prepubescent children who haven't learned to regulate their emotions like a grown up.
- imiric 11mo ago> It's got the same vibe as going into a circle of people having fun and telling them they're trying too hard. Strange analogy, considering this is a public forum, and I'm expressing my opinion about the shared link. If you don't like it, you're free to engage or ignore it. The idea that only positive opinions should be expressed is infantile.
- beeflet 11mo agoIt does effect me. If it didn't effect anyone, no one would do it. Tattoos, stickers, etc. are a form of social signalling. Maybe they disagree with what's being signalled, or the act of signalling itself.
- brailsafe 11mo agoTattoos have a very different level of commitment, and neither need to be anything more than decoration or affect you. They can be vaguely amusing, totally innocuous, slightly differentiating for practical purposes, all kinds of things. I used to have an "I <3 Beaver" sticker on mine, no need to overthink it.
- nandomrumber 11mo agoHowever it affects you, I think you’re kind of volunteering for it.
