Things which people insult you for liking/enjoying

[CK76]

I grew up in rural US south and have a deep passion for football(soccer) so that often didn't go over well.

They're coming around slowly though, victory in time shall be mine!

 

[Mr Snuffles]

People hate me for liking Caramell Dansen O.O I don't know how they can be so blinded from the truth of the holy ones!

 

[aruseusx]

Metal, Punk (specifically Green Day), and in general just not liking the over the counter culture that everyone else is eating up. I still haven't heard all of "Baby", "You're a Jerk", or "California Gurls". Hell with that trash, gimme some drums and a guitar and I'll show you music!

Yeah fuck metalcore.

EDIT: Liking real metal.(Not glam, numetal or metal/deathcore) Everyone I know is a fan of Parkway Drive and Modern Hardcore (ewww!). But I have the last laugh on how PD have started becoming a melodeath band and more popular for it.

Reading, and soccer/football (Y'know, unless America is in the World Cup).

And while I haven't been insulted yet, I can just picture getting a lot of shit for my enjoyment of Shakespeare.

EDIT: I'll also add the Twilight Zone, film noir, and...

I've been called a "fag" before because I enjoy smooth jazz

...jazz and classical music.

I love Jazz and Classical.

Slipknot (I don't even like them that much, but they're certaintly not bad)
MW2 (the internet.)
Being a bassist (fuck you, guitarists. Especially if you're worse than me at the guitar)
Things that are NOT METULZ!!! (ska, bands like the afformentioned Slipknot that aren't 'metal' enough, like Avenged Sevenfold, acoustic stuff)

 

[Jack_Uzi]

Must be my old Dutch army trenchcoat. Some people think I'm a nazi when I wear it. But I don't give a sh!t about that kind of predjudice. Sometimes I also get nice remaks, so all in all, it gets a reaction and I like it very much.

Hair.

More specifically I get the occasional random insult from people, "people" in this context being strangers and dickheads, because I have long(and quite frankly, bitchin')hair.

I've never understood the reason for the hair hate....

I'm sorry...what?

People have actually insulted your hair?!

But you look like Kurt Russel! It is not possible!

Right, give me the addresses of these people. I'm going to kill them.

Is that so unexpected? I got my fair share of comments for having the metal coupe. That's the downside of looking like awesome incarnate.

it's all about balance, man.

 

[d4rkxy13x]

"Enola Gay, you should'a stayed at home yesterday..."

 

[Layzor]

No not really. Though I'd say that coverage suck bawls.

 

[vivalahelvig]

Well I'm slightly Catholic...and on this one trip my ex-friend and his friend are super christians...so i can make fun of whatever i want, especially them and their religion, because the other guy in the room was being 'converted' so i coulda just started the '5 minute' crusade...because i coulda beaten up the 2, stabbed them, and then turned their heads into nice bowls....but that would be 'murder' and i didnt want to miss out on anything. Oh and they are total douches now, but one of em knows karate....the other knows 'fuckhead jitsu'

 

[Latinidiot]

Et tu, Snip?

It's good to know someone else around my age genuinely enjoys Shakespeare.

I'm in the middle of Julius Caesar right now, actually.

Kai Su, Teknoon

(that's what he actually said. In ancient Greek. HARHAR!)

 

[Joeshmoe5]

Fable2

 

[goatzilla8463]

Blue (the band)

I get so much abuse.

 

[Harlemura]

My sister won't stop telling me how wrong I am for liking modern Sonic games.
Just because I enjoy actually going fast in Sonic games. I'm too bad at the old ones to get any sort of speed up.

 

[DustyDrB]

Mad Men. Most people I know think it's boring. One girl said it's the male version of Sex and the City.

[terzil]

I get insulted for playing RuneScape (I'm 18 years old) "OMG U PLAY THT PICE OF SHIT?! WOW OWNS REWNSHCAYPE SOOO MUUUUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


Also Pokémon... (Cmon... Pokémon is awesome...)

 

[Kruxxor]

Pokemon
Warhammer
Collecting figures


But what does it matter? I enjoy the above things.

 

[Dahni]

The incongruity between my music taste and my dress sense.

I have a music taste which is generally really heavy. Mostly metal, hardcore, death metal, deathcore, and a fair few other combinations of them.

But then I dress a bit like an indie kid (hipster, to you Americans). I wear extremely girly clothes at times. i dress to match my music taste sometimes when going to gigs, but in general, people look at me and think I'm into Oasis.

The only thing that gives me away is my piercing.

I also get insulted for the fact that I like Xbox.
I've got too many friends who love PS3.
=/

I preferred it to the Hurt Locker, which has made one person refuse to talk to me anymore.

...what? That movie was awful. I mean, I wasn't even a big fan of Avatar (as you already know) but I definitely preferred it to The Hurt Locker.

Well, apparently because it's won 6 Oscars, and we all know that the Academy Awards Committee is the pinnacle of non-biased, totally objective judging, it's somehow sacred.

Urgh. I hate people who take Oscars seriously.

Ah yes, of course because everything that wins an Oscar instantly means it's the perfect movie and isn't based around politics, what's popular at the time and when your due is up.


Seriously, the only reason The Hurt Locker won is because they felt obligated to give a female director the Oscar because it's never happened before and the Academy absolutely despises Cameron.

Just look at Slumdog Millionaire. I still can't understand why that movie got the Oscar.

That and how they gave Sandra Bullock "Best Actress" completely disregards them as a legitimate source for what's good in film

The hurt locker is decent enough, but I agree that it didn't deserve to win for best picture. Inglourious basterds, District 9 and Up were miles better.

I've been insulted for liking The beatles....yeah.
