The OP is saying that he hates people who hate things. *slow clap* That's a really good way to make stop people hating things. The human mind is more drawn to dark and evil things, and those things make for more popular news. Oh, and I highly listening The World at Large, followed by Float On, in that order. They're both by Modest Mouse and the shift in tone just makes you feel warm inside and happy about everything.

So, in order to combat people who whine about love and break-ups, you bring up a personal story about love and break-ups?

As much as that title was so devoid of irony... I FULLY AGREE with you. This community is terrible when it comes down to love before the age of... quite old actually. It saddens me, and I'm glad you have said something. The Escapist needs to learn that a little positive reinforcement won't KILL THEM ALL... jeesh.

To be honest, I think that the assumption that nearly everyone on here are introverts isn't correct. More often than not, I think that the people of the Escapist paint themselves as a happy bunch.

I agree, I think it's a significant minority but minority none the less who are misanthropes, any "lost faith in humanity" posts will normally be out-numbered by rebukes. As a community we're a mix of all sorts really and when threads touch on the topic, despite our "most people are introverts" attitude the majority of posters do have a life outside of the internet.

Yeah, I hate misanthropy so much. People just seem to ignore all of the briliant things humans do and only focus on the negative things.

We are the most technologically advanced species in the entire known universe. How could you not be amazed and impressed by that?

Any time I'm feeling even slightly depressed or down I just listen to:

yeeeeeeeeeeah but with technology comes like, death man!
ANGST ANGST ANGST

Srsly though it's all very silly.

.... Am I the only one who enjoys the irony in this thread?

It's like saying "You know what I hate? People who don't like stuff!"

Why don't you start a thread that deals with rainbows and cupcakes if it's depressing you too much?
I am now going to make a thread about rainbows and cupcakes. :3 (not joking)
Rainbows and cupcakes?

I'm one joyous person. I've always noticed on here that the older people (age 21+) are a lot happier than the kiddos.

Also, it always seems that the Americans are a generally happier bunch than the English.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: this community is not full of misanthropes. It's full of a bunch of angsty high school and college students who became inspired by Yahtzee and THINK they are misanthropes, but who are actually a bunch of lonely guys who need a chill pill, a hug, and a good cry.

On that note, stretch kitteh. Feel the love.

Oh. My. Spaghetti Monster. That is just...

Give me a moment to get over the adorabolisity...

I remember when this was a gaming site and not the oprah forums. Anyone else remember that? Now, EVERY post I see is either about relationships, generic shooters, how call of duty sucks, how people should stop saying call of duty sucks, how all games these days suck because a lot of generic shooters are coming out, how someone has lost their faith in humanity, why people should stop losing faith in humanity, how people should be more happy, minecraft which I'm really starting to wish I owned, bioware game threads, and EA/Activision is evil. Can we please get some more damn variety? I don't see many threads about sandbox games around here, maybe I should start a few. Maybe some NES threads, maybe some puzzle or flight sim threads. But seriously, I see the same damn few topics every week. Can we at least try not to be a broken record?

So I heard you hate misanthropes?
At least the feeling's mutual, then D:

Seriously though, happiness around here would make for a nice change of pace.
on a side note: I just broke up with my girlfriend *gets his emo slicers*

Misanthropes are an ironic bunch.
"You shouldn't be happy, because the world is shit, weh weh weh."

Yeah, well you being a sour puss isn't making it any better, whilst me being friendly to people and a good friend will make it better for some people, as well as myself.

Misanthropy contributes nothing to humanity.

Misanthropy is an immature stance. Perhaps a stance of distrust towards people until they have proven themselves trustworthy can be justified, but an outright and intense hatred of all people simply for existing is damaging.

Oh the sweet sweet irony, well if nothing else OP you made me laugh :D
You also may wan't to check out threads like: "Why I hate haters", "I'm here to complain about complaining", ... all very amusing.

But seriously if you haven't noticed people on the internetz tend to exaggerate, you really need to take it with a grain of salt... or a truck load.

The sky is dead. Everything is black. Existence is torment. Words are meaningless blotches of diluted colors upon the fabric of suffering that is life. Blargh.

Yeah, some people are just not happy. Deal with it :/

It annoys me when people say

"I pretty much hate all people"
"How may of the 7 billion or so have you met?"
