Jerks Here On G@G

G@G seems like a pretty diverse place to be. You can find comedians, romantics, realists, hippies, fashionistas, etc. Another group of people you can find here on G@G, a much less favorable group of people than the others, are the assholes. These people tend to bash things that they have no business in, especially when not being asked for an evaluation. Let's break down this group of people to see just what kind of jerktitude we're dealing with here.


Those who feel the need to force their beliefs on others.


I've seen a question about religion here asking about faith. The asker wanted to know what they can do to be closer to their God. The typical asshole response will be along the lines of," You can't, he doesn't exist." or "LOL look at this idiot still believing in an outdated story book!" yet they do not offer ANY help to the asker. (This counts for any belief, by the way, not just atheism.) These people are douchey and you should ignore them.


Those who answer questions but don't try to help.


Some people on here really just like to start fights. They will post opinions on a question that offer no advice at all.


Example: Q- What can I do to fix my hair style based on this picture? A- Wow you're super ugly.


These people don't want to help you, they just want to get the xper points and hurt people's feelings in the process. If no real advice is given, ignore them. I've asked about ways to boost my self confidence/what looks good on larger girls. I got "Well just lose weight." repeatedly, but no one bothered to give advice on how to lose weight. In fact, not a single one has had anything remotely helpful or original to say about that. (I wouldn't be as angry about a "lose weight" comment if they backed it up with reasons and gave some tips on how to do so.)


Those who only want to judge others/are very superficial.


They'll often be found posting MyTakes that are meant to boost one group of people but degrade another. Whether this be fat shaming, skinny shaming, slut shaming, etc, they'll try to boost up themselves/their friends but lower the confidence of other groups.


Those who post rude comments on a MyTake but stray far from the point of the Take itself.


A MyTake written about loneliness gets comments such as "Other people have it worse, suck it up!" or "You have no idea what real loneliness is, get over it!" They'll also comment on your Takes trying to accuse you of being racist, sexist, hypocritical, or even trying to tell you that what YOU feel is WRONG. Like my post about my "perfect man", I was told that I was lying about what I wanted in a man, and that I actually wanted to date jerks. What in the world? I've also been accused of being hypocritical and sexist in a post that didn't use the words "he" or "she" ONCE, the word used was always "they" or "them". These people want to start fights, and they don't warrant a response.


Those who troll the "trolls".


They'll often comment on an anon's question accusing them of being a troll when nothing even slightly troll-like is said. They'll try to make the asker/commented feel bad for using anon, and this is incredibly messed up in my eyes. Not every anon is a troll, and accusing them of being so is very rude and pointless.



There are other types in this group of jerks, but these are the most prominent to me so far. I'm sure I'll get some hate for this MyTake, but these people had to be addressed, and you should know that no one here has to get a response from you. I started out on G@G by arguing with these rude people, but if you just ignore them they eventually give up and leave your posts alone. Rude people and fight starters don't deserve a response, so don't waste your time nor energy on them.
