Both are rather obnoxious and unnecessary, but one is slightly even worse than the other.
You could think of both good arguments for why both is worse off than the other.
Sore loser- The sore winner at least earned the right to gloat over their victory by performing well enough to win, whereas the sore loser is just being negative.
Sore winner- A sore winner is worse for a community dedicated to a certain activity (sports, video games, acting, filmmaking, drawing, art, cooking, etc). A sore loser can be laughed at and written off and ignored, but if someone new to a certain activity trying to get good constantly keeps getting made fun of by sore winners, it can completely turn them off of the community.
It also depends on which one you've delt with the most... if you're a loser most of the time, then you've probably dealt with sore winners more. If you're a winner most of the time, then you've probably dealt with sore losers more.
I personally am MUCH more affiliated with losing rather than winning in anything ever, so I rarely deal with sore losers who are angry because they lost to me... I deal most often with sore winners who mock me because they beat me so many times. So I therefore personally find sore winners worse.
But it varies from person to person, and I can't wait to see the poll results and your comments as to why you think a sore loser or a sore winner is worse!
