Why I hate people...

[silversolitaire]

Dealing with communities more often lately I have two things to say.

MEGA-PEEVE #1: People who's only thing to navigate by in their journals is a hugeass lame piece of poem or whatever with random words highlighted that either lead to the usual LJ stuff (calendar, userinfo etc.), but also other people's LJs and even weblinks. It's nonsensical, it's annoying and a damn nuisance when you actually try to find their userinfo.

MEGA-PEEVE #2 (and that is by far the biggest): people with fucking disgusting usericons. God, they make me sick. The icons I have seen over past two weeks have traumatized me for life. I've seen animated versions of people have a hole drilled into their heads, zombies devouring flesh, people having their throats cut, a gutted anime girl, a tied up girl cut to pieces and put on a sushi platter, kitties with their tails cut off... the list is endless. I'm fucking sick of it. Why can't some people get it into their thick heads that not everyone finds the display of gore and violence funny or cool? What goes on in these people's heads that they have this need to gross out people with their fucking usericons? I don't get it. And what annoys me even more is that it's not even against LJ policy. Nooo, as long as it's not your DEFAULT icon you can have any sick and demeaning icon you like, even if you use it all the fucking time in every goddamn community you go to. I'm so sick of it. I know why I usually stay away from communities. That way at least I'm not constantly exposed to the pond scum of human social interaction. Goddammit.

I hate the poems too, it's so confusing.

And I haven't seen any disgusting usericons so far, and I consider myself very lucky for that. From what you say, there are some sick people out there. >.

I agree, I can't see what's so satisfying about having a nasty usericon. =( Intentionally going to look at yucky pictures is fine (yes, I haven't forgotten the time you wanted to clobber me for forwarding some to you T_T), but having them on all your posts all the time is... Unpleasant.

Luckily for me, I haven't come across either of those. But then again I was only in two LJ communities until last night, when I was procrastinating my homework. xD; There's only one icon I've seen that bugs me, and that's just a really annoying face I wanna smack every time I see it. xD;
