Is it really that hard to see?

I've been seeing a lot of fury flying among us between users that hate each other. When that happens, I also noticed that when one is in an argument, all others jump in. Now the last part I understand, but when they start name-calling, I see a lot of hypocrisy. For example, you guys call people you don't like "trolls", yet your friends troll almost on a daily basis; you absolutely loathe perverted goons, yet your friends make dirty jokes whenever an opportunity arises; the other person is a total "b*tch", yet your friend can be just as mean/unnecessarily sarcastic to a person who simply posted an overasked question or make too many grammar errors. Just a few minutes ago, I saw a user beg for forgiveness for whatever transgression she committed, and 2-3 people were right at the spot to rip her throat apart and banned her. So what I'm asking is: is it okay to hate another person for what your FRIENDS do as well, or do you simply overlook it? Sorry, but seeing this kind of stuff happen on a daily basis bugged me, and I had to get it out there.

IKR? It's sad for me to see the "pots" calling the "kettles" black, when they or their friends are just as dark...

I definitely agree with some of what you're saying. (Which makes my a hypocrite for not liking hypocrites because I am one...omg hypocriteception!) But there are a bunch of differences in the examples you gave.

The troll thing: Yeah, you have a point there. Everyone trolls at some point, and everyone gets yelled at for it at some point.

The perv thing: This is what I disagree with. There's a huge difference between perverts and people who make dirty jokes. The pervs are the trolls who are like "LOL lets fuck show me your pussy I raped your mom" kind of people. The people who make dirty jokes, like me, are just having fun. A TON of people do it. Muffins.

Bitch thing: I hate it, but I do it, so you definitely have a point there.

The thing about a few minutes ago: I saw it, too. The 2-3 people did have a point, targeting people and protecting trolls isn't a very forgivable thing to do.

The answer to your question: Hmm, never really thought about that. :/ I think it's just human nature to overlook things your friends did, because you're close to them.

Holy shit that was longer than I thought it would be...

But yeah. That's what I think. Sorry for the long answer, I'm just one of those people who like to argue. My parents think I would make a good lawyer. (LOLnevergonnahappen.)

Eh, length's no big deal to me, and you're right on the pervert bit; I guess there is a difference between dirty jokes and outright perversion that I didn't see in the heat of the moment.

Well... Let me put it like this. Which one is worse? A joking "OHONHONHON~!" at the end of a sentence from a Hetalia fangirl, or a random troll asking questions like, "OMG U WANNA HAV SMEXY TIEMZEZ?!?! LOLOLOLTROLLOLOL!"

To me, it's more like the people joining in on the fight are standing up for their friends and/or what they think is right. One example is that there was a question about atheists celebrating Christmas. I'm a Christian, so of course I said that I don't think it's right that atheists celebrate Christmas when they don't believe in God and Jesus Christ. A user named r-pattz started getting all mad and trolling me over it, and some very nice users stood up for me and joined in. Things like that are ood in my opinion. I really think it's nice when fans stand up for friends and things in fights. I don't think the fight itself is nice, but...
Hopefully I didn't mindf*ck anyone. I hope you understood, cause I think I just contradicted myself...

I notice it. It makes me really upset, but I'm too afraid to say anything so I keep my mouth shut.

Jesus, I feel like I'm in fucking Mean Girls.

What I was basically saying was: is it okay to condemn trolls/other users for the trouble they cause when your friends do the same thing?

Oh, my friends are all huge trolls. But I'm not one to get involved with all this stuff.

I agree. Once I decided to post a question with only one grammar mistake and see people's reaction. Everyone knew what I was talking about but nobody answered my question. They just started to insult me. This is going to be a rule: "Make fun of everyone you don't agree with." the worst thing is that everyone will vote those mean answers as the best answers. Or comment them: "win!" or "XD!" and that sort of things. Fanpop is a site to share your thoughts about what you are a fan of. Not to make others upset and then sit back and laugh.
