Why Are Dataloungers Such Bitterly Miserable Cunts?

There goes my New Year's resolution already! OP, you're a cunt!

[quote]It’s like visiting a psychiatric ward or a nursing home or the psychiatric ward of a nursing home.

I agree. And eff all the racist Dataloungers. You'd think there would be more compassion for the downtrodden.

But no. Spoiled little white twinks.

It’s because gay men grow up to be bitter grandmas incapable of seeing the positive in anything.

OP, I totally agree. I don't mind the general bitchiness. I actually like that. But some people here are just absolutely toxic with the negative cloud they bring with them as they descend upon a thread. Anything with the slightest bit of joy has to be converted to misery.

R2 elderly + mentally deranged

Which part of that do you not understand?

Pointless bitchery can be tiring after awhile.

Well I never in all my life!

You're both out to ruin the day of those of us who come here for a little cynical humor and venting about our troubles in life. OP and R3. Also R3 is a brainwashed reverse-racist.

You did notice the sign on the way in, didn’t you dear?

There are some miserable cunts who bitch on the internet. I am scared I will turn into that when I am old.

* after a while

Be best

I like Datalounge how it is - never change.

Bye, OP

OP You are spot on . Now die in a grease fire.

How dare you op! You don’t know what I go through at night!

[quote] OP, I totally agree. I don't mind the general bitchiness. I actually like that. But some people here are just absolutely toxic with the negative cloud they bring with them as they descend upon a thread. Anything with the slightest bit of joy has to be converted to misery.

It used to be a sometimes fun distraction, even with the nastiness. It’s not fun anymore. There’s no joy and very little humor.

[quote] You're both out to ruin the day of those of us who come here for a little cynical humor and venting about our troubles in life. OP and [R3]. Also [R3] is a brainwashed reverse-racist.

Yes because anyone who supports racial equality and dares call out casual racism is actually the real racist. That makes perfect sense. Racial equality is the real racism. You sir are an idiot.

Oooh babe you’re so delicious...

[quote]You drop in for a little gay gossip, a little tasteful friends, chatter about cute boys and a little levity

Because it's what you seek. By definition, gossip is usually bitter, mean or flat out defamation of character.

Tasteful friends is almost always a scathing critique of too much money and too little taste.

Cute boys are almost always self absorbed, shallow, materialistic label queens looking for a daddy to buy them some Gucci.

Fuck you OP, we've been stuck inside like flowers in the attic for nearly a year. If you can't handle the drama go back to Reddit.

^^^ this times infinity ^^^

[quote] Because it's what you seek.

Oh it’s my fault.

[quote] Fuck you OP, we've been stuck inside like flowers in the attic for nearly a year.

Lies.

I liked it!

How [bold]DARE[/bold] you bitter queens supply me with the vitriol I so desperately crave!

OP, there's the thread about Jessica Simpson losing 100 lbs or the 500 Chrissy Metz threads which are probably up your alley.

We're stuck inside, friend. We all--except for a few truly deranged morons--are afraid of our friends and family dying in this plague.

We're stressed.

Ain't no entertainment gossip because ain't no theatre (and fewer movies).

All we have is a furniture salesman who may have killed his beancounter nerd husband for a pretty insignificant amount of cash.

Just stop, R18.

Thanks so much for practicing what you preach, OP. So uplifting.

And thank you for replacing racism with ageism ("nursing home"), as if it's the older gays here who are the problem you seek.

Now, let's all make this the Fantasyland the OP expects. Places!!!!

R9 is a racist through and through, and lives in Indiana.

No such thing as reverse racism. Take a look at capital, income, schools, poverty and black people have it far worse.

Oh, I'll be honest. I truly enjoy calling OP a miserable cunt because I am the bitter, old queen that Datalounge has made me.

Or maybe I just like using the word cunt here, since I can never use it in the real world...

Little Miss Sparkle Rainbow thinks we care about being called bitter cunts. Isn't that just fucking adorable?

[quote]All we have is a furniture salesman who may have killed his beancounter nerd husband for a pretty insignificant amount of cash

Erm, what?

OK, boys.

Back to basics and shut up about racism not being something all Americans are into.

[quote] We're stuck inside, friend. We all--except for a few truly deranged morons--are afraid of our friends and family dying in this plague. We're stressed.

Which prevents you from behaving like a decent human being?

As I said before. If you felt bad when you logged in. After a few minutes you will feel worse. Datalounge could be an escape but it’s not. It’s not a fun distraction anymore.

[quote] And thank you for replacing racism with ageism ("nursing home"), as if it's the older gays here who are the problem you seek.

My comments are not ageist. It’s no secret that Datalounge is dominated older people. That’s just a fact. If it were populated by teens. I would have chosen another analogy.

[quote]You drop in for a little gay gossip, a little tasteful friends, chatter about cute boys and a little levity

Just try to get from A to B, do a little SHOPPING ...

OP is that girl at the party.

[quote] Little Miss Sparkle Rainbow thinks we care about being called bitter cunts. Isn't that just fucking adorable?

I don’t believe you care about anything other than perpetuating misery. It loves company.

Lol@ R36....Yasssss!

OP = There's a fly in my Chardonnay

On today's episode of "Karen Would Like to Speak to the Internet's Manager"...

Gay men realize that america was founded by men of english ancestry. Lincoln promised to repatriate blacks. I don't think it is racist to say that nonwhites have no business in america. As far as equality, it's plain stupid to pretend that blacks could be equal. They never survived multiple ice ages and mixing with neanderthals. Race is too important to ignore.

[quote] Datalounge could be an escape but it’s not. It’s not a fun distraction anymore.

I think it depends which threads you follow. But the overall vibe of the site has always trended cynical, a bit dark, with gallows humor galore.

Aww, kiss me sweet, OP.....

@r8, "Well I never in all my life! "

We know, that's why you're such a miserable bitch

sorry you don't know how to do DL, OP

When a thread like this appears it ALWAYS means the OP has just been pissed off in another thread about something they won't mention and instead decide to attack everyone so they can bitch with no context.

[quote] On today's episode of "Karen Would Like to Speak to the Internet's Manager"...

My comments are not directed at a “manager.”

[quote] I think it depends which threads you follow. But the overall vibe of the site has always trended cynical, a bit dark, with gallows humor galore.

Dark humor is entertaining. Darkness minus the humor is Datalounge.

All for you, OP!!!

I don't know OP, but I'm a humourless dyke who's been coming here for about 12 years now. Fuck knows how I even found the place, probably googling some gossip or snark.

It never fails to make me laugh - the latest one was on the Hilaria Baldwin thread where a poster informed the rest of us that Spanish people 'are just fucking brown, cunts. They just are' or something along those lines.

The venom in the response made me cackle for ages.

Oh, FANK you, OP!

You fixded our Datalounge!

Glad to have you here, R49! Humorless lesbians made DL what it is today!

I for one welcome our humorless dyke overlords.

I would like to speak to your manager!!!!

And R49 proves OP's point. A non funny venomous racist post that degrades a culture, other races and females makes "her" cackle. Cuz lesbians just love being called cunts. Ancient white FAG is what R49 really is. That's funny, right?

Turn that frown upside down, OP!

Be the change you want to see!

[quote]Gay men realize that america was founded by men of english ancestry.

Say what?

Many thanks to R54 for unintentionally demonstrating what a humorless cunt truly is.

OP is just the humorless scold who is going to turn this ship around! Get in line men (and unfunny lesbians)!

And OP is now reading each of us to absolute filth, post by post, completely unaware of how the block button works.

Bitch, you don't exist to me anymore. Don't bother responding.

Intentional. I assure you. Please stop using the word cunt, ancient white fag @ R57. Where's your sense of humor? Your renowned Wit and Wisdom? Your retort is to say "cunt" again. Is that funny to you gramps?

OP I think you want the link for Hello Kitty.

Judgemental Cunt.

[quote]Is that funny to you gramps?

Yep.

Thanks for speaking truth to power op

OP is telling us now so she won't have to tell us later.

[quote] OP I think you want the link for Hello Kitty. Judgemental Cunt.

Are you going to sponsor my membership, like a country club? Please tell me all about your organization.

[quote]Over the top vitriol, virulent racism, and a sick and twisted obsession with tragedy permeate thread after thread. That’s not fun, nor is it interesting.

Don't forget photos of delicious criminals and cagemeat who have committed terrible crimes! They make Momma's mussy DRIP like a window air conditioner in Florida!

Lol @ R63. Yes, we ancient fags here are so powerful! Fuck off, dumb ass.

It's the cycle of life OP.

R68 wins!

They are fat whores, that's why

Fuck you OP. I've been adding genius level pointless bitchery to this site for going on two decades. And you know what it's given me? NOTHING but a few lousy WW and a bad case of carpal tunnel.

If I want to cunt it up on here? Goddamn it, I will.

Now, if you choose to die in the grease fire, please send your stuff to my Connecticut address.

I've been here for maybe 15 years now and recently discovered reddit. I am in shock at how civil, witty and nice people are over there. What's wrong with them?

r54 what made me laugh wasn't that the poster stated all Spanish people are brown (going against every other poster in the thread) or that he called us all cunts. It was the misplaced confidence and venom behind the comment that made me laugh at him, but also the situation.

If you don't get that, then I have no idea why you are here.

And now you're calling me an ancient white fag? Bitch please, lol.

Most forums are taken over by domineering straight white male nerds (whatever the topic, they know it all and explain it in endless detail) who god help you if you try to joke with or about.

DL doesn't take itself seriously, meaning it is, imo, more intelligent.

OP should use the ignore button more.

why?

just lucky I guess!

OP needs to fill in an Underwhelming thread.

I meant to type “spend some time in.” How that resulted in “fill in” is a mystery to me.

OP is a Datalounger, so she is -by her own reckoning - a bitter, miserable cunt.

There. Are we all agreed now?

Have some Chow Mein, OP. You seem a bit tense and fussy.

The issue is there are some who always get cranky when they don't get their way or they think enough people aren't agreeing with their point of view.

LaChoy makes Chinese Food Swing American!

MARY!

You're the problem, OP.

Gawd, ya'll should have been here in '98 if you think it's bad now,

[quote][R54] what made me laugh wasn't that the poster stated all Spanish people are brown (going against every other poster in the thread) or that he called us all cunts. It was the misplaced confidence and venom behind the comment that made me laugh at him, but also the situation.

So are you a bush eating birkenstock wearing beaner?

I'm here too wallow in all the malice, cuntery and venom. Thank you, DL, for making me whole again!

OP is a Boris. He's trying the "divide and conquer" approach.

[quote]R27 All we have is a furniture salesman who may have killed his beancounter nerd husband for a pretty insignificant amount of cash

[quote]R32 Erm, what?

The only bitterness that’s not funny to me is found in the racist anti-Meghan Markle threads, and the #TrannyPanic ones.

Everyone else... I’ve seen worse.

Be Best, bitches!

It’s like complaining about hamburgers at McDonald’s.

It's called survival, Dear.

It only took 3 posts for the black racist to show-up.

How very dare you!

[quote] Fuck you OP, we've been stuck inside like flowers in the attic for nearly a year. If you can't handle the drama go back to Reddit.

😂🤣🤣

"Why Are Dataloungers Such Bitterly Miserable Cunts?"

The lady doth protest too much.

Welcome to the mirror, darling. What you hate about Datalounge is what you hate about yourself.

[quote] Oh it’s my fault.

It is your fault, R23! It’s [italic]your[/italic] fault every time you sign into this message board at 6:30! If it’s starting all over again, the lying, the covering up, the disappearing for hours, I won't stand for it, I can't stand for it, I really can't!

Also, read these threads and tell me these cunts are miserable and unlovable.

You’re just looking in the wrong places, darlin’.

And this 😭

[quote] Little Miss Sparkle Rainbow thinks we care about being called bitter cunts. Isn't that just fucking adorable?

🤣😂🤣😂

[quote] My comments are not directed at a “manager.”

No, just the clerks.

I like a little witty banter and bitchiness as much as the next person but I agree with you OP - it mostly feels like a competition on who can give the most vile, antagonistic, biting and condescending replies possible. And when they’re not being absolutely bitter cunts, they’re totally dismissive with their highly original 0/10 ratings.

I could lie and say it doesn’t bother me but it does. Not because my feelings are hurt by some random nobody on the internet but because it’s not conducive for building actual multifaceted conversations and actually getting to the bottom of interesting topics. It’s a boner and topic killer, it’s rarely very sharp and almost never funny.

I imagine that group of people to be a mix of washed up drag queens who think that negativity based shtick is still funny or relevant and sexually frustrated low self-esteemed deadbeats who probably were picked on growing up and who turned that pain into anger and rage. The reality is, people who are getting laid regularly and have a normal social circle just aren’t compelled to piss on someone else’s parade (unless they’re into it)

Just my 2¢

Relax. O.P. These are difficult times. Only the strong, nasty bitches will survive.

A complaint about "racism" and then you put "cunts" in the title.

I only get sick of the threads about politics and racial shit. I don’t need to know about every Karen who yells at a black guy. Let’s post more gossip and hot ass.

So your threads are duds r102?

R102 I can understand and even empathize with how you feel, but the irony here is staggering:

Talk about pissing on parades, dear.

Dear OP, you simply need to block more people. Without realizing, I discovered I've blocked over 100 people on this site. The most miserable, hateful, negative bitches are all gone now when I come here. It's delightful.

If you want to artificially inflate your ww count, you pretty much have to sprinkle a bit of racism in your posts. I do wonder why french people are never called to task for being relentlessly brunettes. How does a white person acquire dark eyes without being a bit brown?

Piety, bad naivete or basic skanktimony at best on most sex topics, an absolute aversion towards helping anyone less fortunate than they are due to some need for mass adoration of their financial wherewithal and whatever struggle they may have had to endure (stock options, inheritance, widowhood) to generate it, and a complete dislike of popular culture post 1964.

Oh, and tattoos are so trashy and Shawn Mendes has to be gay.

Yup, that's what we is here

Christ almighty whaddaya want OP --- should we Bitch Back Better?

Many appear to have had dysfunctional childhoods (see the multitude of "I hate holidays/Disney/Halloween" threads or come from homophobic families who have shunned them. Throw in a few fat/fem/fug lusting after musc/masc/hot they'll never have unless money is exchanged. Sprinkle in the struggle and hard road they've had to travel, especially eldergays, as opposed to the heteronormative easy street.

Dataloungers are better enjoyed from a distance.

Dataloungers are like the neighbor's house that you take pains to dash by only when you're certain the old insomniac is likely to be laid flat in an alcoholic haze, knowing that for the other 23 hours of the day he's at his window Gladys Kravitzing and ready to lurch out at you with a sneer and a request for some unpleasant favor. Dataloungers are like the "old friends" you are glad never to see, yet when you get their annual Xmas newsletters (yes, stuck in the past, they still carry on that lost tradition of equal parts agony and bragging) you race to your letter opener (right there beside the pencil you used to use to dial the phone) and can't open the envelope fast enough to read what's inside, to groan at all the intended "funny bits" and laugh at all the writer's tragedies.

I like, sometimes love Data Lounge but am glad to be far removed from a lot of you sour old hateful fuckers, stuck in the past sad sacks, and scolds.

Try to imagine an event outside a MAGA convention that could be worse than an in the flesh Data Lounge meet up.

*snear

(I forgot those lovely old dears, the "Oh, dear"s.)

I realised that I'd never get anywhere in life by being as nice to everyone as I thought they would be to me.

And that I had been punished, tormented and purposely misunderstood for being different.

'Do better' , OP? Fuck you.

You've got the trolls (it may just be one guy, honestly) who will find someone in a thread and out of nowhere start screaming at them, trying to start a fight.

You've got someone like him who pretty obviously follows one person around for a day or two, calling names and hurling insults.

There's the legitimately mentally ill who are just by their nature difficult to be around for any length of time.

There are multiple people on here who have something going on with them -- booze, personality disorder, pain meds, who knows -- and they will lose their complete and entire shit out of nowhere because they misread something or got a little confused.

Then there are the old conservatives who are always in a pissy mood.

There's the alt-right/rightwing trolls who are always as cranky and morose as possible. Their toxic personalities are compounded by the fact that several of them have created fake DL personas that they use to gain trust and positive recognition, but then someone you'll know as a "nice lady who loves cats" will suddenly post "gay men are responsible for allowing trannies to literally murder real women in jails and bathrooms and I don't think I'll ever forgive them, it's best if they die out" (that's an actual example) and that starts to wear on people. They think, hey, this person gave me a lovely bread recipe, they said my cat was cute, now they're telling me I'm responsible for the deaths of all women and they want me dead?

Found a group of these alt-right interlopers on one of their little hatefest threads yesterday where they were so miserable they were literally talking about offing themselves because SJWs exist. One of them even posted a video of some sad song and said they'd see everyone on the other side.

Now, I'm an asshole, I think rightwing fuckheads being miserable is the height of hilarity, but I think most normal people on DL are probably overwhelmed by the constant stream of maudlin negativity, and because a majority of DLers either won't or don't understand how to use ignore in a way that would make their experience better, they just soak in negativity for the entire time they're here.

Of course, it follows that they start lashing out, too. Some days you can't even crack a joke without a half-dozen DLers screaming and frothing at you because they're so unhappy they didn't even recognize that it WAS a joke.

There's no solution to it unless someone starts moderating for real, rather than what happens here: no moderation for a couple years straight and then suddenly, in a fit of spite, banning a whole bunch of people including those who didn't actually do anything wrong, then "fixing" a technical problem by breaking it or turning it off.

A musical theatre and American history festival?

[quote]Spoiled little white twinks.

There hasn't been a twink here since 1952.

Good post, R116. I am ok with different opinions and different points of view What I find dreary about DL is the virulent abusive attacks that are way out of proportion to the issue at hand. They add nothing, even if others agree with them. I block them right away.

[quote]Without realizing, I discovered I've blocked over 100 people on this site.

Spoiler alert: It was probably only 8 people, but they're responsible for 100 separate accounts.

Marry me, R40.

Agreed, OP. It's a reminder as to why, other than my partner, I don't associated with other gay men anymore. Unchecked mental illness runs deep in them and they're often the biggest bigots I've ever come across.

Op is the type who hates white people and especially germans. Facts about hitler:

1. He saved his jewish doctor 2. Nonsmoker 3.animal lover 4.vegetarian 5.loved by his secretaries ,drivers, cooks,security even after the war 6.hated communism

R123 brings Hitler into everything.

OP, your therapist warned you that this would happened when you quit taking drugs. Happy now, bitch?

[quote]absolute aversion towards helping anyone less fortunate than they

I'm guessing the poster for this is one of the "pay for my gender confirmation surgery (and miscellaneous expenses because I am unemployed)" grifting trolls.

Look, OP: I don't know about you, but I'm in the middle of a pandemic, and I can barely keep up with my eyedrops and dusting. So I turn to DL for refreshment and do NOT want to be addressed in an accusatory tone by some twat.

OK?

Very astute R116.

OP, fuck your misandry and homophobia disguised as concern trolling. Die in a fucking HOLOCAUST of grease fires!

Very thoughtful and accurate assessment R116.

I scrolled without reading just to give R27 the recognition and WW he/she has earned and richly deserves! 😂😂😂 Thank you for summing up my own feelings about this thread.

OP, I hear you, too. It’s awful finding out how terrible the world is sometimes...definitely has not been fun watching everything fall apart. You can get both attitudes here though. People have always been harsh and sarcastic here to a fair extent. There are also some caring and thoughtful people here too, sometimes they are both.

[quote]I imagine that group of people to be a mix of washed up drag queens who think that negativity based shtick is still funny or relevant

That's funny, since there's an active AMA thread right now, created by one of the queens from RuPaul's Drag Race, who is reading her detractors to filth:

R132 if by "reading her detractors to filth" you mean posting irrelevant random insults, then yes.

Right on, r102 and r116.

Yes, as a DL subscriber that goes back to the time when "Politics" and "Gossip" were separated (futile effort) into their own forums ( plus "Flames and Freaks") and knows that one motto of the DL has been "The place that was so much better...", you're both correct.

Since Trump was elected, there is a marked, obvious, diminishment in wit; in subtle, smart shade delivered by the sharpest rhetorical stiletto, and in just plain old smart observations.

I blame an infestation of right-wing trolls who have tipped the scales of this place to where, once, one scale held, say "Peg", a Repug, pro-Bush, John Kerry and Hillary Hater who was at least somewhat smart and entertaining in her posts and a random assorted others of her political ilk, to now, where it's just a lot stupid moronic Trump Trolls who make shallow observations delivered with all the stealth of a hand grenade.

[quote]it’s not conducive for building actual multifaceted conversations and actually getting to the bottom of interesting topics.

Okay toots, what interesting topics need bottoming? Pull out your list and lets take a gander.

I dunno about everyone else OP, but I’m in a foul mood because I’m getting wafts of a vaguely fishy vinegar smell whenever you stand close.. Please wash yourself and hurry along; you’ll want to be ready in time for Mass at 5.

For those of you who didn't have 17th century lit in college, let me suggest you read about the coffee house poets, journalists and pamphlet writers of late 1600s to early 1700s London. Dryden, Pope, Johnson, et al. They regularly eviscerated in print their rivals and enemies. They and Jonathon Swift, Henry Fielding and others were the last word in gossip, politics, bitterness, enmity and insult.

There's a fair amount of wit on DL. I feel free to post honest thoughts. I try not to insult, but sometimes it seems appropriate or defensive. No need for censorship or hairshirting.
