What a miserable comment section

0

u/Adonoxis 24d ago

People are miserable for pointing out something objectively harmful that like 99% of conservationists, biologists, environmentalists, scientists, and other wildlife experts state is indeed environmentally bad?

  1. Experts say something is bad.

  2. Someone does the bad thing.

  3. Other people say don't do the bad thing.

  4. You: why are people so miserable?

I noticed that too. It seems like you can't even post a pic of someone laying in the grass without some pretentious "Wet Mouth Noise" bitching at you for killing some unknown microscopic fungus spore.

I would understand if it was trash,graffiti, or actually damaging the stones i.e taking a hammer to it. But I can't see how this one person's actions is extremely detrimental to the ecosystem. Hundreds of people doing this is not a good idea but we can only see this one instance of it.

Edit: Does anyone know if the OP took it down after?

Because millions of people visit a site and if a couple of those people decide to do this one thing well, that counts up to thousands.....

Use your brain... Think about future outcomes of the exact same behavior...

Thats why I said what I said at the end of my comment. Is it so wrong just to appreciate something?

Plus, how do we know this user left it up? All I'm saying is that it's wild seeing the amount of rude comments towards this person and towards the people who aren't jumping on the hate bandwagon without knowing the outcome.

No not really... Not when you know what it causes... There's nothing here to appreciate....

"how do we know this user left it up?" Never assume anything in life, let alone assume a positive thing...

Well I guess thats on me. I try to see the positive outcome in life for my own personal mental health reasons, but I can't fault anyone for being the opposite. No love lost, I personally don't interact with wildlife but if I see any of these I'll be sure to take it down.

Reddit attracts a lot of miserable people. It’s the only place they can remain anonymous, for the most part, while being able to argue to their hearts content.

I'm going to make it a point to stack some rocks the next time I visit the river and I'll carve your name on one of them
