Don't Stereotype or Generalize Us

[Goldrinn]

That's the internet. It's a monster.

Learn to ignore it, or at least live with it, and you'll do a lot better.

Assumptions are ignorant as are the people who make them.....I'm making this thread because lately I've seen a large amount of threads/posts that are assuming various things about the people of Naruto Base.....Such as but not limited to "Everyone on NB is a virgin" "Everyone on this site is a loser" "Why are there so many no life's?" Now I take personal offense to this because it's wrong to assume things about people you don't know....Whereas their may be some people who fits those labels however we all don't....But to stereotype people who like Anime and Manga is wrong, to stereotype in general is wrong and all I'm saying is try to generalize less because people are individuals are none of us are the same.....We're here to read/watch Naruto not be bashed for liking it......

the people that bash us for whatever reason, they either:

1} enjoy doing it
2} are very bored
3} or thats what they are and they are ashamed of who they are.

 

[Mephistopheles]

and you shouldnt open a thread like this doing so people will rag on you even more so.

That can be so, but that's his decision. If he wants to share his thoughts with NB let him be. It's better than all those "madara is.." etc. threads.

 

[Olorin]

there are many stereotypes but only idiots actually believe them

 

[Jack Spicer]

Haters gonna hate.


That's how you make it in real life, and easily on a forum.

Good little quote, huh? Haters gonna hate.


Anyways, just chill.

(here ya go dude, all known sterotypes. we will always be sterotyped our entire lives)

 

[Inch]

Don't get trolled. O_O

 

[Sonne]

A Stereotype is derived from the statistics of the Majority of people,most people on NarutoBase are hardly 13 years old.
When you have 10-11 Hours online per day,that is where you have no life whatsoever.
No-one will call you a no life,if you have not proven otherwise,no-one will call you a loser,if you have not proven otherwise.

 

[Professor Sarutobi]

people like you only generate more generalization and stereotyping. what's funny is the fact that you're taking this serious enough to make a damn thread about it.

my question is, do i give a single ****?
