edit: now it's a meme and we can all hug in the comments.
Guy across the street spent the weekend putting up Halloween decorations with his daughter. We can this guy "Heavy metal dad" because year round he displays pentagram flags, and wears heavy metal band shirts with the sleeves cut off all year. It's great.
“Let people enjoy things”
No
Pumpkin Spice Lattes are good and also the official drink of hexbear.net (the other ones are good too).
Hexbears in this thread having a knee-jerk contrarian reaction to the "let people enjoy things" sentiment even though nobody actually has a problem with any of these things lmao.
Costco has Christmas decorations up already actually
Halloween decorations now are fine, it's the Thanksgiving and Christmas decorations infringing on Halloween that are the problem.
It's ridiculous that Christmas decorations and shopping starts popping up in stores 4 months early in September (late August in some cases). No other holiday is like that. It's like seeing Valentine's Day stuff out in November or Halloween out in July. Personally, I feel oversaturated and sick of Christmas by the time it actually arrives.
No. I'm not happy so nobody else is allowed to be.
Only hate the really early Halloween decorations at the store when they take away summer things early. Sometimes I need a new pool float in late august...
But how else will I feel superior and generally much more intelligent than other people?
Yes to everything except the advocados. I hate superfoods and what they do to the soil.
No
no Christmas music allowed until mid December
Sure.
Those same people could also accept criticism of all of the above (regarding D&D, I won't just accept criticism of the game system, I will join in and rant for hours about what a hot mess 4th Edition was) without tying it to their identities to the point of getting enraged when consumer products (or the means used to make them) are criticized as if it is an attack on themselves.
We should. Yes please.
