Why read and comment on things you don’t like?

One of my favorite sayings is that some people just aren't happy unless they're unhappy.

I see that alot with cuckold stories. They read the story, give a poor vote, then comment about how much they hate cuckold stories. Well you are the moron who took the time to read, vote, then comment on a story topic you hate. It makes no sense, and is honestly laughable.

At the end of the day, all anyone can do is speculate. I find it odd when people speculate based on their own opinions and preferences though. Like I don't approve of that group, so that group is responsible for all the negative behaviour! Like people in other groups don't do the same thing.

Anyway, some more on topic speculation for you. I have no idea what sort of stories you write, what category or what you're including in it. But I imagine if you're writing in LW and include incest or something that isnt compatible with that sort of story you'd be more likely to get a negative comment.

If its someone insulting you personally, then they are probably insane and should be ignored

That is strange. Same with any topic/category.

That saying goes "the opposite of love is not hate, it's apathy". So they must have been drawn to the story somehow. Personally if I start reading a story I dont like or am not interested in I close it and move on.

Not to mention the obligatory "if that were me I would've kicked the other guy's ass!" If you say so man

That gets old soooo fucking quick. Especially some of the comments I've seen on my first completed series in the LW category. Jesus. These aren't real people! Like, get a grip.

Even worse when I include a note at the beginning to say "observe the tags and category" etc.

imagine I just don’t like pizza. Really don’t like it. And I go to a pizza restaurant and leave a comment saying it is a bad restaurant as I don’t like pizza. Why go and eat there?

Same happened with my story. The tags are clear, you know what you are going to read. Why read it and tell me you hate reading about the things you knew were going to be there?

It is an anonymous comment, so well, never mind. But I do wonder, why does someone do that? Any ideas?

I don’t like heavy metal. Not going to a concert but I do appreciate that someone might like it and leave them to enjoy it.

Love,

Yup Happens to me all the time. One reason I do not like the voting or comments. People make stupid comments with stupid complaints. I've even gone so far as to shut off voting and comments, but to be on Literotica means you have to deal with it I guess. Wish I had an answer. I also think any comment posted should have something positive to say, at least encourage the writer, people are unnecessarily cruel.

I get so tired of the little morality tales cluttering up the LW category lately. I generally don't comment, but jump to the last page and give it a 2. This morning I actually read a story by one of the purveyors of those and made the comment that there so many lately that Lit must have been invaded by the social religious right. My comment was promptly deleted.

I know exactly what you mean. Does a woman out earn her husband? She's going to view him as worthless and try to turn him into some kind of slave. Is a woman educated? She's been brainwashed by some "feminist professor" into thinking cheating is a woman's right. Does she have a male friend? She's going to sleep with him. Does she have a female friend? They're going to urge her to sleep around. Do the main characters see a marriage counsellor? She - always a woman - will turn out to be some castrating bitch who thinks the husband is to blame for everything. A woman's role in these stories is to care for the home, raise the children, and wait by the door with a cocktail in hand to greet their breadwinner husbands when they get home. Any interests outside of that and they're well on their way to monsterdom, and need to be punished accordingly.

It's utterly exhausting to keep seeing this mentality, it makes so little room for authors exploring anything else to really get off the ground.
