    So we someone famous is sick or dies we're supposed for feel on way or another? The creator of Sponge Bob was diagnosed with ALS and maybe if it was on some other topic I would haven't even bothered to comment, but it was on a topic I created and it's not secret I've got no tact. My real name is Robert, I go by Bob at times. I simply stated I don't feel sorry for the guy.

    Why should I have sympathy for a guy who gave fuel to people who would torment me. Whether he meant it or not, it doesn't change what his actions did. So no I don't feel bad about his diagnoses. Did I wish it on him, no, but I don't care one way or the other that he has it.

    Have there been times you've been told to feel one way or the other about things? Do you think it's fair to attack someone for having a different opinion?

    Yeah, this happens to me a lot.

    I voted for Trump. I think Caitlyn Jenner is just as big a piece of crap as Bruce Jenner was. I believe trophies are only for winners. And I don't give a damn about the starving orphans in Africa.

    I catch a lot of crap for my opinions, and so far, not a single one of them has been changed by insulting or attacking me.

    This is basically how I feel ALL THE TIME when it comes to my opinion on here and other MLP: FiM forums.

    Especially in regards to Starlight, Discord, and Trixie.

    Everyone praises them and then when I state how much I dislike/hate them I get bashed and confronted about it and everyone expects me to love them and everyone tells me how to feel about them.

    Nobody expects you to love them, but we DO expect you not to be a whiny, entitled little manchild about it.

    In truth, there have been a few times honestly. The most recent is my Grandmother's death on my Dad's side. I'm expected to care enough to go to a life draining church mass and stand outside at a funeral. The funeral being the hellish part due to it being in northern Illinois and at the point, it was snowing and bitter cold. Truthfully, I would of appreciated if I had the option to attend or not. But because it's direct family, I was forced to go whether I liked it or not. Yeah, it sucks my grandma died, but I seriously could care less about the part of burying her ashes. It's the biggest waste of money, and quite frankly a waste of everyone's time to attend.

    Though as far as forced opinions go, I don't get those a lot because of how much I try to keep to myself.

    Aah, this brings me back to my old politics blog on tumblr. People accused me of sending death threats to others.

    Because apparently "dont make me rasengan your *squee!* ass" is a death threat.
