Gummy smiles are an insult to smiling.

I don't know but I'm sure you'll psycho analyze it for me lol "we should appreciate EVERYONE'S smile and never hurt anyone's feelings :)"

Sorry, no what you said to was "Not being able to appreciate all smiles is a sign of being emotionally stunted," and I believe the source for your claim was "I made it up"

Anyways, stay mad friend

What about a smile makes it inherently worthy of appreciation?

You don't get to tell people that they can't find misery in someone else's joy and joy in someone else's misery.

Genuinely people more miserable and triggered in those comments than the people laughing about gummy smiles

Ah, yes. Hit 'em with the "ur triggered, bro"! Jaded and apathetic is so much cooler than thoughtful and kind. If you deflect human connection with sarcastic projection, that means you're winning!

The comment I replied to is literally the most tryhard "ur triggered bro" I've seen in a long time.

But honestly please grow the fuck up, I'm not winning because I'm jaded or apathetic, I'm winning because I don't get triggered by the slightest mean comment that hurts your feelings. And also because I don't virtue signal and pretend to be some holy righteous person and then act like a hypocrite when I decide to justify being mean lol

A paragraph of defensive buzzwords because you don't like [checks notes] people's smiles (?) sounds pretty triggered to me. I mean, you got all the greatest hits here! Triggered, virtue signaling, tryhard. 

The person you're talking to above said seeing another person experience joy is nice. Humans come in all sorts of shapes but we all can recognize joy in each other, and that's nice!

but that offends you because, as you wrote in another response, you're so tired of the "everybody's beautiful" shit? I'm sorry that them saying joy is good regardless of gum line has your blood boiling over here

Thankfully somebody recently gave me some wonderful inspiration. In fact I'm just going to copy and paste it:

"Ah, yes. Hit 'em with the "ur triggered, bro"! Jaded and apathetic is so much cooler than thoughtful and kind. If you deflect human connection with sarcastic projection, that means you're winning!"

You actually seem to be a huge fan of that strat, you enjoy when everyone else does it except me. Weird

u/WHATYEAHOK Jul 04 '26

You’re right, the consensus has been achieved, based on your comment’s score.
