I'm on the side of not bullying folks for ultimately harmless things. When it comes to dating, it just wouldn't be my thing... but I'm a married man so that doesn't truly matter either, lol.
And yet you’re literally saying that someone liking a stuffed animal is a sign of arrested development. “I’m not bullying them but I am saying that they’re a little broken and don’t think they should be taken seriously” is so much more a showcase of your own deeply flawed character than theirs.
There's 'liking' like one likes video games and movies and jogging and whatnot, and there's being obsessed about something that shallow and consumerist. I'm obviously talking about the latter, and while it does say something about them (enough for me not to consider them as a partner for instance) it doesn't make them "bad people", not at all, so one should be gentle if they find themselves in a situation like visiting a romantic interest's home, finding 50 stuffed animals and deciding against continuing. Relax.
No one was talking about 50 stuffed animals, not a soul. You just decided to bring it up for some unknown reason like anyone cares at all what you think about your little made-up scenario.
You’re not the person think you are, treating people like this and saying that your quieter tone of voice is superior while spouting these nonsense opinions and putting more unnecessary negative energy into the world for no other reason than stroking your own ego.
Take care, lady.
Telling that you think I, a 6’-5” cishet male, am a woman when all you have is this conversation.
Big.fuckin’.oof.
