Doomers

[Troon Carey]

Being a doomer is ultra-faggotry because the majority of people don't give a fuck if everything is going down the tubes. If you find other people to whine about teh world ending with then good for you but don't act surprised that most peeps prefer to be ignorance / blissful in life. Also optimism doesn't result in dashed hopes, exaggerated expectations do. Lower the bar and you'll be delighted.

Nah, they tend to be 20-40 year old white guys pissed that they're undateable and underemployed, but not stupid enough to be an incel.

That's not the type of Doomer I've encountered (I'm mostly talking about 4chan so, things might vary).
And besides, if someone is undateable, they're an incel. It's not a select group that you decide to be a part of.

 

[Sperghetti]

My personal philosphy has always been a similar state of expecting nothing, because you'll always be either correct or pleasantly surprised. But my issue with doomers is that they always seem to take everything to absolute extremes. They aren't just pessimistic, they're adamant that we're going to be living in a dystopian novel or apocalypse movie very soon, just you wait and see!

And they'll never admit they're wrong, either. I can't tell you how many predicted horrible disasters and ends of the world I've lived through, and every single time it ends up being a mediocre nothinburger. It's not good, certainly, but it's nothing that means everyday life won't go on for most. But the closest doomers ever get to acknowledging this is "well, that doesn't mean something that bad won't happen next time". They're like an anxiety disorder personified. I think on some level, they want the world to actually fall apart because it would make them right for once, and then they could rub it in everyone else's face.

I'm talking about the ones around here, like in the riot thread.

There's two types of doomers

1) The smug doomer that doesn't want to do anything to improve their lot in life while also trying to drag down everybody else
2) The glow doomer that doesn't actually believe anything he says while also trying to drag down the other side

Both are faggots

When they say you can't mop the floor off spilled milk, they just mean they prefer to cry about it.

Personally I'd prefer to let it spoil and watch them trip over.

 

[Boris Blank's glass eye]

Being a doomer often turns into defeatism and fatalism, none of which is healthy.

You seem to be more of a Murphy-type "everything's bound to turn to shit sooner or later, so let's prepare for it" instead of the "oy vey, all is lost, now we lay down and wait for the sweet release of death" type faggot. That said, your sperging RE LEO/military intervention in post-election riots came off as the latter, even if it's probably true. However, IIRC no rioters were killed by police so far.

 

[wtfNeedSignUp]

Doomers get annoying fast both as a joke and actual opinion. If you feel like everything is turning to shit then fucking kill yourself rather than subject me to your sperging on how we're fucked and nothing can be done about it.

 

[DuckofDoom]

The doomers I've encountered, both online and off, are either the "woe is me" drama queen types or are just looking for other doomers to circlejerk with.

 

[Sayon]

There is nothing wrong with recognizing the tragic nature of the universe.

"Tragic" by the way doesn't mean "ugh humans are scum edge im gonna coom." It means that what happens in life happens regardless of will and that the universe is cyclic. That is how the Ancient Greeks saw it.

 

[Clockwork_PurBle]

You can be slightly pessimistic, prepare for the worst, and a realist while not rolling over like a beta wolf and surrendering.

 

[DeadFish]

People have called me a doomer. Uh no. I dont. I have said I believe society is in a slow speed collapse. To me that is sad but it also means there will be freedom to build anew. Every end has seeds of a new beginning.

Because doomers are a void of personality

Because they're not particularly interesting, unique, or enjoyable, they're bad? I can understand the rest of your point, but this is just an odd thing to say, and it's a criticism I've seen levelled at more than just the Doomers. It's a disgusting thought.

What you quoted doesn't make the connection that bad personality = bad person.

 

[Dumpsterfire Enthusiast]

i mean i see nothing wrong with preparing for the worst just in case but when its excessive and done with a whiny bitch mentality then its a bit much

 

[KooksandFreaks]

Back in the day, it was only crazy religious fundies who thought it was the end of the world.

 

[LinkinParkxNaruto[AMV]]

Doomer is just another dumb wojak meme that redditors took hold off and i don´t see it as anything else than emo faggotry rebranded for angsty zoomer teenagers.
