I hate when someone writes out their opinion on a topic, and people quote it just to go "lol" or post a reaction gif that just dismisses it completely.

Thread titles that start with "So", for example:
"So I just watched Sesame Street for the first time...
"So Apple just released a new iPhone"
"So I'm going to be a father"
Etc.

Naw it's like this: most major religions HAVE myths. But Marvel and DC and Joss Whedon have myths too. Religions have things like The Talmud and sharia. The letters in the new testament aren't stories and often aren't even concerned with the supernatural. A religion is more than a set of myths.
Using "mythology" is just as combative as to say "dumb old stories and fairy tales". It's a disrespectful way to write off more than half of humans. "Myth" carries connotation of Greek and Roman mythology which pretty much everyone in the West at least understands to mean quaint stories of a superstitious long-dead people.
Trying to re-appropriate and misapply someone else's vocabulary is just a bummer.
Forum posting habits that annoy me: superior disrespectful attitudes thrown about only to make other people less happy. Spreading derision. World's angry enough without people trying to goad each other.
This thread probably isn't the place. Guess I got sentimental.

I have no idea what definition "most" people mean, but I know that enough people use the definition that I listed , and it should be considered as a definite possibility of what someone means when they use the word when describing religion

Guilty of this to a kind of embarrassing degree.
I'd say I'm working on it but that's not really the case.

I'm annoyed by my own habit of editing my posts 2 to 3 times.
So much this. Nothing aggravates me as much as posters posting the same stupid shit, over and over again, especially when it's due to a misunderstanding that reading the damn OP would clear up. It happens all the time, on both sides of the board. People who do this should be ashamed, and the rest of us think you're idiots.

that's nothing. I edit my posts a good 5-6 dozen times

- Typing "mic drop" or posting a mic drop.gif at the end of one's post. Fuck off with that.
- When point-scoring between two "sides" (why does there even have to be "sides"?) becomes the objective rather than reasoned discussion.
- Conversely, when one tries to discredit an argument purely because numerous people are agreeing with it, so "it's just all them fanboys".
- "I'm contrarian, look at me!"
- "First post GAF" replies for pages and pages and pages.

I hate people who post this image:
It should be banned like some of the other memes. Everytime I see it I just get angry even if it's something I agree with. Something about that image just sets off a fire inside me.
Religions are quaint stories of superstitious still-living people. This isn't goading.
Understanding that more than half of humanity has been grandfathered into superstition at birth is "disrespectful"? It "write
Posts and posters spinning every comment by developers into the console war narrative are extremely tiring to me.
For that matter, I don't like when threads snowball into negativity without posters at least trying to bring some nuance to their comments. Criticism is fine and often deserved, but in a hot topic where most posts amount to one or two sentences praising or hating on a feature it creates such a polarized environment that even minor annoyances become The Worst Thing Ever.

Meh, I sometimes use this or IMO to specifically mark that I'm aware of other opinions being as valid as mine. It's a deliberate, if "unnecessary", way of nuancing my posts, to connect with my comments above.
Yes, I also find this quite annoying.

I hate hate threads.
People who quote the OP, the whole OP, with images and everything. Like nobody would know what your talking about if you didn't quote it.
At least take the majority of the crap out of the quote.
People constantly quoting one post over and over again just to give pointless responses like: lol, dead, nailed it, etc.

It largely depends on how you express yourself. You don't have to believe that a religious person's opinions are worthy of respect, but you should still treat the people who hold those opinions respectfully. Not because they are religious, but because they are people.
Anyway, this thread isn't for debates about religion, it's for people to let off a little steam. Relieve some pressure on the boiler.
I imagine they're saying "aw yes" with like a strong foreign accent or something.
Then sometimes I think they're saying "awww yeeeaaahhhsss", but were actual foreigners so they misunderstood it as 'aw yiss'.

This is very much what I feel.
I am not a religious person myself, and have been burned by religious folk in the past. But simply because someone believes in something I don't doesn't mean I think less of them. If it works for them, it works for them!
"It's all starting to add up now, isn't it? The levitation... the evil book reading... them cream cookies you always eating. You a damn witch."
For how many posts happen on gaming side, there is very little analysis and discourse on how game mechanics or gameplay actually meld together in a game. Most of the time its opinions being shot out of keyboard taps and mouse clicks. Some criticism for games amounts to people posting one sentence, with a concept or term being thrown in and its to be assumed that one concept or term should be considered terrible just cause.
Tons of people on NeoGaf love to shit on paid videogame writers, but when given a platform or stage to discuss games, a lot of people don't say anything meaningful or new. Its possible to present any idea or concept in this gigantic forum, any perspective can be argued for at any time. Yet with this freedom a lot of posts amount to opinion championing or shaming.
Another issue is the rabid mentality of promoting one thing while shit talking another separate thing. "The Witcher absolutely shits on Mass Effect" "Saints Row is what GTA used to be, fun."
Most of the time discussions feel moot because there isn't a common ground. Very few people admit positive things about games they don't like, while at the same time they don't mention glaring issues in games they do enjoy.

Posting memes, both verbal and visual, and dumb slang like "feels" is incredibly annoying to read. Everybody ends up sounding exactly the same and it's not remotely funny or compelling to post something we've seen 10,000 times before. Also, threads full of generic reaction gifs with no other content in the post.

My husbands mother thinks very much along those lines, to the point that she accused me of being an evil witch that cast a spell on her darling child.
Seriously.
I am not sure if it is because I am not religious or because I am Native.

I really dislike some of these crazy gaming OPs and the pages of people saying how great they are.
Being annoyed is part of NeoGaf's charm. If something is annoying, the main goal is to shut down or dominate someone by arguing and debating extremely well. Diplomacy is another trait that's needed.
True.

I personally enjoy a good ol' fashioned dog-pile.
