Is Hate Blinder than Love?

Ah, ninnies. When are they going to get it?

Poor, downtrodden victims of themselves. They luuuurve calling the “we’ve been attacked” card, but take no accountability for their own actions.



True to life. We look like this. For realz.

Over the weekend, one of the contributors to the nonsten.com, even took to the tumblr waves to rant about the difference in “hate” and “dislike.”


According to the author, “ ‘hate’ connotes a depth of feeling. You have to care about the subject to feel that emotion. ‘Dislike’ simply refers to something unpleasant that you could do without.”
                                                           
Aye, there’s the rub… and the ninnies’ single greatest fallacy. The one thing THEY STILL DON’T GET!

You see, if a person doesn’t like someone, or something, usually they dismiss that someone or something with a very casual air. It’s simply not on their radar screen, is not acknowledged in any way.

We don’t like mustard. We don’t put it on our sandwiches. We don’t like Pepsi. We don’t drink it. We think sequined Uggs are about the worst fashion statement since stirrup pants. But will we be buying any? You do the math.




The same can be applied to celebrity culture as well. A few of us here at BWAN (oh yes, there are several of us), were discussing this some time ago, and came up with a pretty hefty list of celebs we really don’t care for, or, in Ninnie Terms, “dislike:” Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Aniston, Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears, Justin Bieber, Rachel Ray (omg do we can’t stand Rachel Ray. Is there anyone more annoying on earth that Rachel Ray?), Paris Hilton, Perez Hilton, Kim Kardashian, John Mayer, that douchey Kriss Angel magician freak-boy from Las Vegas, Megan Fox, Mel Gibson, Charlie Sheen, even Sienna Miller (yeah, we went there).

But where oh where do you see any of us trashing any of the aforementioned with recurrence of ptomaine-induced diarrhea as the ninnies shit all over Kristen?





Nowhere.


Why? Because it doesn’t exist. That’s not to say a snarky comment or two doesn’t pop out every now and again (let’s not even start discussing Kim Kardashian’s 72-day marriage), but in general, we follow the construct that if we don’t like something, it simply doesn’t exist to us. End. Of. Story.

The REASON nonstens exist in the first place is NOT because of their collective admiration for Rob. No! The whole “nonsten” movement started as an offshoot of the fandom when one particular blog decided it no longer wanted to support negative commentary about Kristen, and those commenters had to go elsewhere.


That’s right. An entire sect of the fandom was created over “dislike.” Twitter accounts have been established, tumblrs blogs set up, and even friendships have been formed over people’s mutual “dislike” of Kristen.


Most rational people we know, heck, most REASONABLE people we know, wouldn’t deign to consider the construct of a forum dedicated to trashing an actress an act of “dislike.”


Given ninnie logic, since we’ve confessed our dislike for so many celebrities, we should start our own “Nonfer” or “NonChel” website, and start tweeting and tumblring about how ugly they are, and talk about how they have penises, and make lude comments about their perceived sexuality.







Even ninnies themselves have claimed their dislike for other actresses: Patricia Arquette, Julia Roberts and Eva Mendes, among them.

But where are the rant tweets about those actresses in their lives? Where are the epithets disparaging those celebrities? Where are the private message boards and tumblrs and blog posts dedicated to discrediting those actresses?


There are none. Because they just “dislike” them.


So, tell us again how you “dislike” Kristen, how you cannot harbor “hate” because by hating her, you acknowledge you have feelings for her?


How you moan and piss and bitch about her at every opportunity? How you follow her film schedules, dissect articles where she’s been interviewed and comment on each magazine or paparazzi photo that comes out on her
because you have no feelings? How you criticize each and every word that comes out of her mouth, and rant about every dress she’s in for every red carpet appearance because you have no feelings?

How on PRSten (yes, we know PRSten), you deleted over 500 posts dedicated to her
because you have no feelings?

We’d say you have feelings a’plenty. And we have (as evidenced before) your own words to prove it.


So, keep on with that “dislike.” You’re doing one hell of a job.

  1. Exactly. I think Miley Cyrus is annoying in general. But if you want go on my Twitter, any account I have. You won't see me trashing her because her personality and sometimes her actions or words are full of stupidity.

    I'm not keen on Jennifer Anniston. All I see from her is an actress in romantic comedies.

    The Kardashians are a bunch of famewhores. But I barely ever mention them. I don't go towards the negatives. When I'm on the internet, I believe in following something that's positive. Otherwise might as well cancel the internet broadband and just live in the outside but the real world without the internet.

    I made a post on tumblr actually today. My first post:

    They repeat that they have a right to their opinion, yet an opinion is something you may share every once in a while. Not something you share every day, every week, every month as the Nonsten's do. And the proof of that is Nonsten's head on over to the Nonsten Confessions Tumblr posting something everyday, every week, every month.

    They're obsessed with HATING.

  2. From what I read too over the internet:

    Hate is an emotion. Dislike is a feeling.
    You can dislike PART of someone's personality but when you hate someone you hate everything about them.

    It's easy to distinguish that a Nonsten hates, since most of them say, "I'm NEVER going to like Kristen even if Rob marries and has millions of babies with her." They've already decided. So even if Kristen changed, they still wouldn't like her. They're haters. And I wish they'd admit it.

    An example of an opinion is a favourite pizza topping. Do you hear anyone everyday as the Nonsten's do about Kristen, saying what their favourite pizza topping is? When someone becomes obsessed as they are, they'll talk about it everyday.

    I'm sick too of how they keep thinking their fans. Great they pay for a cinema ticket to view Rob's movie after throwing a tantrum (WFE premiere and Kristen as his guest which they were pissed about), but they spend more time hating on Kristen than they do about spreading the love for Rob's work.
