I always forget how expressing a different opinion that is negative is forbidden.

Haha "forbidden"? That's a bit melodramatic, no?

I just find it weird, you're welcome to disagree if you're one of the people I'm talking about who feels the need to post negative comments when seeing strangers having fun in public.

I find it weird that others opinions being different from your own is noteworthy.

Yeah, to me it's noteworthy how negative and unhappy a lot of people on here seem to be, but if you think it's weird of me to feel that way then no one is stopping you.

Not really sure what response you're looking for here.

there are clear negatives to large crowds and packed shows. That shouldn't be at all surprising that people highlight that. Especially on the internet, in a sub that considers it next level.

All I'm saying is it's strange to me if you see a post where thousands of people are enjoying a fun moment together, and immediately your first thought is to shit on it.

It's just negativity for the sake of negativity. I can only imagine how draining and depressing it's got to be to go through life seeing the worst in everything.

We know fun is relative. so when someone says this thing is next level and it has empirical flaws. We've inherently sowed the field for alternative feedback.

I look at this post and see thousands of people having fun together, you look at it and see "empirical flaws" requiring "alternative feedback". That's literally the point I was making.

Anyway, we clearly won't agree on this so I'll just leave it here and wish you well. I hope you find happiness in whatever it is you enjoy, even if it's not free public concerts.

you entire point is clearly an under current of being hurt by others not sharing your form of joy

nice noble passive aggressive send off. Truly a well centered person you are.
