Why would you call a particular sign a loser or pathetic?!


Question: Why would you call a particular sign a loser or pathetic!?
I'm curious why this stereotyping has to prevail on here!. Is it beneficial to astrology to encourage negative generalizations!?

Sure, some of you will say it is all in fun to get these silly questions going about sun signs!. But I've noticed that all these type of questions deteriorate into negative bashing!. Before you say that a sign is a loser, that you hate that sign, or that sign is pathetic, do you consider that you could be hurting someone's feelings!?

Why do we have to bash other people's sun signs!? Www@Enter-QA@Com

It's sad, but there's going to be hypocritical behavior in every area of life!.!.!.the astrological community is just a cross section of the general public!.

It's apparently human nature to dislike others for perceived slights, but I suspect deeper investigation will reveal J-E-A-L-O-U-S-Y as a major motivator for this behavior!. For example, in this very thread there's even several attempts at slamming others and veiled references to such!.!.!.

Some of the regular contributors were talking about this very phenomenon just the other day; this is what we came up with:

**sigh!.!.example (the q is legitimate, some of the answers are kinda questionable):

I would add more, but they've been deleted already!.!.!.I just recommend when someone puts up a slam or a rant, it's free game to hit it with the magic button!.!.!.!.**Www@Enter-QA@Com

Most people will probably say not to take it personally!. I know that is correct, but when I see someone going out of their way to say something really cruel about my sun sign, it does make me mad!. Who wants to come here and read that their sun sign is stupid or pathetic!?

I also agree that the balance is off between positive and negative here!. There are far more negative questions and comments than positive ones!. So many questions look intended to bash signs and start fights!.

So no, it does not help this section in any beneficial way, because it demeans the study of astrology!. Www@Enter-QA@Com

I don't think this is a place for thin skin!. We ask each other's opinions on certain signs, and we're not always going to like or appreciate the answers we get!. But, if we honestly want opinions, we need to expect the negative and positive to come forward!.

If we can't expect negative generalizations, then we shouldn't take heart when we get positive generalizations either!. I try my best not to generalize, but personal experience sometimes takes over my thinking!.

Immaturity and ignorance for the most part!.

But I don't think all these questions calling attention to the negativity are helping!.

I don't agree with bashing, however there are positives and negatives to every sign, so it's wrong to just gloss over that!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

you sound like you're way too into this!.
I've called people losers but not because of their sign!.!.!.because of something they said or their actions!.!.!.or the fact that I can tell they don't get out much then they act like they're all big and bad!.
I honestly don't think people mean to "bash star signs"!. that sounds silly!. I think if you're really debating/discussing over which signs get bashed and how it's not fair then you need to get out more!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Behaviour like adolescents, teens!.!.!.
Cliques and all all that!.
The ego has not been fully developped yet so one has to feel superior by putting others down instead of venturing outside the box and try to get some understanding!.
Some adults are the same mind you!.!.!.!.!.!.just look at the R and S section !

It is a matter of "us" versus "them"!.

Same when you see some so-called knowledgeable people in astro bashing others!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Could you see them as counsellors !?!?!?!?

Funny when the offenders themselves call the offendees offenders !!Www@Enter-QA@Com

I wouldnt ever call a sign a loser or pathetic!. Maybe a person that is of that sign, but not the sign in general!. For example a loser bi+ch here that makes multiple accounts that bashes other signs then she jumps in defending them trying to act like a hero!. psh!. that's what i call pathetic!. and she just happened to answer this question before me!.!.

edit: shady: yeah have fun with your 24525 accounts! thanks for having me on your mind!. ~lol!. I will take your *yawn* as an agreement!. whatever!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I don't think anyone should get hurt over the generalization of a person's sign!. We don't personally know you!. People on here are talking about the most common characteristics of a sign!. But everyone is different!. I know some Scorpio's who have no tempers!. But according to astrology, we should fear them when they're mad!. Just laugh it off!. It's not meant to offend any one person!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I don't call other people's sign a loser or pathetic!. I call the INDIVIDUAL a loser or pathetic!. To label a whole sign as a loser and so on!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. is stupid because you can't judge people based on their sun sign!. I'm a big believer in astrology but I don't generalize people!. If someone is acting like an idiot or shows ignorance I don't automatically blame it on their sign!. I blame it on that person in particular!. Has nothing to do with the sign!. Some people are just losers and are pathetic, but I don't think it's right for anyone out there to stereotype everyone under that same sign as being the same way!.

people who bash a certain sun sign is secretly just somebody who hates astrology!.!.!.and is using this science to insult or make others feel inadequate!.

they are proud of what their sign says, but they really don't care about other's signs!.!.!.or the full natal chart that makes us unique!.

they are just fixated on bashing others simply because they believe they know alot about astrology!.!.!.when really!.!.they don't know sh*t!.

a smart person with common sense would take the whole chart under consideration and take time to understand each sign and it's ups and downs!.

obviously this world is over flowing with negative, ignorant ppl that don't give a damn about other people's feelings!.!.!.so they decide to bash other people's signs out of spite and jealousy!.

I see it as pure ignorance!. Generalizing only proves a lack of knowledge of astrology!. Yes, I agree that we have free will and the right to our opinions, and you can't crawl under a hole every time you see something you don't like!.!.!.!.but what I hate is the fact that people assume that the world is divided into twelve, and that their personal experience is the end all be all!. I'm sorry, but just because you have known a bunch of people that are a certain way, I don't care if it has been 50 people, that is still not enough to document the whole world!. The whole birth chart takes an effect, as well as the environment someone was raised in, and the experiences they have had!.

I would say that the only reason people do this is to put up a wall and hide behind their own insecurities!. They like to ego stroke and make themselves feel good, and by bashing a particular sign that they do not like, they protect themselves from the worry that they may have this bad experience again!. Fool me twice, shame on me, right!? So they are now guarded against this sign, and must find all ways to distance them as much as possible!. "I must warn the others!" They think!.

What gets me is this fallacy of logic that everyone has!.!."Oh, I'm a Sagittarius and I have had a bad experience with Leos!.!.!.therefore it must be a terrible match!. This relationship will not work for anyone"!. That to me is really just pure ignorance, and the inability to think outside of yourself!.

Edit: It's not the textbook generalizations that bother me as much as the ones that people create themselves!. People make up things that have nothing to do with the Sun sign in the first place based off of their own biased opinions!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
