Description Some popular beliefs are good, but some are bullshit. And yes, it's bullshit because popular belief isn't always right.
In fact, some causes harm and can lead to violating the Golden Rule; Freedom without interference?
Some also think that "fetishes" are "gross" (as an argument) just because of a popular belief about them.


===============

Anyway, depending on popular belief in an argument is one of the things that slows the world down from evolving. Unless lucky, certain popularity is right.

I also like to share that there is some people who can't learn to argue and refuse to take criticism because they depend on popular belief. The thing that prevents change. - Some change is good, some is bad.

I also remember defending my own rights to believe in personal spirituality, then I got attacked for them. After one made a horrible journal responding to what I was experiencing, etc. I stood up for myself, and it got worse. More people went against me, etc.
What I stood for was showing the fact that their is evidence for multiverse, logic in theory, evidence that there is 'no matter', but energy, evidence for other stuff, etc.
And all they did was depend on popular belief instead of science and/or other valuable arguments, and acted like they "won" when they didn't and pretended their pseudoscience and bias opinions were "fact" as if they know the beyond and think it was "OK" to call people "delusional" for just having faith that something could be real, etc.
Which is no different than believing you are a soul and not the body.
Why did they do that? Probably because some beliefs were considered a 'term' that's 'frowned upon' by some majority somewhere. Even though there can actually be reason for the term even though some majority is idiotic toward it. - It can connect to other things.

They were like:
"BAW, spirityual should be limtied!!" "You are not a legit spirauzs" "you are delusionazl!", etc.
And their only so called "excuse" was something like "people will look down upon you, therefor, you lost, you are wrong, etc."



Stupidity is one of the reasons as to why we don't evolve.

It's not just that, but I've had arguments with the same idiotic people about other things and of course, they depend on what others think and only that.
Oh and if they have personal opinion matching it too maybe.


I like to let people know that these people I've dealt with don't know how to debate, they act bigoted toward people's own beliefs and pretend their personal opinions are "fact" over others. They are whiny bigots who thinks they are always right, etc. just because they want to, and when they try to prove their point, they fail.
Even though, they feel like they won, but never did.
That's what a lot of people are like.
Tons of people prefer emotion over actual reasoning, many people depend on popular belief over reasoning, and many people just pretend their personal opinion are "fact" because they 'said so'.

Speaking of stupidity, I also sense that people are forgetting the fact that words can sometimes tie to other words too. Example: Otherkin can sometimes (I mean the type of people who think they could transform their own soul as a possibility and faith, like anything, this may not even be considered Otherkin, but I'm not sure) be connected to spiritual thoughts, which is connected to something that is more scientific, experiences, etc. and other stuff such as other meanings. That's not crazy.




Anyway, I sometimes feel "we" (general popularity) are going to fail more and collapse. I can feel it a bit because back then on the Internet, the criticism against Copyright made a lot of sense, many people had good criticism for other things, etc. Now I don't see that amazing criticism these days and instead, see a bunch of non-sense, twisted, beliefs that make no sense. I could be wrong, and maybe it's currently quiet, but I don't know.

Also, opinions can be argued.
Example on why:

"An argument can be defined as an opinion that is supported with evidence."

Suggestion: while its great to defend your beliefs, to dwell on them on almost every stamp can get old for others and maybe even see you as a crybaby.
I am not saying defending yourself = crybaby, nor am I calling you one, I am just saying dwelling on something, anything, for too long can give the impression to others. Like, if you saw me dwell over and over again on what you once said that offended me, it would get old xD 
Perhaps a new example would be better? Or start with by giving the subject a break for a while. After all, there is no point on making new stamps if they all say the same thing. 
To make this suggestion more light hearted, here is an example: Elsa dwelled on her magic for too long and brought on a forever winter.

Interesting.. Though, I don't think I made a stamp directly about this subject before though.
I mean I talked about 'popular =/= auto-win' but not as a stamp.

Unless you are talking about that part of the info under it?

Its less about the stamp subject and more about the story I have seen you say quite a lot now xD 
the one about the people saying you cannot believe in rencarnation and whatnot. Even if your stamp is not about that, if someone who just met you was starting to read your stamp descriptions, they would see that same rant over and over again. One only needs to say something a few times until they get to the point.
Thats why I have stopped making any pro fur/pro hunting stuff, because I said what I needed to say, and have moved onto other stuff. Same with some LGBT things, especially since its legal in the Americas now xD

I think I see what you mean.
I guess for me, I feel like I've haven't reached out to a lot of people or wanted to refresh compared that you don't have as much pressure.
And huh, I didn't know you hunt?
Oh well, I guess I will try to tame this down. Maybe next time I'll try to use another example or make up an example. I might still use the example, but probably link to it more instead of re-saying it in different words a lot? xD

Thanks for the feedback. xD

It may not seem like you have, but you would have. Reaching out to one person can be the same as reaching out to a hundred. One person reads it, they carry the idea onto two people, and it keeps spreading.
Like, if you sneeze on someone you could infect a million after that, thats why the small amount of people suffering from ebola are put in hospitals far away from everyone else  

I do not hunt. I just support it. For a time, I would talk about the fact people are being fed the wrong information on fur and hunting, so I would say the truth. Once I got everything out, I did not need to talk about it anymore, so I have moved onto other stuff, and only ever really talk about it when the subject arises

A link to it would be much better. I find that I get tired of talking about the same thing over and over so I just put "if you wanna see an explanation see *this stamp*".

I think it could depend on the person sadly.. For me, I don't see any spreading much. Like the content could die out?

Well to let you know, I do want non-consent killing of any non-human animal illegal though, unless self-defense. xD
I see, though the subject could also depend on time and pressure, and since I can sense the subject is far less to the type of subject I'm at. Haha

Yeah true. I sometimes feel like I am tired of saying the 'same' thing. Kinda like the 'opinions' arguments stamp I've had before. xD
Though, I do plan to make a 'I'm not a wolfaboo stamp'. It's similar to the 'Wolfaboo myths' stamp but more about myself, but with new stuff (in also a comparison to the 'Myths about me stamp' that wasn't just about Wolfaboo....

It could be spreading elsewhere. Maybe real life, maybe tumblr, anywhere. 

I see. 

Working with something new about the same subject is good

For me, I kinda doubt it. Some things can be forgotten on the Internet, especially in RL. I mean if somebody does wonder, I could just send them links..

Ah alright. (For the last part)
Though I already did say I wasn't a wolfaboo, just that I didn't make a stamp focused on only that.

But remember, negativity spreads faster than positivity. So even if you think you are not wrong for saying stuff and whatnot, that shit spreads fast. Especially if it is about other people. That is why I suggest to take a break from DA for a long while, then shit will die down, and you and everyone will calm down. Like summer holidays after a fight at school. 
I see.

I've seen a user who made a big deal over a fictional character who humps over a table. OVER A TABLE. They said it is wrong.
