Subject: Why do you hate (Apple, Sony, Call of Duty etc...)

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

I have always wondered why so many people hate products and companies they are not compelled to buy.

Case in point: You see posts that show someone hating Apple so badly that they say they want to see the whole company go out of business, so they will never have to see an Apple product again. This argument also works for Infinity Ward and Call of Duty.

Why?

I get a strong opinion on comparing a product to your chosen brand, but why wish that competition to be turned out on the streets?

Are you the type of person that can't conceive of another person having a different brand preference than you?

And saying that Apple over charges makes no sense, since you aren't obligated to buy anything from Apple. So, it makes no difference how much they charge, you weren't going to give them any money anyways.

So, please explain why you hate products so much that you wish the company to go out of business.

I don't hate anything.

Hate requires more energy than I'm willing to give.

For all questions with answers unknown to you, the proper procedure is to assume the answer is peanut butter.

While that may be true, I'm just going to pretend otherwise.

I hate Halo 4 because it isn't fun, and I wasted $60 on it. Is that a good enough reason?

I don't hate, I dislike intensely.

When did I hate Apple, Sony, and Call of Duty??

"Apparently people don't like the truth, but I do like it; I like it because it upsets a lot of people. If you show them enough times that their arguments are bull-blam!-, then maybe just once, one of them will say, 'Oh! Wait a minute I was wrong.' I live for that happening. Rare, I assure you."-Lemmy of Motorhead

Yes, I'm the guy who had the Flood admit to being furries.

Apple just seems to have become a monopoly and their products are very pricy for the subpar hardware they have, and their software is also terrible, itunes has blue screened my computer twice now.

The answer for CoD is obvious, it's beating a dead horse, soon it will be beating the skeleton.

A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.

I dislike Microsoft because Europeans pay same amount of money for Xbox Live, but don't get same features as people in North America do.

I don't have strong dislike to games like Call Of Duty, I'm more saddened to see that the game wasted so much potential with it's bad choices of gameplay and such, but it's my opinion and obviously a lot of people disagree (Numbers don't lie).

I wouldn't say I hate any company or video game, too strong word to use at this context.

People hate Sony?

I do. I hated working for them. To be fair though, I'd probably hate Microsoft if I worked for them. Freaking tech support sucks...

It's not the product I can't stand; it's the people who buy/use the product. That makes me not want to buy/use the product so I don't have to be associated with those types of people.

Not the companies I hate, more their fanbases. And I don't hate Sony, they make quality TVs.

I don't hate things. It's just my preferences and opinions.

I don't hate them. However, I dislike Call Of Duty. I used to like it, but got sick of it.

I hate Apple, but don't think they should go out of business. I dislike their product being expensive, and hate the aesthetics of their design. I think they are vastly overrated and you are paying double for something more pretty.

As for Call of Duty, I dislike the twitch gameplay, and the fact that when you die, 90% of the time, there is nothing you could have done to prevent it. It focuses too much on speed rather then strategy. If the game played slower, (bullets deal less damage, movement speed decrease, etc) by 5-10% I'd love it. But it is too clustery and busy for my adhd mind to filter without being shot.

"That's about all that can be said for plots, which anyway are just one thing after another, a what and a what and a what.

Now try how and why."

I like to hate because hate is an easy way for me to sound and feel intelligent. This is doubly true when I use vague and unqualified language that communicates next to no info about the product.

Bonus points for when I use distortions of arguments formed by people who know much more about the issue than me. After all, it made them seems smart, so it should make me sound smart.

I don't dislike Sony or Call of Duty, but Apple as a company annoys me. I like their products for the most part. I like the iPod, and the iPhone, while expensive, is pretty cool.

I just don't like Apple as a company. I don't like that people buy Apple products because it is the cool thing to do. Apple products are freaking expensive. It blows my mind how everyone has an iPhone (I don't have one), considering how expensive they are and that you have to pay for the internet.

Also, I hate their commercials. You can tell when an Apple is commercial is on, because they always have very simple commercials - plain white background, simple, instrumental music. And the voice in the commercials always has some kind of smug voice tone, as if Apple products are better than everything ever, but he's just playing it cool.

I don't like how there are Apple stores. I have never seen a Microsoft or Sony store in a mall (there may be Microsoft or Sony stores, but I haven't seen one).

I don't like that they try too hard to be different. Why can't they just use mp3 format for all their songs?

Same, I found COD to get repetitive and stale. Also, the lies about changes hurt my spirit as well.

You aren't required at all to use their products, why do you care about their commercials?

It's just the guy's smug voice, and something about the commercials are annoying. Like the latest one where the guy says "Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese" and it's so bad it makes me change the channel or mute it.

I only hate companies who can't make anything new and/or sue all their competitors (I'm talking to you, Apple).
