Angerrrrrrrrr

[bpash89]

 

This is a personal little rant.  Sorry.  

I don’t really expect my family to understand my somewhat irrational love for my bunny

My family has never really done indoor pets or anything

So I get that it’s weird to them

But they are such arse$!&$s about it

I posted a picture of her on my facebook

And my siblings thought it would be ‘funny’ to make all kinds of comments about what they wanted to do with her once I decided to ‘get rid of her’

Included which parts to eat and what to make out of the fur

I obviously don’t find that funny

Told them as much

They didn’t stop so then I lost it… 

Angry words were shared… pissed off half the family… the usual

But really

It’s not funny

I told them to stop

They ignored my wishes

And now they are all butthurt over being called a bunch of beotches on a public forum

Don’t act like one and you won’t get the title

But I mean seriously, da $*&! is your problem?

Who does that?

 

[bpash89]

but the autocorrect for cuss words on the forum just made me really happy… beotches… haven’t heard that since the 90s… lol

Don’t blame you for being upset, I took my nephews wife to task over a matter some years ago… She was forewarned that A. I was not in the mood for BS and B. She was on my turf and there was no where to run if she pushed my buttons… But most of the time if someone is bothering me I just block them… Problem solved and they don’t get the pleasure of be able to rile you further if that is their intent.

If someone made a crude or inappropriate comment on one of my photos, I would just delete their comment. I haven’t had to say this yet, but I plan to if I have to in the future: “Any comments that are rude, crude, nasty, or otherwise inappropriate will be deleted. Any comment that glorifies or makes light of hurting animals, makes fun of me for my love of animals, etc… will be deleted”. You can word it however you want, but let people know in no uncertain terms that you will no longer tolerate thoughtless, rude, or inappropriate comments on your page or photos. Obviously they would prefer to get in a flame war with you over this, so don’t stoop to their level, just delete the comments as they appear, don’t reply to them anymore. If they take their rudeness to their own page to get a rise out of you, ignore them. If you have to, block them.

[bpash89]

I’d normally be on board with that but this is family, not random ‘friends’ on facebook. Deleting comments and blocking people will just mean I start getting pissed off phone calls instead. Kinda hard to cut ties with people you share a last name with…

Spoil a picture of a dog on Facebook, and people tell you your dog looks well cared after and is adorable. Post a picture of a rabbit, and people start talking about what part is the yummiest. Ugggg!
All people have things they care about, why is it weird that that, for some people, Is bunnies? People really do need to learn to respect what other people like because words can hurt.

 I know the feeling. I had some dumbass on Facebook comment on one of my photos of Chester saying “Mmmm, rabbit stew”…. I absolutely lost it at him. He was actually shocked at how pissed I was at him. Like seriously, did he expect me to laugh at his so called “joke”?! It’s obvious I love my bunny, so why on earth come on my facebook and say that you want to make rabbit stew?! Smh. Some people are absolute morons 

[Ava]

I definitely wouldn’t want you to break ties with family – or friends- over a few thoughtless comments. But, being family doesn’t give anyone free reign to post rude, hurtful comments on your page or photos. I still think you should put up a post stating your personal feelings towards rabbits and how hurt you were towards certain things said about your loved rabbit. You don’t need to name names or anything like that. You could even keep the post up-beat and positive sounding, but get your point across somehow. Just be polite but firm and state any such *future* comments will be deleted, that will give them a heads up about your position so they won’t be surprised if their *future* comments disappear. I think it’s sad that anyone would think it’s ok to make fun of a friend or family member but get all angry and hurt when they are called out on their rude comments. If they still won’t listen to you and continue making rude comments, just do your best not to “feed the troll”, because most of the time in these cases, they just want to get a rise out of you. Usually they stop if you ignore them.

Ugh, I feel for you!
People do really seem to think its funny to make ‘cooking’ comments about rabbits.
Stupid.
I guess all we can do is say in one way or another ‘Look, Im not going to tolerate comments like that, so just please don’t make them and then we can all get along’
Sigh, People are rude :/

 I feel for you. My father and brothers all hunt animals for food. Well, they used to make the rabbit stew comments about the bunnies. THEN, Ashe came to stay at their house when I visited a week. Everything changed. Ashe is VERY smart and my father was amazed at how quickly she learned. I showed him clicker training. He also loved her personality. She is a very dominant, assertive rabbit. Every so often he will put on a front that he thinks rabbits are wierd, but any time Ashe visits (have visited with the buns since I got Moogle) he totally melts And he’s like a giant lumberjack man!

One of my brothers that visits often likes to try to push Ashe’s buttons, so he’s not allowed in her room anymore… the other brother that lives with my parents has ALWAYS loved the rabbits (He is the one that hunts the wild ones, which makes me sad, but it helps save money and keep their crops safe.) I’m not sure why he loves them so much.

I’m sorry that your family says such hurtful things. Being that this is your siblings though, perhaps it is best not to show them how angry you are. It seems to me that they are only doing it to get a rise out of you. You react strongly, they think its funny, so they keep doing it. My brother would do or say things all the time just to see me get super pissed off. The thought it was hilarious. Did he really mean the things he said? Probably not.

[bpash89]

Funny thing is my brother (who loves nothing more than to piss people off on the internet) is the only one who quit when I told them to shut up the first time. It was the “sensitive” sisters who wouldn’t drop it. I don’t really care that much (living thousands of miles away has some major perks after all) but it’s just annoying to wake up to a discussion about rabbit fur earmuffs on your facebook page.

[Muffinluv]

I know how you feel bpash, I brought a picture of Muffin to cadets and showed it to my friends, one kid walked over and said “what is that?” so I showed him the picture and he said “Yaknow Muffin would look even cuter next to a piece of bacon.” I slapped him across the face and called him a sick-sad-excuse for a human being. And a few other colourful insults. He has a dog, and if I said, “Wow your dog would look nice on a plate with mashed potatoes.” he would (expletive)ing crush me to the floor.

Thankfully we were all leaving so I didn’t get in too much trouble, after all, the Flightsargent who scolded me said he had it comming.

[justwildbeat]

Since it’s family I don’t suggest blocking/unfriending them. If you plan on posting more pictures of your rabbit on FB. Keep them in an album and revise the settings to block “offensive” family members from seeing them. Or put them in a social group and adjust the settings on what they can see (wall posts/pics/etc).

Try not to take too much offense about those comments, even though they may be insensitive. I doubt they were serious about it.

[LBJ10]

Oh yes, you can do that on fb! You can change who can see pictures or entire albums. Maybe just share them with friends that you know will enjoy looking at your bunny pics.

[Beka27]

Yeah, I would delete the hurtful comments that were already posted. It’s YOUR post and you are allowed to delete whatever comment ON YOUR POST you want to. If you get an angry phone call afterwards, just ask them, “Really? You have nothing better to do with your day than bully me about deleting a stupid FB comment?”

(Or you can ‘befriend’ ME on FB and I will give them a piece of my mind. I might have to watch my language on BB, but on FB I have free range and I am not concerned about speaking my mind and telling them exactly what I think of them… Lol…)

[bpash89]

Lol thanks Beka but that won’t be necessary. I wasn’t subtle with them and used plenty of colorful language so they got the picture. I generally take the old school method of “I shouldn’t have to resort to censorship, people just shouldn’t be dicks,” so I generally don’t delete comments unless absolutely necessary.
