>>32213345Because contrarians are loud. If I like popular characters like Charizard and Lillie, or games like XY, I don't need to sing their praise in every post I make. There's no point. They're popular. It's likely people already know what I like about them, since many other also like those very same things, which is why they're popular in the first place. That's not to say all contrarians are always going on about their opinions. Having different taste is not unusual. A lot of people don't care about Charizard, XY or Lillie. I liked XY. On /vp/, I'm a contrarian. I don't need to sing its praise all the time. A contrarian is just someone who don't share the vast majority's opinion on something. There's no problem with that.
The problem comes from the minority that is butthurt about it. They can't stand being the minority. Seeing a character or game they don't care about be popular sets fire on their butt hair. To cope with that, they blow smoke out of their asses, hoping others will notice them if they see a lot of smoke coming out. They shit on those things, and express their unpopular opinion on every chance they get, in hopes that they will get attention and someone will notice that fire on their ass. The more people notice, the better the chance of finding others like themselves, and not feel like the minority that's being left out. And it works. That smoke, now even thicker with more people blowing, attracts more people with butt hair on fire. This continues until most of the sane people leave and only butthurts are left. This is what happened on 4chan. Loud contrarians attract more loud contrarians, who think 4chan is a place just to express their contrarianism and decide to stay here, while the sane people continue being annoyed, trying to ignore this bullshit because they can do nothing about it.
