I'm sorry but I don't see much point to them. Yes, I understand hating on something but wow, do you want a medal for telling the whole world about it? And people who do like the thing, yes it will always irk them even if they do understand that someone has a different opinion.

It's just... I don't see the point in making some big announcement based around negativity. When I don't like something, I prefer to discuss the hate in a less public setting. And honestly, whenever I see someone make a hate stamp, even when I agree with what's being hated on, I can't help but feel that person just wasted their time.

Why not put more effort into the things you love? Make stamps about what you love and have positive discussions with people who agree. Because seriously, what the fuck are you accomplishing by making a hate stamp other than congratulations you're kind of a whiny little shit???

Yes I acknowledge that people will dislike and hate things. For example, I hate the shipping PruCan. There we go, even if PruCan fans are reading this and understand that I don't like the ship, they'll still feel miffed that I feel such a need to announce my hate, right? Is that what people want to accomplish with making hate stamps? Spreading negative feelings about? What's the actual point in that? Are you going to look at yourself at the end of the day and think 'OH BOY I FEEL SO FANTASTIC BECAUSE I SPREAD HATE ONTO A WEBSITE WOOHOO'? I seriously doubt it.

Basically what I'm saying is that it's alright to dislike something, but if you're going to make a big deal over it, that's not going to necessarily reflect well on you as a person. 8/ Besides, you can totally accomplish better things with your talents instead of being a dick.

I've personally like the 'I ship (insert pairing here), but it's okay if you don't' or 'I prefer (insert two characters here) as siblings/family/friends/platonic/non romantic relationship'. Though, I'd like to see more bro ship stamps, too. I'm not talking about just family, but like 'I prefer Vietnam and America as friends!' Kind of stamp. 

Though, I don't mind non shipper stamps, but as long as they're not aggressive with. Like my own amusing story.
A Russia x China shipper requested a anti ChiLiech stamp, then posted it in their profile with a gun icon shooting at the said stamp with a note that says 'ChiLiech fans aren't welcome! I'm not trying to be rude!'
The person is a fine example of a pure hater... but I found it hilarious anyway, because she's really that worked on a mere unpopular China pairing that literally only 0.0001% of the fandom ships where Russia x China seems more unsinkable. I highly doubt that oc pairings with popular canon characters like America x Panama or England x Argentina wouldn't beat USUK, RusAme or FrUK.
