How do you deal with the negativity in mma community?

[grilledcheese]

I know all sports have toxic fans. NBA fans were tweeting nasty stuff to Curry's wife. But on the whole I find alot of cool nba fans on /r/nba. You can avoid those negative fans easy.

On the other hand. Every time I pull up mmajunkie,sherdog or /r/mma I just read comment after comment that is extremely hateful and personal. These aren't simple I want to see he/she KO'd comments. I read some really negative and truly dark stuff. Even mundane things like Ronda going shopping has some awful comments throughout the whole thread. You cant avoid it.

In MMA it seems so hard to avoid the negative fans. After awhile I just want to delete all my mma bookmarks and follow golf or something. I love the sport but the overwhelming stuff you got to read in the community is too much. I just cant deal with it.

Just giving you a hard time. But in reality this is not a good sport to follow if you dislike negativity. Come to think of it...you may just want to stay off the internet as a whole.

 

[MMA-woooooh!!!!]

laugh it off, ignore it or just deal with it. people need to stop crying about negativity and just deal with it. or you can block everyone and be in some sort of bubble of positivity.

It isn't just MMA, its human nature.


MMA fans are just a bit more primal in their expressions, with little to no filter.

I don't even go there to lurk, it's terrible.

We're on Sherdog because we enjoy MMA and are passionate about it. Gotta take the good with the bad. Is normal.

 

[MysticCam]

It's the worst part about sports

this right here. You don't have to read forums in order to follow a sport TS. Simply not necessary.

I deal with the negativity by telling people to go fuck themselves.

Negativity will always have a permanent place in the seemingly endless void of anonymity.

The same way I deal with The Division players, I come on if I'm coming on and mostly laugh at the legions of knuckle dragging fucking troglodytes I share a common interest with.

 

[BlancaDiablo]

Ew. Opinions.
The truth will set you free

 

[raconnor]

Get thicker skin or use the sherdog ignore feature and live in a genderfluid safe space (at least I think it has an ignore feature?)

 

[VitorReem]

Currys wife is a whiny baby brat just like him.
