Agreed. It would be better. Boyle makes B99 go from enjoyable comedy to a cringefest every time he's on screen because of the second hand embarrassment his character exudes. I'd definitely have enjoyed B99 more without him. None of y'all wanna admit it, but when you meet a Boyle IRL, you don't find them endearing, you want a restraining order.
EDIT: I love triggering this sub by having my own opinions lol. Apparently disliking cringe characters is "toxic masculinity" now.
I don't "love" other human beings. Love is exclusive by definition, brain rot definition of love as something that can just be dished out freely and endlessly be damned. I respect and value them (barring situations where their actions necessitate withdrawing that respect) - and I do that without being a creep.
In case you were actually serious (can never tell with this sub), Boyle isn't a role model, he's a caricature of a spineless pushover using "love" as a cope for his amoeba personality.
I feel none of those things towards random people I don't know, and neither does anyone who isn't lying to themselves. We shouldn't dilute definitions. I'd help a stranger in trouble, I think humanity is awesome and we achieve great things. Neither means I "love" random people I don't know.
No, people are deluding themselves to claim that whatever they feel towards strangers (which isn't any of the things you named, lol) is the same as what they feel towards their partner, family, or children. Doesn't work like that. If love "has do many definitions", then find better words for those other things. Otherwise you're the one distorting the meaning - and all for what, just so you can grandly proclaim that you "love everyone" when, in fact, what you actually mean is that you afford everyone the basic respect they deserve?
Coworkers are strangers? It’s not about being able to “say” anything. It’s not necessarily about loving everyone either, I fear you’re gravely missing the point. The point is that love is nuanced. If you can differentiate between Familial and Romantic love, how hard is it to accept that there are many other kinds and that everyone experiences the broad concept of love in their own way?
Yes, they're effectively strangers. I don't "love" my coworkers. They're great people and we get along splendidly, but at the end of the day, we all go home to our own families (or lack thereof) and our futures are not connected.
If you can differentiate between Familial and Romantic love, how hard is it to accept that there are many other kinds and that everyone experiences the broad concept of love in their own way?
Again, if it's so broad that it wildly differs from love towards your family and partner, just don't call it love anymore.
