Things I hate about Valentine's Day?
I hate how everything's just companies pushing you to BUY BUY BUY BECAUSE YOU CAN'T EXPRESS LOVE FOR SOMEONE AT ANY POINT NOT DESIGNATED A HOLIDAY
I hate the idea of it. A day to celebrate love? Fantastic idea. Do you know what else is a good day to celebrate love? EVERY OTHER FUCKING DAY OF THE YEAR.
Romance in general makes me want to throw up. I'm not even joking, I am physically repulsed by the very idea of being in love. So me seeing reminders to express your desire not to die alone and unloved pretty much makes me unable to walk into a supermarket without needing to take a crate of sick bags with me.
The chocolate isn't even that good. It's the mass-produced shit that tastes like somebody mashed a load of raw cocoa beans together and moulded it into a heart. It's cheap after the day though, so I guess I can't really complain.
The movies that run on TV are the most banal crap I have ever had the displeasure of witnessing the first five minutes of. It's like somebody sifted through a bargain bin to find the dullest and the worst romance movies man has ever produced.
And it's just... No person in the right state of mind would ever consider the day anything more than a sham to line the pockets of some fuckwad in a mansion that has no issues when it comes to manipulating people's emotions for profit. It's a Hallmark Holiday. You buy shit you can't afford for somebody that doesn't want it to fill the coffers of somebody that would set an orphanage on fire if it got them a fiver.
Valentine's Day is the biggest yearly crock of shit to rear it's ugly head, along with Halloween.
