Another pet peeve: Baby Pictures.
Especially when it happens in webcomics.
Like seriously... I can be getting into a webcomic, and starting to think the creator guy (or girl, or fish) is kinda nifty....
.... and then they suddenly stop to start gushing about the birth of their kid or somesuch.
And instantly I lose any and all respect for them, for it to be instantly replaced with absolute disgust. The kind of disgust normally saved for the Surinaam Toad and die-hard S*ny fans.
For one thing newborn babies are revolting, foul little things. They're not cute. Ever. No matter what one might be brainwashed by hormones into believing.
For another thing, spawning is the most horrible thing a person can ever do. EVER. No fucking exceptions. It is going crossing that event horizon at a sprint and pretty much can't ever be forgiven. The thing it most definitely is not under any circumstances is an achievement. It doesn't deserve congratulation so much as condemnation. Another consciousness trapped in a shell unwillingly, to be carted about by obscene organic programming on a magical mystery tour of its own prolonged suffering.
And for a third.... it hella disrupts a webcomic when that happens, or whatever else medium it comes in. I didn't come to see newborn ape-maggots. I don't want to ever see them. That shit ain't cool... it is just disgusting and cruel.

^^ Yup.
Absolute worst one was where Chris Onstad of Achewood did it.
[ Fun Fact: You can find my comments all over Achewood's assetbar comment system. Yes, it is the same me. I wear a Weighted Companion Cube there instead of a badger though. ]
I voiced my strong disapproval on that particular strip... and got an unrelenting hate-torrent in return there from morons who seem to believe that doing what all life has been doing for the past 3.6 billion years is some sort of achievement.
There's not enough headdesk in the world.
Rhetorical question somewhat, but I figured I'd give you the benefit of the doubt... cos I'm nice.
I could provide a desk for you if you wanted. I reckon watching you head-butt it repeatedly would make up for your antagonism.
Verbal abuse? Spam? Waffle? You've lost me again. I got most of my lingo from other parts of the Internet, clearly.
^ Not "serious". I'm never "serious" about non-S*ny things.
BUT I am sincere and earnest. I mean it.... I'm just not even 20% as worked up about it as my text would imply. I'm very prone to exaggeration out of pure boredom.
Emotions are crude tools of manipulation.... and it is our genes, via our subconscious, that does the manipulating. A few of them, like the lulz, are to reward us for doing what the genes want. Most, however, are less carrot and more stick.... punishment, threats, etc.
Basking in your emotions is just a form of stockholm syndrome.
