Everyday I'm seeing posts along the lines of "FWD Sucks", "Auto drivers know nothing", "Ricers are literally car cancer".
It's like reading The Daily Mail, negativity everywhere.
I guess that is just the way of the internet. It begins friendly & quiet and then anger & shit stirring.

1. Since the FiST is FWD, then nobody has room to talk about FWD sucking.
2. To be honest, driving an automatic is much easier, especially for traffic. I still prefer manual, but have nothing against automatic cars.
3. About that...

Happens all the time with new communities.
Stage 1) Community is accepting and open.
Stage 2) As it begins to grow, leaders within the community are given the power to define what it is (and what it is not)
Stage 3) A clearly defined other - the out group - endures attacks and derision from the community and it's members, with some on the fringe decrying the seemingly senseless hostilities
Stage 4) Nuclear war breaks out between the rivaling communities; Earth becomes irradiated, and life as we know it is totally destroyed. Human beings cease to exist.
Note: It is not a guarantee that Oppo will rise to the level of a nation-state, so stage 4 may never be reached.

Well, yeah. I mean, Hitler didn't stink up his forums, bro. He always tagged his rants with *rants* and used a safety pic. Always.

As a member of the FWDminati, I too have noticed this trend. Or, at least, I've been having to deploy my slidin' 106 .gifs a lot more often.

Right, and he only posted GIFs to Jezebel.
What I absolutely can't forgive is that he was a starred commentator on Deadspin. That's some fucked-up shit man.

I feel like there's going to be more to come from this but as far as your post goes and your general question, I feel like most of the comments I see are not necessarily serious, just a strong sarcastic wording of ones opinions. Most being the keyword. Of course there is the occasional honest snobbery and whatnot, but I think we all majority of us kind of understand the community and discussions we are taking part in and realize there will be plenty of humor and sarcasm and playful jabs but at the end of the day, dissenting opinions and all, we are all here for the same thing.

I try my best not to be. I actually delete a lot of what I type out and retype because I'm worried it would offend/make unhappy.

There's a platform I can get behind. Plus maybe with some additional funding the Aztec's Basketball team will finally beat Arizona. Not that I want this to happen, but I do hope that the SDSUvAZ games become an annual tradition. This is the best non-rivalry, rivalry in college basketball right now.

Things which USC is better at that AZ:
Defensive Backs.
Producing Harold Miner.
Producing Amy Rodriguez.
Proximity to ocean.
Apparently Rugby.
Past (pre-Kiffin) Football recruiting efforts.
ETA, y'all just jealous because SDSU has a better basketball team.

it comes and goes in waves. I think I've been around long enough now that I can say that. It goes through "I love you man" to "everything other than what I like sucks" peaks and valleys. Just be tolerant and work to make the place better.

As someone who drives a FWD, RWD, and AWD car, you guys are being overly sensitive.

It doesn't actually bother me all that much; I just like an excuse to post .gifs and videos of a FWD car doing things that those who have never driven a particularly good one don't seem to realise they can do.
I will admit, though, that I am sometimes rather irritated by, say, all the clamouring that the next Focus RS be AWD—if simply because part of me worries that Ford might be listening.

I will say that FWD cars need to be fun to be worth it whereas you can still have fun with a slow manual rwd car. Given the choice, I'd stil take rwd.

I have a slow - 59HP - manual FWD car, and it's plenty of fun.

I have an Abarth, and it has just enough quickness to be considered fun. Our ideas of fun are clearly very different. I'd have more fun on a bicycle than a 59 hp far car.

It handles well, has very little weight, and offers masses of driver feedback. Oh, and it'll oversteer without the use of the handbrake.

So it drives just like every car made before 1990, but with half the hp.
