The mental image of all of you in a room, sitting on the ground, arms crossed, and backs turned to each other is killing me 💀💀💀

Hi, i am a Misanthrope and i feel often misunderstood in that philosophy. So I created this community for the constructive discourse about misanthropic feelings, understanding the misanthropic mindset, and spreading awareness that this isn’t an excuse to hate.

I want this community to be a save place for people, who are curious about Misanthrope to learn and understand what it is, and hopefully spread some awareness against stereotypes. As I expect deconstructive comments sooner or later (beeing the misanthrope i am lol) i wanna put some stricter rules here:

RULES:

Be respectful! Even if you dont understand someones perspective, even if you disagree heavily. There are no reasons to insult or be disrespectful. We are all humans behind these accounts (hopefuly) with feelings.
No Bigotry! Here it is allowed to dislike humanity in general. But we wont tolerate targeted hate towards minorities.
No trolling! I know it can be hard to tell sometimes, but in volatile cases I will make a decision based on my best judgement. I want this to be a constructive community.
Memes are welcome! I felt like i should state this, since that can be a serious topic. But sometimes silliness is the easiest way to deal with emotions.

Wikipedia defines Misanthrope as follows: “Misanthropy is the general hatred, dislike, or distrust of the human species, human behavior, or human nature. […] Misanthropy involves a negative evaluative attitude toward humanity that is based on humankind’s flaws. Misanthropes hold that these flaws characterize all or at least the greater majority of human beings.”

I think this is a fair but easy to misunderstand definition. So i want to add:

Misanthropy can also be a disappointment with humanity.
While some Misanthropes choose solitude, others can and do enjoy the presence of some people and even enjoy engage in social events
Misanthrope is a philosophical stance, and could be better understood as a criticism of society, rather than just irrational hate
