why does it feel like ever since I came out with my avian obsession a ton of other people decided to start having dumb obsessions.
you asked that like a question so here's an answer;
i think it's just you. my guess would be that you became more attentive to other peoples' obsessions after having admitted your own, so maybe you ended up spending more time in places where people do that or speak of that often.
Its kinda petty being so upset over a few words.
regardless, it's still making people upset and because of it you're ruining your own image on these forums. you don't have to stop, but don't be surprised if you only end up hurting yourself.
