Default JK hate at the FJC forum

So I've spent some time reading a couple of FJC forums, and those guys seem to have a pretty venemous attitude towards our Jeeps, especially Rubicons.

Although 'Heep Boobicon," which is what they call rubis, is hilarious, the nasty attitude behind it is not.

To me, it seems sad, and funny, and strangely rewarding. We don't really talk about FJs here (why should we?), but they talk about us constantly. It seems like every time a Jeep rolls over or gets stuck on a trail, someone on an FJ forum is posting pics or video and laughing (while crying inside).

Behind all their hostility, you can really feel the envy. I never knew there was a group of people who hate me because of my Jeep, but there you have it. Sad. Very, very sad.

There's tons of FJ and Hummer bashing on this forum. Chr!st we even do it to each other, just look at all the Rubi vs Sahara vs X threads

The most important measuring stick for a good rig isn't what badge it has on it or what size lift and tires, or if you have lockers or not....... it's how much fun you've had in it

I had a LR Disco two vehicles before I bought my JK. There was constant Jeep bashing on LR forums I was on. Always has been, always will be.

Why would people constantly bad mouth something? Usually it's because they are jelious.

I'm no stranger to bashing of any kind. I know we bash hummers here (haven't seen any FJ bashing though), but it's different. Here there is a humorous undertone, at least mostly. Sure, you get some @ss##$# every now and then, but that's not the norm.

There, it's quite nasty. When was the last time someone here posted that Hummers were total pieces of shit and the people that buy them are idiots? In those words?

I don't care what people drive, as long as they have fun. I even like the FJ. The point was to point out how nasty they are over there towards us, that's it.

I agree, I have never seen a bashing post here were it gets personal. I say they are jealous that whenever anybody in the word hears the word "Jeep" they automatically think "off-road", which is not the same when somebody says "FJ" (Fake Jeep ), most people don't even know what that is
