So you’re lacking in empathy. Acknowledging something is an important first step.
I imagine that if you had a dog you wouldn’t be “womp womp” about torturing it two or three times a year.
Or if you had a friend with PTSD, you wouldn’t go out of your way to aggravate that a couple times a year.
Certainly not for an extremely mild form of entertainment.

These were not the arguments you presented. Those arguments I am more empathetic to. You said:
To which I want to say “Womp Womp”

People don’t like the loud noises because they terrify their dog or trigger PTSD.

That’s not as simple as not liking it, that’s having a specific complaint. Which wasn’t what was said

You are technically correct in that my language was imprecise and I haven’t made the clearest, most well organized, argument here. Probably because this exchange has been ongoing over a couple days.
Regardless, if one side was like “That’s really annoying to me, could you not please?” responding with “womp womp” is extremely rude and selfish.
On top of that, fireworks give people “genuine” problems on top of simply not liking it
In summary: Fireworks upset people for reasons ranging from “I just don’t like loud noises” all the way through “they’re basically torture for my dog”. When people are like, “I don’t care I’m gonna do it anyway,” that’s garbage behavior.
