I don't like it because I can't see the logic in it, there's no benefit to having a dick on a girl over a feminine guy.

The saying "Get off the internet if you don't like how the people there treat you," and its many, many variations are to me an endorsement of cyberbullying.

It kind of is, but it's valuable advice if you ask me. The best alternative to staying and arguing with folks who've made up their minds is to just accept the different ways of thinking and move on.

I find holocaust, 9/11, and just all around offensive jokes really funny (though I do not find the actual event funny)

Though yes it could be an endorsement of cyber bullying, there is a 100% chance you wont be cyber bullied if you follow that advise so i mean it is also kinda helpful. I think it all depends on who is saying it and their intentions.

At this point I can't fathom how making fun of Tumblr-PC culture is funny anymore. It's not that I find it offensive or edgy (though I will admit it can be offensive or edgy at times), but how tired of a shtick it is. The horse has been beat for probably some time now. What is there to add to the situation other than "SJWS R BAD" and "FUK FEMINIZM"? In my opinion, if there's nothing to add to the conversation, it's definitely going to grow stale sooner, if not, has already gone stale.

Think of it this way. People bully you on your social media page, and the only advice is to just leave your computer, problem solved. Except those things said on that page are still there for all to see and you will have to confront it eventually or else forgo using the site ever again. It isn't like regular bullying where leaving solves the problem, because it's the internet, leaving solves nothing, because whatever they are doing or saying to you is sitting there, waiting for you to see it. Also, it does nothing to stop inflammatory pictures, stories or whatever being passed about behind your back to all your classmates to humiliate you, that's still cyber bullying and you don't even have to be at the computer for it to happen.

Heck, you don't even need a social media account for people to pass around inflammatory things about you. People just need to know you and reaaaally not like you.

Well, when I read 'Get off the internet if you don't like it' I interpreted it as people going 'get a load of this fagg' and 'go kys geek' towards your idea, not personal attacks to you yourself.

In that case, yeah you gotta take some action, letting that go on by itself is a great way for a small issue on the computer to turn into an actual dilemma in reality.

Yeah, that's more what I had in mind. When I think "cyberbullying" or "harassment," I don't think the random drive-by insults everyone has gotten at least once. I'm talking a massive wave of hundreds of sockpuppets on Twitter or Facebook descending on your page, deeply personal and intimate attacks and threats, emailing you pictures of your house alongside promises of an in-person confrontation, threatening friends and family, Swatting, doxing, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

I really don't like Hearthstone, or trading card games with similar styles. The thing I don't like the most is how the card combat works. I just don't like how you can target the other players cards in Hearthstone, and most other card games based off it. I like the card combat in games like Magic (where you only target the player, and your opponent can block your attacks with their creatures), and the Pokemon TCG (where you only have one active creature out at a time, and you have other pokemon on your bench)

I honestly have no ideal why GradeA is so popular, it's probably the dumbest and pointless ranting videos I have ever seen.

Why are Rants Videos are popular now anyway?

Unsure what general consensus is but I feel like this is a minority opinion:

Digimon Tri is the worst series in the franchise. Undoes all the work that the digidestined did in DA02, has TONS of weeb-pandering, a bad localization, and a generally lackluster OST and animation. If someone wants me to go into detail I will PM them but I'd rather not rant TOO long on it.

Also on the topic of Digimon, the American localization is great for each season if not better in some cases (I'd argue Tamers and Frontier were better).

People have used the term SJW and Regressive so much that, like "Racist" or "Nazi", it's just become something you accuse someone not as extreme as you are in your beleifs.

Also the whole "wow, sorry that you can't tolerate people who disagree with you" tactic used in arguements…uuuh, if those people who disagree with me are radical far leftists that want me to hate myself and cater to their Identity whims or anti race-mixing soldiers in the ongoing war against "cultural marxism" and would gladly kill me if they had their way, hell yeah I won't "tolerate" that.

Little to no moderation of comments sections rapidly decreases the quality of the discourse therein, and can paradoxically be a hindrance to the "marketplace of ideas" when it is taken over by complete shitheels, thus discouraging everyone else from participating.

Freedom of speech should not be used for attacking other people (I like to call it "Freedom of Speech" card). I've seen that way too many times and I think it should stop right now.

Also I feel like Star Fox Zero gets way too much hate. I understand why people don't like the game, but it's not the worst game ever.

There are a lot of items on my list of words that I wish would disappear and never return again, with 'cringeworthy' being one of them. The main reason I do not like that word is that I have seen quite a number of people using it in a very mean-spirited and aggressive tone. The 'Cringeworthy' gallery and 'Every Day We Stray Further From God's Light' didn't help with users deliberately posting images that I do not want to see and then attracting other users who post long-winded rants about the offending images.

I think the TV show Glee is horrible. First off, it tries way too hard to be hip with the kids (they reference things like hashtags, shipping, and they even did covers of songs like "What Does the Fox Say?"). Second, the covers they do are atrocious. Not one cover they do is in any way better than the original song (that goes for songs that were already terrible). Finally, the shows tries to be both funny and dramatic, and just fails at both. The jokes are either bland and boring, or rely heavily on pop culture and social media, and the drama is either stupid or insulting (like the episode about a school shooting)

I don't really care about Hollywood whitewashing unless it turns out to be an offensive stereotype (such as blackface back in the day). All I care about is if the actor is right for the role. For example, Tilda Swinton looks great from what we've seen in the Doctor Strange teaser.

People need to stop upvoting capcons images
This user basically reposts images, but he doesn't put his images in any gallery so he can get away with reposting them.

That reads less like an Unpopular Opinion and more like a comlaint for the Image Cleaning thread

I am absolutely sick of seeing "It's Time To Stop" being plastered everywhere. It wasn't even that funny to begin with.

Anarcho-capitalism looks more like a weird joke than an actual ideology to be taken seriously. Maybe a few bad apples seem to ruin it, but I'm yet to see a "progressive ancap".

Just gonna say a few quick ones:
-I don't like Reggae. Each reggae song sounds pretty much the same to me, right down to the beat/melody used.
-I think Mercenary Kings is a good game. I like the gun building, the controls aren't as awkward as people say, and it's got a lot of charm to it.
-Final Fantasy Explorers is a shitty game trying to ride off the success of Monster Hunter. The weapons don't feel different, the big monsters are pitiful (the first monster you fight barely moves, only has 2-3 attacks, and dies pretty quickly), and you can tell the devs didn't know how to make a good Monster Hunter clone. Also, the games maps are way too big, and it's hard to tell where exactly you need to go.

"Trigger warnings" are about as big a threat to your freedom of expression as "Happy Holidays" is to your freedom of religion.

I actually like Chespin's evolutionary designs.

I think Chikorita has the stupidest looking one.

I think the steam user reviews are very shitty since there's more jokes than actual reviews or gives bad games good just for ironic purposes example hatred.

Was there ever a time its usage was ironic?

While I have only watched one episode of the anime, I can't help but feel that DanMachi was only popular because of one character: Hestia. For some reason, the fact that Hestia was a big-breasted loli made the show popular while it was airing. That alone is a very fucking shallow reason for this show to be popular; not only that, it leaves a really bad implication about the otaku/anime (mainly otaku) community, namely that they're pedophiles. This is not something I would want associated with anime fans and otaku.
Overall, it was just a boring anime, popular because of one character (just like Future Diary! Except Yuno had more of a personality than fucking Hestia).

-Hetalia is overrun with idiot fangirls that poisoned the anime for me and the newest seasons are just filled with fanservice

-Family Guy was funny for the first four seasons

-Hank Hill is actually pretty racist and xenophobic

-Geography needs to be taught in schools, there's no excuse for grown adults and most kids not knowing where countries like Germany and Vietnam are

-I've lost more friends to them not accepting me as I am, than the other way around

-In n Out sucks

-All kids that idolize Youtube Let's Players and Minecraft need to be slapped and handed a book

I'm sick and tired of seeing so many images of anime girls wearing "Make America Great Again" hats. It's not funny, and it's clogging up the image gallery.

What happened to Jose Bautista today was karma. I maybe salty over the bat flip in game 5 of the ALDS, but this guy is a jackass. He's going to be 37 and he wants a $100+ million contract after this year. I'm glad Rougned Odor punched him in the face, but I expect Odor to get a suspension.

- I don't get it why peoples even hate Popplio. Nothing has been revealed outside of the design and the typing.
- I find the fact that peoples predicted that "Litten will eventually become a Fire/Dark type when it evolves" to be dumb.

I have lost all respect for Patton Oswalt. Not just because of the recent AVGN controversy, but because it feels like he wants to cram his views and beliefs down everyone's throats. In his newest comedy special, for example, he spends a ton of time stating his beliefs and political views in a completely unfunny manner (ie he makes almost no jokes as he's talking).

While we're on the subject of the James Rolfe controversy, people on both sides of the argument are being intolerable right now. You have the detractors who insult James as a person, and then you have his defenders who insult his detractors as a person. This isn't some shit-flinging contest where everyone gets to stroke their own ego and pretend that they are superior to the person they're insulting. James's defenders on this site especially cross the line when one of them wishes that the 'SJWs' should receive the death penalty, and the other makes the joke of Patton Oswalt being 'butthurt' because his wife is in Ghostbusters. That's not fucking funny. His wife died only a month ago, yet assholes are already making jokes at his and his deceased wife's expense and laughing about it. James's defenders are supposed to talk some sense into his detractors, not become as bad as them.

Same, that's a fucking low blow that just makes the defenders look equally as bad, and I only get more annoyed when I see people ENCOURAGING that kind of behavior.

I wish LGBT didn't existed. But I'm not against the people.

i understand. I mean like Im bisexual and i hate how people treat me like im some kind of special snowflake or something when gay people really aren't special or anything

I dont understand why people are still "fighting for gay rights" when we already have gay rights… just saying

A new unpopular opinion from me: since the changes made to the Western release of Tokyo Mirage Sessions don't involve the core of the game being altered (the gameplay and story) then I don't see any reason to make such a big deal over stuff like cleavage and "vagina bones" being covered up. I've said I DON'T think the changes were necessary, but I'm also not letting them bug me like they seem to be bugging other people.

I don't mind Scott Cawthon milking Five Nights at Freddy's for all it's worth. It used to bug me, but then I realized something: Scott Cawthon is 44 years old. He made 24 games, few of which are even noteworthy, before he finally hit upon the magic formula that brought him money and attention. After so many strikeouts over so many years, I can't blame him for wringing every last drop out of FNaF. Still, it would probably be for the best for him to move on. Maybe he could use the series as a portfolio to land a job as a character designer at a big name developer.

I think Kim Kardashian is actually quite attractive.

(Her personality is awful though)

How the Ghostbusters Reboot will succeed can play a role in the upcoming election. If the movie does well in both reviews and box office sales, then Clinton will win. If not, then Trump will win.

I think the Katamari games have the best soundtracks in video game history. And out of all the songs in the Katamari games, Lonely Rolling Star (from Damacy) is my personal favorite.

I really don't like Filthy Frank's newer stuff. Around when Vomit Cake happened I started to have less interest in his videos and I feel that he's just trying too hard. Also, the memes that he spawned (gibe de pusi b0ss, It's Time To Stop, etc.) were kind of funny until they were run into the ground by his fucking atrocious fanbase. I kind of feel the same way with h3h3 when he became more popular.

I don't like that Pokemon took the leap to 3D. While I'm glad that the new style worked out just fine, I have always been fond of sprite graphics, and Pokemon was the only major series I could think of that still used them up until X and Y.

I'm not saying the change was bad or anything, in fact the chibi style of X and Y and ORAS was actually pretty good. But the change felt unnecessary, and while I will never make a huge fuss over it, and I still love the new Pokemon games, I will always be disappointed by the change.

I think there is a need for more anime girls wearing Make America Great Again hats. The gallery is already quite behind.

– I'm a huge fan of monster girls, but I dislike the monster munsume anime. I get that people like it for the characters, but now it just annoys me whenever I see a regular monster girl and people compare it to the monmusu characters.

– I consider Fire Emblem Fates to have the best maps and gameplay in the series, but in terms of story and characters I consider it to be one of the worse. I just hope that future titles will have better pacing. And if they want to keep the children mechanic, then do at least do a time skip, the silly excuse they used in fates just felt lazy and overall made the children feel like just a gimmick to attract the players who will only play the games for the new waifuing aspect.

--He's more polarizing than generally hated, but I like Kanye West.

--People who ironically like Death Grips are obnoxious, sprouting shit like "meme music lol". I should clarify that I like Death Grips unironically.

--GamerGate and the people in it really are becoming more and more right-wing. In the past, a statement like that would've just been some crap uttered by SJWs to make them look bad, but I'm starting to believe that it's true now; I can't help but feel that pro-GGers will scold anyone who even holds a liberal or left-wing ideology, or is not as politically incorrect as them. But I wouldn't know; I haven't bothered to check them out in a long time, and I won't anytime soon since GG actually stressed me out when I was part of it. And that's something I'm not happy to say.

--People who connect the FE: Fates localization controversy with radical feminists/SJWs blaming all the changes on them and saying the changes were made to "promote a specific ideology" (looking at you, GamerGate) are morons who need to stop inserting their antifeminist/anti-SJW views into these controversies when they aren't really connected to said groups (feminists/SJWs).
