> I think the CW's Arrow and Flash shows suck. Both strike me as bad soap operas with shoehorned fanwankery, also costume design is on the level of amateur cosplay.
> Marvel's Agents of Shield also blows imo. Meh acting, Meh story, Meh characters.
> Gotham isnt much better than arrow.
> Superflare? Fucking really, DC? As if Superman didn't have enough powers you decide to give him more.
> I don't find Forrest Gump very good.
> For some reason I enjoy the first High School Musical. Probably a side effect of the disney brainwashing.
> I very much love Batman Brave and the Bold. Yeah I know it's campy, kiddy, and silly. But it's supposed to be that way. It's a love letter to a more innocent age of comics, the golden and silver ages. It's a nice look back in time, a time of multicolored batman outfits, a time of terror of the rainbow creature, a time where superman shot miniature versions of himself from his fingertips.
> I like deadpool but he's gotten a following rivaling 9gag in terms of cancer.
> Let dead comic characters stay dead.

In no particular order:
-Lucas deserved to be cut from Smash 4. Face it, he was a clone, and the vast majority of his hitboxes (Looking at you, USmash) were broken as all hell.
-Fire Emblem didn't need FOUR character slots in Smash 4.
-Demon's Souls was better than both Dark Souls games.
-Kirby's Air Ride was one of the best games for the Gamecube.
-Final Fantasy is overrated.
-Facebook and Mobile-based games are the reason microtransactions took off in the gaming industry.
-Roleplaying is fun, and not "weird" in the slightest. Anyone that hates has probably only seen people that were terrible at it. There's also tons of false rumors that surround it, which doesn't help.
-League of Legends stopped being fun after Vayne's release, and has only gotten worse/less balanced from there. DotA is better.

-I liked Baby Geniuses 2 and the Master of Disguise (I was a stupid kid back then, now I have grown up and realized that those movies suck ((though it did sort of hurt to learn the truth about those movies)))
-I don't like the original Deus Ex.
-I fucking hate Sword Art Online. I hate it with the passion of a thousand suns.
-I don't like the Hunger Games (both the books and the movies)
-I don't like the Beatles. I don't think they're awful, I just don't like their music
-I didn't like Project X-Zone
-I didn't like Bravely Default
-I'm not a fan of turn-based JRPGs
-I actually like Google+
-I don't like GameGrumps (anymore. They used to be really cool, but now they just seem sort of bland and run of the mill.)
-I adore Minecraft, though I don't think it's the best game ever.
-I'm not a big fan of TAWOG, and I haven't really watched Steven Universe or Gravity Falls yet.
-I thought the first season of Dragonball GT was okay.
-I don't like fighting games (except the Super Smash Bros series)
-I don't like Sonic. I think the games (even the good games) are meh. The only one I really like is Sonic Rush Adventure
-I think SWKOTOR is okay, but not mind blowing like most people say.
-I didn't like Neverwinter Nights
-I think RolePlaying is fun. In fact, that's how I met my girlfriend.
-I don't like South Park, King of the Hill, or most adult shows. Though I do enjoy Futurama, and I think Bob's Burgers is good.
-I really enjoyed Chowder, and I don't see why people hate it so much.
-………..I enjoyed the Level Up Movie.

- I HATE RELIGION. Why get kids to stop believing in Dragons and Fairies and get them to believe what a "Holy Book" says? Pfft, I'd rather believe in Dragons thank you very much.

- Mobile games are just shit. They're just shit, cash grabbing timers. They have no chance of redemption.

- PlayStation and Xbox fans are gullible to hype generated for under par games. No bloody wonder the 4 didn't interest me.

- I still think there's hope in Steam Greenlight and Early Access. Provided the right people use them.

-I adore roleplaying…. But only text based stuff you'd find on the Internet. Live Roleplaying would be kinda lame because nobody's an actor so you sound kinda stupid when you say your lines, and the board game version has too many contradicting rules is too geeky even for me. XD

Regarding anime

- Kill la Kill is overrated, basically a shonen/comedy with good animation and beyond ridiculous plot 7/10 too much edge
- JoJo Bizarre adventure is overrrated too, I liked first and two seasons but the third is pretty meh. 8/10
- I dont know why people criticize so much Attack on Titan, franky I think AoT is better than kill la kill and JoJo.
- I hate how cliched the anime is, it has reached the point where the trope becomes a genre (harem and ecchi), and the characters are carbon copies of characters used 20-15 years ago or even worse anime shows recycled to make other anime shows, ej. some school slice of life animes are so recycled that could even pass for a new season of an old anime.

1. There should be tests to allow or deny people the right to have children or to limit the amount of children a couple can have, to prevent kids growing up in poor conditions or with just plain stupid parents.

2. It's probably for the best that weed doesn't get legalised.

3. I don't think homosexuality is genetic, at least not completely, as we'd probably see a lower percentage of homosexual people if it were, due to responsible genes not being passed on ect… (There are probably genetic influences that make it more likely though)

4. The world would be much more peaceful and well developed if everyone was atheist. Let's face it (give me a fedora to tip if you wish here), religion has caused some pretty big problems.

5. The majority of Reddit and tumblr seem pretty swell people.

6. I actually tried watching MLP once and didn't get the appeal of it. Sorry bronies.

7. PC is objectively, by far the most superior gaming platform at the moment, not just because of the usual 'muh 1080p60FPS' but the games available, more alternatives to the bullshit, controversial releases like your AC Unity's and Destiny's and the most diverse indie scene.

8. Chocolate milk isn't all that great.

Oh, I think I'm full of them! I'm so full of them I'm pretty much isolated from society that nobody really wants to be my friend. But I will share you some.

I think eugenics and sterilization is a bad idea due to the hateful nature of Humanity. People will turn it into another method of implementing genocide in an instant. Just because you do not have a high IQ doesn't mean you deserve to die.

Deflategate was only created so sore losers can bitch about the Patriots. Said sore losers are just choosing to beat up a dead horse because they think they are soooooo self-righteousness.

Gamergate was an unneeded movement.

I really do not like the whole idea of Anglo-Saxon Protestantism and it's sub-sects, they think they're better than everyone else when in fact they are making an ass out of the whole religion and themselves. They are founded by the idea that some King cannot get a fucking son so he broke off from the Catholic church to divorce and kill his wives, then they proceeded to stomp on other people for being different than they are. I come from an Orthodox background and I know it's just fucked up.

- Ice Cap Zone from Sonic 3 & Knuckles isn't the best Sonic song in my opinion.
- I find anti-bronies more annoying than the bronies.
- SonicXElise isn't a bestiality pairing. I'm completely fine with human x anthro pairings.
- Tingle > everyone from the Zelda series

-Humans are the only intelligent life out there, if we were to explore, we'd discover that we're truly alone out there.

As opposed to what? The majority of people who wish they were?

I dont think everyone here has an exact definition of what an unpopular opinion is

I'll try and post some actual unpopular opinions

Frozen was incredibly over-rated and was honestly terrible. Boring characters, boring and predictable story line. There was simply nothing good about it, it was such a generic movie.
The Lego Movie was better than Frozen in every possible way.

Windows Vista is the best windows OS (windows 8.1 is a very close 2nd)

all religious people are complete idiots, using their religion only to justify their ridiculous morals and giving themselves a false sense of security.

If someone abused you, and you do nothing about it, then you have to blame yourself. Its your responsibility to report abuse, and if you don't, then its partly your fault.
Victims should always be blamed when they don't do their part.

There should be a test given to people to see how well they understand government. If they fail, they can't vote.

GamerGate is just a bunch of no-life trolls that just like to start flamewars with other no-life trolls. No one who cares about GamerGate is a gamer, if they were, they'd be playing games, not writing walls of text on the internet over some pointless subject.

-Anyone who says "religion is for idiots" doesn't know enough about religion or understand it on a deeper level.
-"Religious debate" is useless. There is no point to it at all. If the people who "debated" were actually smart, they wouldn't have done it at all.
-Although I am politically a moderate, the modern Republican party is cancer. That doesn't mean I'm a democrat. I hate the two main political parties.
-Most problems in America would probably be solved if there were more moderate and/or 3rd party people in Congress and/or a moderate and/or 3rd party president.
-I don't understand the hatred of country music, even if I don't listen to it.

Disliking moderation has become such a cliche that any valid criticisms are immediately discarded and ignored based on appeals to authority over any real counterpoints. It's gotten to the point where they can just hide behind the wall of tu quoque to indefinitely avoid any valid rebuke, and nobody seems to have noticed.

I really dislike popular anime such as Naruto,Bleach, and One Piece.
I still like listening to Linkin Park. Only their old stuff is good though.
I REALLY hate reading YouTube comment and then I see a little kid posting how old they are, and Saying for example. I'm only 10 and I love these old bands, movies or games.

I do think there was some shady shit behind 9/11 (Braces self for downvotes and tinfoil hats)
I hate everything about the US Government.
Moe anime just isn't entertaining for me
I am baffled by how people like Markiplier and other LP'ers can put up with the BS of YouTube comments.

Linkin Park – Crawling, isn't terrible

The song was epic when it first came out. It's just been overused by so many edgelords over the last 10 years that it's been degraded into a joke.

Sorry, but that one actually is a well supported opinion across most parts of the web

-E-Sports

Despite being an avid gamer myself since childhood, I still find E-sports very unappealing. I'm not even much of a fan of regular sports, but something about e-sports seems so incredibly lame to me.

I don't like overly edgy/gritty games. I want to have fun dammit, not watch all my friends die.

I don't like games with graphics that are ridiculously dark/pointlessly detailed, because I can't see shit. I need to be able to see.

Does liking cranberry juice and licorice jelly beans count as an unpopular opinion?

I don't like porn. You guys can keep all of that stuff for yourselves, but don't make me look at it.

I don't talk about my ships.

Frozen is the most overrated Disney movies of all time(and one of my least favorite Disney movies at that).
Sunshine deserves a sequel more than Galaxy.
I never really liked Xenoblade that much to begin with.
Pokemon legitimately bores me after a week of owning the games.
Gamecube was probably Nintendo's best console of all time.
Melee is in several ways better than Sm4sh(but not as a whole).
Waluigi is BEST waifu.
Sonic 1 < Sonic 2 >>>>>>>>>> Sonic 3 and Knuckles
Memes are almost ALWAYS better when they are related to a fandom of sorts.
The dress argument is retarded. Like REALLY retarded.
I do not think of Gabe Newell as the true god of all that is holy.
I think Donkey Kong Country is a better anime than Cory in the House.

Disliking things to the point of unironically calling it cancer is cancer.

I guess I don't let things affect me that much to call something that, and I don't really understand how people can, so it annoys me. XD

Zarya, the new SJW pandering character in Overwatch, is actually cool to me, as I adore musclechicks and exotic energy weapons.

I have a high tolerance for edgy/gritty stories and characters.

Fuck FCKH8. Their ad campaign is extremely annoying and does nothing to endear itself to the opposition.

Partaking in politics is an excercise in futility. Its all just gonna be the same shit but with a different platform and statements.

I hate it when people say that murderers don't deserve to be killed because "we shouldn't stoop down to their levels." Murderers, 99.99% of the time, DESERVE to be killed.

Smug/fanatical atheists are just as bad as smug/fanatical christians.

I like my women tomboyish and my men kinda girly.

Unnecessary gore, sex and swearing in stories is damn cathartic.

I dont understand the hype behind the Illuminati. What makes these subtle power hungry assholes special compared to the open power hungry assholes we see on the news?

While I don't hate FNAF, I definitely think that the FNAF should really slow down, if it keeps growing at this rate it's going to get even more tiresome. Scott Cawthon's shitting out too many games that are too similar at too fast a rate. If he wants the franchise to live he should make a full fledged game that has a lot more going for than some slivers of lore and jumpscares, and he should also actually make the fanbase WAIT for it.

I don't think Silent Hill 1 is that good and I believe anyone who puts it up on some godlike pedestal and praise it at this point in time are just looking through rose tinted nostalgia goggles.

Frozen is completely and utterly overrated.

I hate My Little Pony.

I think the whole "illuminati conspiraces" while fun at first in the end just got overblown and stupid.

I find the U.S political parties stupid.

Fanatical Athiests are just as bad any other fanatics.

The older sonic games are less enjoyable to me than some of the newer ones.

Those are all that I can think of.

- I don't like zombie apocalypse. It has been done many times and zombies don't really have personality since they're dead
- One of my favorite ability from Kirby is Parasol. It just amused me.
- Anti-bronies are annoying.
- I enjoyed Symphogear.
- I still don't liked the design for Mega Camerupt.

I FUCKING HATE "realistic" zombie survival games like DayZ, H1Z1 or anything that tries to be like them.

Second.

I was fine with DayZ at first, but after seeing how it spawned countless wannabe clones, I wish the game had never existed.

Also, something that goes back to DayZ and most zombie-survival sims at large that I absolutely loathe…

- Early Access games

There is little to no upsides in buying Early Access games, it's simply not worth it considering there is very little obligation for dev's to even finish their games. Majority of these games are never finished or pushed out the door too early. Early Access is the single worst thing to come to Steam.

I think Walking Dead is underrated
FNAF is overrated and the 3rd game is just a cash grab
Castlevania,Megaman and Sonic are dead
Don't like any of the 3 current gen consoles

Decided to vent some more of my opinions.

- I don't find the FNAF fandom all that bad (in comparison to others at least.). I mean i'm pretty sure the only reason it stands out so much is because of A: The furry porn and B: It's popular. Pretty much everything has a horrible fandom or a horrible minority that we associate with the entire fandom. I mean hell i'm willing to argue the FNAF haters are worse than the goddamn fandom itself.

- I hate the "PC Master Race". I don't think they're wrong I just think they're bloody annoying.

- I actually like the newer achievements hunters (Matt, Jeremy, Lindsay) and think they are funny.

- DBZ, Naruto, and Bleach are overrated.

- I think the Digimon T.V show is better than the Pokemon T.V show.

- I actually like Sonic 06 (because I played it in a completely ironic way, I Know it's a TERRIBLE game.)

- Lopunny and Gardevoir are overrated waifus

- I quite frankly think the fairy type in pokemon is completely stupid and I believe the only reason they were even added was to nerf dragon types.

- I personally kind of hate good graphics because nowadays developers place graphics over story and gameplay which just makes the entire experience bland (looking at you The Order 1886.)

- I personally don't think milking is a bad thing. While I can understand why people would criticize a franchise of milking i'm fine with it as long as the quality of the products remain high and consistent.

- Post first movie sponge bob is quite frankly over hated.

- People that post that they dislike a thing on a website where a lot of people like the thing, and then complain that they are getting flame, hate, and scrutiny are just generally whiny and stupid. No offense but if you post that you dislike a thing on a website where people like the thing what the f*** are you expecting?

-I hate Shrek and the whole "Shrek is love, Shrek is life" thing.

- Superman is an outdated superhero that quite frankly just needs a total reboot.

That's about all I can think of.

I probably get a lot of h8 for this:

- I absolutely hate Gravity Falls, it seems kinda dumb, mostly the main characters.
- Not interested on The Walking Dead, we already have enough with the Resident Evil movies and Zombie Land.
- Never going to watch Attack on Titan. I prefer wasting my feels on Steven Universe.
- I always main Meta Knight, but I don't know how to use him properly.
- And mostly, I hate JonTron for reasons.

It's my opinion, I respect yours, so respect mine.

Most of the opinions in this thread are not that unpopular. Maybe not super popular, but given how many people have said "Frozen is overrated" or something along those lines, I think the definition of unpopular is being stretched a bit.

I will now hypocritically proceed to post most-likely-not unpopular opinions.

- I believe in White Privilege, at least in the US. I am expected to have decent grades, a nice home and a well-paying job. Meanwhile, my black friend is expected to have done poorly in school, be living in a crummy apartment and jobless. I'm assumed to be competent – albeit subconsciously racist – while he is assumed to be inept. That's privilege if you ask me.

- There is no inverse relationship between good looks and good personalities. If anything, I find the opposite to be true. All of the nice and friendly people I know range from decent in looks to stunningly attractive. The sweetest girl I knew in high school is now a model. Conversely, all of the mean and hostile people I know are either slightly off-putting or downright ugly.

- >Any sort of positive thing said about Republicans/Conservatives.

- MLP is both the most overrated and overhated show to ever be created. Bronies and anti-bronies are equally awful, and the fact that so much outrage is created over a show made for little girls is both sad and hilarious.

- Having murderers put on death row is not wrong. It's poetic justice.

- Encyclopedia Dramatica, while extremely biased and often far more edgy than necessary, is actually very good about backing up their sources. While they may say things about so and so person or thing in the most vitriolic way possible, they're a lot more credible than people say they are. Mostly.

- GamerGate's ability to cause drama is what makes it so good. People might actually be going to jail over video games. That's hysterical.

- Arguing about things not being natural while you are wearing clothes, typing on a computer/phone/iDevice and sitting in the comforts of your own home is one of the best cases of irony I can think of.

- KYM is not shit.

- The ability to cook is an invaluable asset to have. Any man who claims cooking is too girly or any woman who claims cooking is sexist is an idiot who should try to live in the mountains by themselves for a week.

Good hypothesis.

-Frozen hating bandwagon is even more overrated than the film itself
-I'm sick of "Cory in the House is the best anime" thing
-Chris Thorndyke isn't a terrible character
-I believe there's nothing wrong with Ponification
-The whole "Sonic is dead" thing are nothing more than bullshit
-I despise ED's article on Autism (it's very insulting to me)
-I despise die-hard console gamers who loathes everything about Nintendo
-The term "overrated" is incredibly over-abused
-Autism is an extremely overused and ableistic insult
