I thought BioShock Infinite had the best gameplay compared to the first two BioShock games.

Portal is better than Half-Life, though Portal 2 and Half-Life 2 are equally as awesome.

Microwave popcorn is gross.

GamerGate was a good idea at first, but the amount of bigotry surrounding it for the last six months from both sides has made me hate it. Just shut up, play your video games, and leave your feminism out of it.

On a related note, I also feel as though GamerGate is no longer relevant at this point, it just seems like I'm watching a bunch of kids fight over what the best Pokémon or Ninja Turtle is.

Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire were actually pretty dissapointing.

I don't understand the appeal behind MLP.

Steven Universe is alright I guess, but it's quickly becoming the new SJW/Tumblrina fad because they all think the Gem characters are genderless and Tumblr eats that shit up like candy.

Sometimea I feel like a massive dissappointment to others when I can't do anything to impress them.

Game catridges are impractical.

Just gonna point out two things about Steven Universe and leave it at that

>technically speaking the Gems do not have any sex
>there are other factors that would had led to its appeal to that demographic.

I found an unpopular opinion about Fairly Odd Parents characters…

Although I don't understand this well. Can anyone explain?

Call me a jerk, but personally I think a fair chunk of the people who call themselves "feminists" nowadays are just trying to get laid. I'm obviously not saying all them, but with how often people go essentially "I'm fighting for women's rights now give me a blowjob" can you really say that there isn't at least a portion of them that are only in it to get sex?

For this site, I think that #GamerGate has spent way too long as the only trending meme that's lasted at first place. I understand why it's still there, but can't a mod or someone do something like moving discussion of it to the forums or something, like what they did to MLP:FIM when it was at the top for months on end?

People are going to blast me for this but i feel like saying it
-i think dragons are sexually attractive, i love everything about them from the snout to the cold reptilian eyes.

• Problem Children (Mondaiji-tachi) is my favorite anime. Yes, that means I like it better than No Game No Life.
• K-On is more than a typical moe slice of life.
• Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts is an enjoyable game, and it did not actually "kill" the franchise.
• I like Mega Man Battle Network better than the original Mega Man.
• This may not exactly be unpopular, but "judgment" is an incorrect (i.e., nonsensical and lazy) spelling of "judgement". Even as I live in America, I am willing to say that.

Literally anything nowadays people seem to call "overrated".

I still quite like Sonic, even a lot of his games considered bad like R (not 06 or Unleashed fuck them).

- The recent generation of console is the last generation of console. Console games are dead.
- Mobile device will par the capabilities of this generation console within 5 – 10 years from now.
- Wristwatch communicators will be a thing someday.

>i like sonic 06 a little bit
>i think bubsy deserves another chance
>the mlp fanbase has 000000.1 of sane human beings who aren't horse-fapping plebs%

Holy shit I'm not alone

The Suicide Squad joker actually looks great. The punk look fits with his chaotic demeanor.

I love dark and edgy stories.

I love mean-sprited humour.

I love superheroes that dont wear tights.

Beast Boy is best titan.

- I prefer Japanese MLP fanbase over western one (praise the Japanese bronies!).
- I don't think Sega will give a single darn about "Sonic is dead" bandwagon (which is nothing more than a failed attempt)
- I think hate is the most overvalued emotional.

-Oblivion is the best Elder Scrolls

-Call of Duty isn't a bad franchise, it just has a bad community

-I'm not big on anime. Attack on Titan and Psycho Pass are good shows, but I just don't care for anime in general.

-Metroid Prime 3 didn't impress me. I'm not sure why, but I don't like it as much as the previous ones

-Metroid Other M is a solid game. Sure, the story sucks, but the boss fights are some of my favorite in the entire franchise.

-Sm4sh>melee

-Horror games aren't scary if you can defend yourself

-The Star Wars Prequels weren't bad, and Jar Jar Binks wasn't that annoying to me :|

-Shitposting isn't annoying, it's the modern art of acting like a total moron

-The Bayformers movies are entertaining as spectacles. If you want high-class cinema, go watch The Godfather.

-As terrible the Amazing Atheist is. He isn't the worst youtuber. That goes to Mark Dice. TAA just pretends to be an asshole. MD, on the other hand, is 100% legit AHOTY.

-SJWs you see constantly on the Internet aren't real SJWs. They're just using a legitimate cause as an excuse to act like a bunch of whiny, oversensitive hipsters.

-G5 is the worst Pokemon generation.

I think if most jojo fans who are also bronies (a tiny demographic I'd imagine) knew that Dio's voice actor voices a character, even for one episode, they'd struggle to disagree.

- FINALLY, another person who feels the same way about cannibalism as I do! (Note: I'm not into vore or any kind of fetishism connected to cannibalism) It seems like such a waste to just bury all that meat when so many in the world are starving-

Moving on before I get into my cannibalism rant…

- I'm sick to the back teeth of Gamergate!
- I've never found /pol or /b funny
- I like advice animals

Also:
- Pro-Death sentence (need to get the process more efficient though; statistics show those death-row inmates have a longer life-expectancy when on death-row than out on the streets!)
- Pro-abortion
- Pro-marijuana legalisation
- pro-euthanasia, in those situations where there is no cure, and quality of life is crap.
- I find some of Pewdiepie's stuff genuinely funny
- I find some racist jokes funny
- Pro-Genetic Modification of crops and livestock (so long as strict safety procedures are enforced and adhered to)

Spoilers inbound. I recently finished watching Girls und Panzer and came away feeling disappointed. See, at the end of the first episode, when the camera zooms out and rebeals that the whole city is on a giant aircraft carrier, I thought, "This could lead to some really interesting social commentary." I mean, the show presents a highly militarized world: high school girls are taught to use tanks, entire cities on aircraft carriers, practically everything from clothing shops to restaurants are military-themed. I really wanted to see where they were going to take that.

About five episodes in, I realized the social commentary wasn't coming and between the lines, there was nothing to read. It was just a moe comedy with a tank gimmick. For what it is, Girls und Panzer is good. The protagonist had worthwhile character development, the jokes were funny, and the action scenes were exciting (especially in the last few episodes). But…I wanted more! I mean, you have cute teenage girls in a tank. There are so many different ways you can approach that: a parody of military fetishism, a subversion of portrayals of females in anime, commentary on what prolonged warfare does to a society. I was waiting for the big sinister plot twist where they're living in a nationalistic dictatorship or WWII never ended and they're being trained to continue the same war. Something with depth to explain how their world got so militaristic. Instead, moe.

I had fun watching it, but I can't help but feel it was a lost opportunity.

I think KYM is an outstanding site.

I hold the mentality that neither of the standing US political parties are particularly good, but I tend to view Democrats with far more disdain than Republicans.

I think its because with Republicans everybody and there fucking grandma calls them out on their shit. Their schemes and machinations are fairly transparent and nobody's surprised when a dick move is pulled.

Democrats on the other hand are far less likely to be called on their shit. The outdated narrative of them being the socially progressive underdogs maintains in the hearts and minds of many despite obvious displays of ineptitude and assholery on par with their conservative counterparts.

This particular opinion also carries over to liberals and conservatives in general, but with that I recognize hardline stances on either end are equally toxic.

- The GTA V Remaster has no real selling points to one who has experienced the game on last-gen, which is the primary reason I'm still on the fence on purchasing it again at full price. The fact that there was no deals or no price reduction for those who already purchased the previous version, along the fact that the selling points include a feature that was slated to be released at an earlier date, but was instead bundled as an incentive for the remaster leaves me with no choice but to wait for a price reduction before buying it again.

-I'm not a part of the Anime craze.
-I unironically prefer FOX News as a news outlet, channels like MSNBC seep Liberal propaganda in doses too large for me, but BBC is also a reliable media outlet due to their (self-observed) neutrality.
-Not all Republicans are this stereotypical -9999…. IQ image they are made out to be.
-The South isn't this stereotypical shithole in which people go on lynches against LGBT people or those of another race.

I am against abortion of any kind, even in the case of rape or incest. If I say that it is okay to to have an abortion in those cases then I can't say that I believe that all life is sacred (which is probably one of the few arguments against abortion), since that would make me a hypocrite.

Love is the most underrated aspect of the religions.

-The South isn’t this stereotypical shithole in which people go on lynches against LGBT people or those of another race.
you're right. When same-sex marriage become legal in Alabama… nothing happened, no one seemed to care. There where lots of weddings for a week, and slight push back.. but that was it.
I'm very proud of how my state handled it.

I am against abortion of any kind
What about in a case when the mother and child will die, unless the mother has an abortion and is able to save herself?

Is this thread, the one where a person can just vent an unpopular opinion, really the best place to question why I believe certain things? If you seriously want to debate my stance on abortion then let's take it somewhere else.

I.. wasn't trying to debate, sorry. I was just asking..

I'll make an abortion thread if no one else wants to :3 I actually drive past a clinic that is literally right next door to a Christian church on my way to work, they wage sign war against each other.

My existence is kind of this thread so…
~ I firmly reject anthropogenic global warming.
~ I think we should strive to conserve what we require to exist rather than preserve the planet as it is today.
~ I would eat my dog before I'd eat a slice of pizza.

No, I am the one who should be sorry. I was feeling defensive from some stuff that happened earlier today and it translated it that post. I really should calm down before I start writing things on the internet.

I enjoyed the live-action Speed Racer movie. It was fun!

Incest and Polygamy should both be legal.

I like Dark Souls 2 more than the first
I personally enjoy Mr. Enter's works
GamerGate is nothing except a circlejerk of stupidity
Porn is stupid as well
FN@F should just end
Despite liking animals, I think that none of them are equal to humans
Cannibalism is okay.
Hitler did nothing wrong

This website would be much better if any kind of karma was removed.

White people aren't attractive at all, no offence but i cant see how anyone could find them attractive.
Also i've never really like white culture, even though i'm like 1/4 and look white i just cant relate to it. I feel like i can relate to my black and mexican friends more.

I've been thinking about this since seeing his post in the "Atheist Arya" page and… I can agree with Twisty to an extent that some people do misuse "edgy" as a word to say "thing I dislike." The biggest issue is a lot of people use "edgy" in a negative context typically when describing things that seem "unnecessarily gritty or dark" like Shadow the Hedgehog or DmC's Dante, but really there's a lot of stuff that's "edgy" but can also be well liked by lots of people.

Slipknot is an edgy metal band, yes, but I feel like the angst and anger in their music is genuine and can help people vent if they're in a bad mood.

Goths, punks, and even emos are edgy in their own way because they go against "mainstream norms," but many of them are decent people who don't berate others for not adhering to their subculture's norms.

Kill La Kill is edgy for having lots of bloody violence and nudity, but it also has an interesting cast of characters, a strange plot that manages to work well in the context of this show's universe, and even if the action scenes are done on a budget they still work well to convey the actions they are getting across.

So basically yeah some people do misuse "edgy" to just mean "random thing I dislike," but I suppose there ARE some people out there who also do try too hard to be edgy and only fall flat on their face, so there is a difference between "good edgy" and "tryhard bad edgy."

The amount of upvotes insensitive comments I'm seeing on articles about subjects like Caitlyn Jenner and the amount of downvotes on comments calling out these insensitive comments are really starting to show me KYM's got some pretty ignorant people who absolutely refuse to listen to ACTUAL TRANSGENDER PEOPLE on subjects like these. Worse are the jerkwads who accuse people like me and Sam of being "SJWs" simply because we're calling out these comments, DESPITE THE FACT we both have commented we find radical social types to be idiots who don't really do anything to help people like us.

There's a fucking difference between those "kill all men or force them to get SRS" nutjobs and people who call out legitimately insensitive/hurtful comments directed at trans people like me.

While we're on this topic: the people who got in bed with /pol/ by turning "SJW" into the internet's hottest snarl word have no excuse to act shocked now that /pol/ has decided that it's safe to come out of their containment corner and infect the rest of the internet.

There's my unpopular opinion.

Please do. God. I check this forum everyday for some intense debates but its the same threads on the front page. Its like every forum I used to go to is dying if not dead already.

I'm so bored I check the R&S and biology sections of yahoo answers just to read the crazy things people come up with. Too bad you need to give them a phone number to make a yahoo account.

I hate how so many people, including those on KnowYourMeme, just abuse certain memes, phrases or words to hell and back.
- 'Still a better love story than Twilight', 'Obviously photoshopped Little Mac' and 'Call of Duty is for children' are some of the worst abominations of a "joke" I have ever heard or seen in my life, and I still don't get why people are so in love with them.
- 'Expand Dong' used to be a fine meme, but it did not take long before the image gallery was littered with unfunny sex jokes.
- 'Cancer' and 'autism' should have never been used as insults, and 'weeaboo' sounds retarded and is mostly used by overly sensitive dub fanboys/American cartoon purists.
- I think "fedoras" (which are actually called a trilby) were mostly ruined by people who constantly mocked the ones wearing them. I am not ashamed for owning a trilby, because it is a goddamn hat and I do not care what other people think of it.
- One final unrelated thing: I think small breasts are very underrated while huge breasts are severely overrated.

I hate tetris. Like, I really hate that game. I hate playing it, I hate any spinoff fangames of it, I hate all of it. It's just not a fun game.

I hate both Adoseofbuckley and Mr Enter because they both seem too angry and mean-spirited

And now to add to what I've said before, now we've got some new controversies where reading some of the comments, and seeing them getting a decent number of upvotes, is honestly making me lose faith in parts of the KYM community and I'm beginning to feel like what Mare's said about /pol/ leaking and the like is becoming annoyingly true.

Radical social justice types annoy the crap out of me, yes, but the people on the very opposite end of the spectrum are no better and are basically just assholes themselves. Seriously seeing people try and use the "Rachel Dolezal's Racial Identity Controversy" as a way to try and discredit trangender people like me is just really annoying, especially when I suspect most of the people doing said discrediting attempts probably already had a pre-existing prejudice towards transgender people to begin with.

Lisa did nothing wrong.

The pontiac aztek is nice. I'd drive one

- I can't get into Jojo's Bizzare Adventure.
- Although I don't enjoy Twilight, it doesn't bother me. Also, Frozen was okay.
- Pacman World Rally is underrated.
- I'm tired of Gamergate. Used to be a part of it but it has almost nothing to do with the original idea on journalism. It's feels more like an "us vs them" mentality now.
- I don't believe anybody should worry about the "SJW's". Most of them seem like lost teenagers or people who are going through a phase. It's best to ignore them.
- Autism and cancer shouldn't be used as insults.
- I don't find people with darker skin attractive.
- I dislike food like pizza, bacon, eggs and popcorn. Beef, pork and fish also taste disgusting to me. The scent is enough to make me feel sick. The only meats I like are chicken and turkey.
- Kanye West and Kim Kardashian aren't that bad.
- Not bothered by trans or sexual identities besides the ordinary male, female, straight and gay. I believe it's more of cordinate system/4 sided. With male, female, both and neither. Sometimes with someone falling inbetween/on a neutral zone.
- Pronouns outside of he/she/they are grammatically incorrect.
- I don't have a problem with new music and "violent" and sexual songs.
- Although parents have the right to raise their children the way they wish. I believe parents shouldn't act so skittish around kissing or sex scenes with children. (Unless the kids are really young.)
- Transracial doesn't exist. Wanting a dark/light complexion doesn't make you a different race or "transracial".
- Sex is overrated.
- We should focus more on friendships and close relationships.
- Pewdiepie can be funny every now and then.
- Most movies are boring.
- People may not realize it, but men face prejudices like any other identity. I really find it unfair and we should really work more on both genders.
- I actually like Skrillex and Borgore's music.
- We should really stop arguing on what's "real music".
- "Racist" and "sexist" humour can be funny.
- First Person Shooters are fun, despite the negative views people have on the community.
- Incest and polyamory should be legal as long as it's consensual.
- I'm against usage of marijuana and alcohol.
- Rats, sharks, snakes and lizards are cute.
- Dolphins are terrible creatures.
- Buzzfeed quizzes can be fun when you're bored and have nothing else to do. Some of them are quite funny.

-I liked motion controls, as long as I'm able to fulfill the needed settings ( 10-12 feet away, calibration, etc). I see full well how iit sucks, though.
-I like(d) PewDiePie. He had funny videos and funny characters. Not to mention the fanimations were fantastic.
-I don't hate mobile games. At all. It might be because I grew on handhelds, but I always liked handhelds. I think the ability to play something like FF6 on my phone is a great idea. (Those mobile remakes would be nice on a Vita or 3Ds, though…wink wink
-I'm the least excited for Ryu in smash 4. I think Roy, Lucas, and the costumes are higher up on my "DO WANT" list. I don't mind getting him though.

◆Those who make great fan works out of hated/backlashed franchises deserve a respect for making something great despite knowing that they may lose reputation for liking that franchise.

◆In similar fashion, someone who associated him/herself with PETA deserves respect when that person uncovers inhumane animal treatment and does not participate things that make PETA a laughing stock.

I've never understood the complaints about CGI in movies. I think the best CGI is a rival to live action and the worst CGI still looks better than average claymation.
