My Unpopular Opinions... Yours?

The problem I find is when people get overly sensitive and attack you. Like, chill out.
 
Well a lot of people here have the #easily triggered defensive tumblr sjw-state of mind so yeah sometimes there are too much edgy ideas that people think it's "right". Also I've been on tumblr before it went into this cesspool and just saying a lot of forum sites have this thinking that they need to be overly defensive or sneery at people if they just ask eg.what pronoun they have or have fake feminist ideas idek.
 
Oh yeah I also think (romantic) shipping is kinda lame. Like I don't really care if someone does it (and I do have a little handful myself) but I feel like it's focused on too much and people are so obsessed with romantic relationships that they forgot how great the existence of plain ol' non-romantic non-sexual friendship is. Not to mention the nonsensical shipping of people who have zero chemistry and/or zero interactions and would obviously not even want to be in the same room as each other?? Wh???

I don't remember if I posted this already or not, if I did my bad.

Heard the comparison that 4chan is for neckbeards and Tumblr for legbeards and now I can't get it out of my head. :p

Lol 4chan can actually be kinda fun if you go in the right threads, also their music archive can be golden sometimes if you're looking for obscure stuff.

When people say "Ha, you play Animal Crossing? Girl!" (i'm a boy) it really annoys me. People need to mind their own business, especially if they play Pokemon GO. By the way, my unpopular opinions:
1) Don't like Pokemon GO
2) Don't watch TV
3) Hate anything pepperoni/salami related: pepperoni pizza is the most controversial product in my experiences
4) Love the Pokemon TCG (not unpopular on a gaming forum, but in a classroom with 30 students who only like clothes and sports I'm a singular entity lol)

as a GIANT pokemon fan, pokemon GO was super disappointing.

Definitely was. I tried it and then bailed soon after. I find it much more fun to actually play Pokemon.

My phone can't handle that yeah it's enough with everyone around barely having any knowledge about the series at all just "like.. uh purple grey pok?mon" and "omg marowak" etc.

i don't get the idea that it should be that simple.. like how did a nice rpg turn into that :/

I think Tumblr is largely a cesspool and its ideals, vocabulary, and angry brand of militant feminism leaks onto TBT far too often. Not actually a very unpopular opinion on any site other than Tumblr itself but here on TBT it probably would be. :p

Tumblr is the worst place on the internet. It's not only a place full of extreme bullying, but it is extremely left-winged (the kind of leftism I really hate).

Yes, I am a right-winger, so don't be surprised to see me criticize places for being so liberal. But it's not just the liberalism I'm against. The kind they are is so bad that even an average liberal can't even respect. I'm against extreme conservatism too.

I also hear how bad their animal crossing community is compared to here. If you have just one unpopular villager in your town, your town will be judged as "bad" as you'll be blacklisted for having a bad town (even if you did a nice job decorating it). Bell Tree Forums can get heated, but it has calmed down over the ten months I was off. But the AC part of Tumblr, I don't know when it's gonna calm down.

Don't worry, I hate tumblr a lot. I don't even like these social media sites. The only one I'm a member of is Facebook, and I rarely use it. I'm more active here than there (even when it comes to weird apple discussions).

It does have quite a bully/mobbing culture. I dislike the far-left as much as anyone due to how blatantly hypocritical they tend to be; the social justice movement especially. A real shame they ended up hijacking their side of the political spectrum. Anyway without getting too political you can avoid the worst of it on Tumblr, it all depends on who you follow. There's far better and less angry, hate filled communities out there though.

The mods here keep order but aren't super strict. You can pretty much do whatever so long as you don't make personal attacks, troll, ****post, bully others, or scam people in trades. Your mileage may vary. :p

oh really? I got an infraction for posting a meme about mushrooms *sigh*

Yeah that'll go under ****posting. I've gotten warnings for it too but had it coming. :p

I'm actually okay with the post quality rule. I know you may think it's unfair to receive infractions for one word replies, but it makes sense. A forum discussion is for actual discussions about something and not spam. Of course, I got hit by a post quality infraction (twice), but even I thought it was fair (first time was for posting a one-word reply, and the second time is for posting in a spambot thread).
 
Btw I actually kinda like Pok?mon Go. Sure it's nothing like the main games but I just didn't expect it to be. For a simple and free mobile game it's surprisingly addicting.
 
i honestly hate ereri and dont know why its popular
levi is a 30+ man and eren is like 15 years old its gross

Haven't read too much political stuff there unless it's those "pretend-hippies" who only think that branch contains washing your hair with baking soda and the likes, I don't see them too much being actual into the politics or knowing their history for real...

About the staff, I think it's a bit obvious how "order" they are at time and what people can get away with... And I know you should try avoid biting back sometimes people p much ask for it lol.

I've found the mods on the animal crossing community to be very similar though. There's a lot of favouritism that goes on over there too. You find some people getting away with things that other just get told about straight away. Have experienced it myself.
Find the mods here to be very good generally. Think they're quite strict about post quality and things but that's not a bad point.
I do wish some things got picked up on faster, but I guess they can't be everywhere at once. Generally think they keep the site safe for everybody and they're very fair
