pet peeves / lil stuff you cant stand

Okay, so I was obviously referring to Sonic fans when I was writing this, but I guess it can be generalized.

Anyway, if you used to be a fan of a series, but you don’t like it anymore because it’s strayed too far away from what you originally liked about it, then that’s fine. But I can’t stand it when instead of just growing up and accepting the fact that they don’t like the thing anymore, they do nothing but hate on everything new from that series and say that anyone who still likes the series are blind fanboy “meatriders” (but then they’re the ones who waste their lives making social media posts and YouTube comments/videos about how much they hate something so… who’s really the meatrider?). I don’t get it. You’re only hurting yourself and it’s just unhealthy. You’re just making yourself miserable by making your personality hating something when no one will care about your opinion if you do that. I don’t think that there is a single Sonic game that doesn’t deserve criticism. Most people who like Sonic games don’t think that either, because they acknowledge that nothing is above receiving feedback, besides the minority that really are blind fanboys. The fact that even the people that like something can admit that it can be improved proves that there’s better ways to go about criticizing something you don’t like. If you explain rationally why you don’t like it anymore and understand that other people can like it, people will listen to you, but if you can’t do that, then **** off and let people enjoy the thing you don’t. Jesus.

Tired of all the "reimagined Greek myths" books. Greek mythology is good, but it has been done to death. (usually it’s the Persephone myth) Do an Aztec or Slavic mythology-based book already!

(Maybe I'm biased. One of my OCs is an Aztec half-snake, half-humanoid demigoddess named Ticualtzincoatl. She's Quetzalcoatl's daughter by a human mother, and "heals" people through sacrifice.)

Other book pet peeves:

A bunch of titles like "The Monocle Maker's Daughter" or "The Ice-Cutter's Wife." The "wife" and "daughter" titles were fine for a while, but they've been overdone.

Lack of thicc boys in romance novels. It feels unfair. There are some with thicc girls, but what about the boys?

The book's movie or TV series poster on the cover.

Too many pop culture references.

Romance novels where the male love interest is abusive but has a "dark past" that somehow justifies it, and the girl ends up "fixing" him.

Any "not like others girls" stuff.

Real people on the cover. I don't know why, but it ruins the imagination aspect for me.

Failing to do basic research or editing. (One author copy and pasted a Zelda recipe into a historical fiction book...I'm not evening kidding! Even mentioned Lizalfos and everything!)

BookTok in general. I hate TikTok so I'm VERY biased that way lol.

People who speak like this are very annoying.

'Alpha Male' culture is generally very annoying.

When people comment “anti spiral” on random youtube posts, what does it even mean and why does youtube boost them to the top like it’s the funniest comment of the year
 
VERY minor but I saw a video of a lady interviewing the girl who played young Nessarose in Wicked. She was being nice to her for the most part, but then she said, “I’m so glad you’re in this! Representation is so important.”

Like…the girl knows she’s in a wheelchair. She knows she’s a “different” actress. It seemed like a condescending thing to say. Maybe the girl wants to act without the pressure of representing all disabled kids, you know what I mean? I think the lady meant well, but the girl just wanted to vibe on the red carpet…not be reminded that she’s “different.”

Did some digging with the interviewer and she’s a TikToker. (Drew Afualo?) OK. This is the kind of stuff that happens when you let TikTokers on the red carpet instead of reporters. I’m sorry, but getting famous on TikTok doesn’t mean you know how to talk to people. It just means you know how to make good videos.

I mean…I know influencers on the red carpet is a newer thing, and people are legitimately getting famous on social media, but I don’t know what to think If I got famous online, I wouldn’t want to be at some awards thing. They look too crowded, hence why I chose to get famous on the INTERNET and not film sets lol.
 
I can't stand when people scrape things out of metal containers with a metal object (like scraping food out of a metal pot with a metal fork). I can feel the noise in my teeth.

When people loudly bite their nails.

When people literally watch their kids be deliberately disrespectful to others in public and do nothing.

When people cut me off just to stop at a red light or make a turn. Bonus points if there was no one behind me and they couldn't wait two seconds.

I can relate to all of these but the sounds of metal stuff especially, makes me shiver everytime. Also, those moving image rulers, i looked it up they're called lenticular rulers apparently, they change image when you tilt them, if you scratch them they make this awful sound sort of like a zipper? idk i probably sound crazy but I cant STAND that sound.
 
People who insist that you MUST go to art school in order to become a "real artist." Art school is not for everyone, and not everyone wants to go to art school, and that's okay. You're not any less of an artist if you never went to art school. Some of the artists I watch on YouTube have either never went to art school in their lives or dropped out of art school.
 
I was going to post several more of mine, but realized I already posted them here, lmao.

But yeah, to piggyback off an old post of mine, not only people who judge you when they don't know what you've been through (which I'm pretty sure is just akin to cancel culture), but people who take the "moral high-ground" and act like their character is better than yours, when in reality it isn't. Ran into a situation years ago (not here) where someone decided to berate me in DMs after I had already left the place for good, like I think this was literally MONTHS after I had left, and the person decided it was their divine mission to give me crap for nothing, lmao. I guess some people really DO have too much time on their hands. 🙃

It shouldn't be normalized to speak of any persons body weight.

I'm 160 LBS, but I'm not too defined. It's misleading so I've been told I should 'eat more'. When a family member does this I will call it out as body shaming.

That's in the healthy weight range for my height. What more do you want?

I ALWAYS had the "you're tiny, you should eat more!" comments growing up and it annoyed me. I was eating perfectly fine, I just was naturally thin. I eat slow so I'd always be at last eating at the table and even today, I still get paranoid being the last one at the table.

People truly need to stop commenting on people's eating habits and body weight. Unless I'm legit SICKLY looking, I'm fine.

Yeah it's really dumb. For some reason most people think it's acceptable to make fun of someone or constantly refer about someone's weight if they are on the thin side. No one should be shamed for their weight on either spectrum, but society sees it acceptable to 'skinny shame' and it shouldn't be that way. I know more people who are shamed for being thin than the other way around and if they speak up about it their feelings are invalidated.

It's like if someone said 'You're so small you should eat more' and your response was 'You should eat less.' then your comment was rude/inconsiderate (and yes it would be) but theirs wasn't? It just doesn't make sense.

"You should take it as a compliment! It's better than being called fat!" was a common retort whenever a skinny person complained about people commenting on their body. So annoying. Being called too skinny is almost as if the person is thinking that you have an ED or something.
 
There are people in my general area that still have political signs on their front lawns, and a few businesses even have huge Trump flags flying on their flagpoles. Honestly, if these guys haven't taken these down by now, I'm automatically assuming that they're cult supporters. Sorry, but that's how I personally feel about it.

Oh yeah. I was always given thinly veiled insults masked as a lighthearted joke. And invalidating everything about it which made it feel like it didn't matter. I used to keep quiet about it because people gassed me up about it, but society and people just really need to do better and mind their own business regardless of what weight spectrum someone is on.

Everyone has some form of self-esteem issues. Just because they don't align with yours doesn't mean they aren't there.

When people give in stained/unwashed clothes, broken stuff, or just junk to a charity shop. It's not a free dump.

Also, when it's completely empty on bus, in a church, in a car park, and someone comes and sits/parks *right* next to you. What are they achieving by this?

lol this reminds me when I went to one of those donation stores and there was a PC monitor, but the stand was broken. So it was the monitor with a jagged pole in the middle where the stand used to be. Like a digital picket sign 😆
