The Unpopular Opinions thread

[SlEEPYTEARRS]

Say what you want about Reddit, but I think it's not that bad if you look in the right places with the right people. I've seen two small subreddits with niche game series and overall, the people there are pretty decent. Rarely do I see someone being indecent towards others. And my favourite part is that posts with inside jokes come every once in a while giving me a small laugh every now and then. Though I do agree on how Reddit is awful in other places where more people are involved, especially if it has anything to do with politics. Also, I'd avoid the Animal Crossing subreddit like a plague if I were you.

100% agree. people also bash tumblr a lot but honestly how much youll like tumblr is based on who you follow. ive been on there for about 10 years and never have seen anything that i didnt want to see because i followed people who just post memes/aesthetic pictures. same with reddit tbh. i go to tumblr when twitter gets just too toxic

Twitter is terrible and needs to die

Twitter is a tool. You can actually engineer the newsfeed to be pretty darn useful/entertaining if you take the time. I used to be big against it...but, I'm on there pretty often these days. Most of the top trends are garbage...but your personal feed can be whatever you want it to be, really. Also, it's a lot better now that most of the political trash is being weeded out.

I don’t think you should have to do elective courses at the university level unless you choose to. Everything should be relevant to the degree you’re paying for, unless you CHOOSE to fulfill certain credits by taking unrelated (but equivalent) courses for the purpose or broadening your horizons or whatever

Fan service is ruining anime!!! (Don't know if this is unpopular or not )

I don’t like Star Wars.

The fact that the president can pardon horrible people for horrible crimes is disgusting. Where are those checks and balances that the US government is supposed to have in this case? It's just shameful. I bet he will pardon all of the people involved in the insurrection and countless other unspeakable acts.

Christmas lights are still nice in January!

Most people seem to take theirs down the first week of the month It's so much work to put them up and they look beautiful with the snow, they should be kept up longer for everyone to enjoy ~

I hate the feel of current YouTube for some reason, especially gaming content which I used to love years ago. Too much drama for my taste it seems, and more of a popularity contest. Maybe I'm not searching right. I mostly just only watch educational content and trailers for game n movies as of now. Maybe it's a age thing as coming to 29 years of life

without criticizing it for the copious amounts of controversy i never understood why people were so hyped about cyberpunk 2077 in the first place. the concept itself is nothing new (the cyberpunk genre overall is a hit or miss for me) and the game looks super boring. william gibson, the guy credited for pioneering the cyberpunk genre describing it as "GTA skinned-over with a generic 80s retro-future" was pretty funny

I know in some countries, the holiday season doesn’t end until January 6 because of Epiphany, so they usually keep holiday decorations up until after Epiphany.

Also I agree, Christmas lights aren’t completely out of season until after January.

Twitter is actually just a ****tier version of tumblr for and is for normies

both are pretty ****ty in their own way no matter the people using it, lol.

I don’t like Star Wars.

This was me for literally all of the movies...but, the spinoffs are saving it for me.

I think the lineup that Disney has planned might actually make me a fan in the end.

Last one, really hate Anti SJW YT channels.... I'll keep it at that

from someone that went through an anti sjw phase a few years ago, im glad that more people are seeing it for what it truly is. i wouldnt say its dying (Unfortunately) but a lot of people in that community are just laughing stocks.

Jaws was never my scene, and...

I don’t like Star Wars.

Sorry, that song lyric popped into my head when I read that.

both sides sucks sometimes though but yeah youtuber culture needs to die.

the idea that you NEED to do something productive with your day to count it as happy/worthwhile is dumb to me lol

i feel like their marketing team or w/e really hyped it up. the memes with keanu reeves probably contributed to that too.

"wear you face maskawareness"-aesthetic in customizable games.i don't get it.. like unless your game is a pandemic/hospital/dangerous stuff handling game etc. no need to wear one on your character to be fair. i guess certain weeb games doesn't help but ya, lol flame me.

wap is such a terrible song, the lyrics are dreadful and so rude and it's not like it has a good beat or anything
everyone has their own taste in music but i don't get how wap is so popular

also despicable me would be a really funny movie if they took minions out
seriously, gru & vector are hilarious i don't get why they even put minions in it

and finally, baby yoda is by far the creepiest thing i've seen in my life and it doesn't help that i see his face literally everywhere on the internet

Zack Snyder is completely overrated. I've never understood DC fans desperation to watch the "Snyder Cut" of Justice League, the first version (even though it was finished by Joss Whedon) was awful and I can't see the longer version being any better.
