Because it seems like you think like 'ayy lmao modern music is the best **** u' and if someone dislike it they are the edgy one not looking through enough for good hipster crap or something.
And your earlier post about avatar/signatures etc. Well yeah we all have different likes and dislikes eh? I mean yeah certain k-pop avatars are getting obnoxious since basically most of Brewster/Basement population has it on everywhere but eh I try to not get annoyed I guess.

Well it is an old Irish folk song from the start but I so much prefer Thin Lizzy with both Lynott's voice and the musical arrangement, the old school sound is better and more huskier, it's like Metallica wanted to do some too modern minimalist piece of it, idk.

Okay but that's not what I meant at all. Maybe you should have clarified this before attacking me and calling me edgy several times. I said I find boasting about hating modern music annoying. I never called anyone edgy and I definitely never said it was the best. Also I don't even listen to "hipster music" so idk where you got that from.

Just a reminder from the OP, everyone:
This isn't a grounds for arguing, nor is it appropriate to come into a thread just to call someone "edgy" or whatever term is being thrown around these days. This thread is for sharing opinions; we're all entitled to ours, and should be able to state them without fear of being insulted. If you happen to disagree with someone (which is bound to happen), just move on. No need to perpetuate things into a fight and have another unnecessary thread closure.
Tone it back a bit, 'kay? Thanks.

Warning: Unpopular opinion ahead!
I absolutely despise the following:
- 3rd Wave Feminists
- Social Justice Warriors
- The Left Wing Media
I used to be a proud Liberal, but the way the current leftist movement is acting makes me cringe beyond measure. I've been called a Misogynist, a "White" Male (I'm Mexcian, though the male part is true), Transphobic, Homophobic, and even Racist for debunking and debating many arguments and claims made by those listed above.
Oppression =/= Disagreeing with your opinion. 'nuff said.

Disturbed is a bad band. So is their godawful cover of Sounds of Silence urgh
@nvll
what i generally meant was that you seemed to be more pet peeved by random things rather than opinions and turning them into some basic general opinion people should have. like we can't dislike things or?

Well, I don't know how popular or unpopular these opinions are, but here goes. I don't really like anything pumpkin flavored, I prefer vanilla over chocolate, I don't like the Sonic games and I don't think they're well made, I think waiters and waitresses should just be paid a livable wage instead of having to depend on the generosity of their customers, I think college and university education is way overpriced considering so far I'm a good way through my associates and so far I've learned nothing new.
I'll probably put up more later, that's all I could think of at the moment.

Nowhere have I ever said anyone has to share my opinions. All I've been doing this thread is posting my opinions just like everyone else.
Moving on,
Intersex isn't really a gender itself, as intersex people can identify as male, female, or nonbinary. Being intersex is more of a physical thing whereas being nonbinary isn't, and nonbinary people can be dmab or dfab.

I agree with ams, but in all honesty it's with a grain of salt. What I think is that while art such as drawing/writing is important and can essentially be a well paying career, I feel that very few people get paid well for their work. There are lots of highly appraised authors and artists who make millions, but the number of young people these days who want to turn their artistic hobby into a career, and end up failing, is kind of crazy. And alot of those artists who do manage to make a career out of their work, still don't get paid nearly as well as they'd like. I feel like the art fields are highly saturated. When I went to highschool, I knew way over 15 different people who wanted art careers. About half of them wanted to be tattoo artists, which is one of the most difficult fields IMO, alot of them were girls who wanted to work in cosmetology (which doesn't always pay well), and others wanted random careers as traditional artists or photographers. Those jobs don't always pay the bills like you'd think. My point is, that art careers are real careers, and they're important to iur society, but too many people spend too much time trying to do something that they probably just couldn't survive doing. The name "starving artist" is a great example of this. When you take your art too seriously, and don't focus on actually making the money you need. Mosy artists don't gain the fame they seek until after they die anyways.

Tldr; Art careers are important, and can end up being fruitful, but artists are oversaturated these days, and many of them have a difficult time making a living.

I was told about my "transphobic" opinions being popular opinions, so I'll post it again. Trans people are trans. That's why they have the label "TRANS" woman/man, they're trans. I don't believe the bullcrap tumblr spews out that "TRANS wo/men are real wo/men uwu no matter what" because wtf?
Also, intersectional feminism is full of bullcrap that I don't even consider it real feminism. Dude, just be egalitarian.

Yeah, the whole trans thing. I have nothing against transgenders. I'll even be willing to use whatever gender words (don't know what you call gender specific words, sorry lol) you want me to use for you. However, when it comes down to it, I just can't see a trans as the gender they want to be. As in, you can have the genitals of the opposite sex, and you can look exactly like the opposite sex, but your actual chemistry is still that of your previous gender. If you're a full fledged transgender woman, you still carry your male genes, male DNA, and the testosterone you were born with. You can be pumped full of hormones and have body parts swapped, but I still believe that you are a man somewhere deep down inside of yourself. I completely respect anyone who wants to say they're a real man or woman after the transition, and I won't make a big deal about my opposing opinion, but part of you is still what you once were. My mom once told me that, "If a transgender died, and they were beyond identifiable for whatever reason, when you get down to the nitty gritty, you will find male/female DNA." Those aren't her exact words, but they're pretty close. And it's true. If you had to go as far as identifying the teeth or something, on the corpse of a transgender woman, the forensics team would automatically say "This is the coprse of a man."

- you can't say you "respect trans people" if you refuse to see them as their gender and not the sex they were assigned at birth, which has again and again been scientifically proven to be two different things (one mental one physical)
- respecting trans people is not a new tumblr thing

If you also cannot call someone who is trans what they want to be called, aka man or woman, without saying transwomen and transmen even when they do not want to be called that regularly, you are still being disrepectful just so you guys know. I know the majority of women I know who are trans really do not enjoy being called "a pretty transwoman" over just "a pretty woman".

Oh ya and just to be helpful:
- "gender words" are called pronouns
- "a trans" and "transgenders" aren't how to refer to trans people. "trans" and "transgender" are adjectives, not nouns. also even though no one's said it yet, i feel i should mention "transgendered" isn't a word.

Thank you for this. I have a hard time retaining knowledge sometimes. It feels like I never even went to grade school, to be honest.

This confuses me a little. I'm having a hard time understanding what you're trying to say, I mean.
Maybe some of the words I used were too strong or literal. I'm basically saying though (for an example), that if you were once a man, but became a woman in as many ways as possible, I wouldn't know you from any other woman unless I somehow got to see your bodily chemistry. I can accept you as a man or woman, but I cannot see you as a FULL man or woman because a part of you is still that of the opposite gender. (If that makes sense.) I have no problem using the pronouns (thank you nvll) you prefer, or treating you the way you want to be treated. THAT is what I think being respectful is, and I think that I am being respectful, since I don't think I would be hurting anyone's feelings. Everyone has different views and beliefs as to what being respectful is and what is not, though.

I also just feel that this relates to my second post. Like I said, I don't have a problem just calling someone a man or woman. I'll call them whatever they'd like me too, but there is that whole chemistry thing. I'm just stuck on it. It's not something I'd probably bring up often, but ever since I was basically told that your chemistry can still distinguish you between being male/female, a tiny party of me will always believe that someone is not what they say they are. I don't always agree with the way my mom feels, like how she says she likes gay people yet she thinks it's wrong (and she can rant about how it's unnatural for ages yet claims that she likes gay people...), but what she said about people who change their gender just made a lot of sense to me.
