♦ Unpopular Opinion Thread ♦

Posted 5 years, 5 months ago (Edited 5 years, 4 months ago) by Enigma_Host

Hi! 

Since the original Unpopular Opinion Thread is locked (it turned into a shit-show reeeaaal fast) , I've gotten permission to remake it. 

I've decided to use the original rules for the thread since those were gucci

Edit: I didn't mean to post ic aaaaaaaa

Spoilers: Rules

- Don't be very rude or snarky to others. Remember, everyone has their own personal opinions.

- Disagreeing with someone's opinion is allowed, as long as it's not rude.

- Yo don't namedrop people, even if they're not on this site.

- To avoid causing a mess, refrain from starting an argument at all times!

- If there's something wrong going on in this thread, or if it's going out-of-hand, please PM me so that I can take care of it!

- Vaguing someone is prohibited, and it's connected to the third rule.

- Please do not post more than twice per page, so that it won't cause too much of a mess.

- It's okay if you vent, don't go too all-out on it. This is not the Vent Board.

- Also, please try not to turn this thread into a saltfest.

- Please, no opinions focused on racism, LGBT, politics, religion and the like. These will cause a massive flamewar. Controversial opinions are also not allowed unless taken lightly.

- Don't say stuff like "I don't like X" or "What? I love X!" in a way that's aggressive. This is meant to be a nice thread about sharing your unpopular opinions, not countering someone else's opinion.

-If it's something nsfw, use a spoiler box, or blackout the text  like this

- Don't call this thread out as a "bad idea." If you don't like this thread, please do not post here.

-Failure to comply with these rules will result in a warning, or ban depending on how severely you broke the rules.

Ey yo,  if you see someone breaking the rules, pm me. I love it when ppl do this because I'm a blind bih.

The comic Grayson wasn't very good, it's the source of one of the worst version of Dick Grayson, the near constant objectification of Dick was unbearable, and it's a massive disappointment that the main writer was allowed to continue writing Dick on the Rebirth Nightwing title. Seeley reduced Dick down to a watered down version of fanon!Dick. Grayson!Dick is the ultimate "well at least you're pretty". He's pretty, flippy, has a nice bum and stupid. That's it.

While I appreciate Judd Winick bringing Jason Todd back from the dead, his is one of the worst portayals of Jason's character. Being stuck in a Lazarus Pit is not enough to make Jason (who absolutely hates drugs since his stepmum died of an overdose) take over the drug trade in Gotham and cause craploads of collateral damage. It's better than Grant Morrison's ginger spotty balding pretentious monster, Bruce Jones' tentacle monster!Jason, the abomination from Battle for the Cowl and the version who started a gang war with children in Robin (Jason is very protective over women and children), but it's still horrible, a major source of character assassination and nasty that it's a lot of people's first exposure to Jason.

Ginger!Jason Todd is a monstrosity. 

The white streak is not canon and should never appear. It's only good for helping differentiate the Batboys.

I'm getting genuinely annoyed with Youtubers who complain about being demonetized. I know its a big deal for some creators who rely heavily on their content for funds, but many people have suffered from demonetization. These few specific Youtubers I'm thinking of though mention it on a near constant basis, whereas most other Youtubers I follow with the same issue don't push it or mention it consistently.
That's not even really my biggest issue, though. Like I said I totally understand that the demonetization issue has led to a lot of financial strain on some creators, and if they want to promote their Patreon or something similar then more power to them. My issue is these two specific Youtubers I watch who create content based on unsolved crime, among other things. To me its just insanely disrespectful to advertise your obnoxious shaving products for 3 minutes on a video meant to shed light on some aspects of crime. Its not only disrespectful to the victim of said crime, but its also disrespectful to their families.
These are not the only videos these creators post, either. They have their fair share of product promotional videos, or even silly comedic videos that they could advertise on instead. Their dumb ads belong on those videos, not on the videos meant to shed light on a victim, their family, and the life they led before they passed on.
I wanted to post on this specific thread because I've called these Youtubers out in their comments sections, and received some backlash from fans. I know demonetization is a huge problem for Youtube's creators, but people should be more careful about how they promote their sponsors.

blacking out text like this is bad because i can still see it with my one good eye

fictionkin is fun dont even try to debate me on this kshsgld let kids enjoy things!


mothgf

_exxus_ let them enjoy it, sure, but when it steps on the toes of creators who don't like the idea of people taking their character and acting like they are them, it's no longer fun, it's a pain. EDIT: Besides, as far as I know, kinning isn't something for fun, it's a legit mental illness. Trying to turn it into a fun fad is, imo, very disrespectful to those who have to deal with living with the illness. That's my unpopular opinion of the day.

nitocris i wasnt even referencing that at all! please dont act like i even meant that in the slightest!

edit: i said dont try to debate me on this, please stop. it isnt a mental illness.

aska-ray

216th

^^^^ yes but let's be real it will be so quiet like grandmother's attic that she's too arthritic to reach anymore 

At least it won't have stupid topics popping up like mushrooms

Instead it will have cranky complaints and vague reminisces like dusty old cobwebs

I know all the ways it is a bad idea but I STILL WANT IT

Forcing labels onto real people is disgusting and u should feel bad if u do it! You don’t get to slap the mentally ill label on me, you don’t get to slap the “bisexual” label on me, because I’m neither of those things! It’s especially prominent with youtubers, and stop it!! It’s gross!
