Things you think get more hate than they deserve.

Anything that elicits this kind of response:

Honestly, do we have to hate everything that teen girls like?

I do.

I am law bound to loathe what I once was. And cringe at any pre-teen memories before burying them under layers of cynicism and snark.

Honestly I'm just disgusted that any of that constructed pig bile ever got to me in anyway (Once, I was 11, it was ONE boy band. One. Never again.) . So I am honor bound to be a grumpy old spoil sport to the coming generations. Bwhahahahaha.


But no, errrm. I dunno, many things, the internet has a taste for over-dramatization and lack of contextualizing these heinous doings. So I honestly couldn't pick one out of the bountiful tree. MMO's. Alot of people seem to picture that fat, cheeto laden, PCgamerbro mess from south park's WoW episode, when picturing the people who play them obsessively. And just the genre on it's own gets alot of undeserved flak from both those who play them and those who do not.

I retract my statement about Justin Bieber, given that apparently he likes hanging out with people into raping and beating women, doing racist graffiti and saying Anne Frank would be a belieber.

Devil's Advocate here but Justin Bieber, and by extension all celebrities. People say that their music/work sucks, and hilariously that they are 'dumb'. Seriously? If they were dumb, how exactly did they become household names? By cunning regarding knowing their audience and their strengths.

I'm sorry but no, some pop stars have a case for this but when you hear about a lot of the crap Bieber does and says then there is no way he is what I would consider smart. You have to realise a lot of these pop stars are simply products of record companies and producers which are the ones that are good at marketing and getting the stars out there.

OT: I'm going for COD, EA (especially Origin) and Microsoft.

COD deserves some for being repetitive but it gets way more than it should.

EA is the same, they should never have forced always online into Sim City and other things but the fact that people still vehemently hate EA and refuse to install Origin because they think it is malware is pretty ridiculous.

And reading some threads about the Xbox one sales numbers is depressing for some of the comments.

Call of Duty.

It really is the same game every single year but they are well made there is no denying it. Creative? They are not. But they are perfect shooters for picking up a controller, playing for an hour and just being satisfied. Other shooters like Battlefield feel like you need to play to progress or you get left behind by people with maxed out classes.

I like the arcadey feeling to Call of Duty and that's the sign of a good game to me. That said, I haven't played since Black Ops so maybe it did turn to shit? I don't know.
