Unpopular Opinions

[Ikasury]

I think Korra is a much better Avatar than Aang.

of all the ones i saw up here... have to quote this one as i totally believe it too!! XD

OT: Fanfiction is awesome and better then most of the stuff in Barne's & Nobels right now...

i like the camp-er then camp Batman & Robin way better then the Nolan Batman trilogy combined...

i did not and still am not very impressed with the Marvel movies, they're 'okay' at best imo...

Sailor Mercury and Krillan are the most badass/important characters in their respective series, because without them shit would have ended with season 1...

i hate Final Fantasy 7, Sephiroth, Cloud and Arieth's love-triangle of doom is likely the reason Twilight exists and the best and most developed characters in that one were Yuffie and Vincent and those were the OPTIONAL characters...

-Fuck Handsome Jack.

He took my loot based shoot-'em up and filled it with the same type of self absorbed inanity that I hate on the internet. The Borderlands universe just became a stage for "What's Handsome Jack going to do next?!".

- On the same token, fuck people's general attitudes now.

The "If you don't agree with me, you're stupid and wrong" mindset that everyone seems to have now isn't brilliant, it isn't revolutionary, you're not a trailblazer since you're absolutely following a well-worn trail that almost 80% of the net population follows now.

People can have different opinions, and you can address them. That's great. That's discourse. But to de-evolve into insults and rage doesn't fix anything. It doesn't open minds. It creates divides and we get no where in a conversation. It takes no effort to stay as a moody 12 year old kid who only knows curses and dismissal as ways of 'communicating'. It takes stronger people to be ready to be proven wrong or find new ways of thinking.

- I'm tired of certain women who are not conventionally attractive trying to guilt people to find their shape/"off beat looks" to be attractive.

Here's the thing. I'm black. My culture tends to like curvier women as it is. So I honestly have no problem being attracted to a heavier girl. But there have been more than a few instances where I wasn't attracted to a girl of a certain size and she's convinced that it was due to that.

They ran off and told our mutual friends that. I had so many people come up to me, shaming me for not giving these girls a chance.

First off.. what's the problem with that? Why should I even feel bad if I wasn't able to find fat women attractive (once again, I do)? I've had girls who turned me down because they weren't attracted to Black Guys try to make me feel bad that I didn't give a girl who was overweight a chance. If you can see my skin color first, why can't I see anything else of a woman that I might find displeasing first?

Secondly, I know for a fact (since it happened to me) that girls don't go run to other girls and try to shame a girl into liking guys. Before when this type of thing happened, both men and women would tell me to be a man, suck it up and try again. We're not allowed to have feelings. Just accept your loss and move on. I never got anyone going the extra mile trying to shame someone into liking me.

So Why are guys always supposed to find the inner beauty of a woman, while a woman can be discerning? It's like "Hey, you have a dick. Feel grateful that anyone selected you"

Pandas are a useless animal and should be allowed to go extinct.

What "use" is any creature, including humans? Usually, living is considered an end in itself, not least by humans.

 

[crimson5pheonix]

Oh, I nearly forgot, bacon is horrible. It tastes bad and it's horrible for you. I don't understand putting bacon on everything.

I am not placing judgement on the value of a panda's life. What I am saying is that pandas as a species are poorly suited to survival, and are entirely dependent on human intervention to live.

- The ending of the legend of Korra made sense and my wife and I saw it coming.

- Dyed hair is just hotter, sorry if all my adolescent crushes were anime characters.

- Game of Thrones is a bad show, I stopped watching at the start of this season because every original line and change is cringeworthy.

- I don't particularly believe in cultural relativism, I think it's a concept that is ultimately used to justify inhumane behavior.

- I enjoyed The Order 1886 (got it used and returned within a week for a full refund).

- I think cats are better than dogs, still love both, I just think that if a cat loves you, it means more.

- I didn't believe that the Gamejournopros were a shadowy cabal of SJW's dictating the future of games journalism.

- I think FF7 holds up in terms of gameplay and narrative and I find it's Lego character models charming.

- Invincible really is the best superhero comic in the universe (as it so boldly claims on every cover).

- Reality has a liberal bias.

I'm sorry, but that's like saying that if you wrap a rope around my neck and start to strangle me, I've evolved poorly to cope with the rigors of life without you NOT killing me.

A better analogy would be if you sat down in front of a steamroller, and every time the townsfolk moved you away from it you went back and sat in the same place.

 

[Rattja]

Well my opinion is that we value life far too much and we should stop trying to save everyone and let nature do its thing. Or at least stop having so many children because we are too many already.


In general I don't see death as such a bad thing, it's just a part of it all. It's not good, it's not bad, it just is.

I don't think suicide is a cowardly act, and I prefer to disregard the opinions of those that call it such. People with severe mental disorders, terminally ill people, people with no positive future despite having no disorder or illness, I believe, should consider suicide. Which is more expensive: a crematorial funeral, or the afflicted to continue being a burden to family and society because these people are incapable of recovering or smartening up?

In any case, I think those that commit suicide (preferably by their own choice as opposed to coerced into it) should be lauded as heroes, as they effectively step aside for more useful, productive people to step in and advance humanity.

This is close to what I feel as well. You do not choose to be born into this world, but you can choose to leave it, and you should be allowed to do so if you so desire regardless of reason. Many tend to label it as a selfish act, without realizing that keeping someone in this world against their will just because you want to is just as selfish if not even more so.
That being said, I do understand the problems around it, and exactly how it would be done is a bit tricky.

 

[Asclepion]

OK, but we're still the ones who brought he steamroller to the party. Unless you want to argue that after millions of years the panda suddenly became unsuited to its environment, and not that the environment is changing... and I'd like to hear that argument to be honest.

Don't get me wrong - if someone mowed down every dolphin in the world with a machine gun, the loss would be a terrible tragedy. Whales, Giant Tortoises, etc are all wonderful, and evolution is no justification for callous behavior towards the other beings that we share the world with.

I find it funny that this is considered an unpopular opinion now.

OP: Alright, time to get some shit off of my chest:

I didn't like TLoU. I found all of the characters that I met to be boring and unlikable with little to no redeeming value. Tess was a ***** who deserved to die, Sam and Henry were screaming to be killed, Joel and Ellie went through predictable arcs, and the only character I liked was Bill, and only because he turned the Infected in his town into his personal security system.

I found the ending of Mass Effect 3 to be an unintentional but nevertheless interesting statement on the overall place of mankind and freewill in the big scheme of things, in that we are not in control of everything that happens to us and that those who do not believe in victims of circumstance have never been one.

I know that the "Friendzone" exists because I had a friend in high school who was in it. How do I know he was in the Friendzone? Because not once did he ever complain about being in love with this girl and being relegated to friend status despite her knowledge of his feelings for her.

World peace in an inherently good but impossible goal to achieve based simply on the chaotic nature of humans and how likely it is that there will be that one bastard who embodies everything wrong with the world born at some point in history. Humans are too random and sporadic in nature for this to not happen.

I don't like bacon because I grew up on Winnie the Poo and I identified with Piglet the most.

In Gurren Lagann I think that Yoko was a ***** and the ending was one of the worst endings in fictional history and if anyone disagrees with me I will calmly and loudly scream why I am right at them in a voice reminiscent of The Great Kamina with well thought-out reasons (in my opinion) that I have yet to see rebuked.

I hate it when people complain about how much they hate the popular thing right now because there are always people who are like that and they always hang out around the parts of the internet where I am no matter where I hide. I don't care if you hate PewDiePie or Justin Bieber or Frozen or whatever else is popular to you. Because if you've said it, then I've already heard it too many times for one person to handle with any reasonable standard of sanity.

Time travel is impossible simply because when it was created, time was altered to the timeline that we now exist in. If time travel was ever invented, it has already been used and the only proof I need is that we exist with our current history.

I've never seen the use in philosophy because it cannot possibly aid you in any way, shape, or form. Whatever messages that you could ever find in philosophy I've already discovered through an entire childhood of television. I don't care if humans are fundamentally evil or not, I don't care what the nature of morality is, and I don't care what the purpose of life is. They are cool questions to ponder over, but if you honestly attempt to make it your living, I will simply say good luck and walk away shaking my head.

Christ, that got really weird on me. I apologize.

This is starting to sound like a case of eugenics or genocide, but unless these people show a genuine desire to work and/or attain higher education (so they become people of higher value), they should be killed.

tl;dr: if the slackers cannot or will not serve in life, their deaths and organs can serve others.

Eugenics would be based on genetics, genocide is typically of a particular ethnic group, but yeah, I think it applies here; I can't come up with another appropriate term for the mass slaughter of a designated undesirable group.

I'm sorry, but that's like saying that if you wrap a rope around my neck and start to strangle me, I've evolved poorly to cope with the rigors of life without you NOT killing me.

A better analogy would be if you sat down in front of a steamroller, and every time the townsfolk moved you away from it you went back and sat in the same place.

@Rattja: At best, death is a mystery we all have to face... why the rush?

This dude is talking about becoming Hitler 2.0 and you guys are arguing about pandas... ya'll mothers need priorities.

 

[Muspelheim]

I believe that the death penalty is the only just punishment for crimes of exceptional cruelty, and that the headsman is still a neccessary role in human life.

To weigh it off slightly, I also believe that being anti-enviromental is not being practical; it's being short-sighted. That no matter how irritating militant enviromentalists are, it is not an excuse to deplete and poison the earth that we grow our bread in. Bread that we all need to eat.

To add to that; "robotic bees" are going to be utterly, utterly useless compared to the genuine article, and resources spent on them instead of maintaining a healthy bee stock are wasted resources.

 

[TakerFoxx]

A utopian society is not only impossible, but an inherently dreadful concept and is far worse than the chaotic, imperfect world we live in now.
