If anything, being part of the Escapist has given me a much more open mind about things I don't immediately understand.
Like your views on furries.

Say what you will about them, at least they approach their day bright eyed and bushy tailed! :D

I used to think...
Well, I used to think a lot of things. But I can't think of a single thing that doesn't boil down to the pervasive ignorance of being a kid. And honestly? I haven't bothered to remember those mistaken thoughts once I've learned better. It's all a blur confined to my memories alone and I was never a vocal enough child to voice them.

In the more recent years, I don't think there's any (relatively more informed) opinion that I've made that I'm not still willing to stand by.

Oh I'm wrong all the time. Seriously, just look up a random post of mine, and chances are I'm wrong.

I don't know if this counts, but recently I've realized that when I (and most people) say that Superman isn't a relatable character because he's too strong. Well after getting more into Superman works I've come to realize that not only are we wrong when we say that, but we're kind of missing one of the biggest themes of Superman when we say that.

I used to LOATHE Anime

I still feel that a bit but I do love some of it...I hate it because I love it..
I was like this as well. But then I discovered manga and came to realize that the manga is usually much better. Especially Shonen.

I mention somewhere in this forum threads that I actually did liked Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword but that was the first few hours in the game in my defend.

Now that I had played and finish it all, I board on the hate train, agreeing with the other people hating it. (I did mention in another thread that I take back everything nice I had said to that game!)
The most infuriating thing about LOZ:SS is how close it was to being great. Cut out the pointless padding, give us the bow a lot earlier, give us an option to make Fi a mute, get rid of the motion controls... You know, it is like every part of the game was almost amazing, but they screwed each part up individually with bad decisions. Everything was so close to being so awesome.

Plenty of times people have convinced me that i was wrong.

Typically this was when using incorrect facts myself (failed source check) or they bring in viewpoints i forgot to consider. I can't remember any cases specifically, but it has happened a lot. I'm not above admitting i was wrong.

At least DVS will be joining me.

And since I'm consigned there already, now I can talk in movie theaters to my heart's content!

I felt like I should just quote this since I was going to say the same thing anyways. I couldn't have been more ignorant and stupid than when I used to poke fun at bronies back in April 2011. Oh sure, there have been a few other stupid/silly mistakes I've made on the forums (like the time Andy Chalk pointed out that I had completely misread on article he made and helped me correct myself) but this one is something I will always remember.

P.S. Sorry for "using" your post again Daystar. Hopefully I won't have to do that again. =3

Don't worry about it.

If anything, I can always be used as a bad example :D

I used to think spinach was disgusting, and then I had Spinach and Artichoke dip.

That shit is delicious! :D

Also was the same way with avocados, but I discovered guacamole. My love for Mexican food grew many many times that day.

...what?

OH! You wanted some serious answer, didn't you?

Well, I'm normally wrong about certain things, but I can't be bothered to list them all, I'd be here all day.

I used to believe there wasn't any dubstep worth listening to at all... and then the Borderlands 2 launch date trailer came out:


So yes, I was completely wrong about that. There's actually a fair bit of dubstep I'll listen to out of choice these days.

When I went through high school they were still teaching Francis Fukuyama's "End Of History" as if it was a done deal.

Yeah. That didn't pan out.

I thought that Jack White and be default the Raconteurs, The White Stripes, and The Dead Weather were lame junk music and good God was i wrong about that.
Oh dear God, how did you think that?

OT: Far too much, like faaaar too much.
I just thought that Hardest Button to Button and 7 nation army were rather pretentious and crappy and now i look back and kick myself in the man parts for it
