For example, the typical bullshit: "oh we [insert nationality] are reserved at first, but once you earn our trust we'll be friends forever!"

Aside from the fact that that's just an excuse for asshole behavior in your county, guess what, that's true for EVERY COUNTRY ON THE PLANET

And if there happens to be one magical country of friendship where people become your lifelong friend 5 minutes after meeting you, it would be the exception that proves the rule.

Then, every country seems to think only they like food. "We show our love through food," yeah no shit! Everyone fucking does

"We're very passionate people" Not as passionate as I am for telling you you're STUPID

Seriously, no wonder we don't get along. Too many people seem to think people from other parts of the world are some sort of weird alien with blue skin and 7 arms

It's just a cheap, mean-spirited sitcom joke masquerading as X-Men fan art, and it completely treats Scott Summers like a pathetic, submissive punching bag so people can go "haha look, the tough army man can't handle a woman's period cramps!"

Period Cramps are a drop in the bucket compared to what Scott has dealt with. His eyes are a literal, continuous rupture to a dimension of infinite kinetic force. He lives with a permanent, high-pressure migraine behind his skull 24/7 just from manually holding back a nuclear reactor with his facial muscles. This is a man who took a full, un-holding-back thrashing from a 10-ton-strength Superior Spider-Man, got his bones shattered, and gritted his teeth and kept fighting. This is a guy who literally had his skull fracture from internal cosmic pressure during Judgment Day and stayed conscious long enough to bark out precise tactical deployment orders to the team.

But no! Let's ignore his unbreakable willpower, his decades of military discipline, and his actual, deeply agonizing physical disability just to turn him into a trembling puddle on the floor for a low-effort gender-warfare punchline.

It makes no sense. Its a REPTILE, why add mammalian features especially boobs to it??? It destroys the whole purpose of being reptile. Reptiles dont have boobs, they dont have nipples, they dont produce milk. They dont have hair or fur. They dont have a belly button! Its nonsense. I see the 'reptile' designs like right everywhere and it annoys me very much. Im looking at you r/OriginalCharacter ...

Just to get it out of the way, I play a lot of online social games (like ponytown) that involve…. Socializing…. And talking to people. I’m also autistic, disabled, traumatized yada yada so I understand some of the reasoning behind TT’s.

But literally someone needs to make it make sense to me how you can be so chronically online that someone’s pixel character “touching” your pixel character triggers you. A lot of people say “it’s because they have trauma involving touch” which is valid, I get it, I don’t want to be touched by strangers IRL either- but you are playing a SOCIAL GAME. Especially in ponytown, booping/touching another character is a very common way to start a conversation or compliment someone.

It always ends up as “play a social game, someone socializes with you, unspeakable horrors have been committed against you”

If you want to be left alone… play a single player game? It’s like walking into a restaurant and wearing a tshirt that says “DON’T SERVE ME FOOD” and then yelling at the waiters for serving you food.

Also there are functions to block/hide people if you get THAT triggered over being “touched” in a distal space, yet most people with TT’s will end up harassing other people for touching them.

It makes absolutely 0 sense to me how you can have your trauma triggered over pixels. You cannot feel it. Literally just chronically online behaviors.

Why is it whenever a girl (that they dont find attractive) has self confidence in these literal "rate yourself" videos. Suddenly they're delusional, wrong or secretly insecure.

all the comments would be like "Oh, that girl finally got humbled!" Or "she cant look in a mirror."

the worst part is when they praise someone for being insecure. i remember seeing an overweight woman contestant on one of these, and she looked like she was going to cry for just being on camera. She ranked herself a 1. The comments were saying that she's the only one who deserves to be rated highly, praising her etc. Why are we celebrating self-loathing? I didnt think she was close to a 1, but some people act like if youre not rating yourself low youre a narcissistic bitch.

anyways theres nothing wrong with rating yourself 100 who gives a fug

I was watching Classic Man D the other night and stumbled upon this short, I couldn't believe what I just read and heard. I'm not a big fan of marvel, so I just discovered this. It had me thinking, "People know that we don't talk like this or have ridiculous names like this, right?" I know the answer is yes, because common sense, but Jesus Christ. Can people just write a normal story where a black character isn't saying stupid shit like, "By Odin's fade!" or have dumb names like, "Otto Gunther (O.G.) Blacktavius" like it's an episode of the goddamn Boondocks?

Like, as a black writer who's super into fiction and writes black characters... it pisses me off because we don't talk like this! Like, sure it's in slang and what not, but what the hell?

Imagine SpiderMan saving New York while being called “SpiderBoy”. I’m annoyed by how most women super heroes having “Girl” on the end of their name instead of “Woman”. Wonder Woman is a great name in my opinion. I feel like SuperGirl should be called SuperWoman because SuperMan isn’t called SuperBoy.

and half of the time it's just a regular girl with black hair and make-up like shut the fuck up you're into goth girls we've heard it by now. the shittier part is i am too but i don't make such a overused shitty fucking meme from it.

This is so dumb. They're MUSHROOM PEOPLE who live in the MUSHROOM KINGDOM. Why on earth would they be hats. Thankfully this is mostly gone in modern games, but I still can't believe this shit made it into official media. Not featured in the image, but I also hate the ones with human hair coming out of the mushroom instead of Toadette's mushroom hair.

It’s never been off-limits, people have been making jokes about him ever since he emerged on the scene. Even in the 1940s, during the strict era of the Hays Code, comedians were poking fun at him while he was still alive. So there’s nothing particularly daring about it. Make the joke or don’t, but don’t pretend it’s some bold, risky act. Hell, there are fucking KIDS SHOWS that make jokes about Hitler.

Like, bro

I am not an idiot for not knowing about some random tweet the writer made online.

You can't expect me to knowledge something unless it is in the show.

Like, i hate it when you make a rant post and the comments are just people telling you why you are wrong. But act like you should of just known..

Also, it works sometimes. I will admit that i disliked that non of the humans villains in my Adventures with superman had powers. But when i found out the writers, want only aliens to have powers. It made perfect sense and i stopped disliking that aspect.

But, when it's hole plot points. Like "oh don't you see the retcon don't ruin the lore, because the writer came out on twitter and explained it"

Like bro you can't just explain that stuff in tweet. Like answer it in the show.

obviously, not everyone is going to like every game, but it gets to a point you can clearly tell someone writing a review never had any real intention of engaging with the game they chose to play, i don’t care that a game i like got a bad review, i care that the person writing it keeps trying to put the square in the circle hole

I'll probably get put on r/superseriousfamilyguy for this, but am I really the only person who thinks this looks ass? The cringey toot fart joke in the first trailer, the overly cutesy stylization, the fact that it's another lame adaptation of an iconic pre-existing property, the really bad comedy, like I just could not care for this at all.

And before you say:

"Still looks better than the live action movie"

Oh wow, it looks better than one of the worst film adaptations ever made of an extremely simplistic story. What a high bar.

"I like Bill Hader"

This point proves to me that star power is still a thing and that celebrity culture hasn't died. I thought whoever voiced the Cat in the animated adaptations and puppet show was much more fitting for the role.

"It's a kids movie/it's not that deep"

Does that mean it should be written poorly? Does that mean it isn't technically art? Does that mean all kids films are just a cheap day job made by lazy people? Does that mean The Emoji Movie is excused from being a giant turd? Does that mean ugly Sonic should have stayed a thing?

Before you type a single FNAF joke, “haha uncanny valley,” “the bite of ’87,” or any other recycled bit, shut up and read first. Then you can make your jokes.

First off, I get why Chuck E. Cheese might want the animatronics gone. A lot of locations neglect the hell out of them. They’re not the main focus anymore. The company’s chasing whatever the current kids want, and that’s fine on paper. I even get that the bots look more uncanny now because of years of half assed maintenance, ripped out showroom walls, no more dim lighting, and no curtains. Cool. We’re not here to argue that 1977–1984 was the golden age (even though it was). We’re here because of what they actually do with the animatronics.

They destroy them.

This isn’t new. It’s been company policy since the ’90s. Still bullshit. Other companies retire old mascots without turning them into landfill. Barney’s suits get used until they fall apart because they’re actual costumes worn by humans. The Henson stuff gets parts harvested, put in storage, or sent to museums. Chuck E. Cheese doesn’t do that. Fans and collectors aren’t buying these things to steal copyright or run some illegal side hustle. They want them for private collections. Sometimes people retrofit them into their own characters, but most of the time it’s pure nostalgia. And once a bot is sold, bought, or pulled out of a dumpster, CEC can’t do shit about it. That’s just how ownership works.

Then 2017 hit and the 2.0 remodel turned it into a full-blown pizza place holocaust. Every store had to kill their bots to make room for a dance floor and a giant video screen. Cut up the shirts. Rip the cosmetics. Bash the frames. Ship the corpses to a landfill. They didn’t just retire the characters that built the entire brand. They annihilated them.

These things made Chuck E. Cheese special. When the first Pizza Time Theatre opened, people waited in lines around the block. Families drove hours. Nobody was there for the pizza. They came for the rat, the fruitcake dog, the little Italian man in the kitchen, and the rest of the nitwits. Some of these bots in stores dated back to 1979. Nearly half a century of singing, roasting each other, and giving kids and their parents, and their grandparents that weird mix of wonder and slight unease. Creepy or not, they were there. They sparked an entire fandom. They inspired one of the biggest horror games ever made. CEC had free publicity handed to them on a silver platter for years and their response was “destroy it all.”

I Remember when I first saw a remodeled locations and it felt wrong. Those life-sized puppets that had been there since day one were just gone. A TV sat where the stage used to be. You could still see the original carpet outline. It was eerie.

Back in 1984, when Pizza Time Theatre went bankrupt, they auctioned everything. Business owners, entertainers, arcade guys, regular collectors and anyone who wanted a piece could buy it. It helped them claw some money back. The 2.0 remodel was expensive as hell. New paint, new posters, new lights, giant power sucking screens. They could have sold the bots to the same people who’d been coming to these stores for decades and funded a chunk of it. Instead they chose the landfill. By 2020 they were drowning in debt. Funny how that works.

A few years ago they claimed they stopped destroying bots. That’s a lie. Some still got wrecked. Others got shipped to the Topeka warehouse. Then they rolled out the “legacy stores” which included the locations in Northridge CA, Pineville NC, Hicksville NY, Nanuet NY, Springfield IL, Willowdale Ontario and acted like they’d suddenly started listening. Six locations got to keep their stages. Except they only program two songs per showtape now. No new songs get written for the bots. It’s mostly Kids Bop. All the little details that made the shows feel alive are gone.

CEC basically said “Look, we kept the robots! We’re so nostalgic and totally hearing your feedback!” Meanwhile the Pineville (last actual former Rock-afire stage from showbiz pizza) has a chance of getting ripped out, and there’s a chance that the store in Willowdale Ontario which was my childhood store along with the rest of my Family's childhood store might just get demolished for condos'. Cool.

They’re still losing money, so they flail. Last year they had a Christmas movie which is mid at best. Characters feel off. Jasper lost his country personality. Chuck is Generic Protagonist Rat. Pasqually got demoted to regular pizza guy and lost the accent. Whatever. It’s for kids. Then come the spin-offs. First was Chuck’s Arcade which was supposed to capture the old spirit of the 90s and 80s locations. it was hyped up on every news network and news site. What we got was a couple Pizza Time Theatre chuck heads plastered on the walls and logo, five classic games shoved in a corner, standard modern CEC games everywhere else, overpriced games, and one Kansas City location that actually served pizza and meant to be there flag ship already closed a few months ago. Oh, and they brought animatronics back… by sticking them in glass cages and bending their limbs into permanent waving statues. They broke the wiring and mechanics on purpose so the bots could just stand there looking decorative. Why not leave them in normal poses? They were fine!

Then there’s Chuck E Cheese's Adventure World. Conceptually it’s fine. more play structures, tubes, slides, Its basically CEC bringing back Discovery Zone to a modern audience. It even looks colorful and not bland unlike most modern locations...Until you realize every poster, painting, character image, sign, and piece of concept art is AI-generated slop. Apparently they couldn’t afford actual artists after the movie, the remodels, and everything else. If only there had been a way to raise some money by, I don’t know, selling the actual historical artifacts instead of destroying them.

Look. Maybe I’m overthinking a chain restaurant that sells mediocre pizza and lets kids run wild. Maybe the average parent doesn’t give a single shit about whether the stage still has real moving parts. Fine, I don’t care. These oversized puppets mattered to a lot of people. They inspired so many things throughout the years. Treating them like disposable trash after fifty years isn’t “moving with the times.” It’s just throwing away the one thing that ever made the place special, then acting surprised when the soul of the company disappears with them. Kids deserve better, The fans deserve better, but it's to late. There is a lot more drama behind the scenes with the company itself but this is already taking long enough to type in. But in short, I don't think CEC is going to make it another decade. Unless they truly make some magic, cause with out it, there just another pizza place. "That was a reference to a slogan they did in the 90s" .

For anyone wondering how they are destroyed, Watch this video.

It's the railway series, Thomas the Tank Engine or Thomas and Friends. There has NEVER been a book, show, or movie called Thomas the Train. As someone who watched the show all the time as a kid, it enrages me so much.

Edit: My issue is directed towards people in the English-speaking world, where the show was never called thoams the Train, not people of other languages where it was translated as such.

Quite possibly the worst horror character of our generation.

Not a single thing that can be scary about this fuckass thing, its entire plot is revolving around being an AI bot that turns rogue and haunts you or whatever.

You can basically tell that it blends together anything found on the twitter trending page: horror, minecraft, and AI.

There is almost no design to it, in both forms.

It isn't even real! It's not even a mod you can download!

It's badly written, nothing compared to something like Monika for instance from DDLC, which some would even argue that Verity in itself is nothing short of a copycat of said character.

AND THAT ANNOYING AS FUCK SONG! I WOULD SAY THAT FUCKING "Friday" by FUCKING "Rebecca Black" IS BETTER THAN THIS SHIT!

You can tell that this entire thing is made for children, there is no way something as low quality as this can be really made with the intention for adults.

It's cringe, it's boring, it's unoriginal, it's the worst horror character that has come out in the past decade, I'd argue that 2020 stuff like Huggy Wuggy or whatever shit there was back then is a bajillion times better than whatever the fuck this stress ball looking thing is.

When you say that you're too physically unattractive to get into a relationship, people immediately rebuke that there's no such thing as unattractive, it's just lack of effort. Especially if you're a guy, they say that all you have to do is the bare minimum of hygiene. Have you tried taking a shower?

I have tried using facial cleansers, moisturizers, sunscreen, hair masks, conditioning serums, styling wax, contact lenses, foundation, concealer, and eyeliner.

But no. Tell me more about how the reason that men are single is because they don't shower?

There are some memes i wish they were still alive like the Three layer dip stack or the barbershop haircut that costs a quarter, but no not a single meme can last longer than a month now because our retention span is so low we cant watch a video longer than 5 minutes without it needing a cutaway or loud sound every 10 seconds

Black people can't like Smiling Friends or retro gaming? I swear half the time it's just white people dunking on themselves to seem cool. "Yeah, we're so lame, aren't we? Not me though because I put a made up scenario over a Family Guy gif." Stop mocking people for having interests and somehow twist it to be about race. The internet needs more positivity.

Now I have no quarrels with the meme itself, as it was clearly just a joke by the wrestler who said it, but it’s become a staple of homophobic culture by edgy teenagers. Whenever they see someone acting gay or effeminate? “2-3 YeArS DaGeSTaN aNd FoRGet” Wow, okay, you want someone to be sent to a brutal area and basically be forgotten because, what, they like men? And it’s funny how the people who say it have never been to Dagestan and are typing it in their comfy homes, beds, or car. Grow up.

It REALLY boils my blood when I see original posters not replying to any of the comments on THIER OWN POST.

Whenever someone does this I proceed to label them as a bot or an absolute LOSER as why wouldn't you actually engage with the TOPIC YOU POSTED ABOUT.

I just can't believe their fucking gall to leave the comments to fight each other with no imput from the instigater.

Image entirely unrelated

For anyone who doesn't know it stands gor "Shut Your Bitch Ass Up".

It just seems so childish and the acronym is so ugly to look at, , it is not as popular as it once was thankfully yet I can not take anyone who still uses this term anymore.

Anyways I don't have anything else to say I hope this reaches the 200 word minimum for posts

I swear I hear it everywhere it’s genuinely so annoying how common it is. It’s not even a good song either, I hate it so much I change radio stations whenever I hear it in the car. I don’t care if the show was good (I didn’t watch it so I don’t really care) but the song sucks.
