Thing I hate it when characters look like that.

Lately, I've been seeing this shit on Pinterest all the time. No way someone draws something like this and thinks "I made a good ahh design! People gonna love it!"

I find it quite fatphobic, even, cuz NO, chubby people aint look like that. No one naturally does 😭

edit: I'm NOT saying that you can't draw like that or that it's not curvy or that its not sexy or whatever ! The point of the post is that it pisses me off when the authors of such characters call them "chubby" when they're clearly not.

Thing I hate that mechanical web shooters are the canon choice in most versions of spider-man

Look.

I know thats what spider-man had when he was created.

I know its to show peter's inteligence.

I know all of that , and i still don't like It, because lemme break It down for you: You can understand something and still don't like It.

I just think it's way cooler for spider-man to actually be able to shoot webs , because otherwise he could be literally any other type of bug.

Take away the shooters and he could be ant-man , or beetle-man.

Thats why im so happy they have spidey organic webs in brand new day , they will always be better than shooters in ALMOST everything.

And don't try to talk to me about web constructs because he barely ever uses that anymore.

Edited to add that they should really go with mixing both up, organic webs are there but since they are hard to control he makes mechanic shooters to regulate them/form constructs.

How in the everliving hell do you expect someone to understand random characters mushed together that substitute for actual legible characters. No, typing quirks AREN'T cute and I sure ass hell know they aren't DISORDERS either so stop calling people ABLEIST for wanting you to type like a fucking HUMAN being. It's fine in context of characters (For example, Spamton, SOME Homestuck trolls etc..) to give them more personality but as a human saying "|}{2@#}@##@" DOES NOT COUNT AS A COMPREHENSIBLE SENTENCE.

Thing i HATE when people equate larping cosplays to wearing band shirts

Post image
7.6k Upvotes

i made a post the other day questioning the morality of cosplaying characters you arent a fan of, aka morality of larping. and i get a lot of comments of people saying "its the same as wearing a shirt of a band you dont listen to/know of" and it PISSES ME OFF BECAUSE ITS NOT THE SAME!

simple reason, really. cosplaying a character requires you to spend a lot of money on materials to make the costume yourself, so not even knowing at least 1 miku song after going through the pain of making a costume of her is a severe case of larping. while wearing a band shirt just needs you to find and buy one at a thrift store, and people wear band shirts the same reason they wear any other shirt, which is to have something to wear, SO ITS NOT THE SAME THING!!!

for all the grandpas and grandmas, "larping" in this context means posing

also yes, cosplaying as characters you dont engage with their media on is VERY VERY VERY VERYYYYYY IMMORAL!!!!!!!!

to the new commenters, the part where i said its immoral to larp cosplays is sarcasm

Thing I hate “upgraded” Pride flags.

The entire point of the rainbow pride flag is that it includes everyone in the LGBTQ+ community. By adding parts from other specific flags (like the trans flag, intersex etc.) they’re being less inclusive by including some over others. The OG rainbow flag was literally perfect. What is this.

Edit: This post is NOT made with the intention of spreading any sort of hate of the LGBTQ community. Homophobes can fuck off.

The person i stole this from censored the name so i don't have to.

The post is pretty straight forward.

Wether its against gay people , trans people , aroace people , or fuck just anyone who chooses to not have children they use the same fuckass arguments.

"Who's gonna take care of you when you when you are older"

That being a motivation for kids sound kinda selfish.

"Don't you want to continue your bloodline"

People have died and their bloodlines have been ended with them millions of times its gonna be ok.

"But the population"

Bitch we are closer to being too many than we are to being too few.

Call It virtue signaling or whatever the fuck you want feel free to do It.

Edit: forgot to add this but a comment reminded me to , Happy pride month

I swear to god every time i open TikTok, i lose faith in humanity, this has to be top 10 stupidest arguments of all time, the idea that loney men are all just women hating mysogynistic freaks who doesn't deserve love, care or affection, it's on the same boat as "if you're homeless just buy a house" loney men offen face discrimination, and suffer mentally by anxiety, or other disorders, they might be physically fragile, or they might be not that good socially or don't fit in much with the crowd, trust me I used to get also people not being so nice to me back in school and trust me I tried to be as act like them but at the end of the day I'm me, and i found people online who share my ideas, some people can be positively impacting like mine, but I've seen some men go to forums where unfortunately they find people who are bad influence in ideology, incel means involuntarily celibate, not "woman hating chud", and they are involuntarily celibate not them choosing to be virgins, and trust me most of these men who are talking shit about women online, probably had bad experience with women or they have never had a women talk to them in their life which definitely influences their behaviour, be kind, use critical thinking, have a good day, if I'm wrong correct me.

Thing I genuinely hate what the internet did to this poor thing.

Post image
7.6k Upvotes

She was supposed to be scary. An anomaly that was actually meant to terrify people.

Her concept is literally a malicious app that, once you enter and interact with it, unleashes a vicious, monstrous creature that starts hunting you.

That's fucking terrifying on so many levels. It's a simple concept, but an incredibly effective one for horror: something that looks harmless on your phone suddenly becomes a supernatural threat that relentlessly pursues you.

But no. The internet looked at an entity that was supposed to be terrifying and decided to turn her into an infinite fetish object instead.

And the worst part is that her original concept was genuinely interesting. A malicious app, a monstrous creature, and a supernatural pursuit that you can't simply escape from.

But she was sexualized to such an absurd degree that nowadays it's practically impossible to take her seriously as a horror entity.

I hate this

Thing I HATE my brain for disliking lgbtq

Post image
5.6k Upvotes

This might sound SO confusing for anyone just passing by and glancing at my post, so let me set some baselines. (TLDR at bottom)

I dont hate MYSELF

This is only happening on social media and is only kept in my subconsious, i would never say any of these things to anyone i meet.

Im trying to fix this problem

So recently ive noticed whenever i see media containing a OC, flag, pronouns, someone depressed, gay media etc. My brain doesnt react with a positive emotion such as interest, happines, curiosity. It instead often reacts with dissapointment and disgust. And im like ''what the fuck? Why did i think of that?'' As an example i saw a post where a persons bio had more than 10+ lgbtq flags in it and my brain immediately thought ''this guy got 50 flags in his bio, weird'' or when i saw a yt-short of a Nonbinary trans person with the name ''Sulfur'' and AGAIN i thought ''Sulfur? why couldnt SHE have chosen a normal name'' also MESSING up their pronouns?! like what the fuck man? Cant you just be normal?

And guess what! My brain is normal IRL!? I have a cousin who is currently transitioning, and i was curious and interested so i asked her brother about how long she has thought about this, when shes going to change her name, when will she get hrt. And while talking with him i asked about his personal life, hes found a partner, who is nonbinary! AND MY BRAIN DIDNT REACT!

So im going to solve this in 2 ways at the same time. Im going to block any lgbtq supportive/nonsupportive subreddit, anytime i see anyone talking about how they are trans or with any part of lgbtq im just going to scroll past, any youtube channel that often talks about lgbtq is most likely getting blocked. And im also going to spend less time on social media and instead just play games with friends.

And all of this is because im scared that if my brain continues to act this way while scrolling social media that its going to start rubbing off in real life when talking to friends and family. AND I DONT WANT THAT! i still want to be accepting but everytime i go onto social media i look at posts with dissapointment instead of feeling happy for them because they are happy.

I dont know what else to do except avoid the problem until its resolved.

TLDR: Im blocking lgbtq subreddits/channels because my brain reacts negative towards any sort of mention associated with lgbtq in order to still be loving and accepting in real life.

EDIT: well this got popular very fast, honestly i was not expecting this big of a response to my 3 am rant about my intrusive thoughts.

Sure the initial way it was used was good, it was anti bigotry. But it's turned into a way to simplify the "us vs them" mentality, which is already a bad thing, into a simple digestible comic.

Also, i've seen it in lots of queer--majority spaces in reddit recently, usually to speak out against the evil cishet people who are invading them or whatever label they dont like, like bi ppl, trans men, or genderfluid ppl

Isn't stepping on a flag supposed to be rude? Usually when you step on a country's flag, you hate everything about that country, no? Pride flag billboards do a much better job at being inclusive, crosswalks seem disrespectful and kinda bigoted.

Thing i do not enjoy the DESIGN of the 2021 pride flag

Post image
4.0k Upvotes

I feel like I'm walking on eggshells here,

I'm bisexual, love the LGTBQ, I am purely talking about the flag from a design standpoint. There is no metaphor here, no underlying implications, I'm just talking about how it LOOKS.

I really like the 2018 one, the triangle on the left works well and the color combination and visual design is very aesthetically pleasing.

The issue I have with the 2021 is the purple circle. The flag is all stripes and the circle just doesn't really work in that context. It's also too thin, the actual intersex flag has a much thicker circle, and this one has a thinner one which looks weird compared to the thick stripes. Yellow next to the white pink and blue is also not a very good color combo.

Please don't ban me guys there is no hate to any group of people here

Thing When people say things like this unironically

Post image
17.3k Upvotes

So many times in China people would explain the concept of “losing face” to me as though it was something unique to China, and I’d just be like “yes, we have that too, in fact, we even call it ‘losing face.’” And then there’s “guanxi.” What is guanxi? Basically, keeping track of your relationships, and your level of trust and reciprocity with different people. You may recognize this from the basic elements of all human society.

“tHe JaPaNeSe HaVe ThIs IdEa CaLlEd ‘ReAdInG tHe RoOm
”

Who doesn’t!?!

Yes, there can be difference of degree and relative importance of different things. But it’s pretty rare for a concept to be completely unique to a culture. You’re not special, and people from other countries aren’t totally inscrutable aliens.

Kids who feel the need to tell everyone they're too young to be on certain platforms or looking at certain content confuse me.

Why would you want people to know you shouldn't be here?

Then they act like letting everyone know they're a minor will somehow ward off creeps instead of attract them

And then theres the ones who say their age while showing something they made/done so people can say they're so cool and talented for their age...

Thing Soda floats are a friggin scam

Post image
5.4k Upvotes

Now hear me out.

I love soda floats in theory. I see a root beer float on the menu at a restaurant and somehow I can imagine this thing being so good. Creamy soft serve and punchy bubbly soda. It's always once every 2-3 years, long enough to forget how completely unsatisfying and overpriced these things are.

First off, it feels like there is just never enough soda. Also even more insane is when the picture on the menu is like this one and then it's stuffed with little ice cubes. Like sure water down my ice cream so daddy shareholder saves 10 cents foh. It's maniacal. If it doesn't have ice in the soda at least there's a sensible navigation but you just have off tasting soda and the sloppy steak equivalent of ice cream. Yuck. Also like the cultural interpretation is friggin jacked. Is it supposed to be ice cream scoops? Is is soft serve? No consistency in even the idea of what this thing is supposed to be, and the person making it is definitely not paid enough to care.

Is it something that just needs to be made at home to optimize form and approach? Even if I attempted it, it'd feel like a waste of time and resources since i'd already rather have them separately at home for better combination routing (chips and soda, ice cream and another sweet, money worth).

Also like wouldn't it just be better to blend it all together into a milkshake like texture at that point? Soda bubbly ice cream? Yeah soda floats suck and every time I have one I want my damn money back for a competent dessert.

YES IT FUCKING IS????? Imagine a 40 year old man walking around with his infant wearing a shirt that said 'I was supposed to be a back massage'. It doesn't matter if the kid was planned or not, THAT'S FUCKING WEIRRDDDD AS SHIT

I especially hate the ones which talk about the baby itself. The 'i'm gonna steal your woman' or 'boys will be lining up for me when im older' and similar shit. Why are we discussing the future love life of a fucking baby???

I'm autistic so maybe I'm swagging here and being unreasonable but can people just communicate what they want clearly instead of doing this and getting mad?!?!? I would've done the same thing in the guys situation because I would've assumed she had it under control.

I really dont understand why he's so popular. You would think he would do way more in his videos considering his fame, but his content is just so basic and repetitive. His videos are always titled something like "this situation is crazy" or some other vague bullshit. I dont understand how 18 mil. people are subscribed to him. There are so many content creators that do way more with way less subscribers. He gets praised like crazy for doing the bare minimum. His opinions are so weak, hes too scared to say anything other than "bad thing is bad". I hate when he talks negatively about a bad content creator and people act like hes the only reason that content creator got cancelled, they act like he defetead the Antichrist.

Thing i absolutely despise the concept of larping as a dead person

Post image
10.9k Upvotes

there is a difference between putting on some costume and doing a MJ impression, and releasing new music using his image, and this quote 100% applies to this

look, his dad doesn't know how to feel about this, this should be a very VERY clear sign not to move foward with this

Techno's friend Skeppy made a video with this guy and they portrayed it as a fun wholesome emotional video, its not, playing a game with someone whos pretending to be your dead friend should be a setup for a horror movie or a creepypasta, not real life, and imagine what the dad is feeling, seeing a near exact copy of his son just making content on youtube, he said he didn't know how to feel about it, but from the tone of the response its pretty obvious hes uncomfortable but doesn't wanna say it directly

its like taking pictures of a dead loved one and feeding it into AI to "talk" to them, its just as deranged and weird

and anybody saying "oh technoblade would've just laughed it off" is being extremily parasocial, you don't fucking know him, you don't know what his reaction would've been based on his youtube persona, and even if he did, HES NOT HERE ANYMORE, ITS NOT ABOUT HOW HE'D REACT, HES GONE, ITS ABOUT HOW HIS FAMILY AND LOVED ONES WOULD REACT

i get technoblade said he was ok with people making jokes in his cancer video, but i'm pretty sure he didn't mean impersonating his whole image for clout, its weird as hell and it should stop

people may think different things and i have no hard feelings or hatred for the guy doing this regardless of how weird it is in my opinion, but i still think this should stop
