Other Unpopular Opinions

[The Silent Z]

Political parties are a wasteful part of government. Take away the party affiliations and let’s see how things are done when you have to pay attention to the individuals and not what party they represent or are affiliated with that tend to draw far too much attention. Republican, Democrat.... Who cares... eliminate that distraction and place more focus on the individuals who are running for or already in office.

Christian Bale is a overrated actor.

Deadpool is slightly funny, but the movies are just not that good and are just ok at best.

Maybe not unpopular, idk, but can common sense courses become a thing? Like I know some could get embarrassing to actually have to take, but can we have this become a course for people of all ages? We’ve got all these apps and etc but.... one idea is very overlooked.

Tv talent shows such as The Voice and Got Talent, as well as competition based reality shows such as Survivor/Expedition Robinson are fun to watch.

Lightning is my favorite character on Total Drama: Revenge of the Island.

I like the Back to the Future cover of Johnny B. Goode over the original.

I hate playstation controllers. Yea. Fight me. And its not that I 'didn't grow up with them' because I did. I had a PS1 and a PS2 for most of my young life, but I didn't realize how much I hated how they felt in my hands until I held the original Xbox controller and it felt so much better. I barely like playstation controllers more then N64 controllers, like they just feel wrong in my hands. Yes, I've had the newer ones like the PS3 and PS4, but still... just no. Just no. Biggest reason I always buy an Xbox long before a PS is because of the controller [And Gamepass is amazing]. Although PC gaming is still king and where most of my game time is spent.

Lightning is my favorite character on Total Drama: Revenge of the Island.

Lightning, while not my favorite, was a character I really liked and is probably in my top 5. Never hung out in TD circles, but is that really an unpopular opinion? Like I, personally, dislike Duncan and I feel that would be more unpopular.

Goths and Emos are very similar. Yes, I know goths hate the world and emos hate themselves, it's still hard to tell them apart (for me.) and don't get me started on scene kids and e-girls and boys.

Well, I consider it an unpopular opinion because on an old forum I was on a few years back, some people called Lightning "the worst player in Revenge of the Island."

... The worst in the season when that season has such gems like B?

What is wrong with people on the internet?

Well, I can see where they're coming from. I mean, Lightning wasn't the smartest guy of the Revenge of the Island cast, and he could be a bit annoying at times. But other than that, I liked Lightning, but I can understand why other people would dislike him.

I can understand disliking him or feeling like Scott or Jo should have been the 'bad guy' finalist, but the worst? When you have poor stand ins for Paris Hilton [Dakota], Jersey Shore *Insert Member* [Anne Maria] and B whose main ability is to be a Silent Bob stand in who... manages to.. exist?

Just.. don't understand it. Probably just backlash that went a few notches too far into the 'calm down, you aren't making any sense' category.

A lot of canon pairings in anime/manga series suck. They focus so much on the girl's emotions and they forget that the guy needs to show their feelings to them too. Even some romance series is horrible with that.

The endings of showing who ends up with who, their future/their kids are the worse endings.

Psych has an annoying, rude, borderline narcissistic protag uwu I'd punt Shawn Spencer into space

 

[calypso]

Also wanted to say, I think people are too concerned with the idea of PC culture being too much.

I always hear people talking about how it’s too much, but in action I often see it as people asking someone to not say something rude, or even worse like a slur, and the other person responding that “PC culture is the worst.” It just feels like people are upset they can’t get away with certain things anymore, or don’t like the feeling of at some point maybe having done something that’s considered wrong now.

I’m a lifeline Sony/PlayStation guy but, well I also said I’d never buy a Xbox because of the all stories of that death ring or whatever it’s called and in recent months bought on in a holiday sale + rollback and bundle package deal. But as a long time PlayStation guy I have to admit after that Xbox one purchase and playing it, those controllers feel so much better and more natural for gameplay then my ps4’s. It was a adjustment to switch back at first.

Right? It just fits perfectly to the hand. Yea, the X button really messes with you when you switch back and forth. I mean, you do get used to it again, but for the first hour or two as you play, it can be jarring.

Do recommend Gamepass tho. Can't recommend it enough. Amazing deal if you haven't gotten it already [think its like 1 dollar trial].

Lavander doesn't smell good.

Caffeine is the widest spread drug used around the world, and we should be doing a lot more research and possibly restricting it more.

I miss lime skittles.

It's Okay to be agnostic, it's okay to admit that you don't have all the answers.

money will not buy happiness.

Nothing is as ever as good as you remember it being.

Christmas is not a christian holiday, neither is easter.

If you are ever so sure of something that you cut off the possibility of being wrong, that something has blinded you with a Dogma.

People are not naturally good, that's why you have to strive for it.

America is not the greatest country in the world, but it isn't completely without merit.

Technology will probably be the end of us as a species.

Yes, yes it does. Grip is better and less likely to slide out of place especially when it’s hot and hands might start to get a bit sweaty or just slide cause it happens. The sticks, maybe it just seems like it a big difference and maybe it’s cause my main and original ps4 controller is old and the left stick has the rubber coming off and part got pulled a bit off to get rid of that loose material feeling. (My other two I bought each has one button that’s problematic. So don’t use those much to more accurately compare) but the Xbox sticks are better designed for the thumb and feels way more improved with the indent and how your thumb fits while gaming. (Less sliding during certain main points of a lot of thumb/stick action) while also they are just better placed instead of being right there by each other. Small things that seem to make such a difference. I do believe those two newer controllers on PS are better grip wise then the original and feel better, but overall Xbox is just ahead of Ps in that regard.

Oh yeah that threw me at first. But even the Lb and Rb threw me a bit for some reason at first. Or L2 and R2 for PS4 mainly though it was the options and share buttons, out of new habit was going to the Xbox and old PS areas to hit that pause and remembered PS4 doesn’t roll Like that. Haha about hit the wrong button.

But yeah, the game pass and EA deal I got. It’s great and allows me to play old favorites and try others without paying for them all over again or wasting money on new games that I don’t like after trying. (Mainly the former) Also great deals on games that are kinda new but can still be expensive. PSN has the PSN plus that is similar but game pass gives a lot more seemingly, new to Xbox so maybe it’s early for me to say, but a vast library of older games, complete series too compared to PS plus.

One big difference that took me a shameful amount of time to figure out and search out, was how to delete individual files or character save files pending the game without deleting the whole thing on Xbox.

Sports related; But the older I get the more I question who the aka GOAT of any sport really is..... Example: MJ isn’t the goat and no I’m not saying it’s Lebron either.

You can go by numbers, pure skill or what have you. But I question if either is really the goat and why Lebron is even in the discussion right now.

I wasn’t born in the era to have actually watched some of these legends play; But did everybody just overlook Kareem in favor of MJ or Lebron? Is it because Kareem was a center and didn’t have the ball in his hands all the time? Do they not know his pre-nba basketball history and numbers in addition to his pro career?

Anyways just my opinion accompanied by questions and thoughts to go along with it.

 

[milkette]

no hate to people who like timothee chalamet but (looks wise) he's average. i don't think he's anything that special. if he wasn't an actor, he'd just be a regular average looking dude, but since he is a celeb i think people hype him up more. he's cute and all but as i said, nothing special.

Here's a bunch of SPICY controversial onions of mine I keep to myself because I have a "quiet nice girl" image to keep up lmao. I would give further arguments on why I think these things but I am exhausted, I can confirm this is all based on my personal experiences.

1. Avengers infinity war was better than Avengers Endgame
2. Substance abuse does not make up for your lack of personality
3. Boba tea or Bubble tea whatever it's called is overrated and not even that good
4. All game consoles are valid and one is better than the other is all based on subjective stances
5. Sakura from Naruto is not useless and I don't get why she is so hated
6. Child Sexual Abuse is one of the most sickening and vile acts of evil that someone could ever do and yet it is committed by even the most famous and popular of people. It is not talked about enough and yet it is terrifyingly common
7. Self Inserts are not bad
8. Trends are not bad, a person who bashes on it is telling more about themselves than the person who likes the mainstream
9. The US police force is too militarised
10. Vaccines are not harmful and people who refuse to have them are selfish and purposely risking other people's lives for their own self belief.

You would be surprised by how many people now refuse vaccines because of all these controversial non-approved journal articles they read on the internet hahaha like yes Karen it does contain this scary sounding chemical but that chemical is natural and can be found in things like those organic bananas you're buying.

There are also many different reasons people wont take them including religion and diet lifestyles like being vegan. Being a life sciences student, I have to respect these things when really I find it dumb hah.
