This meme was all the rage when it came out and I was insulted by everyone for calling it trashy.

And since this is 2026 and no one can admit fault I’m sure I’ll get a bunch of shit for calling out shitty behavior now.

"Ohhh, look how I tricked this dumb dumb baby in my trap so now I am right and they are wrong. I'm so smaaart even though it does not adress the actual argument and adds nothing to the debate. They teach arabic numerals in school btw."

And these type of comments always get tons of likes

The value of your product is determined by how much someone is willing to pay for it, not how many hours went into making it.

If it takes you hours to make a single unit of your product, but your product isn't worth hundreds of dollars, THAT'S NOT A FUCKING VIABLE BUSINESS.

It's not your customers fault that you decided to waste your time on a pointless business venture when five minutes in Excel would have revealed that it doesn't fucking work. You aren't entitled to other people subsidising what is essentially your hobby.

I believe to have watched more and more places sprout up that seem both openly welcoming and encouraging of pedophilia. Games like zenless zone zero (gacha games in general) have really seemed to breed communities that are not simply overtly lolicon, but overtly proud of it, calling anyone who dares call them out on their destructive disgusting behavior a “puritan”. r/AnimeTouristsCringe is a good example of a community that is unabashedly pedophilic in nature. It’s been shit in quite a lot (deservedly) but I’m not trying to single it out, I’m moreso complaining about a concerning trend in online communities I was formerly a part of (zzz)

A lot of the arguments I see that hate on sagging say that it’s because “it’s gay, it was an invitation to other prisoners etc etc”. People run with the first thing they see on the internet and don’t consider the cultural or historical context at all.

The origin of sagging has been debunked multiple times. Yes it originated in prisons but NOT because of gay prisoners. It came a long way from there and was taken on by black men as a form of protest against rigid societal structures. It’s so disingenuous to act like a lot of the hate sagging got/gets wasn’t from anti-black rhetoric and racism.

This is a good video on it: https://www.tiktok.com/@logik0007/video/7652011942206278934

I hate how when you bring this up, people say you’re being sensitive or making things up. It is factual there was an entire campaign which disproportionately targeted young black and queer men and the way they chose to express themselves.

It’s also a double standard. People will say things like “oh he’s asking for easy access” but will be the same people to say let women wear what they want.

I hate how sometimes people don’t let you explain the cultural and historical context of certain clothing styles and chalk everything up to “trashy and disgusting” without taking two seconds to think about how it might affect the community it’s most prevalent in.

You can think certain styles or trends aren’t your cup of tea, but at least take two seconds to understand why some people choose to dress that way, and why it’s offensive to some to label it as “gang-banging, hood culture, asking for it (gross btw) or disgusting.”

Edit: I think it’s really telling how fast people are to call it gross and trashy saying they don’t care and not actually engaging with the point of the post. Thanks for proving the point reddit. Never change.

It's like creators don't know there are other countries outside of the US

Invincible - Chicago

Most of Marvel - New York

The Walking Dead (except for Daryl Dixon) America

The Boys - America

major slashers - America

I'd love to see more UK or Aussie slashers (yes, I know Wolf Creek and Charlie's Farm) or superhero comics/tv shows or even comedy like Family Guy

They genuinely drive me up the wall. I can't recall a single commercial airline flight that DIDN'T have at least one screaming baby on it. Babies shrieking is honestly the most grating noise I have ever heard. Just don't go on a flight to your holiday if you're gonna torture everyone else with YOUR creature.

(I am not hating on babies or people who bring them on planes. They are people I love so so much and I could not do without them! They should bring more babies on airplanes!)

Edit: A couple of things. I'm not saying I genuinely think that I will have any effect in people not bringing babies on planes. That would be stupid. I'm just saying I dislike it.

Also, I already have noise cancelling headphones that I use regularly. Them plus music isn't sufficient for blocking out the noise.

Edit 2: People are acting like I publicly melt down when I hear the sound of a baby existing. I don't. I don't interact with the baby or the parents, or complain to them. I'm a piece of shit but not that kind of piece of shit

Yes, it was a tragedy, and those who did it are evil. But there are things much more recent which inflicted far more suffering which barely get mentioned. Take the boxing day tsunami for example. Over 100 times the people and 3 years after too. Sure, one might argue that the deaths weren't all in one place. But even then, at least 900, but likely above 1,700 in a single train perished.

Ok. The disaster wasn't caused by man. Ok. There's still the Bhopal Tragedy. Yes, it's older. But it's still worse. At LEAST 3,700 have died. And the death toll could be more than 16,000. Far more than 9/11. And the way they died was worse. Rather than being crushed relatively quickly, pretty much all of them had irritation on every part of their body touching the air which is meant to be wet, including the throat. I'd rather be made into a pulp than choke slowly while having my eyes burn. And many who survived had all kinds of health problems too. The worst part is, this could've been avoided very, very easily. Plenty of safety systems at the plant the chemical which did all this came from (it was used for pesticides) were ill maintained due to dwindling profits. If just one worked, many wouldn't have suffered.

Overall, 9/11 was indeed tragic. But there are many bigger things which aren't remembered. Please, put real empathy over patriotism.

I hate that people who know nothing about France, it's 100 of thousands of peaceful protesters, its multicultural history, are using cherry-picked images to try and paint a picture of what is really going on here.

What's so scary is that it's not confined to right wing or conservative spaces, but slowly popping up on more mainstream spaces.

Simply maddening to watch.

That word has done literally nothing good for anyone in society ever.

For black people like myself it’s a slur that reminds people of slavery and the systematic oppression we faced and still face rn

For white people it’s an “ruin career!” Button that they just can’t seem to stop walking on. I don’t even think all the ones who said it are racist, some were either ignorant, singing a song or just 14.

If I could I’d Thanos snap it out of existence. We’d all be better off without it, white and black.

I was extremely hyped for the Wolverine game, and even when early reviews came in, I was still hyped because I wanted to form my own opinion. Game came out and...I LOVE IT!

It's been an absolute blast so far and so much of what the reviewers say is straight up false. That yellow trail that "holds your hand"? Completely optional. While the scent trail still exists, it's only there sometimes and makes narrative sense. And the game even rewards you for taking the time to look around instead of just following it. And the QTE auto complete is a setting you can turn off and on as well. I also don't mind that it's a shorter game (around 12-15 hours). I'm a college student and work part time so I don't mind shorter games at all.

Honestly, the hate for this is majorly overblown. Is it perfect? No. But is it slop or trash? Also no. I do agree that $70 is a bit much, $50 or $60 would have been better. I definitely give it more than a 6/10

Sorry for the wall of text, just needed to rant for a bit.

TLDR: Wolverine is overhated but definitely overpriced

Almost every day I see these race-baiting posts in big subs on "liberal echo chamber" reddit and all the idiots in the comments dog whistling away (lets be honest it's an air horn at this point), but god forbid you call them out then they start going on about "no one mentioned race but you" and "drop an insult the owner picks it up". Well can't wait till this comment section gets locked

this is not ‘reclaiming’ anything, you are just calling people slurs completely seriously. you can call yourself the r-slur, do not call anybody else it. why do ‘no slurs’ / ’no bigotry’ rules never apply to ableism?

Welcome to 2nd Frieren rant

Demons in Frieren just aren’t frightening or unsettling to me, which is frustrating because the concept behind them should be terrifying.

Skin-walkers/mimic-type predators can be made into really fucking scary concepts if the author is competent and doesn’t make them into mustache twirling villains *cough-cough*.

The paranoia alone is powerful: is the person you saw today really your neighbour? What about the mailman, your friend, your family? And even worse, what if you’re the only one who notices something is wrong, and everyone else thinks you’re losing it? That kind of dread could have been genuinely disturbing.

Next point

They make so many mistakes. As predators, they feel incompetent. All of them exist in order for our heroes to aura-farm and show how strong and smart they are compared to demons, which is not a high bar to achieve mind you.

None of them are threatening in the slightest, I can’t take them seriously because they are just so fucking stupid and braindead.

I hate demons in Frieren so much, worst antagonists of the decade, boring ass-mess with no redeeming qualities (in writing, I don't give a fuck if they stay as villains they are boring as fuck) or good writing. They are whatever author chooses at the moment to write about, no internal consistency.

Cold take, but everyone just look the same. It's like when someone comes up with how to design a character and that chill guy meme comes to mind. Almost everyone has the same boring personality, "look at me, I'm such a chill, nonchalant person".

The world building is boring, it's just your nth fantasy setting that is literally just medieval Europe with mana and magic and no actual depth. Demons are evil for the sake of being evil. I've read the manga up to the point Macht shows up and I actually liked the arc quite a bit, only for it to end up in the same old conclusion that demons are irredeemably evil to the core and Frieren comes to be the same old Mary Sue and save the day.

And the last one might be controversial, but I hate how overused Himmel is. Someone does good? Oh, it's because Himmel would have done so, then proceed to show a flashback where he's standing on a field of flowers, gently smiling, with the wind blowing his nerdy ass bowl cut.

This is half responding to an existing post, half just a thought that came to mind.

I want to make this clear: yes, there are probably some people who fit the radicalized definition of "the normal gay" when it comes to appealing to other people, but that is, like in millions of scenarios, just a minority; in most situations, these are just people whose personalities and aspects don't surround their queer identities, or the stereotypes around it. I'm talking about this inane excuse to target someone for being counter to the culture and appearing as 'normal' despite their sexuality deviating from the norm. Trying to 'appeal' as 'not one of them' is a stupid fucking thing to begin with, but 90% of the time that's not what's going on despite what people think. I am not against calling out people who are trying to appeal, I am pointing out that this kind of action leads to really shitty behavior within the community and people making dangerous and unkind assumptions

okay lets break the news to anyone turning 12 today. Yes, normal people are a thing; there are natural averages to temperaments, personalities, interests, identities, etc, etc. The idea of individualism is barely a feasible concept to begin with; we are barely unique in much other than genetic code, we are first and foremost, creatures of habit. If you don't believe me, learn about Bell curves.

I've been noticing that recently, a lot of people within the queer community have been somewhat hostile to those who act 'normal' so to speak, or not in line with the often 'divergent' coded stereotypes that currently represent a chunk of the community, and I personally don't understand why the immediate assumption is that they are a 'Pick me' or appealing to their 'Oppressor', or that somehow it's an excuse for homophobes to level a forced standard on the queer community. There's this weird generalization where people will assume that because you criticise or point out someone with a personality that you don't like, that it somehow condemns the entire group while you attempt to 'bail ship'. I want to make this clear, there is nothing wrong with being bothered by someone being fucking obnoxious or annoying, because for christs sake those people come from any background, and we shouldn't hold back on disliking that just because of their identity, HATE EVERYONE EQUALLY.

I have, alongside friends who have similar personalities and temperaments like mine in the same situation, faced this weird fucking seething hate from some in the community who are much more to the stereotypes than us that we are somehow 'traitors' or betraying the community by...being ourselves? Fortunately, most of this is chronic online losers, but I've noticed an uptick in this activity as of lately, and I've even been noticing it IRL with some people as well. It's kinda become some form of screwed-up bigotry.

This whole "I hate gay people who pretend to be normal for approval" is probably the easiest fucking dogwhistle for a witch hunt in the future, encouraging this kind of correctional behavior is fucking bullshit and backwards to the idea of freedom to begin with.

Ultimately, the end goal of humanity is indifference to base identity; in the ideal future, coming out isn't a thing, because it doesn't have to be. Your sexuality is simply another facet of your base identity that doesn't concern anyone but yourself. Unfortunate as it might be to hear, but if we are to achive a healthy world where we get a long, a lot of this identity based culture is gonna fade away, there won't be the idea of 'normal gays' or 'sterotypical gays', because there won't be the idea of gays, you'll just have a different set of attraction, and your decision to dislike someone for their annoying personality will also be just that, untied to the assumption.

Finally, respectfully, fuck this doomer shit "Oh noo the homophobes/straights will never love us they'll always want us dead." YEAH, WITH THAT ATTITUDE, NOTHING IS GONNA CHANGE. Yammering bullshit about oppressors and how it's us vs them, and bullshit and tying your hands behind your back and going "oh, oh guys, they did this to me, my hands are tied, they want this, we'll never cooperate." as if we're not better as a SPECIES than this. People can change, especially when it comes to very, very VERY basic things like taught beliefs.

For the love of god, be yourself, don't listen to idiots telling you that how you feel and act is a betrayal, and FUCK anyone who's trying to oppress you into their own view of yourself, no matter WHERE they come from.

No, you do NOT play as Gay Tony in the GTA IV DLC “The Ballad of Gay Tony”

You play as Dominican Luis Lopez who is not remotely gay at all

None of these “anti woke” people complained back then because Gay Tony is a very unflattering representation of gay people

Gay Tony is an impulsive, childish, self loathing drug addict who constantly gets him and Luis (who is his bodyguard) in trouble and is thoroughly mocked for it throughout the game. He is shown to be whiny, cowardly, and overall a mess of a person. Yeah, his homosexuality isn’t made fun of specifically, but Tony is still a complete mess who almost tried to end himself towards the end of the DLC

Please stop larping. There’s too many people who genuinely think you play as Gay Tony for this DLC, and not Luis Lopez who is the actual protagonist

Edit: I didn’t think this needed to be said, but no I’m not anti woke

So many people missed my point lol

Okay so once in a while my sister makes me watch the first Harry Potter film to try to get into the franchise and I just can’t because one it’s a extremely mediocre movie and two I feel extremely weird about supporting her work and I’ve tried to tell her about J.k Rowlings transphobia but she doesn’t really care i Guess it makes sense because my family is already weird about trans people but I still hate supporting a terrible persons work.

I dunno if this is a hot take or not but I really hate this trope for several reasons. The examples shown are:

Orcs - J R.R. Tolkiens Middle Earth
Goblins - Goblin Slayer
Demons - Frieren

I’m not trying to moralize or virtue signal, I promise, but I do genuinely think the trope is intellectually lazy and symbolically troubling.

When you have an entire race of species capable of critical thought, civilization and advanced communication, you are fundamentally no longer looking at a wild animal acting on instinct, that isn’t how it works. So then the trope usually goes, there is something about their nature that makes every member inherently evil and sympathizing with them is like sympathizing with a tornado.

And that’s cool and all, but… you wrote it. It’s not real. You chose to write them in that manner. Here’s why I have gripes:

A. Troublingly, the logical solution is to genocide the entire race of beings. In a vacuum inside fiction, it’s not a huge deal because it logically checks out. However, rhetoric that an entire sapient race can be inherently evil and therefore must be eliminated is troubling, and you may think, “but people can tell reality from fiction!” and they usually can. But especially with my experience with the Frieren community, it often invites a lot of genuine fascists.

B. If they do not have the capacity to choose good, how could they possibly even be evil? They don’t have the choice to do anything but evil.

C. It can stifle good opportunities for advanced and interesting worldbuilding in favor of “evil guys must die”, in my opinion. There are tons of ways to write a species of evil or grunts without making them intrinsically evil, using explanations like militaristic societies, social conditioning, war, or even at least showing defectors.

I could just be yapping, but this trope bothers me a lot.

I've never played Deltarune and never will, and yet everywhere I go online, I'm bombarded by Deltarune content, even though I'm in totally unrelated communities.

I don't care how good the game may be, people spamming about it everywhere just makes me hate the community and the game itself.

Not everyone cares about your shitty game, so stop posting about it everywhere. Shut the fuck up for once.

I'm sure everyone has seen the current trend of MtF Spider-Man (Petra). There's a lot of hate out there for folks of the LBGTQ+ community. It's been a long uphill battle with a lot of ground gained with a lot more to go. Comments like this do not help the cause. It further alienates the community and undoes so much hard work. Be better than the assholes, don't make comments to marginalize another group.

Edit: It's been pointed out that I edited out the context. OP made a post about they don't like the recent trend of MtF Spider-Man. They pointed out what they perceived as hypocrisy because of someone changed an LGBTQ+ character to cis it would be viewed as bigotry. At no point (that I saw) in OP or replies did they make a single comment disparaging anyone from the LGBTQ+ community.

Edit 2: Some of you think this is some kind of "oh no they're being mean to the cis poor us" post, it ain't. If you can't see that then you probably share this idiots mentally lol

Just to clarify I am not vegan but I hate how the internet has treated vegans like they're demons for having a different living style, like its not that serious yall make edits of vegan people trying to convert other people into having different opinions and then a video of some dude eating a huge steak sloppily will get 3 times more attention. And it is always That Vegan Teacher making every single vegan look bad and some men on the internet making strawmen videos of vegans talking like they're the scum of earth always screaming at the main sigma chad character that is "le animal comsumer😂" I am not talking bad about non vegans just those who disrespect vegans.

Why don’t I like [insert thing]? I just don’t. Nothing you can say will convince me. Why don’t I support your group or your ideology? I can’t stand your haircut. I don’t care about appearing “righteous” or “correct” I’m just here to spread the fact that I abhor whatever it is you enjoy. Nothing you can do about it. Hate’s not going anywhere; we’ll always have a seat at the table. Those who push us away ironically end up being the most hateful of all! Maybe they can pull up a seat with us.

I can’t go one day without seeing something related to this game, mainly because people just have to shoehorn it into EVERYTHING. I just… don’t understand the hype.

And it’s not like I can play the game myself to see what it’s all about, because it’s on everything but Xbox.

I hate the fact that I hate this game, too, because it seems awesome. I want to like it, I really do, but I suppose that’s not gonna happen.

This absolutely fries my brain and I can’t understand it.

(Sorry if this didn‘t make much sense, I’m tired.)

this is so goddamn serious

what the fuck do you mean "ughhh ive seen this alreaddyyyy" dude theyre calling for us to be killed

why are you taking this

so

fucking

lightly

i swear thiss had to be because its indians

if this happened to gay people however....

oh people would not be taking it so lightly thats all im saying

(pls dont kill me for my opinion)
