The Unpopular Opinions Thread

[Amon 4,279]

I really don't get trolls.

 

What do they do for a living? "Troll" people online?

 

You see my fellow trolls and I are born with several gene mutations that make us better suited to prolonged internet use. We can dilate our eyes at will and are extremely resistant to bright lights. Our finger muscles are strong to allow for rapid typing and our arms are of an above average length to allow comfortable typing from a variety of positions. The cortex of our brain has been installed with the latest bullshit detectors, the temporal lobe has also been desensitized to reduce the impact of shock images, stories, and various oddities on the internet. We also have fast metabolisms to avoid gaining unnecessary weight due to our long periods of inactivity.

 

However all of these abilities come at a cost, in order for a Troll such as myself to survive we must feed off of a rare and extremely powerful substance known as "Teh Lulz". Lulz is believed to be a new element however scientist have been unable to obtain enough lulz for them to work with and further study the potential element. Lulz is believed to be a great source of energy. Lulz is believed to be the key to warp speed, teleportation, and time travel. The real problem with lulz is that it doesn't seem to manifest itself in the physical world very often, only on the internet. As such, Trolls do various things to obtain lulz on the internet, via starting a flamewar, writing an essay on why Mickey Mouse dildos are superior to Donald Duck dildos and so on and so forth. Lulz seems to be generated from the reactions of other people to the trolls. Without trolling victims there are no lulz and without lulz there are no trolls. If you want to get rid of a troll, don't feed him.

If we don't feed them they will die and then we will be sued by Peeta for not feeding something. ./shot

Rape jokes are NOT funny.

[_The Door To Light_ 1,507]

There's just something about the taste I really don't like. I can't explain it, but it's just down right 'blugh'

 

 

I love Pepsi and Coke though =)

 

Personally, I like Coke better than Pepsi since it's sweeter.

But you know which soft drink is really bad in my opinion? Mountain Dew.

not sure if ive posted this before but

cartoons in this generation are like

way better then the previous one

these actually try teach some morals and handle things very well

But they are opinions, in a sense.

 

Also, I despise and loathe people who believe that individuals with a disorder or disability can somehow turn off the symptoms like that. I have aunts and cousins who constantly criticize me for being wrapped in my electronics, for having the ideologies I do and for the way I go about doing things because I'm not like them or their children. It's not that simple, you can't expect me to change a big part of my mindset for a few hours at a social gathering just because the way I go about doing things displeases you, ESPECIALLY when it's a symptom. It's not that simple and it's actually quite difficult. And I find appalling when my extended family tells me to smarten up and stop acting like a child when they're being the narrow minded ones and they can't even accept me fully themselves.

Depends on the cartoon. A lot of them are just stupidity for the sake of stupidity.

Like Adventure Time and that one with the Astronaut Fish

[Amon 4,279]

Yeah and with that said, I honestly don't like Adventure Time. It's creative and some of the episodes are pretty entertaining, but it gets much more credit than it deserves.

Adventure Time has dealt with pretty serious issues though??

Like a recent(?) episode had some character make unwanted advances to Princess Bubblegum and she fought back like

basically teaching children that if someone does something to you that you dont want that you do something about

thats a pretty important topic?>??

and theres much more than that too

[Kinode 3,056]

Totally agree. I don't even see what the point is, honestly.

Of course it's gonna have morals

any cartoon, even a stupid one, will

but it's pretty ridiculous

I don't know. I love Beavis and Butthead, but I don't really any important morals being taught by watching it.

its not even morals tho, its actually teaching about stuff that isnt taught but should be

as well, old cartoons had no morals and didnt teach anything except how to b little asshats

if you think about it, older cartoons had really douch-y characters

not saying they werent good, but they werent appropriate for children and didnt teach anything useful imo

basically my whole point is that cartoons today are a lot more age appropriate and teach things that are useful and are lot more accepting (I mean come on couldve Bubbline been anymore heavily hinted)

Though, cartoons back in the day were meant for adults and that didnt really change (imo) till recently with all these newer cartoons

I think the cartoons the previous geneation were a lot better.

 

Morals aside, this one was pretty boring.

 

The old spongebob, Courage the Cowardly Dog, etc. were much better.

 

The ones I like this generation has only been Mickey Mouse clubhouse, for some reason I laugh too much at it.

[Protoman 1,974]

Cartoons are great all around, you just have to find the right ones.

[Number XV 490]

The point is, yeah, Adventure Time is stupid a lot of times, but it's great AT being stupid, which I've never seen before. And it's hilarious to me. So this whole 'lol 90s cartoons are better' crap I've heard is stupid. I like it, and that's all that matters. Same applies to music, movies, etc.

 

Now moving on to the opinion that'll get me hated. This 'the military is defending our rights' is bullcrap. Seriously, most of the time the military is at war is A. selfish corporal reasons, B. Stupid revenge or C. Defending horrible laws for selfish reasons. (I'm looking at you, Confederacy.) Now I believe in a decent amount of respect for veterans as much as the next guy, but I'm really anti-military and 'Get your nose out of other's business when it's not wanted, America'.

You know that chick? The one who loves JB and all that shit.

Both of them,

 

 

They. Were. CYBER-BULLIES.

NOT TROLLS

CYBER-BULLIES!

 

 

I know you all are going to read this and be like wtf but.

 

If somebody DOES CHANGE from being a bully to a better person. Then you have no right to judge them for the things they did in the past.

Say this one guy was a bully to this kid. And the guy who was bullying him sees that he's hurting the kid. So he stops bullying the kid and says sorry and the guy who used to be a bully changed into a better person.

 

 

 

Justin Bieber is a super-star cause he worked hard. Not cause of haters.

 

I'm not hurting anybody by SHIPPING A SHIP

Dealz with it.

 

Why say somebody is your role model when they never did anything. Like really.

 

Boy bands kinda suck. Most of them are love songs and really I'm getting tired of it.

 

Rock bands are awesome, Drank Bell needs to calm his tits about JB.

Ass VS Boobs Ass wins.

I'm done.

It sounds like you're slightly misinformed here. I'm not saying your opinion's wrong, because that's impossible, but some of what you're saying is factually inaccurate. For the 'selfish corporal reasons' part, I honestly can't think of anything off of the top of my head that was solely based on that. Wars are never for one single purpose, and if corporal reasons are parts of wars, they're very small factors. Corporal reasons alone would never start a war. For 'stupid revenge', the only 'revenge' wars I can think of were in self-defense, not revenge. For instance, the wars overseas currently are not revenge. It's kill or be killed. The terrorists are never going to stop trying to kill all of us, so why should we sit and wait for them to succeed? On the Confederacy bit, you kind of can't blame them. From our perspective nowadays, yes, it's horrible. But back then, why would it be considered bad to them? People have been doing it for thousands of years. Plus, it was almost easy for the North to get rid of slavery. But in the South, where they lived off of farming, that was impossible. If they gave up slaves willingly, 99% of them would go broke, lose their land, and probably starve to death. When you look at it that way, they kind of had no choice. Saving your own life and the lives of many doesn't sound very selfish to me. I'm not saying slavery is right, but imagine if you had been a plantation owner back then. Your entire workforce was made of slaves because if you paid employees, you may not make enough money to put food on the table. Then someone tells you to free all of your slaves, even though you and your family would starve and die, would you do it? No. Because you love your family and you would never want them to suffer. Slavery is still wrong, but you can see why they were unwilling to give up the practice.

 

Just want to reiterate, you have a valid opinion, the facts defending were just wrong.

I can't stand the whole "x >>>>>>>" thing on Twitter. (Not sure where else it happens. I just see it a lot on Twitter) For example, someone may tweet, "Today >>>>>>>". I understand what they mean by it, but I'm always thinking, today was greater than not today? It just annoys me.

[wondermeow523 161]

adventure time is great idk what you're all talking about.

It's just a bit childish for some people like me.

[Oblivion21 29]

I actually think Lady Gaga is one of the most amazing singers of this generation. I really respect her. She's an amazing performer and I wouldn't describe her music as 'pop'. I'm not sure what it is. It's a little of everything. I mean songs like Heavy Metal Lover and Scheisse definitely are not pop. I'm really glad she exists. And I'm glad she's fighting to make a law for Jamey, one of her fans that committed suicide.

 

Women = Men, equal in every single way. Women are not smarter. Men are not stronger. Men shouldn't be expected to hold doors and pull out chairs unless women are too.

 

Bush screwed everything up. Obama can't really do much. It's like, he's trying to undo all of Bush's mistakes imo. He's not the best, but I don't think he's done anything wrong. We all mess up.

It's all Bush's fault

 

This is going to be my unpopular opinion.

[Kishira 2,854]

I have 0 sympathy for the whole Amanda Todd thing going around. .-.

[Dracozombie 4,554]

Honestly, I'm beginning to feel stupid and foolish for ever liking KH. Now that I'm seeing more objective looks at the game, it's really not worth much.
