The Unpopular Opinions Thread

Recommended Posts

I agree with your opinion partially, if you mean complaining about having to learn.

 

However, complaining about GOING to school and putting up with a bunch of shit is a different story.

High school students have the same anxiety levels as psychiatric patients in the 1950s.

There are students who dread going to school because it's a place where you're pressured to do well and when you don't meet the standards, you are told you are stupid and need to be held back (which is humiliating to some degree) or you need to try hard (despite trying your best already) or you need remedial classes (which sometimes, the teachers don't give a shit)

As well as students who have to put up with bullying every day (and having no one who'll actually do anything.)

I mean, I tell my parents I'm stressed out over school and they laugh at me saying I have nothing to stress over. But school is not the best environment for teenagers. 

Because seriously? Being pressured to do my best, completing and turning in every assignment, acing every test, being sociable (forced to be sociable to be exact), being pressured into choosing a career path already when I don't even know what I want for dinner, and not even learning but memorizing everything because in our education system all they do is make us memorize? That is all awful.

And just the fact that there are kids who have killed themselves over education shows that the system needs serious fixing. 

 

It also depends on the school itself.  While a lot of people on the internet are happy to consider their school a shithole with worthless teachers and themselves being the few sane, intelligent ones, there are a few schools like my past ones that were actually nice and didn't fulfill the school requirements of sucking hard.  The teachers were nice, took their jobs seriously, encouraged us to succeeded and helped us if we couldn't instead of bringing us down, and were usually competent.  Shera's not completely in the wrong here, as I'm proof that there are situations when most of your bad school experiences are brought upon yourself.  I was teased to the point where I ate lunch by myself in the bathroom when my friends didn't share my lunch period.  I was also a lazy, closed-minded, hysterical little nitwit who automatically took any kind of criticism, no matter how helpful and true, as an insult.  It didn't even matter who gave it to me--friends, family, frenemies, bullies, I never listened.  Nope, I was a perfect little angel stuck in a system of people who pick on me and make me miserable for no reason.  You can get I hated it.

 

Mine is hardly an isolated case, and it can be hard to determine how much of your problems are dependent on your surroundings, or your personality, temperament, and ability to handle yourself.  There are a whole ton of students out there who have every right to complain (I'm glad I'm in college), but there are also people like my past self who are whining at school for things completely within their control.  I whined about doing useless schoolwork when I could've just used it to show I'm responsible, instead of doing nothing but play video games and watch TV.  I whined about the bullying when I realized they bullied me precisely because I overreacted by chasing them around like a dumbass (like a 4'something scrawny little girl could actually accomplish anything).  I whined when my parents complained about a bad report card and disciplined me, when I was just too lazy to do the work--I didn't even have the excuse of real life getting in the way because I didn't do anything but laze about.  I'm mainly speaking from middle school, but it carried over halfway into high school as well.

 

Shera's opinion isn't true in all cases, but it certainly applies to some people.  I wish someone could've looked me in the eye and told me what a dumbass I was, except I would've just exploded in their face instead of learning my lesson after it was too late to apply it.

So most people rely on Critics for movies, or for games and such, but Me I don't trust them at all. Especially after today. Identity Thief (movie) has a bad critic rating, I went and saw it anyways cause you know...screw critics and It was hilarious and the critic reviews said "Hardly any laughs" yea, so tell me why was everyone laughing so much the entire movie? Then as I mentioned a few times before around the site the 2004 'Catwoman' movie with Halle Berry. It was put on the "Worst Movies of All Time" list but yet I enjoy that movie so much! It's one of the best superhero films out there in my honest opinion. So screw critics, they suck.

I really don't like a lot of 90s~ early 2000s cartoons and don't see the appeal to most of them......

At least most American shows

Maybe I need to watch more of them to really form an opinion on them, but a lot of them were those little gag segments.

I guess it's because I'm used to watching anime and anime are usually really story based and involved more character growth.

Indeed, you should watch more to form an opinion.  You might be so used to anime that you don't see the appeal of 90s western cartoons, but the people used to western shows won't see the appeal of anime.  As much as I love the 90s cartoons, us 90s kids can be heavily biased towards what we didn't grow up with, though the same can be said for any generation--we're just the most vocal because older generations have better things to do than complain about it on the internet, and the current generations are too young to act like crotchety old farts complaining about how things were better in their day (not that it stops some of them).  I don't watch many of the cartoons today so I can't really say why the 90s ones appeal to me better other than pure nostalgia, though unlike many of my 90s brethren, I don't exclude all of the current ones on air.

In magazines and stuff you see girls who are ridiculously skinny like Kate Middleton, and while she's a beautiful lady, I think women are a lot prettier if there aren't any bones jutting out and they have a healthy amount of body fat. Like, instead of having a six pack and stick-thin arms, I think they'd look prettier if they had a flattish but non-ab-showing stomach and healthier looking arms. I don't think I make much sense xD Something like contrasting these

some women just naturally dont have much fat and cant gain weight and while preferences are okay, saying things like women would e much prettier if they all looked like a certain way just adds to the list attributes a woman must have to be perfect

stigmatizing being fat and stigmatizin being skinny are bpth not good and i think we need to let everyone, not just women, look how thy want without telling them theyd look better if they changed their appearance somehow

I meant the ones who are like purposely ridiculously skinny (like anorexics etc.) (probably should have clarified that) Personally I think they look prettier if they're healthy looking--not really skinny nor really fat, just average--but that's not to say people who aren't are ugly. I just preferentially think (most) women look better at an average/healthy weight. If they look different that's fine and everyone's pretty in their own way regardless if they're of a lower/higher weight, I just prefer women who are roughly average. I think it looks better but I didn't mean anything against people who are of a different weight.

tbh sometimes i think romney would be a better president than obama :c

Agrees x 1190384093284320984 

 

The real dilemma is that Romney is a shitty person and Obama's a good person. But Obama is a shitty President and Romney would be much better.

Just cause I don't believe in God. Does NOT mean I'm in the 'wrong Direction." 

I have my reason to not believe him. I never talk shit about him nor the people who believe in him. 

I just stopped believing in him after that shooting. Even tho I tried to make myself believe in him, I just couldn't.

:/

 

 

I HATE that lego friends. . I . Me. A GIRL. BTWs.

Use to play with Legos all the time, and so did many another girls. It's kinda firetrucking sexist how they made one for girls when it just pink with hearts and shit. . .

This just pissed me off.

 

That new Oz movie. Whatever it called. Again.

Sexist.

All the Sewers , were all women.

While all the tinkers , were men.

And Oz, was nothing but a jerk . But nooo, He still gets the girl at the end.

And he made her sister fall in love with him only to be heart-broken at the end.

To me. It was nothing but shit.

 

I'm so tired of shitty fanfics being loved.

Bad grammar , bad spelling, makes the guy/girl look like a jerk off and always changes the whole god damn story.

It's annoying. People with GOOD grammar, spelling, makes sure the guy/girl doesn't look like a jerk and has a GOOD STORY LINE never EVER get the kind of reviews shitty girly fanfics get.

 

 

 

I'm so tired of this.

No.

Just cause you are gay. Does not make it okay to have ten boyfriends/girlfriends at once. ( I know a lot of people who do this and it's getting me pissed.)

It is NOT okay for ANYBODY to cheat .

 

Mitt would make everything worse.

He would take away women's right, gay rights, and just firetruck this place up more. He is a bad person and I'm glad he lost.

 

If I see one more "Obama is evil." or some shit

I'm gonna pop somebody in the month.

 

 

I said this twice already.

YOU.

ARE A GOD DAMN WHITE BOY ON A MOTHAfiretruckING BIKE YOUR MOM GOT YOU

GET

OVER YOURSELF

BEFORE I COME AND PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE!

YOU

ARE A WHITE GIRL

WHO THINKS SHE'S COOL

CAUSE SHE WEARS SHORT DRESS IN THE FREEZING COLD

YA SO RIGHT YA SO COOLLLLL

EVEN THO YOUR GONNA GET SICK

OOO YOU GOT RED HAIR

NICE JOB GURL

KEEP DYING IT 

AND IT'S GONNA FALL OUT!

 

Boston really sucks.

 

 

I don't like drinking.

The smell makes me want to puke.

The taste makes me gag.

I just hate it. And it's funny cause my whole family drinks. 

 

Boys are more fun to hang out with then girls. Idk why but they just are . 

 

If your still upset over something that happen 3 years old and it wasn't even that big of a deal.Then you need to be sit down and talked to. Forgiving isn't easy I know. And afterwards you feel numb.

But you feel great after cause finally there's no more anger inside you.

 

My Poems are the shit.

:P

I really hate when you have to bottle up your emotions and you just can't ever let them out. 

 

I also (extremely unpopular opinion coming) really hate the internet sometimes. I'm so happy and fulfilled and real life and it's only whenever I turn on my computer that I feel sad (not always but still). It's like the internet just changes people.

I really hate when people say something about a certain subject and they're completely jumping in not knowing what they're talking about. The one example I can think of right now is giving reviews on something. I'll just use this as a quickie example http://kurvos.deviantart.com/journal/Higurashi-No-Naku-Koro-Ni-Review-235198753

 

I can understand their confusion, but they try to give a solid opinion on what seems to be based off of 15 minutes of watching the show. They mock the characters and plot while not having any knowledge about what's going on. 

http://kurvos.deviantart.com/journal/Tokyo-Mew-Mew-Review-rant-235224512

And just bringing that up because of how dull their criticisms are and their point about it being a Sailor Moon ripoff... but I'm not gonna rant on that.

I am fine with people having opinions, but their opinions sound really ridiculous and don't really take a solid stance.

 

I dunno where this really belongs, but this was just seriously bothering me >w>

[Don't know if it counts as an unpopular opinion]

 

I think people should realize that war and divorce isnt the answer to everything in the world. I mean look, the world history is basically written in bloodshed. Almost every turn-point involves a war.

 

People nowadays purely rely on guns, I don't know if the future'll know what peace is.

War isn't always right, but without it our world would not be a very happy place. Africa would be entirely carved up and dominated by Europe (it isn't because they had a war against the Europeans and by modern day the Europeans have all relinquished control), America and India among other places would still be considered English colonies. South America would be controlled by Brazil and Portugal, Libya and Egypt would be no closer to getting a better political system and ruler, etc. War isn't always right, but it brings about change that sometimes the world NEEDS. I'm not going to justify the war in Afghanistan, but America has really benefited a lot of the Afghanis by providing food, better health care, protection, freedom from the Taliban, etc. Sometimes it's simply necessary to bring about good kinds of change and to get rid of "bad guys".

I hate slut-shamers in general but the ones who piss me off are the ones who have gone out with multiple people. I mean the ones who are like "that girl is a whore because she went out with a boy or 2" but went out with a new girl every week. What kind of logic is that? And then they defend themselves calling them a pimp. Like I seriously don't get this, and I am tired of hypocrites who oppose something yet they do the same. Oh is it just bad that a girl does it? 

 

I also hate it when a guy claims he's a gentleman, but he pulls this kind of shit behind girls and it shows how much of a hypocrite and a liar they really are.

Agreed :3

Sex.

Is.

Not.

That.

important .

Yes.

It is not. if you can go on somewhat years without it, then you can live without it for a few weeks.

Really, get the firetruck over it. 

If your girlfriend/boyfriend doesn't want to have sex no matter how long it been, then be a good boyfriend/girlfriend and leave them alone.

 

Boobs are not that hot.

Really.

It's not for looking at, it's for feeding babies. 

 

 

If you don't ship Dean with Cas then I can't look at you.

Like really, it's just so.

BKJVBREHJBGEJRBGJERBGIHEF

(Don't judge me.)

:P

Haylor shippers are not bad people you are a bad person for cyber-bullying them just cause you don't like what they ship.

 

Sims 4 is gonna be stupid as firetruck.

 

 

Homestuck sucks.

I tried reading it ten times and it just annoying to me. 

 

I post to much in this thread lol.

If you're one of those people who falsely pretend to be within an oppressed group just for either sympathy or any other reason, then you need to know that you are basically mocking the oppressed groups. Seriously its not fun or cool to be oppressed, and if you want sympathy then thats even dumber because the reason these groups are oppressed are because mainly they barely get sympathy from some others in society.

 

Honestly I have no idea where this transethnic idea came from in Tumblr buts thats really stupid. Mainly because the people using it just can't say they like other cultures.

You mostly see that on a TV sitcom honestly, but I agree.

 

I swear like alot people expect Kh to be perfect. Like I would always hear conplains about Coded and Days, it's not a perfect game what do you expect it to be? Of course it's gonna be like that, it's not like it's gonna have god of war gameplay.

"If Terra, Ven, Roxas, and Xion doesn't come back then kh3 is horrible ". "Everybody is gonna come back, they better or else the game will be shit Hurr Durr ".

No. I honestly think it wouldnt make sense to have everyone come back. Terra is screwed, he's firetrucked man.

 

Basically its not appropriate to have Terra, Roxas, or Xion to come back.
