I find the term "mainstream" to be too mainstream.
lol u hipster
But seriously, I thought hipsters were a type of panty.
I hate hate.
This seems a bit redundant now.
But I'll bite and say I hate how the word "hipster" is thrown around these day. It feels like that word is just thrown around and used to describe something people don't like.

I mostly use it to describe a certain style of dress. Like the people who camp out in front of Apple Brainwashing Inc. every week.
I am unashamed of the idea of people who disbelieve in the theory of villagers not worshipping their local god which resides in the fjords.

I find the theory of "Goku vs Superman" being ludicrous since they'd easily become bros and just beat each other at the local buffets.
I think topics about Unpopular Opinion is overrated. There, I said it! :imnothappy:

Oh God, on comicvine I used to get creamed everytime I said that. Goku is much faster and I'm sure planet buster attacks are enough to take out Superman. Deal with it, bitches. :anger:
I really hate when people lump Lizzie McGuire and Kim Possible in with 90's shows.
I mean, it's one thing to call Rocket Power and The Amanda Show 90's classics, but I hate seeing people say you're a 90's kid if you own all of Hillary Duff's albums or if you can sing the whole Proud Family theme. Uh, you aren't.
Uhh, I feel sorry for anyone that owns a Hillary Duff album. Seriously.
I really don't get why people are so nostalgic for older Disney shows. They've always been as stupid and shallow as they are now, the live-action shows at least.
I mean, there are even tweens/older teens now pining for the days of Hannah Montana and Suite Life. Give it a couple of years, and you'll hear people say that Disney was at it's best with Shake It Up or whatever they have now.
I'm nostalgic for Mickey's Mouse Tracks. I want that Disney Channel back.
Whoa, they aired Fleischer shorts on that. Sounds pretty cool.
And The Torkelsons. Man I miss that show. Used to watch it with my mom.
And watching Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers in the mornings before school with my brother, who was just at the age of learning to talk.
And I even watched a lot of Lizzie Mcguire back in the day, but it goes along with shows like The Brothers Garcia in a pile of shows I used to like but now couldn't give two shits about. Every once in a while I get the urge to rewatch some Even Stevens though, even though I can't stand Shia anymore.
Even Stevens was actually not bad. And Shia was pretty good in it.
Oh, have you seen what Beans looks like now? He looks pretty fucked up. So does the girl that played Matilda.
I remember looking up what Matt from Lizzie Mcguire grew up to be a while back, and he looked like a complete douche. Haven't looked up Beans though.
You know what show I think really sucked from back then but is also held in high regard? That's So Raven.
Seriously, it was so fucking obnoxious. Raven yelling OH SNAP and YA NASTY all the fucking time, the incredibly redundant and idiotic plots, where even the mom randomly leaving halfway through the show because she couldn't stand it anymore. And it go really bad when it got to the point that Raven was like in her 20's still playing a 16-year-old and Cory was like 13 still playing a 4th grader, since they didn't age on the show.
That was around the time I stopped watching the channel, so I didn't see much of the show. I did use to think the red-haired girl was hot though.

But that's kind of like how Kelso and Hyde were supposed to be 18 years old at a time when Ashton Kutcher and Danny Masterson were in like their mid to late 20s. They were already around 20 when the show started.
Eh, true. I guess with stuff like this, we should stick to Doug Walker's "If Hermione's tits are still in high school, than I'll believe anything" mentality.
Heh, someone posted a picture of the girl who played Hermione on GAF and I was all "OMG boner!". She really got attractive.
Eh, I don't really like her with short hair, but I'm still hoping they'll keep the sex scenes in Perks of Being a Wallflower intact, cause I'd love to see her naked.
When does that get released?
I can't find a release date. It should be done filming, so idk why.
Speaking of "ahem", that girl who waves the flag in that Kia commercial is hot as fuck. I want to see more of her.
While we're on this kind of subject, did anyone watch Stay Strong besides me?
If I could, I'd ban the word "overrated" from the internet just to see what other words people would use.
Irregardless, I could care less about such an overrated word. Dude.

I watched some Cinemassacre videos tonight before heading to bed, and clicked one of the recent videos, some commentary on Elmo in Grouchland.
Big fucking mistake, James Rolfe was nowhere to be found and I was treated to Mike Matei's pasty little face. So I sat through it and holy shit, this guy is the epitome of unfunny. He kept making immature dick jokes and macabre references.
How does anyone like his stuff?

I don't even know. James Rolfe is literally the only good thing about Cinemassacre.
Wasn't Mike Matel the guy that trolled Watch a couple of years ago stanning Thad?
I don't know about that, but he did used to post on GAC. From what I've read of his posts he's pretty much as funny as Rogue just described him. I guess the staff got tired of him after a while, because he eventually got banned, which was a pretty big achievement on that site.
That's probably him then.
And yeah, this happened before your time on Watch, when Jonn was still admin, so I wouldn't expect you to really know or remember that whole thing. But it was fun.
I haven't heard anything positive about Mike Matei from anyone who has ever interacted with him. As far as I'm concerned he's just a leech on James Rolfe.
Mike Matei is an arrogant, untalented asshole. I've had the dubious pleasure of interacting with him myself. This is absolutely nothing good to say about him.
That being said...
James isn't really any better. I'm really getting sick of how he's worshiped by an army of 12-year-old fanboys and autistic shut-ins as some sort of Internet god. He's best days are behind him anyway and he frittered them away. He had his moment in the sun and it's over. I'm only sad that I ever had anything to do with either of them.

I liked his ROB review.
Well, quality of material aside, I've heard good things about James from people who have dealt with him. Matei not so much.
By the way, unrelated, but is the Irate Gamer still going?
Yeah, he's still making crappy crap crap crap. Most of his videos these days barely scratch 50K views, so I'm thinking his end is near.

He has some Tosh.0 knockoff show on MTV, which plays a lot on my ship. He was also in a few other MTV shows, like Rob and Big. Pretty much he's the most annoying skater turned MTV star since Bam Margera.

I saw a post on TZ about that show comparing it to Rocket Power... which is enough of a reason to not watch. XD
I've seen those characters before. They sell to movie tickets or something, the little ads play before movies in one of the theaters around here(it's not AMC Lynnhaven, might be the one on base).

I'm all for gay rights and gay marriage and what not(because why the hell not, is letting gay people get married really going to hurt all those STRAIGHT people who are bitching about it?), but I don't give a shit what Chick-Fil-A does, I'm still going to eat there, because it's fucking delicious. If it was any other fast food company, I'd probably feel different(except Jack in the Box, I think I've mentioned before that I think they can do no wrong), but it's Chick-Fil-A, one of the best, a really top tier restaurant as far as quality goes. The way I see it is that they are fighting a losing battle anyway, the tolerance for gay people in the country is the highest it's ever been, and it's only going to get higher. So why throw a fit if people go to Chick-Fil-A and (indirectly) send their money to these anti-gay causes, if it's all in vain? I'm not giving them my money because I agree with them, I'm giving them my money because I love their Spicy Chicken Sandwich with Pepper Jack Cheese, a large waffle fries, and a large lemonade.
Also, there's millions of people out there that use i-devices(including me), wear Nikes or Vans(me again), and use/wear/consume dozens if not hundreds of other things that are made by slave labor, and yet for some reason it's for the most part acceptable. Yeah, there are people that rally against this practice, but it's never been as big of a deal as this CFA thing has been.
/ranty rant.
The thing is, that's his opinion- the owner's opinion. It's not like it's the philosophy of the entire company. And if the boss feels that... so what? He was asked a question and he answered what he thought. It's the free world, isn't it? What does it matter what his opinion is? It's not like they put out a flyer saying that gay people suck or anything, or walk around stoning gays, it was the personal opinion of one guy.
Honestly, I thought the opinion from the mayor of Chicago was weirder.
Although, the owner is in a position of power. It's the equivalent of a governor or leader saying that God's judgment is on a particular group. It may be his opinion, but with his stature, his opinion has influence.
Maybe it's a bit of a different situation, but why does no one go after the people and companies that decry socialism/communism? The idea that communism is bad is just as fucking ancient, we are not in the god damned Cold War anymore. Shit, the way our government is right now, we could do with some socialist fundamentals, and really when someone accuses Obama of being a socialist, he shouldn't deny it or be ashamed of it, he should be damned proud, because that would mean he actually gives a shit about the working people.

This is what bothers me about current politics. If someone has a different opinion than your own, then they are instantly vilified as some monster that needs to be stopped as they are some kind of immoral scum- as witnessed by the Chicago mayor's comments which are more disturbing to me than this man's personal thoughts.

It's probably because a lot of us still remember the USSR and what happened there that communism is still regarded the way it is.
That said, Communism stole a lot from Native American tradition, so I kind of have a sore spot about it. ;)

There's a difference between an unpopular opinion and a wildly prejudicial view of life. If Obama said something like, "It is God's will that all Latin-Americans should be sent to internment camps.", he'd be impeached in little over a week. There's a reason why we don't let the Perrys and the Bachmanns of the world have more power than they already do. If I had a friend who said something openly racist, sexist, or homophobic, I wouldn't nod and let him be with saying that. I'd go, "What the fuckin' hell?"
I really don't want to go further into this, since I'm not a very political person, and again, really hate how militant and hateful politics has become so I'll end it here.

So if he said he was in favor of gay marriage and people found out he didn't really believe that, what do you think the reaction would be? You know exactly what would happen to him. He would still think it; it would still be a thought that exists. But then it would be an issue of how horrible he was to hide it and how his business should fail because he's dishonest. So how does this get solved? It doesn't. If you think that they have to conform to a specific set of thoughts, then it's thought-crime. It doesn't matter what that thought is because personal change is not something anyone has the right to inflict on another. It's against free-will.
This world is not so easy and simple to define. There is not a political party that has all the right answers, because that would be assuming there is one correct mentality to have and everyone else has to change their views to align with yours. If that was the case, everyone would already think like you do and live like you do. But they do not, and they never will because we are all different. We have different cultures, different ethnicities, different pasts, and different futures. While I absolutely have nothing against gay people and do not condone people condemning them, I'm also not a big fan of telling people the "correct" way to think when as the world has shown there is no "correct" way, and the "correct" way sure as heck isn't in the political world.
Again, I think a mayor speaking for what an entire city's view of life consists of is far more disturbing than one man's personal opinions that have nothing to do with the business he happens to own. I'm not one for the leader of my community telling me what I find acceptable.

I understand what you're getting at. But he didn't come out and say it, it was asked in an interview. It wasn't a burning cross or anything of the sort. This really bothers me more because I'm not a fan of how everything gets blown out of proportion these days.
I don't condone people telling them they disagree with the man, I just think taking it out on a business he happens to own that employs many people who don't share his thoughts is a bit out of focus. That's all! I'm done!
Fair point. It's not like every single Chick Fil-A employee lives by a fundamentalist creed. I've even read articles about a few gay cashiers who feel like they're being hit by the crossfire.
Also, how many of you watch or have watched The Simpsons, Family Guy, Futurama, American Dad, Arrested Development? Or Star Wars, Die Hard, Alein, X Men, Avatar(not the Airbender)? Guess what you're supporting there, we all know how shady Murdoch's views are.

I prefer Popeye's Chicken over all fast food brands chicken. I never ate a Chick-Fil-A due to the fact that there really isn't 1 in New York except for maybe like 1 in a college in NY.

You know, this probably does explain why the only Chick-Fil-A I'm aware of around me is located in New Jersey of all place, a place that does observe Blue Laws or whatever it's called.
One thing that does annoy me is that I've seen a few other fast food places support Chick-Fil-a, like McDonald's, Wendy's and KFC. I hope the people who boycott don't like fast food.
Chick-Fil-A was there for me when I first went to college. Regardless of what the CEO believes, I will continue to feast on their delicious chicken.
The sensationalist media attacks and walk-in supporters are both extremely stupid.
I've never eaten at Chick-fil-A once in my life. Ever. This has absolutely nothing to do with Dan Cathy or Focus on the Family or anything like that, though; as far as I can tell, the only two states I've ever lived in (Michigan and Nevada) do not currently house any locations. :P
I don't agree with his opinions at all (in this day and age, why do people continue to be dicks when it comes to this? Christ, just let people lives their lives the way they see fit, gay or straight; they're not hurting anyone), but it's hard for me to condemn an entire restaurant chain that I've never even eaten at*, and really had very little knowledge of until this whole thing blew up. In retrospect, it's probably best that I stay out of this, but hey, there's my two cents anyway.
*I did, however, drive by one in Sacramento once, but I wasn't really in the mood to stop and eat at the moment.
To me, while I don't agree with what they're saying at all, it's kind of like how I still like Michael Jackson's music and Roman Polanski's movies, despite all the awful things they've done. I'm not going to stop eating at Chick-Fil-A just because they;re deeply conservative, like how I won't change the station when "Beat It" comes on and won't deny the epicness that is Chinatown.
You know, while it's clear that American politics is in a rut with no escape, I still find interest in it. As well as the perceptions by the people on what counts as a big issue. I know some people here despise the fact that same-sex marriage has become a hot topic in the face of national debt and bad terms with other countres, though I suppose I would have heard the same over fifty years ago when it came to racial rights and our position with the Soviet Union. When you think about it, politics has always been corrupt. And if you really ponder, it's been less corrupt than ever. After all, we no longer have a Watergate or Iran-Contra affairs in our midst. Sure, Obama may not have delivered what he promised, but he certainly doesn't have blood on his hands like previous presidents.
While the world may not be up to our standards, it's better to try to see it work than be fatalistic about it.
I just realized that apathy is the worst emotion of all time. At least with depression, you're doing something. With apathy, there's nothing. You don't do shit just because you don't feel like it. And for that, fuck you.
There is no emotion worse than apathy, I agree. There is nothing there, just... nothing at all.
So I don't want to keep this going, but the idea of fandom purity just sounds fucking stupid. Like what Sossy said in this very thread, putting a thought police on a fandom just because some people say reprehensible shit is utterly dogmatic in design. That kind of ideology was discredited in the real world decades ago, so the mere thought of applying it onto the anarchic state of the internet is just absurd and something only a loon could think up. There is absolutely no defending the idea that free speech should be restricted just because you're uncomfortable about a subculture you're not even part of. You're punishing the majority for something only the minority do. This isn't just a flaw in ethics, but a destruction of basic logic to believe that people should be mentally restricted en masse based on the biased speculation of a couple people.
I have to confess a dreadful opinion...
...I think Bulk & Skull are the most pointless part of Power Rangers. Like others, I used to think they were funny. But then, I watched their antics on Samurai and found more scorn than laughter. At first, I thought this was just a bad miss until I found some MMPR clips and felt the same. It was then that I realized Bulk and Skull are annoying. The only reason they became fan-favorites was because the main cast was boring as fuck back then. After all, that's why Screech got all the attention in Saved by the Bell.
Too many o' these got dang threads.
Yeah, I think the concept died out by the time the music one was made.
Well, I figured since you guys just made a movie one, why not a TV one as well. Right? RIGHT?
If you feel it's cluttering up space though, just merge them all together. Easy.

That'd end up even more cluttered, though.
It's fine, we should leave them all here. They'll probably make for some decent discussion, anyway.
A lot of people will consider it a sick joke, but I kind of want someone to make a Waifu Harem gallery where all the pictures are of underage Holocaust victims or small children who got murdered by sex offenders. Just to see if someone's that tasteless enough to make such an image.
Most unpopular opinions are essentially opinions that cannot comprehend or empathize with the opinions of others. And that includes this one.
President Obama just bypassed Congress by signing two executive orders on Gun Control. According to the source where I found this, one is to close a loophole that allows convicted felons or non-trustworthy parties prohibited from owning firearms to bypass the law by registering their firearms with a trust or corporation. The other is an order to prohibit military-grade weapons from entering into America by keeping private entities from re-importing guns that the US previously sent to foreign allies.
I'm not behind Gun Control 100%, but neither of these sound like a bad idea to me. Of course, you can count on every stupid wingnut in the country bawling about this all over Facebook and Twitter for the next month or so.
I'm still waiting for the really unpopular opinions like "I don't like black people living ten miles within my personal space" or "I think a closed fist is the best method when a woman mouths off to me".

I think that Goku can kick Superman's ass all the way to his death bed! That's right, I went there!
Who posted the Goku vs Superman video on this site? I want to watch it now. That and the video about why Megaman X is great (all I watched is a few seconds of this MX video and remember a guy doing a Bill Cosby voice :??:)
Are you kidding me?
It's been nearly two years, you scumbag.
Daxdiv, if I were you, I wouldn't even entertain him with a response to his question.
Quiet before I get the ek to embarrass you again. :sly:
He's wrong anyway. :humhumhum:
Two years?
It's a new gsf record.
Am I the only one who doesn't like Flo the Progressive girl? I'm so tired of her
my old co-worker thought she was hot.
Do you guys take issue when stories involving time travel contain time travel paradoxes?
depends on how it is done. terminator 1, 2 and gargoyles do it well to great while terminator 3 should have never existed. lol
3 doesn't really have much of a time paradox, does it? I figured it was more like a quality paradox.
Unless it's a comedy, I tend to be a stickler for such things.
The thing is, is there any time travel story that doesn't have them?
Not many. That's why I tend to be harsh on them.
Honestly, it's better to take time travel plots at face value. Such flaws are all over film and literature.
Even Chrono Trigger could be torn to shreds by just picking them apart.
So Trump is even now still ahead in the Republican polls. Seeing the media trip over themselves is rather hilarious.
