1. Black Christmas is the best slasher flick ever made (it is also one of the first).

2. The Lakers have every right to feel ripped off by the NBA's decision to veto the CP3 trade...especially in light of the fact that the former Clipper owner is a blatant racist. I say this as a Clipper fan.

3. I'm much more interested in Exoplanets than I am in a meaningless Kuiper Belt object in Pluto. The only reason why people care about that ball of rock & ice is bcause of its name.

4. Partying is more enjoyable when tipsy, not drunk.

5. Golf is the worst sport to watch on Earth.

6. Raspberry iced tea is preferable to regular tea.

I think drinking/getting drunk is completely overrated.

If you think watching three hours of either 1.) baseball or 2.) golf is "fun," there is something wrong with you.

I actually enjoy baseball. It's football I have an issue with.

EA is not the worst company ever, Capcom is. Seriously, get it through your heads people. EA might have the "Battlefield Fever" but at least they don't clone their game five goddamn times, then invent ridiculous DLC, and then lock in-game content on the disc. Also, DMC, the last 4 (or five?) Resident Evil games (backing up to RE4 here), no more Megaman, and begging Nintendo to put Pac-Man as a fighter in the new Super Smash Bros. Capcom is a dying company that needs to be put down like Ol' Yeller, but with a little more promethium in the mix.

Also The Last of Us is not the greatest game of all time, it did not further the gaming industry at all with it's choppy ai (at best), and the story was predictable to anyone who has read any post-apocalypse fiction book ever.

Florida still sucks.

1. I actually think Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity is not as bad as everyone makes it to be. The controls way better and the graphics and OST were pretty good. It may feature mostly just 5th gen Pokemon among with some other steps back, but it's really not terrible.

2. Call of Duty is actually a decent series, it's just the community that sucks ass (Its fanbase is made up of 10 year old wannabe thugs and 20 something dudebros that refuse to play anything that isn't COD or Madden, because it's "nerdy crap")

3. Elder Scrolls is overrated, Fallout is way better (Yes, I know it's made by the same company)

4. I don't think music today sucks, Most of the stuff on the charts is pretty bad, but if people actually took advantage of sites like last.fm or spotify, they can find plenty of recent music that's really good. Plus, while I'm not a hip hop fan at all, I can't deny that rap has progressed so far from its "ringtone rap" phase 9 years ago.

The Super Bowl is a meaningless shortcut to people who hasn't watched a single game in the series. It is also overly generalized based off solely on its commercials. With that said, the Super Bowl is lame.

I think Dark Souls II is infinitely better than the first game on almost all fronts. Gameplay, mechanics, aesthetics, lore, etc. There were a few characters I liked better in the first game, and that's it.

MOBAs bore me as a whole. I've never found an entire genre of games unappealing before they got popular.

And since we're on the Pokemon forum... Bianca and Cheren are painfully boring characters and the worst rivals in the series.



2. Call of Duty is actually a decent series, it's just the community that sucks ass (Its fanbase is made up of 10 year old wannabe thugs and 20 something dudebros that refuse to play anything that isn't COD or Madden, because it's "nerdy crap")
Mostly agree here. While it's undeniable that at least some games in the series are rehash (or don't do enough to differentiate themselves from the last game, at least), they aren't that bad. What is bad is, like you said, the fanbase. Every "gamer" in my town refuses to broaden their horizons past CoD because the other games are "too unrealistic"

>realism
>vidya games

Pick one or the other.

I'm just sad that CoD has "stolen" almost the entire Halo community. Hard to enjoy the games without anyone to play them with, y'know?

This is a tough one to agree with it's every four years man , four years is a long time and most of these countries are poor and the only sport they play is futball/soccer. In that particular moment the world comes together forgetting their worries and misery if only for a moment.

I was just thinking about this I don't even know if it even counts but whatever public showers should be band forever. After working out people need to take showers at home, I am really sick and tired of old dudes walking around in the locker rooms with their stuff all in the open as matter affect all dudes in general. Really who made this become normal it is not ok. Look, the last straw for me was when I just wanted to use the restroom and I find a guy drying his stuff on the hand dryer or blower or what ever it is called to dry your hand not other parts of your body. I had walk right back out.

Well, that is what this thread is for. Unpopular opinions.

I have many friends who are crazy over the World Cup. They bet a lot of money on teams and ended up losing more than they should. They ended up borrowing money from all sources possible (yes, including me). I find it absolutely pathetic.

I understand that the World Cup happens every 4 years and it is indeed a very "special" occasion, but I find it an empty celebration. From firms deliberately overcharging more and more for subscription to frauds/cheats after the World Cup season.

From that angle I am going to just have to agree with you as I don't believe in betting. I guess when you love something so much it is hard to see the dark side of things. I can only imagine how bad it was if they betted for Spain.

1. Sports are incredibly boring to watch. All of them. And that includes e-sports like League of Legends. I'd rather do it myself than watch someone else do it. I might watch them from time to time, but it's not out of interest or a desire for entertainment.

2. I'm more or less gay and.... I HATE GLEE. Sorry not sorry, but I never jumped on that bandwagon. Having a gay character in a series doesn't automatically make me like it. Especially when the character has no substance like ever other character in the show.

3. Pro-choice. I don't believe an unborn fetus counts as a life--no matter how you cut it--and therefore the right to abortion should be withheld for all women. If they were to count as a life at this point, then it would only stand to reason that other benefits are provided to them as well. And they aren't.

There's probably a lot more, but they apparently aren't too outrageous if I can't think of them off the top of my head.

5. I think Microsoft is actually a very respectable company.
At least I'm not the only one. And I'm not even an Xbox fangirl (never played one lol).

I have a lot of "unpopular opinions" but here's the less debatable ones:

-Smoking pot has its risks, but that in of itself does not deny its right to be legal. No, I'm not one of the pot smokers who believes that it's always good and everyone should be doing it, and I'm not one of the crazy uber conservative people who think it's sucking their kids away. No.
-Murkrow is the best pokemon and if you think otherwise then you just haven't been enlightened yet.
-Pigeons aren't gross. Actually, they're kind of cute.
-Tales of Symphonia PISSED ME THE RIGHT HELL OFF. It started off as a competent game in most of the first disc, but as the game goes on, it degrades in quality fairly quickly. I wouldn't say it's the worst game ever made, but it is extremely tedious, the story is either extremely predictable or encounters completely nonsense scenes, poor level design, repetitive gameplay, irritating voice acting and completely shoehorned pity-characters. It's cool if this is your cup of tea but I absolutely cannot stand that game.

I laugh at home shopping infomercials on TV, aka the ones that show you the offer and then displays the number you have to call on the screen.

I admit to not liking Christopher Nolan's movies because they are "overrated", yet I did like Inception.

I'm a fan of political satire, and I actually enjoy it happening a lot in Australia because of our "toxic" government.

Heavy metal is the worst music genre, the vocals are nothing but screaming.

I never played a Nuzlocke challenge, but I enjoy watching them on YouTube.

I laugh at comments on Tumblr that are about attractive celebrities. Especially ones that can pull off a killer smile.

Some of these only apply to PC

I think "user themes" are pretty stupid, and annoying (sorry guys :/)

I really do not like anime (I used to)(also, some exceptions, of course) because I think characters are usually overreacting to everything, and more stuff.

I dislike anime fan bases more than anime itself.

I find my little pony to be extremely stupid, and do not see why people older than 12 watch it (inb4 says the 14 year old)

I really dislike a lot of people in pokemon showdown, especially the ones constantly in the lobby.

I think the hack dark rising sucks (sorry DRG)

Most pop/modern music sucks.

The Harry Potter series sucks.

(I'm a pretty negative person, aren't I? lol)

I'm a huge freaking weeb and I have no shame of it.
I still don't like Nicki Minaj's music at all.
I still don't like Beyoncé's music either.
Britney Spears is a queen.
Elliot Reid on Scrubs is the most obnoxious organism on the entire planet. J.D. kind of entered her league of obnoxiousness in the later seasons, too.
I hate sleeping in late. I'd wake up at 6 AM every day if I had the willpower.

I dunno if any of those are particularly unpopular, but they seem to be from the people I talk to and interact with.

I think american football is dumb.
Bacon is disgusting.
I like syrup on my eggs and sausage.
I like to drink a combo of Dr. Pepper and Mt. Dew ... which I call Dr. Dew
I've never playing any Zelda games.
I believe Gen III Pkmn games > all other Pkmn games ... period.
Jennifer Lawrence is one of the ugliest actresses ever (but due to The Fappening, I know her body is decent)
I don't mind paying for people to help me with hacking and wish PC would allow me to openly recruit for help via payment.
I think credits for images are appropriate to at least credit the author for their stuff that you use, but there is no such thing as "private images" like tiles. Once you post something to the internet, it's too late and people are going to redistribute it and use it. Just take The Fappening into example. JLaw didn't want her pictures out there, but they are and what can she do? Now since this legitimately is breaking a law she can try and get them taken down, however using tiles from the open source of internet for a hack that you're not getting money from anyways .. that's not illegal or rude in my opinion as long as you credit the author and even try to get permission, but not always necessary.
If it's not Rock music, I probably hate it.
I think the legal sex age should be 16 for everyone in US.

Gaming unpopular opinions:

1. I liked the ending to Mass Effect 3
2. I think all the people who complained about the ending of Mass Effect 3 as though it was the worst thing in gaming are idiots
3. I liked Dragon Age 2 more than Origins because mute protagonists are the worst.

-Pigeons aren't gross. Actually, they're kind of cute.
Me too, I love pigeons. They're so cute when they slip around on tiles at train stations, I wanna hug them!

When I was 10 I managed to get a hold of an injured pigeon and would have kept it for a pet if my parents didn't intervene.
