Unpopular Opinions

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.

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.

They came from humble beginnings, grew very large through legitimate business practices, achieved success in a thriving technology field, and have their hands in a lot of cool things including many high quality games.


Here's one

I'm okay with a little weight on girls. In fact I prefer it more than not

But, chubby guys are an instant turn off. YEP DOUBLE STANDARD
 
-The original Red, Blue, and Yellow suck compared to modern day Pokemon games
-Furries are a disgusting thing, almost as bad as bronies
-I like Windows 8
 
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.
Halo 3 was the best game ever created.
 
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.

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.

I'm not saying that I disrespect your opinion, I just believe it's a little misinformed and hopefully I can change your mind.

I don't believe it's all just screaming, I believe that one goes to 'screamo' metal (hence the scream in the title). Besides, if you've ever listened to any Metallica at all (not the best, but a metal basic) it's not that difficult to understand most of what James Hetfield is singing. The Master of Puppets album would be a good example of how 'not to scream'. While Metallica is not my favorite by far, I think it can be used as a good basic.

I'm also one of those that believe Metal falls into sub categories, much like Rock and it's classes ex: Elvis, The King of Rock v. AC/DC, Australian Rock Band. Vastly different styles, so it's more Classic Rock v. Modern Rock. I wouldn't expect someone to say "Rock is all shaking your hips and looking smooth" because there is so much style out there that Rock is no longer limited to just one man's style of Rock.

Screaming, to me, is when the lead actually screams and makes horrible noise, or screams a word that becomes so convoluted all you think he's doing is being annoying for the hell of it. That, to me, is screaming. Saying things loudly, while uncouth, is not the same. If I can understand what they're yelling without difficulty, then all is fine and dandy, but screaming will not do.

I don't know if I explained my side very well, as I'm shrugging off the drink and am very tired, but hopefully I can change your opinion to that of of 'screamo is the worst genre ever', which it is.

Keeping on topic, I don't like television, cable, HBO, or any other boobtube creation. I'll watch TV shows when they're on DVD and I'll watch movies, but other than that. . .

man I have no idea what the **** you think screamo is, but this is an actual screamo song. no idea what u r on about matie. PLUS, there's no such thing as 'screamo metal,' you literally just made that up on the spot. screaming and yelling/shouting are two INCREDIBLY different vocal techniques; either of them can be odious when used improperly, and they can both be amazing when used properly.

this is off-topic oops
 
●Sonic Rush, is in fact, a very crappy Sonic game. More so than 06'
●Mario is overused at this point and I don't get the unfair hate CoD gets when Mario does the same thing.
●The sister games for Pokemon are unnecessary. I'm referring to Crystal/Yellow/Emerald/Platinum. They only serve to add a newer legendary and alter like a couple of things, all though Emerald was better about it.
●It is almost insulting, that where I am, being bisexual is trendy. Its more a personal issue but it bothers me that so many people can all of a sudden make a large life decision because its "cool".
 
Warning: massive post incoming

I don't find Insidious scary at all.

I think someone in the thread said something similar, but I really don't care for The Walking Dead at all. There's way too much drama and romance, and not enough action. It's a poor attempt at illiciting "feels" from the Tumblr crowd. There are better zombie-based stories/media out there.

Zombie movies/games as a whole are played out and unoriginal. I cringe when everyone gets a hard-on for the latest four-player co-op zombie game like Dead Island. Why not at least go beyond four players like GoW2 did?

People that use a facecam, play the same new/popular games, and stage or overdo their reactions are a very low-end form of entertainment and really shouldn't be called let's players.

As a guy from Texas, I see no appeal in ketchup. Everyone down here seems to feel the need to smother their food in it to enjoy it.

I can't get into most Sony exclusives like inFAMOUS, TLOU, or Uncharted, but I love Twisted Metal.

You can be good at competitive Pokemon without using standard OU teams.

Despite how much the internet obsesses over them, I don't find Ariana Grande, Scarlett Johansson (but I like her work, namely The Island and The Avengers), or Emma Watson particularly attractive. Not saying they're ugly, just not my thing. Give me Lady Gaga over them any day. <3

I can't enjoy most "classic" NES titles other than Mega Man for some reason.

I liked Star Wars Ep. I. Not as much as the originals, but I still like it.

Yamcha is my favorite Dragon Ball/Z character. He didn't suck, the writers just hated anyone who wasn't a Saiyan in that series.

I see zero appeal in cigarettes. I guess this is unpopular because my entire circle of friends smokes them.

ARTPOP is infinitely better than Bangerz. I don't care that it sold more. You're probably an idiot if you bring record sales into an argument anyway.

Rick Ross' songs can be pretty shallow and insubstantial, but damn does he have some catchy earworms, especially Box Chevy.

Slender was never scary

I did not like the first Super Mario Galaxy game, and I loved Sunshine. I felt that Galaxy was far too easy, even by Mario standards aside from a few select areas. I can't remember a time I died while beating the base game. I liked the sometimes-unforgiving challenge that Sunshine offered, and to be perfectly honest, I miss the voice-acted cutscenes, even if they were on-par with the first Sonic Adventure. Lastly a lot of the levels in Galaxy just felt like a "space level" from another Mario game, and some of them lazily reused environments. I dunno, maybe I was just getting old by the time that game was out.

I love the Halo series. It used to be overrated but it's pretty much niche at this point. Everyone I know prefers CoD, BF, or Killzone over it. It's still a great series and despite what the whiners will tell you, Halo 4 was a fantastic title and was miles better than Reach. I'm kind of glad that it got dropped from the MLG circuit, because I feel that MLG was a big part of what made the community bad.

I hate playing FPS games with a mouse and keyboard. It feels clunky and disorienting, and my hands feel too far apart. Even when I play a shooter on PC, I'll go out of my way to plug in a wired 360 or PS3 controller.

I dislike Adventure Time. I have tried to get into it but I for the life of me cannot see what everyone else sees in it.

I think it's dumb to hate an entire genre of music. Why all the hate towards rap/hip-hop as a whole?

LPs/streams of Minecraft have little to no entertainment value and I hate how every YouTuber ever seems to feel the need to flood their channel with Minecraft videos. I'd rather just play the game.

I can't play 3D Sonic titles where Sonic is the only playable character. Go back to the Adventure style or GTFO.

Beast Wars: Transformers > The original Transformers cartoon. Take off your nostalgia goggles and you might agree.

I liked Dragon Ball GT

I have zero interest in the Final Fantasy series apart from Crystal Chronicles.

I liked the Halle Barry Catwoman movie
 
I'll share;
I think most people who disagree with any current feminist movement is either too focused on, or threatened by, the radical side of things. Yes, we get it "it's not equality if..!", but the extremest in no way define how most contemporary feminists think.

I think Markiplier is extremely attractive oh my god.

The horror genre died with Freddy Krueger; it was not reborn with Blair Witch.

I believe blowing in your cartridge still fixes them.

Computers may be the future, but I think humanity's overall collective intelligence is being reduced every time a person transfers from written hand to typing. Plus fountain pens are statistically proven to increase the size of your penis.

I greatly disapprove the legalization of weed.

David Bowie is the best man who ever graced this worthless planet and we would be nothing if not for Ziggy Stardust.

Being sober is not all it's cracked up to be, but it's better than being black out drunk. I think that's all there is to say on the matter.

Tattoos and piercings are beautiful on you no matter what everyone says. You're perfect with your body mods so **** everyone else.

I'll add more maybe I don't want to be hated though.

Thank you for taking the time to make a sensible, and kind-hearted argument. It really means much to me when you actually take the time to read, respond, and delve into the deeper workings of my postings. I also find the effort of your grammar and speech impeccable! I don't think I've ever met someone who cares about speech as much as you. Bravo, and thank you for pointing out that I have no clue whatsoever about anything at all. I am humbled. I hope you can bring your wonderful insight to the rest of the world! Who knows, you might even make a great politician.


I consider reading is stupendous! Bet there's a word there no one has seen in awhile.

I love thought provocation! I really admire your opinions (kind of creepy, but we'll roll with it).

Alrighty, well I have to disagree on a couple things, unfortunately, and I hope I can gain some perspective as well as provide it. I hope we can hash this out like rational persons, unlike other bootlicks who aren't worth a **** nickel.

First we're going to tackle possibly the strongest of your opinions first: the tattoos. for the most part, I have no issues with the tattoos or the body modification initially, however, when the topic of piercing, maiming, or tattooing the genitalia comes up in conversation, I cringe visibly. being the lecher I am, I like to see things, and It's quite difficult to get excited when I'm staring at a viper's gaping maw, fangs and all, tattooed downtown. Sure, it looks wonderful, the artists did a great job, but I'm not going near that thing if I can see it.

I believe that some body art is actually pretty tasteful, but when you mar the body with a tattoo of this:
[PokeCommunity.com] Unpopular Opinions

I have to question one's judgement. I mean, you at least never have to worry about having to break out your Italian Kitchen and Fine Dining cook book whenever your Italian mother-in-law comes to visit, so that's a plus I guess. . .

Don't get the wrong idea, whoa no! when tattoos are done properly, that can look mighty impressive; but if you have a misspelled word inked on your skin it's down to one of two things: a) you spelled it wrong or b) you picked the wrong artist. And please, please, please do not forget the skinheads and their absolute stupidity in engraving their foreheads with swastikas and other such nonsense in ink. That is when we should draw the line and say tattoos are not for pushing racist beliefs or oppressing others, or at least, that's what I think.

A couple last points: There are tattoos I have seen throughout the years walking around malls, stores, grocery isles, etc. I've seen nearly every sexual act from (use your dirty mind to come up with something) to (again, use your dirty mind to fill in the blanks) depicted in ink on arms, legs, backs, 'tramp stamps'. While not initially a bad idea, you have to remember all the young'uns running around. I wouldn't mind it so much if the kids didn't ask so many bleedin' questions. . . I would also have to include the vulgar dictionary included in said 'bad' tattoo category: "what does ***** mean?" and I'd reply "Well, according to his forehead label, I'd think he was a ******"

Secondly, I've actually used a fountain pen, and I don't think my, ahem, 'girth' has changed at all for the number of years I've actually used one. At the time I thought it was the coolest thing, then I realized I paid too much money for something a tad outdated. Oh well, it was great while it lasted! I am also curious as to your motivation for propagating the 'increase size' issue. . . the more I think of it, the more perverted it gets. . . then I remember that it wasn't me who said it, so I'm putting you on the spot now.

Lastly, Freddy Kruger (technically Nightmare on Elm St. series)
I didn't think it was all too frightening to be honest. I think the Japanese have it down pat when it comes to scaring the pants off of one another. I also believe that the scariest film in history was, and still remains, JAWS. It is the only film I can think of that actually ruined the beaching season for several locations, putting several businesses on the ropes. I have family members who will not even get out on the beach. I think a film like JAWS is truly a 'horror' masterpiece when it kept so many out of the water. Also, Vincent Price is a horror god. His voice is amazing.

Also, David Bowie is amazing, so I don't believe that's an 'unpopular' opinion, haha.

Also, LOST is a terrible show. I saw half an episode once before and wanted to strangle my friend for making me sit through it.

The 1958 Plymouth Fury 4-Door Sedan is an amazing car.

I enjoy eating olives plain.

Perhaps I didn't make myself completely clear. The fact of the matter is that tattoos should always be a decision that requires a lot of though. Common sense should be one's guide when considering a tattoo. But, in my heart I'm an artist, and I believe expression is one of the most powerful things a human can do; and on that alone I support anyone's decision to ink their bodies. The key is to not be ****ing stupid about it. I actually know a young girl who has a lady-woohoo tattooed on her shoulder, and another with an ex's name on her ribcage. These tattoos are motivated by nothing but drunken stupidity and access to daddy's credit card. However, if done mindfully, with thought and precision and a deep sense of meaning.. I will consider it beautiful no matter the subject.

It's not so much the pens that make your penis bigger, but the computers that make it smaller.

Indeed, fountain pens are an expensive hobby and require a lot of maintenance. However, that practice alone is among one of the finest uses of an instrument man kind has ever ventured in both the manufacturing of the pen and what is written with it. It's sad, to me, to see the last vestiges of this art being consumed by every email sent. What I'm talking about isn't just the use of fountain pens, but the construction of words that come from a much more sincere part of one's heart. Plus, is owning and using a fountain pen any more expensive than owning and operating a computer?

Nightmare on Elm Street spanned so many years and impacted so many people, I find it hard to reduce it down to the mere scares it provided. Movies the likes of Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Halloween, Scream, Chucky.. are never going to be replicated again. Contemporary horror films, save a handful of really good ones in the 90s, are pretty much nothing more than plotless anxiety machines with cheap jump scares. Anyone with a video camera can do it, as has been proven countless times before. The worst part is that we're still paying to see them.

I do agree about Jaws though, that **** was amazing.
 
Unpopular opinions:

I think watching sports is stupid. The only time I really cared about it was because they love to zoom in on the guys butts (yes, I totally objectify guys in sports).

I hate watching movies/playing games/reading books with a storyline that try to make everything complicated. It always bores me when a character can't just do something directly instead of stressing out about it.

I don't understand how people can drop a series even if it gets bad. I still read Naruto/Bleach/One Piece/etc. even though I have absolutely 0 care about the series anymore, just because I want to know how it actually ends.

I really hate cliffhangers.

I think people should calm down on relationships. It isn't the end of the world if you're not dating someone.

Gangnam styles was a dumb fad. I'm glad it ended.

Baby blue is an ugly color.

Clowns are not that scary (are people afraid of clowns or was that blown out of porportion?). My mom likes to collect clown stuff (Pictures, toys, dolls. Those things. Not anything like clown suites or wigs) and I never understood how people say they're scary.

Glitter is the devil's soap.
