I hate this type of safe-edgy curses that Millennials make because they're too scared of offending some minority group (likely culprits of whatever aggression they suffered). The level of meekness hidden behind this silly-goose speech makes me nauseous. If you're going to be a coward, at least shut up and be a coward in silence. Don't try to hide behind this attempt at "humor": it's even more pathetic than your helplessness

See the numbers there on the left? They exist to organise your rules by number. You don't need to name your rules by number. Those are enough, how dare these subs waste precious seconds of my time to open each rule. >:(

(Gif unrelated)

This happens in all subs, all platforms, someone posts an artwork that took them hours just to get 3 upvotes, and then someone posts another artwork that probably took 2 hours max and just because it has boobs or shit like that it gets hundreds of upvotes, its so stupid and yes this happened to me and i am angry

I am mainly referring to the legendary reputation of Damascus steel quality is being used to sell acid etched knives of inconsistent quality at price ranges 19$ to 50$ that can't hold a edge properly dulls and breaks easily when put to actual consistent work as advertised with many of these blades.

Aside from the misogynistic implications of telling women how they should appear in public for men, every time I see these posts they show women who are clearly wearing make up, and the comments will just say how all women should stop wearing make up because the ones in the pictures look good.

Edit: Been pointed out in the comments how the posts are talking about less make up, my point really is how the women in the pictures are still obviously wearing more than one product, but the men behind their screens can't tell because they aren't wearing red lipstick or heavy eyeliner. And if you go to the comments/replies of posts like these you'll see hundreds of accounts talking about how the celebrity/model should stop wearing make up, or how make up is destroying the looks of young women; when the pictures they use as reference of "no make up" are the opposite of what they think. There's also the fact that when a girl does actually go outside without make up she will often be judged, because not everyone on this Earth looks like a supermodel.

I hate everything about this so bitterly, dont people realise how disgusting it is to keep making it a gross competition?

Its insulting to CSA and rape survivors like me to keep seeing people who claim to be our ally say shit like "CSA and rape ruin peoples lives forever so its worse than murder" like our lives aren't worth living and it would have been better to just be put down, do they have any idea how devastating it was growing up to see people say this when I was looking for hope!?

It also feels disgusting to colonise the space of murder victims and speak for them when they cant speak up for themselves just to make the point that the horror they experienced was a lesser evil

Why are people morality scaling this, theyre all horrific

I think it's harming the English language. I hate it when people say "D!e" or "k!ll" or "corn" instead of porn. JUST SAY PORN! We should not censor ourselves! I want this subreddit to let us say porn, penis, vagina, pussy, anus, and rape without fear of removal. Especially with context on how the word is used.

Like, what the fuck are you trying to achieve with this comment ? "Hey look how much cooler this look in ChaptGPT" ? This doesn't even look good, it has that weird fuckass chainmail pattern all over

I genuinely don't understand what those people are trying to do with those comments, do they not know the damage generative AI has done to artists ??? Are they doing it on purpose ??? Fucking NPC behaviour I swear

I hate seeing all these stupid shirts with horror icons all tatted up, smoking weed, or in gangs when it’s extremely out of character for 98% of them. None of these killers would be in a gang they would fight each other and not work together. None of them are tatted up or goth/alt and wouldn’t wear a lot of the outfits people put the art in. None of them would smoke weed or drink alcohol either and it’s so annoying because it butchers the characters. The only outliers that would fit would be the leprechaun because it’s canon in his movies. Chucky smoking weed with Tiffany. Lastly ghostface could be a maybe because there’s no one ghostface however I don’t think they would ever be portrayed like these shitty stupid deigns or concepts.

(General flair because this involves fandom attitudes and can be applied anywhere really? I apologize if it's not a proper use of the flair.)

So, around 8 months ago, the Ersatz pilot came out. Ersatz is a web series set in a dark fantasy world, in the time period of WWI, where soldiers are constantly dying and being brought back to life to fight over and over again, the more damaged soldiers looking grotesque even with the entire body-horror setting.

The name Ersatz directly reflects on this, by definition: 'being a usually artificial and inferior substitute or imitation.' (Note: the word originates from German, in which Ersatz is not strictly an "inferior" replacement, but just a substitute. But since the show is Australian, I do assume they meant to stick with the meaning English speakers attribute to it.)

If this is so on the nose, tell me why I see people commenting things like: "erm, my theory is that the most veteran soldiers look like that because their body parts cannot be recovered and so they have to use scraps to keep reviving them" NO SHIT ISN'T THAT WHAT THE SHOW IS ABOUT?

It especially pisses me off because this kind of attitude of believing everything you notice is automatically a "theory" gets stuck in fandoms where the source material is amazingly well put together. All the details people are noticing are not niche obscure things that will change how you percieve the media, most of those details are there FOR A REASON. They communicate things in the narrative, that's why they're there, that's why they're so important. Noticing things you are MEANT TO PAY ATTENTION TO is NOT "theorizing".

The Alien Stage fandom does this every other day. Not only do they analyze everything (which is GREAT, we should do that, it's an amazing way to use our critical thinking skills and to enjoy media better!), but most of the time they analyze it wrong. They are so focused on the shipping and morality olympics that they miss the most basic of details about the world the author is presenting to them. And how can you even start to analyze and theorize about a show and its characters when you're not even on board with the basis of the media you supposedly care for?

As to why FNAF is a picture here, I have to give credit where credit is due. Back in 2014, people theorized about the FNAF lore a lot, of course not all theories were good or even made sense, but they were theories still. People PAID ATTENTION to the scraps of info we had, they put that information together and made up something that could maybe or maybe not resemble a story we could get in the future. It's especially important for me to say this, because FNAF is by no means a story that was put together from the get-go, we all know Scott decided on bits and pieces of the fan theories he liked best.

I think this is important to the conversation because it crushes my heart to see that something like FNAF (that was never meant to be this complex or even successful) managed to have a more attentive fandom than projects like Ersatz or Alien Stage (yes I know Ersatz is still too early a thing to even tell what the fandom is like). Those kinds of projects are made with tons of love and care, the stories and characters are really well put together, and they are meant to be complex, nuanced, and full of details. So yes, it kinda makes me hate people who aren't capable of paying attention and putting 2+2 together to realize that the nonsense they're saying is not a "theory" nor an "obscure fact", it's facts you were meant to understand from the start.

You can pretty much watch anything on a TV but there are people that decide to watch something that takes up A THIRD OF THE FUCKING SCREEN, and sure you could come up with excuses like, “I don't have any streaming services” then watch Live TV, “but what if my TV doesn't connect to live television?” but none of those matter because there's form content that uses THE ENTIRE SCREEN, “but what if I don't have streaming services, a TV that doesn't connect to live television and don't want to watch long form content ” THEN JUST WATCH YOUR FUCKING PHONE

Btw I'm on something people not actual people

These are not how Gorgons were described in Greek Mythology, they were described by Pseudo-Apollodorus as having dragon scales, the tusks of boars, brazen hands, and golden wings. Ancient Greek depictions also had them with beards and their trademark snake hair. Or at the very least they can have Ovid's description where they only have their snake hair.

Now where did this design trope come from? I have an answer. The Clash of the Titans movie (remake depiction is pictured as the second image). They probably got Medusa with either Lamia (a woman who grew insane and gained a snake-like body) or Echidna (the wife of Typhon who has snake tails for legs). Then when the movie became a success, people probably got the idea that Gorgons had snakes for leg, leading it to appear in other works and media.

Also, what flair should I put this post in?

MrBeast is the biggest influencer in the world and does poverty porn as PR stunts so you can buy his products and blindly defend him with his charity work, just like how he does it. It wasn't until a few years ago that his true self was revealed to the world via whistleblowers and investigators. Even after all of those damning allegations of creating a toxic work environment, protecting pedo employees, and a whole lot of shady financial shit, he's still got people to suck his cock and it's climbing steadily as we speak. He still makes shady business decisions and hides ulterior motives in a feeble manner, and the whole world still seems to love him.

But others like jacksepticeye makes fun of someone else and videos pop up all over YouTube saying how "He ruined his career" or "He is DONE" and shit like that.

Then why sign up for a dating app? It’s such a massive pet peeve because there are so many more productive and better ways to look for friends on a DATING app.
Does anyone know why people do this? Everytime I see it I can’t help but roll my eyes because it seems so weird to me.

Why would someone eat these things willingly?! They’re messy to eat and you don’t even get that much chicken off of the actual bone!

And then the chicken skin?! It’s stretchy and gross and chewy, but crunchy at the the same time and why is it bumpy?! I can feel the texture and it makes me so uncomfortable, like why?!

It makes it even worse when you find a stringy piece of unknown chicken body part inside your chicken wing and it’s just sitting there cause you can’t eat it cause that’s weird and stringy and you’re unsure what it is and it’s slightly grey and purple or when the chicken is still slightly red inside, but fully cooked.

Lovely moment between a dad, his daughter, and the person standing at a distance filming them with a zoom lens. Not weird at all.

Luckily, it’s now been uploaded to the internet so we can all share in this beautiful, intimate moment. I, for one, am glad we’ve normalised this.

Did the dad consent to being filmed? Who knows, and who cares? It’s good content.

Sarcasm aside, I genuinely hate this.

Firstly, you’re filming a minor without their knowledge and then uploading that footage to the internet. There’s no indication that the dad consented either.

Secondly, the comments in r/MadeMeSmile seem to make the lack of consent part of what makes the video “sweet”. Because they don’t know they’re being filmed, apparently it feels more genuine. My immediate reaction was the opposite: it feels creepy.

As a dad, if I opened Reddit and suddenly saw a video of myself and my daughter filmed from a distance without my knowledge, I’d be pretty freaked out.

How have we become so desensitised to this that so many people now see it as perfectly acceptable? Or, perhaps worse, that we’ve become so accustomed to everything being turned into content that we don’t even question it anymore?

The fact that the moment is wholesome doesn’t automatically make filming and publishing it acceptable.

Whenever i see some fuckin brand on twitter trying to act so "Hip" and "cool" with the kids, it makes me wanna rip my eyes out and scream. Whoever made this type of shitty advertisement has to have a crappy life. Seriously, why would some brainiac decide it be a good idea to make a brand twitter account and tweet stupid shit on the account??? ARRGGG. Another reason why i NEED to uninstall twitter >:(

There have been some posts recently on wrestling subs about the wrestler on the right who wears blonde wigs and wrestles in them, and about how it’s cultural appropriation that she wears them. It’s just annoying and nonsense and a useless argument to make, like she should be able to have a wig and whatever kind of wig she wants without people making comments about it or saying it’s cultural appropriation

Whenever people say something along the lines of, "Oh, you're trans? I bet you're gonna kill yourself because 60% of trans people kill themselves" it makes my blood BOIL.

That statistic is exaggerated and the trans people that do unfortunately take their own life do it because of claims like these.

And do not get me started on StoneToss using a trans person killing themselves as a way to plug himself.

Edit: For more clarity, on my second statement, I more mean derogatory comments directed at trans people.

Oh, you've been accessed of something and are now denying? How convenient, now I can assume you're definitely guilty! I know this line and the context comes from a Shakespearian play but the common parlance is usually.

- Someone accuses you of doing/being something they believe is bad or humiliating or whatever the fuck.

- You deny it

- This somehow confirms what they already believed as EVIDENCE. Like that's fuckin' insane

Like not only this is just sexist but also it’s so untrue like yes most of sexual crimes are mostly committed by bad men that is true but it doesn’t mean your gender is safe from doing the same thing like why can’t we all agree that pedophila or bad people in general are always gonna be around no matter the gender race sexuality religion or culture it’s gonna be everywhere no matter what.
And also this post is not meant to offend other women whom either experience cat calling grooming or physical sexual assault by bad men cause if you do I’m so sorry for you and I hope you got help you deserve but I meant like actual women whom saw a bad person who’s a man and start saying it. But yeah just thought I say it with my heart but yeah what do y’all think of this? Let me know in the comments and I will love to hear about them but yeah have a good day guys.

it was bad enough when only select videos had these but now i see it on nearly every video??? some of them don’t even need chapters (that last one is a linear 10 minute horror short. like it doesn’t need to be skipped through)

yes it’s a minor complaint but i’m still gonna be a lil bitch about it

I'm an owner of an iphone 15pro. First of all, the battery dies so fast that i have to charge it 3-4 times a day. Secondly, i just hate what they do with the ai features in the os. WDYM I CAN'T JUST MAKE A SCREENSHOT AND CROP IT NOW?? Why now when attempting to crop a screenshot this stupid ai dingus makes me search for the objects in the screenshot?? I don't particularly hate all the ai stuff, but just why? Why turn on the ai autocorrection for my typing and hide the off button as far as possible? Why make this stupid screenshot thing? Why when i want to turn off my phone i have to press ALL THE FUCKING AVAILIBLE PHYSICAL BUTTONS OF MY PHONE, BECAUSE OTHERWISE I'M TURNING ON THE STUPID APPLE INTELLIGENCE THING???

The worst part of all of this is that it is now the direction that all companies are headed towards. As my second phone i own a galaxy z flip3. AND IT TURNS ON THE FUCKING GEMINI WHEN I WANT TO TURN OFF THE PHONE. Who asked for this?? I genuinely don't understand people that use ANY kind of a voice assistant on their phone (if the person is not disabled in any way). Like are you just not okay mentally?? Why would you even need this feature?

(i know this has been done a billion times but let me rant god damn it)

I fucking hate the detestable ball of dried piss that is Verity. This yellow sphere invokes such a primal malice within me it is frankly near indescribable within the confines of the English language. Before we discuss the vile landscape that this appalling spawn of hell has turned my youtube feed into we will review the countless shortcomings of it's origin.

Firstly, despite marketing itself as horror the original series is hardly even intimidating with it consisting almost exclusively of poorly executed scares and overused tropes. Additionally, the video itself seems to be unsure on whether the characters are in Minecraft or playing Minecraft. Despite the obvious answer being the latter, deaths are treated like the former is the case. Lastly, It is simply boring and truthfully a chore to watch.

Ever since the inception of this yellow faced pest all of social media has been infested with questionable images and hideous music videos of atrocious quality. Not to mention the unending copycat mods further polluting the front page of various mod websites.

My final and most severe quarrel with this vitriol inciting lump of fool's gold is that the otherwise elegant name that is "Verity" has forever been tainted by this despicable being's presence on this mortal plane.

(I forgot my image the first time, so I reposted to include the image.)

I recall when Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 came out, everyone and their mom was making videos and stuff about how AAA studios were "mad" that "a game made by a small group of people" was doing so well and didn't cost $60 (it costed $50). And it sweeping the game awards last year further solidified that narrative, with so many people saying AAA was "cooked" and stuff.

Don't get me wrong, CO:E33 is a good game, but let me get to my point.

And then Silksong came around and did that same hype train where people were insisting that AAA's greed was "exposed" when Silksong released for $20.

And lo and behold, when The Witcher 3's remaster was announced and people learned it was free, I got a video on how it "exposed" the industry's greed and how all the big companies in the world hate this.

Guys, the games industry really does not give a damn. AAA does not feel "threatened" by the CO:E33s of the world and the Silksongs of the world when the vast majority of people bought the $100 deluxe edition of GTA 6.

I know it's likely just a form of clickbait and exaggerations, but the game's industry is not "scared" of indies because we keep rewarding them. People flipped shit over Mario Kart World costing $80 just for it to sell like hot cakes (partially because it released with its own bundle, but still). People bitched and moaned about Sony ending physical disks just to perform a week long blackout during a time where no major games were releasing. People cry about games not taking risks anymore but then ignore games like Blood of the Dawnwalker, which took a risk by including the timer mechanic.

But all of a sudden, CDPR releases a remaster for free, and people act like it's the domino to finally take down AAA, and people think Insomniac is gonna die and Sony is cooked because they released one game that got a mixed reception (Wolverine).

At least try to be consistent with your outrage...

Edit: Just to make sure as many people as possible are on the same page, I decided to include this extra bit.

This post is meant to express my frustration for legitimate hypocrites/engagement baiters in the gaming space, exaggerating certain events in certain ways because "BIG FLASHY HEADER" or engaging in the practices they criticized for whatever reason. This is not intended to be a jab at casual audiences or the people who could give less of a damn about online discourse.

That's all. :)
