Alcohol, drugs and smoking: Who would want to be in a stupor that dulls the senses and causes permanent impairment of the brain and body? I’ve known people who have used both alcohol and drugs and the result is terrible. They’re just a shell of their former selves but they believe they are sharper and stronger than ever before. Alcohol, especially the hard stuff, tastes like goat piss (or so I imagine). Drugs are addictive, destructive and expensive. And cigarettes, even the less smelly ones, are not pleasant up close or at a distance. There’s no upside.

Agreed, I don’t like alcohol, drugs, or smoking either.

Tell us what you really think sweetie! :D

 

Twitter and Facebook - both platforms are useless now and have worn out their charm. They're just plastic banana corporate money making propogandized Rissian hacked booboo icky.

Ok that's a lot of hate for this forum brother. Let me tell you the ones that should not be popular and the ones that should. 

1. Marvel absolutely deserves popularity. It came out a long time ago and has amazing characters.

2. Twitter or X is bad, Facebook is not.

3. K-Pop is based on taste, I dont like it either though. 

4. Flappy bird was an early game and prioritized mostly to kids. Anybody could play it, the challenge of getting past your previous score felt good back then.

The Annoying Orange. 

Absolutely agree, I can not stand that little orange shit. Why would someone want to be annoyed?

Frozen.

Like, I've watched both movies. But... I still think it's overhyped. 

Oh, and Elsa.

Elsa is one of my least favorite Disney Princesses. Sure, she's magic. But she's ALSO overhyped. Anna deserves more respect.

So yeah... basically anything Frozen

Kids happened oh and so did "let it go"

Adventure Time. And even more so than that, Regular Show. I made it through a few episodes of Adventure Time, but it took approximately seven seconds before I was resolved to throttle Mordecai and Rigby.

I will respect your opinion but Adventure Time is my favorite cartoon of all time. I have seen Regular Show too btw. Adventure time is sadder more plot driven and still holds the unexpected factor of Regular Show. Just like the anime One Piece, you will have to watch some of it before it becomes a masterpiece. Things that looked stupid in the past start to make sense. 

I am not saying Regular Show is a bad show, hell no, it's a very good show that I give a 9/10.

South Park, I just think it’s really annoying.

I do too honestly, but a lot of shows on adult swim are just annoying.

Rapping.... Or rap music.

 

Never been a fan. I saw the birth of it. It was not instantly popular.

 

I see your point but does that mean you hate the opening to Danny Phantom.

I think you have more of an issue with the popular growth of rap artists. Correct me if I'm wrong.

it's always a shame when a pop thing doesn't land

atm it's the big UK Netflix hit Adolescence.

I quite like the actors... but eh, it's just not for me :( 

as for cartoons, I didn't enjoy Full Metal Alchemist much, even though a lot do.

For games, I didn't like the Witcher (although I don't generally like those types of games, so I don't know why I tried)

Vaping. And I have good reason to feel that way beyond what most people might be aware of. Let's leave it at that.

You picked one of the few adult swim shows I like that still doesn't compare to what comes before it.

Dragon Ball... It's literally just a bunch of muscular men screaming and fighting poorly choreographed fights with intentionally overpowered moves for the entire runtime at this point. I do say though, the memes are good.

Not only that but Dragonball depicts the fights in a totally unrealistic way, even within the context of fiction it is absurd. Do people really expect villains to cooperate and fly with the hero out of a city in order to avoid hurting civilians? sorry, not how that works. I prefer DC's darker depiction of fictional superpowered fights like the Doomsday movie, where Superman takes a brutal beating in order to save the populace from Doomsday, at the cost of his own life. And while there was collateral damage, that is a more realistic expectation of what would happen if two beings with superpowers went at it in a showdown in a fight for justice.

Even in Hasbro's My Little Pony Friendship is Magic when Twilight Sparkle had a DBZ style fight with Tirek in Twilight's Kingdom episode in season 4, the fight started right away, no wasting time with screaming to build up energy or whatever, no WWE style trash talk, they threw down the gauntlet until the fight came to a draw before that deal was made. People complained about that fight still, yeah, but that fight only lasted 2 minutes out of the whole episode. To me, it isn't something worth complaining about and it certainly did not take away from the main point of the show, as it is conceivable that some villains will be impossible to reason with no matter how much of a diplomat you were. Tirek only made that deal with Twilight in a moment of cowardice when he wasn't willing to drag out the fight any longer, and that worked in Twilight's favour, she outsmarted him. The fight could have dragged out a lot longer like a filler episode, but it did not, so it never annoyed me.

Edit: I'm not saying Dragonball is awful, if I thought it was, I would not still have my Dragonball Kai bluray sets, however it is overrated. And a lot of the decisions the heroes make in the show were questionable and when I say questionable, I'm being charitable here, Vegeta hypocritically accuses Goku of being unintelligent, when Vegeta's blunders caused both Perfect Cell and Majin Buu to reach their full power. Vegeta never learned from his mistakes either.

Flat Design in UI. It looks like it was made in MS Paint but with none of the homemade charm. Just compare the look of Windows 7 vs Windows 8. Yuck. :twilightoops:

I could say Windows 11 would be one of the things people would not get why its so popular, however, one thing to consider here, is we don't have a choice.

It's either that or not have updates for the operating system. If we moved over to Linux distros, they have their benefits, but incompatibility with software makes it an unattractive option for many people. I do think there are things in Windows 11 that could be improved upon though, such as memory efficiency, and a more customizable UI.

This is a good one. Along with the popularity of flat and minimalist logos. Like Petco, Pringles, and Best Buy as examples.

To reiterate my point yesterday about Dragonball. In relation to what some other people said about it, screaming and muscles is not the only criticism to make about the show, there are better ones. Bad decisions characters make, like Goku not taking his second year in the hyperbolic time chamber because he did not believe he could handle the training. Relies on his son, when he could have achieved Super Saiyajin 2 himself, and that was shown in the later arcs during the 7 year time skip, he would've reached SSJ2 before SSJ3 in Other World during that time.

in OG Dragonball Goku was written better and to be less of a fool, but in DBZ and onwards his writing got a lot worse, both in and outside of filler. I can forgive the power up schtick to an extent, because they need to rely on their emotions for their transformations to work, it sort of makes sense within the context of saiyajin biology and mysticism in Dragonball fiction, but making the heroes as incompetent as they are, is unforgivable in my book. Fast foward into Dragonball Super beyond Broly movie, why is Frieza still alive? I cannot stand Goku in that timeline or Vegeta, they're both fools who don't even recognize the danger they're up against, they got their comeuppance for their ignorance in Black Frieza arc, but at what price? Frieza has not reformed and continues to be a problem. If Goku had any common sense, he would've asked for Frieza to be reincarnated, like Buu was, eliminating the problem and saving viewers from the monotony of a recurring villain we are sick of seeing.

I agree with what some people said about it earlier, Dragonball certainly does not deserve the popularity it gets.

The Amazing World of Gumball, again, I don’t think it’s bad, but it’s definitely overhyped in my opinion.

You mean greatness right. I see why it was heavily loved though I do admit it is not the best show in the world.

Inside Out, I don’t think it’s bad, but I also don’t think it’s the greatest Pixar movie like everyone else does.

Far from it. But I don't remember inside out ever really being that hyped. The second movie though is amazing.

Something else I don’t get why it’s popular, Squid Game.

May I respectfully ask, have you watched it?

No, but I know what it’s about.

You should...I thought it was all talk before I watched the show. It is a very investing show. I am not usually interested by Korean content. But squid game was a nice suprise and I got to watch it with my mom.

Her and later circus baby got way over sexualized. It was not fun to see, especially if you were just trying to play the game for fun.

Incredibly random yet worthy question.
