Post your unpopular opinions

I've got another one: Although Tara Strong is a great voice-actress, I'm now sort of have very mixed feelings about her as a person, judging by the way we met last November.

She pole danced in one of those house wives of orange county specials.

Thirdly, stop trying to argue just to argue. I posted that a few days ago, bro, and you've admitted to me yourself you say things "for the sake of discussion" or whatever.

 

What does the post date have to do with anything? And how am I "arguing just to argue"? You said something that I find to be baseless and I asked for any kind of proof. That's trying to understand why you think that way, not "arguing just to argue".

 

 

This is a thread where controversial opinions people might not like will be posted, it's in the title of the topic. Don't go around trying to argue with every one of them you don't agree with, because the opinions are relegated to here for a reason.

 

Nowhere does it state that I can't ask for a reasoning behind an opinion in this thread. And I'm obviously not trying to argue with nearly every opinion I disagree with. If I did my post would be pages long.

Yes because studies have been done as to the validity and sincerity of Brony Culture, as if people would actually admit to being "fake" fans to begin with. lol.

 

Well obviously yeah lol, but I didn't necessarily mean proof like that. Just some kind of reasoning really or basis for such a statement.

Well, I gave you my reasoning in the parts of my response you didn't quote. It's based off of what I see with the majority of her fans I've come across; never said all, never said fact, just said I get that feeling with most of them.

[Guest90210 3,567]

First off, I'm going by what I see around me, and I won't call anyone out because I'm not a dick like that.

 

Second off, I never claimed it to be fact, I just said what I saw. Some of my best friends are RD fans.

 

Ah, some of your friends are RD fans and apparently some of those friends aren't "legit" fans and some people on these forums aren't "legit", therefor a "good portion" of the entire fanbase are not "legit". Yeah, I don't buy it...

Don't put words in my mouth. Never said that about my friends.

 

RD has one of the, if not the, largest fanbases of any pony, and just because I come across someone does NOT mean that they're my friend. I've come across you, and are you my friend? No; and with the large fanbase she has, one is bound to come across plenty of RD fans when they join the fandom.

 

Furthermore, I don't care if you buy it, Rivendare. I don't buy any of what you're saying, personally; just know that this is my opinion, and I'm going to need actual convincing to have it changed rather than "Why do you feel that way? That's baseless." Or some other cop-out argument as such, which, you've given me no reasoning as to how that's "baseless" by the way.

 

Also, I am on other MLP sites than just this forum, by the way, so I'm not just talking about the ones on this forum.

 

I don't hold anything against her fans, I'm just stating my honest opinion.

You are tasked with the burden of proof since you are the original poster, and especially since this is an unpopular opinions thread.

 

With the population of bronies approximetly being 7-12 million according to herdcensus.com, it's baseless to make assumptions of the entire fan base of Rainbow Dash based off certain interactions you've had with a very limited amount of those people.

[M'aiq the Liar 5,804]

I hate the mane 6. They are the most trope filled, by the books characters ever.

I didn't say her whole fan base. Look at my first post.

 

And as for proof, I can't give you anything you'll be satisfied with apparently, given I've said it's just a feeling I've gotten from most of the ones I've come into contact with, and I refuse to directly call anyone out. I'm just saying I've gotten that feel from a majority of the ones I've seen.

 

Also, as long as they're kind to me, I don't care why they're here, I'll be cool with them

I just thought of another one...

 

I thought the Doom movie was good.

[Sig Hoovestrong 838]

America is over rated. Game's in general is gating worse and worse and grandly more boring. Call of Duty is not that great. Starcraft 2 is over rated as RTS. World of Warcraft is gating old just face it. People say that money doesn't buy happiness, they must not never in there life been in poor. I kinda like MLP g1 when i, was a kid. Teenager complain way to much abut school, just you wait, to day you will miss school.

The popularity behind background ponies actually bug the hell out of me. I mean there's nothing wrong with liking the BG ponies but holy shit

[Discordian 6,013]

Here's one that's gotten me into a few arguments:

 

I am never wrong.

 

Allow me to explain:

 

The very idea of having an opinion is that you not only agree with something but believe that you are right in the matter. This doesn't mean you can't accept other people's opinions but one does not inherently believe they are wrong when they take a side.

 

The idea that opinions cannot be right and wrong comes from a factual and objective perspective where "right" proves a fact and "wrong" does not prove a fact.

 

When dealing with a more subjective perspective one should consider that there is a reason that one takes a side, has an opinion and thinks the way they do. This can change but at the time of it's realization an opinion is right because it proves the point of perspective.

 

Thus, whenever someone states an opinion they are right and everyone else is wrong by default. This is different for every person out there.

I find Vynl Scratch to be kind of overrated. She's just a dj who doesn't even appear as much as the other popular background ponies. I do however like the fanon of her and Octavia being roommates. 

[Discordian 6,013]

Oh, another one!

 

"First world problems" is a legit problem. Not everyone has, or ever will, experience some of the worse things out there. We cannot possibly relate our lives to those they do happen to. We've got sympathy and empathy and whatnot but to any person who has one of these "first world problems" they are pretty harmful to the well-being or mental state of that person and you should never discredit someone's pain no matter the scale. Some problems are more easily solved than others but that doesn't change how someone feels about something.

They tend to be popular as you can do more with them, and they are not as directly tied to the main series. Writing about derpy or Dr. Hooves allows alot more creative freedom, as you do not have to constrain them to a already developed character.

Creative freedom, huh? I don't think so.

 

Most background ponies, especially popular ones such as Derpy, Dr. Whooves, Lyra, Vinyl Scratch, etc. already have a universally agreed upon fanon story, and if someone tries to write or think about them differently, they'll be slandered. Examples such as Derpy being the mother of Dinky Hooves, Vinyl and Octavia are a thing, and so on are just set in place because the majority of bronies already agreed on a set story.

It allows alot more creative freedom than lets say....the mane 6. They have established characters, as shown in the show and movie. They are created to act a certain way. And you can challenge the "fandom" idea of an established character, but for the mane 6, or a character that appears frequently in the show you cannot as they have a cannon character archetype, and must and will conform to that archetype.

• Anime over cartoons any day for me.

Cartoons aren't completely gone, there are still some like steven universe.

Rock/Electro/Trance/Heavy Metal are the best genres.

People overreact too much for a show for little girls.

Anime is not just pornographic cartoons, that's a cliche.

[Theshadowmaster235 70]

Oh I just thought of some more

 

Rock and metal are both 1,000 times better than dubstep

 

star wars prequels are better than the original trilogy( one of the reasons being that I hate the rebels )

 

the covenant is better than the UNSC with the exceptions of the storm covenant because I hate halo4 and the non halo4 Spartans because they were the best soldiers the humans had to fight the covenant with and because the pre halo4 master chief was a badass

 

the brotherhood of steel should have retaken helios1 in fallout new vegas

 

the Spartans were better than the romans

 

Xbox 360 and PS2 were both better than PS3, PS4, and Xbox one

 

grownups 2 was a good movie

 

taylor swift sucks

 

one direction sucks

 

xenomorphs are better than predators

 

well that's all for now.

I think "ask" profiles about canon set characters in any series, are the most idiotic things ever.

I agree with all expect the Star Wars one and I do agree somewhat the prequels are good,but Attack of the Clones added nothing to the saga plotline,but I do agree that Original trilogy sucked because I believe that Episode 6 wasn't a good pay off to the trilogy Edited February 13, 2014 by COBLoneWolf

Are you including Octavia in those "popular background ponies" that have appeared more than her? Because I'm pretty sure Octavia has only shown up twice, and Vinyl Scratch has appeared at least twice.
