Post your unpopular opinions

[N.W. 3,619]

I don't think you're being a jerk at all. You're bringing up a tragic reality that we need to come to terms with. 

 

 

 

I love Russia and Eastern Europe too.   But not the Soviet Union, which was basically 70+ years of hell on earth. I support Tsarist Russia, when it was ruled by the House Of Romanov: ...men like Nicholas II and Aleskandr III.

Yes, but as much as it was "Hell on Earth" as you put it, the Soviet Union did a lot not only for Russia, but for the world as well.

-Living improved for many under communist rule when compared to the Czar's 

-Defeated the Nazis ( Many, myself included, believe that they could have alone).

-Started "Space Race" with Sputnik,( We owe much technology we have today due to technology developed during it)

-Other technology to emerge from the Soviet Union(Sloped Armor concept,Active Protection System, many of the first computers were developed in the USSR)

-Democracy at the end of the cold war.

 

 

 

 

 

Only Czar I ever liked was none other than Peter the Great.

Cloppers aren't bad people.

Cloppers are nice people. Most of them.

Cloppers aren't weird.

 

To your surprise most people do think those things about cloppers

 

 

 

- Anime in general is better than MLP

 

Why yes it is much better, I'm not a huge fan of MLP (I still do like it, but just probably not as much as most of the people here), though I do love hanging out in the fandom more than the show itself.

 

 

 

 

 

Lauren Faust, I believe, betrayed us (perhaps that's a little too harsh of a word, I know, but I couldn't find a better synonym) by abandoning the show which we loved and supported her for. She doesn't seem to care much about the show anymore. She even admitted at her panel at Equestria LA that she doesn't watch the new episodes. I know I'm being a jerk by talking about her like this, but I'm tired of people giving her overwhelming amounts of praise, even after she left the show.

 

 

 

She ditched us would of been a better choice of word than betray us. She didn't really betray she just said "fuck it I'm leaving" and ditched everything about MLP.

Western states in the US (ex, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Utah,etc) are better than eastern states. 
 
California is not a good state to live in, nor is Illinois.
 
People who keep saying buy American rustle my jimmies, especially when it comes to cars, my dad has a Toyota, and it was honestly better than the piece of crap car he had last time.
 
HP and Dell are horrible computer companies, same with Alienware, the apple of gaming computers.
 
Instagram and Facebook can go die.
 
Rural areas > Urban areas
 
Ponifying everything is stupid
 
I have not played any of the games along the lines of, such as Sonic, Legend of Zelda, Pokemon, Call of Duty, Halo, or any other games like that.
 
Most anime today is just focused on characters with big boobs.
 
I have tried to read Mangas and seem to not get the hang of it.
 
Finally:
 
Garry Newman is ruining Garry's Mod, period.

- We owe a lot more of scientific advancements to nazis than people like to admit, mostly because the subjects on which their theories were tested were Jews and other prosecuted people during WWII.

- Steve Jobs is a dick. Yet thousands of people still worship him like a god. All he did during his life was take technological inventions like the computer and smartphone, and make it sell, by creating artificial demand and raising the prices. Thankfully for Apple the artificial demand transformed into actual demand, and they can keep selling crappy devices at ridiculous prices.

- The reason why companies haven't massively switched to Linux yet is because they fear the change in the ideological conception of computers in people's minds, which is essentially communist. (And we all know communism is bad)

 

-The day capitalism will die is the day the entropy of the universe destroys us all for good.

 

- Breast cancer awareness, while being a wonderful cause at first, has become a worldwide money-sucking scam. Plus, no money raised from any cancer awareness event went to cancer prevention, ever. Pharmaceutical companies need to SELL a cure, and preventing cancer would be detrimental to their success.

- Lithium Carbonate pills produced by the pharmaceutical companies are useless, or placebos. They rely on the mind thinking your disorder is under control, and make you believe you are not bipolar/schizophrenic while symptoms still appear like they did before. You just no longer associate them to your mental disorder.

 

- The day people stop using "Because this is how the world works" as a reason is the day we will actually get things to change. This keeps up from evolving as a society and as people.

- Age is not authority. The fact you're older than somebody does not give you any right to disregard their opinion as stupid because "Hey, you're just a kid". Doing this does not make you win an argument, it means you are a dick.

[TheLegitDerpyHooves 12]

Being 13 and liking Jazz is fine.

Grape Juice makes me puke.

Minecraft is overrated. (I love it nontheless)

Legend of Zelda is overrated. (I love it nontheless)

Pokemon is overrated (I love it nontheless)

Fat people on scooters piss me off.

 

Hate me or not, this is for unpopular opinions, so dont get mad at me.

[ErBoi 501]

I'm honestly stunned that this is unpopular, and I'm not sure if it's really an opinion since it's partially a factual statement about my own experience, but here goes (I really want to get this off my chest):

The motion controls in The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword are perfectly fine.  I am on my second run through the game, there are times when I am actively trying to get the game to read my motions incorrectly and failing.  The only gesture that ever gives me even the slightest bit of trouble is stabbing, which seems to be read as a short swing about 20% of the time (so 1 in every 5 attempts at a stab gives me a swing instead).

Yet...so many people seem hellbent on complaining that the game's motion detection is dysfunctional.  This has frustrated me to the point that I actually have a capture card ordered and intend to use it in combination with my digital camera to get footage of myself playing the game, and gameplay footage side-by-side so I can have a video demonstrating the accuracy of the controls.

Granted I wanted a capture card anyway and was probably going to get one even if this wasn't a thing.

 

That said, I have noticed less reliable responsiveness from a newer Wii U branded remote than from the gold Wii remote that came with the game.

Liberalism sucks

Socialism sucks

Communism sucks

Whiny food stamp exploiters need to get a life

The higher-class is the only group of people actually sustaining our broken economy(meaning the higher class provides jobs,ect.).

• Eating alone can be quite enjoyable and is sometimes preferable to eating with others.

Driving is stressful and driving any car other than my own is terrifying.

Tea is nothing more than dirty water.

Man, we are so a like. I hate eating with others, I don't know why teenagers are so excited to get a car, but some Teas are quite good.

I may have been too harsh about the tea, but I find water preferable to it 90% of the time.  Although I don't mind a good green tea with milk and honey from time to time.

The government is corrupt, humans are inherintley evil, and rainbow dash is best pony.

How is this? Just voiced random truthes and anything else that popped into my head.

How are those unpopular opinions? In fact, many people would agree 99% to what you just said(RainbowDash is best pony, but not everyone is a brony).

You would be suprized. I have met a LOT of people who would say the opposite of all of it, especially RD being best pony (no matter how obvious that she is). But to each their own. I just think EVERYTHING is flawed, but that's what keeps me sane, flaws make us who we are.

Is opinion a flaw in humanity or is it a defense mechanism against tyranny and an over-ruling government?  I guess we'll have to leave that up to debate.

[Mand'alor Dash 2,224]

Here's some more:

 

 

I'm an extremely hardcore capitalist, but I think Ayn Rand was an idiot.

 

The "Monsanto protection act" is actually going to save a great many lives in the long run.

 

On that note, GMOs in general are completely harmless to humans.

 

Science must never be regulated, and art must never be censored.

 

Conspiracy theorists are scum.

 

Gandhi was overrated.

 

My Little Dashie is terrible.

 

Cupcakes is decent.

 

Katy Perry was excellent up until Wide Awake.

 

Though I personally think Twilight (the movie) sucks hard, I still think people should approach it with an open mind.

 

Michael Bay has made two good movies (Transformers 1 and The Rock), everything else was shit.

 

Halo Reach is not a good game.

 

Halo 4 makes Halo Reach look like Halo 1.

 

I think "racist" jokes are hilarious, and people shouldn't get offended so easily.

 

EileMonty is, by far, the best singer/VA in the entire fandom.

 

New Vegas is slightly better than Fallout 3.

 

Skyrim is meh. Dragon Age is better.

 

Human nature is brash and arrogant. We need to double-check our thought processes before we act on them.

 

Seth MacFarlene is terrible.

 

Erwin Rommel was a great man. Yes, that Erwin Rommel. Look him up. The guy was in on the plot to kill Hitler, for crying out loud.

 

The '80s were the best decade in music.

[Flutterdash. 52]

- I don't really care about Double Rainboom.

- Fan made animations are usually crap

- Walking Dead is overrated

- Baby AJ isn't all that cute

- Coming from a Dashie fan, I actually loved MMDW

- Pitch Perfect is the worst movie ever made in history

- Japanese culture is extremely overrated

- Spitfire is not that attractive

- Neither is Dashie but I only like her for her attitude.

- Most MLP episodes are easily forgettable

[Shift 4,272]

Wait, Spazzy got banned? Was it a perma ban?

• If you ever dare say a Chuck Norris joke to me, besides one that I really like and my friend knows I like, you have lost my respect.
• Complex thinking is nice.
• Crying, worrying, etc is all stupid. It's just a waste of time.
• CoD is ruining younger people's brains. It'll make people think of Violence. I'm not saying 13 year olds shouldn't play it. They're mature enough. Probably only 13-year-olds and really, really, really mature 12 or 11 years olds should play it.
• Our brony community is losing Love and Tolerence. I remember early 2012 bronies. My goodness, those were the great days. We were all about love and tolerence. Now...?

Fluttershy is overrated.

Luna is overrated.

ME3's ending wasn't that bad.

I liked Demo Reel.

I'm not a fan of 6teen, but I don't think that it's a bad show.

I love Canada more than America.

I do not find Slenderman, or anything creeypasta related, that scary.

[An Old Head 4,816]

Some more from me.

• My favourite Zelda game isn't Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask; it's Wind Waker.
• I think Spiderman 3 was actually a really good film.
• I think Gladiator wasn't a good film.
• I think Razer gear is not overrated. They're very good quality, for a very good deal. In no way are they the Apple of gaming peripherals.
• I hate the taste of milk.

Wait, what? I thought that was a popular opinion

 

 

Oh well have some more unpopular opinions from me

 

- Muse are just milking what many other bands have already done in the past, and their singer is NOT the modern version of Freddie Mercury.

- A7X are the worst Metalcore band out there besides Asking Alexandria

- Beats by Dr. Dre aren't good headphones for all sub-genres of electronic music

- Mac Vs. PC is a stupid argument as well as Christianity Vs. Atheism

[RippedOffMattress 314]

• MLP Season 3 is my favourite season so far.

Phineas and Ferb is horrible. I've really yet to see the appeal in it. It just seems like a stereotypical mundane kids show.

I like Fish Hooks. I don't know why, I guess it's just a guilty pleasure.

I like the idea of Twilight becoming an Alicorn. It can put a huge spin on the show and give the writers much more creative ideas. Please be permanent.

I enjoyed the first ACT of Homestuck

I like Tumblr

[Callisto 1,877]

Some music related opinions:

 

The Clash sucks.

 

The Kinks are one of the greatest bands ever.

 

While I love The Beatles, I feel they get more praise than they deserve.

 

Frank Zappa didn't revolutionize anything, and he wasn't funny.

 

80's music gets too much hate.

[Treeboy 418]

Bringing my post back from the dead with a new and more fortified list.

 

• Dubstep is a wonderful genre of music. If people realized that it has a greater history beyond Skrillex ruining the electronic music industry, and didn't count him and his countless clones as being part of dubstep (which they aren't), it would be much less bashed.
• I don't see what's so good about Dream Theater, The Shins, or even The Beatles. They aren't bad bands by any means, but they're by no means the greatest of all time either.
• I like many of the new shows on Cartoon Network (Adventure Time, Regular Show, The Amazing World of Gumball, Chowder) a lot more than some of the 90's classics (Ed, Edd n Eddy is still my bby tho).
• Tim Burton's Batman movies are much better than the Christopher Nolan ones. Nolan's movies just seem too real and not comic-booky enough; in addition, both the Tumbler and the Bat were overkill replacements for the Batmobile, and also... Christian Bale's Batman voice kind of speaks for itself. Heath Ledger's Joker was spectacular, but that didn't save the trilogy from ultimately falling flat to Burton's duology.
• I'm pro-choice.
• I don't trust many of my peers with the future of this planet (at least here in the States).
• Android > iOS
• I wish everyone would shut up with all this "still better than Justin Bieber (or any other artist that it's cool to hate on)" crap. I don't enjoy them either, but it's not like Nicki Minaj and One Direction and all the rest of the groups and artists at the subject of these memes are SUPPOSED to be musical geniuses. They're entertainers first, musicians second or third.
• Same goes for "swag." No one really uses "swag" in a non-ironic fashion anyway, and your implications of the opposite don't help things very much.

Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask are my favorites lol xP

 

Wind Waker is definitely my third favorite though, it's a really great game.

 

 

 

 

- A7X are the worst Metalcore band out there
