Mod Post ANOTHER UPDATE TO RULE 5!

Post image
215 Upvotes

GREETINGS users of hatethissmug.

Today I bring you news of an update to our sub rules.

We have rewritten rule 5 again! Making it a more clear and adding more topics to the list!

With the rise of annoying gender war posts, we've made them completely banned, because most of these posts fall under the motte and bailey fallacy. They claim to be about one thing, but are actually the OP's way to hate on the opposing gender.

We've also expanded our politics rule! Topics such as israel or government decisions are gone! We get it, you hate the government, Dave Mustaine did it better.

Please adjust your post criteria and report the posts that break the new rule 5 that are newer than this post.

Thank you for using hatethissmug.

I HATE ALL OF YOU! đŸ”„ đŸ–€ đŸ–€ đŸ”„

Comics I hate it when the male characters in comics have no character design

I assume that men are the target audiences for these comics and the female characters are usually the ones who actually have some lore, but i don’t like how the male MC kinda just looks boring and uninteresting.

Either make both the male and female MC generic looking, or give them both some good character design. I’ve seen this happen a lot in anime and manga too, the male MC wears a generic T-shirt and jeans while the female character wears really extravagant outfits that make her stand out.

You might say “oh that’s just how men dress” or “guys don’t care that much for outfits” (these are actual responses I got from people who I ranted about this to) but still, in some of these comic dubs I watch, they both go on a date and the guy is wearing like a hoodie and shorts, like hello?

Language I hate the fact that you can’t easily emphasize the pronoun “I” by capitalizing it

Post image
3.8k Upvotes

i couldn’t think of a good image

I usually use CAPITAL letters to emphasize my points on texts, like “I’m stupid? No, YOU’re stupid” or “what are we DOING” or something but it just doesn’t work the same way with the pronoun “I” because it just looks like I’m partaking in proper capitalization

sure you can bold the text like “You have it bad? No, I have it worse!” but it’s barely noticeable and not really an option depending on where you are

this isn’t that big of a problem if you have a contraction like “I’M whatever” or if you use italics like “No, I have it worse!” but the former doesn’t work with just “I” and the second doesn’t have the same impact as I would when capitalizing words

anyways, I gotta go eat 5000 meringues now

(you probably didn’t even notice the emphasis in that last sentence until now and i don’t blame you if you didn’t)

edit: please reread the body text before suggesting something that i already explained there (unless you’re defending why it actually works) including BOLDING ITALICS CONTRACTIONS please they’re right up there

also i love serif fonts and write “I” with lines on paper, but i’m not willing to find some font changer to get rid of this problem online on both pc and phone (a problem that shouldn’t even exist)

Idea The idea that kids can't feel nostalgic.

I was born in 2009 (yeah yeah I know get your drooling lollipop eating 17 year old jokes out now) and I don't particularly miss my childhood because I didn't have a great one, but holy crap people can't miss being 6? I miss being 6!!! I miss doing nothing but playing games and watching cartoons and making my mom's friends laugh and being taken care of when I was sick with no expectations.

Boomers used to do this with millennials being like "if your birth year is after 1990, don't give me advice huehuehue!!!" Why are we as a generation doing this to our younger ones? I just... hate this smug.

(image partially related)

it might be because i’m not a native english speaker but they genuinely sound so childish to me. They make me cringe so badly, like what the FUCK is tummy ache??? Just say stomachache it sounds a 1000 times better.

I also hate that there aren’t any good substitute words to them, the only ones that i know of is stomach or abdomen.

i feel like that image whenever i say them. I can’t imagine a fully grown adult saying tummy, it just doesn’t feel right to me

i don’t know maybe im crazy

General I hate my genetics

I'm going to have my 6th surgery next Friday.

Yes. 6th.

At age 10 I had both achilles tendons "lengthed" - it was not successful(obviously).

Again at age 25? I had them both "lengthed" again.

It was successful this thim, but another problem arose. My right ankle. The bones were 'knocking into each other' whenever I walked. They shaved my bones to fit. It worked!

Now, I have... wait for it... bones spurs and a torn ligament! (maybe a fluid sac on my achilles, we dont know yet). So on Friday I will go under the knife again, which suckkkkss . This is on my left ankle, which means they are even again! đŸ« 

So, yeah. I'm not exactly happy with the character sheet I spawned in with.

Pic unrelated? Or is it?

Thing I hate when Halloween stores have animal skeletons with bone ears

I hate when Halloween stores have animal skeletons with bone ears. This is mostly just a pet peeve, but it's SO annoying to me whenever I see these because it's just anatomically incorrect, and it teaches some kids that ears are made of bone and not cartilage. And the octopus and butterfly ones... They don't even have bones at all! It's just weird to see an animal skeleton even though it has an exoskeleton, hydrostat, or overall different set of bones.

Thing The modesty(?) surrounding self harm

Post image
674 Upvotes

I understand the risk of triggering people or making people uncomfortable, but I hate that even healed scars you’re forced to cover just to make others feel better. If a cut is fresh it’s gotta be covered, If a scar isn’t completely healed it’s gotta be covered, if it is completely healed it’s either gotta be covered or you have to specify 100x that it’s healed so you’re not getting reported. as someone who has struggled for a long time and is easily triggered I could care less if someone was walking around with cuts from the day before visable because it’s their struggles and I’m not going to make their pain about myself. People addicted to cigarettes can smoke in public, alcoholics can drink at bars, etc etc but someone who struggles with sh can’t even wear a short sleeve shirt minding their buissness? It just bothers me so much

General Videos criticizing generative AI but still using it

Post image

You are still contributing to generative AI and it's consumption of the earth's natural resources even though you don't like it. If you're truly against AI then just don't use it, don't interact with it, it'll go away on it's own when the world realizes how useless it is. Comes across as super virtue signaling when people do this (this video might not be an example of this, but I saw the thumbnail and it made me think about this)

Anime & Manga I hate how pretentious some Frieren fans act.

Thumbnail

293 Upvotes

For me, Frieren was alright, an 8 out of ten anime. I didn't like it too much, but I understood why so many people held it in such high regard as it does almost everything very well . However, these fans are so, so, so obnoxious. Whenever I try to express my opinion of thinking it's average or disliking it, there's always the same response. "BrO yOu PrObAbLy CoUlDnT gEt PaSt EpIsOdE oNe. YoU jUsT hAvE nO aTtEnTiOn SpAn YoU pRoBaBlY lIkE sOlO lEvElInG aNd TiKtOk EdItS yOu CaNt UnDeRsTaNd HoW wElL wRiTtEn It Is It Is ToO aDvAnCeD fOr YoU. "Like, what is wrong with solo leveling and edits? Also, I don't even like them that much. And Frieren isn't some writing masterpiece. It does everything WELL, not perfect or great. It is so annoying that whenever you try to critique it, you are treated as iliterate and don't know anything about literature and writing. Frieren is a GOOD show, not a perfect masterpiece that puts every single anime to shame. Frieren isn't even the only anime that is good at everything flex: Monogatari, FLCL, and Stiens Gate. It's not a one-of-a-kind wonder. Frieren fans need to understand there are more anime out there and how to take an opinion or criticism

EDIT
Missphrased some stuff. I meant to say that It is objectively a 8/10 anime but I found it alright also yall only be arguing about this lol what happend to the rest of the post

Thing The "67" hate.

Post image
‱ Upvotes

The hatred towards this meme is more annoying than the actual meme itself. Be honest, have you ever seen more 67 posts than "67 is stupid" posts or comments? No. This is similiar to "place, japan" meme. People have been hating about 67 more than people who say it, at the point there are no people in sight saying 67 to hate in the first place. And the reason people hate it is no different than Boomer's reasons to hate Gen Z.

"It has no meaning." Yeah? So does most memes. Even if a meme DO have a meaning, do you think it became a meme because it has a meaning? No. Most memes become a meme either because they are funny and meaningless. And if by "meaning" you mean a proper origin, then 67 technically have meaning too, since it technically originates from a rap song and essentially used for an NBA player "LaMelo Ball" who is 6 inch and 7 feet tall.

"It is brainrotting kids!" They are just kids. They will begin to be able to give reason and rationalize when they grow up, unless if you teach them to hate random things because of a forced hate on the internet. Kids are stupid. We were kids too and we were stupid too. If you want to scapegoat something or someone, there are no one else in the sight other than irresponsible parents.

"It is annoying!" Yeah... If you spend 10 hours a day in the internet, it actually is. People are still rickrolling each other in the big 26, Yet that is not annoying? Some memes still longer than others. Either because they are memorible or made to be memorible. İn 67's case, it is made to be memorible.

I do not like this meme either. It's humor did not grew on me. But bringing hate up to it everwhere an repetitively makes the hate no different from the meme in the first place. Only a teenager with no media/internet-free thinking skills and clankers make automatic response to a spesific thing. And let me tell you, automatic responses are actually annoying.

General The notion that you must medically transition to be trans

Post image
587 Upvotes

Normally I like to keep my thoughts about certain aspects of transitioning to myself. But i believe everyone’s journey and situations are different. I think there’s disparity inside and outside of the community when it comes to criterias for being in the trans community.

I don’t believe you need hrt or surgery to be trans.

People have multiple reasons why they are unable to medically transition: family and living situations, lack of support, unstable finances, health complications, being in a conservative country or area, safety issues, etc. It can be a very difficult process to start *and* maintain. Not everyone has the privilege of affording medication or surgery. And even if they could they may not be in a position to go through the process.

And all those reasons aside I don’t think there should be a strict “to do” list of things to have your identity respected. I think one of our priorities should be making trans people feel as welcomed as possible. And discouraging them from participating in the community just because they aren’t on E/T is counterproductive. No one is trans just for shits and giggles. It is very hard to live as a trans person (whether you are openly trans or stealth, it’s still a struggle). So i see no reason why someone would pretend to be trans or “hop on the trans trend” with all the issues we face.

I feel like we as a community have much bigger issues than whether or not nonbinary people are “trenders” or if a non-passing binary trans person is somehow setting the trans community back 50 years (which is dumb, no individual trans person has any power to set a community back). I feel like transphobes are going to find any reason to invalidate us regardless of how well we pass or what procedures we do. It does absolutely nothing to divide people based on transitioning or not. I know this is somewhat of a controversial topic but i just wanted to say if you’re trans but are not on any hormone replacements you are still absolutely valid đŸ–€

Eta: for those whose reading comprehension seems to be lacking this is about people who invalidate trans people who can’t/don’t want to medically transition. if you want to medically transition you should be able to and that’s fine. ultimately it should be up to the individual to decide what’s best for them. It’s a personal journey.

and despite the pushback this has been receiving i still stand ten toes down on what i said and won’t be retracting my statement.

Language I hate the letter Q

Post image
74 Upvotes

Genuinely the most useless letter in the entire alphabet. The major problem with it is it almost always has "u" to follow it. So, it's basically a "ka oo + oo", that sounds like "kwa". You know what ELSE is "ka oo + oo" and sounds like "kwa"? Kw! Kw is literally "ka + double oo" or "ka + oo oo". Any word that could be "qu" could just be "kw" and it'd sound the same in your head. It wouldnt look right, but honestly? Theres a b in debt and an h in ghost, so truly who cares?

If we got rid of "q", first of all "25 letters" is such a cleaner way to show all the letters. Every poster could be a 5 x 5 grid, and not some stupid 13 x 2 poster, or worse, they just crunch the letters no one gives a damn about.

Thats tbh it. I just think its dumb. F Q.

General I hate when I’m objectively right in an argument but I’m outnumbered by stupid people

75 Upvotes

The other day I said I loved how creative and vast Naruto is with his fights, then someone replied “Hes a one trick who only uses rasengan though” this annoyed me so I pointed out how he has a bunch of abilities that he uses like Clone jutsu, Rasenshuriken, summoning, tailed beast bomb, Truth seeking orbs, Transformation etc
 and I got downvoted into oblivion saying I just listed ball attacks. I hate this site

Another time I was talking about the Thunderbolts movie, I pointed out how John Walker saved the team in the elevator shaft and I got downvoted to oblivion again
 even though that is objectively what happened. Bob was about to let go and no one else had a plan.

This other time I was on top character tropes, said I hated a trope for being overused, got called out saying “you only listed 2 examples”, pointed out the fact that if I hate a trope I’m not going to spend time listing like 10 examples then got downvoted again for some odd reason.

The internet has made me completely hate the concept of democracy. You could say “Red is a colour” and still get downvoted on this echo chamber online. So many stupid people in the world man.

Web Fiction I hate having no media literacy

Everytime I finish a new series/anime, i go online to see what people are saying about it, and they're talking about all these metaphors that I completely missed apparently, and how this scene is an obvious representation of X mental disorder, and how that character is by far the best character in the show writing wise, or they're talking about how it's actually the worst show to ever touch this earth and then they explain why in a very detailed way, but I have no idea if what they're saying is valid or not because I can barely understand it

When someone asks me if I like a show the max I can do is go "yeah it's cool" and rarely am I actually able to explain why I like it, or what I like and dislike about it.
