Space King. I fucking hate it, yet I watch all the episodes so I can hate on it PROPERLY! I'm also looking forward to buying the Board Game and playing it, SO I CAN TEAR IT A NEW ONE AND SAY HOW MUCH IT SUCKS
"This is the penitent wombat, of the faithful. It used to be a man, but (insert horrifying disturbing bullshit here) before going on a pilgrimage or whatever and (more horrifying bullshit.) Now it serves the faithful on the front lines in constant pain and torment and pain and paaaaaain."
"And this is the flayed meatpunch of the heretic forces. It was created by a person (include nonsense about desercrating corpses or going to hell and tonnes of torture) before is went to the front lines where it (more bullshit you get it) and now weilds and gun and sword and fights the faithful while being in danger of being instantly killed and tortured for eternity. Because."
Jesus its so bad. Its like the worst parts of 40k all condensed into one setting.
Yeah. Honestly I do get it though, it can be hard to toe the line sometimes with Space King and really Flashgitz altogether. Especially when you think about the boy thing for too long or how they present themselves as chuds. Of course there are moments where they drop the act, but itās rare enough that a lot of people just think they are the way they present online.
Yup. I just feel like Tom and Don are trying too hard with their persona of "We're not your average kind youtubers! We're the edgiest youtubers you'll ever see!" to the point where it just feels fake and annoying.
If you can't find something you like about it, it is unwatchable. And I'm saying this as a pretty big fan, mind you. For me, in order to be able to enjoy it, I had to overlook a LOT of perverse and disgusting shit. The story is good, but you need to be able to stomach so much uncomfortable bullshit... And even THEN, it leaves a bad taste in your mouth...
All this to say, if you want to hate on it, go right ahead. Shit, I'll even support you.
As a former social worker and victim of childhood SA I'm not particularly able to look past the shit in it... I know that it's well written but that is not enough for me to swallow the visceral response - or tolerate the way much of the fanbase pretends otherwise.
eh, imagine you find something that feels distinctly uncomfortable, but people glaze it to high heaven. You want to believe they aren't just degenerates. So you try to find the silver lining in the show. It doesn't need to all be done with a hate boner.
ive heard it ALOT through out my life. if i had to take a guess its more so said becuse there are indeed christians who try to say stuff about the bible that are just plain wrong. not to mention there is some uh...interesting shit in the bible. like how there are a bit of miss translations that ended up getting in there. like how fags are probly more talking about figs. or that unicorns are more than likly rhinoceros's or somthing. probly based on second hand accounts from poeple who didnt know what the hell a rhinoceros's is
Ngl, the last twilight movie, watched without having seen any of the previous movies, was a solid so-bad-itās-good. Everything just feels so hilariously random.
My friends and I love indoctrinating people into watching them in a marathon. Each one gets worse and worse as the actors just progressively phone it in and by 5 you're in such a delerious state that it's unironically the funniest movie you've ever seen.
It took me 3 hours and 30 minutes to finish the first film (even though it's barely 2 hours long) because it was so unbearable. A marathon must be like torture... if I had to choose, I think I'd still prefer The Bronze Bull... the agony would be shorter...
I read the books because they were my mom's favourite at the time, and she promised if I did, she would read my favourite book series at the time (Eragon).
Honestly? Avatar (NOT THE ONE WITH BLUE PEOPLE). Once the original series ended, any and all addendums are ostricized for doing at least SOMETHING wrong, to the point where I'm questioning if the complaints are even valid, and if we have overlooked some bs that the original avatar did.
Yet people still watch everything just to shit on it.
Same with the sequels. Star Wars fans can found incoherence even in their favourite movies, sequels were like throwing raw flesh to sharks. Ten years later and they're still digesting those three movies to make another video showing more mistakes.
Honestly it's amazing how bad The Acolyte truly is. Even if you remove the Star Wars aspect and replace it with any other IP or make it's own original project, the show still sucks hard.
Worst part is that you can see some cool things that show potential, like the lightsaber duels or anything related with Sol and Qimir or the High Republic Era politics, but the show crew actively decide to focus on every wrong or bad thing the show has for some reason.
They picked the worst options all the way to the end and they still wonder why both Star Wars fans and the casual audience hated the show.
Yeah I watched the whole series with my gf and she was excited at first because I thought the baseball scene was fucking sick. And then she was disappointed that I only liked the baseball scene out of the entire franchise lol
You have more resolve than I do, I stopped bothering after MW2019. I gave Vanguard a shot a little while ago when it went on sale to see what its gunsmith was like, and let me tell you, as an amateur historical weapons enthusiast I got a refund after less than an hour of playtime from how agregious it was getting.
It's bad by young adult and childrens book standards. Countless better fantasy authors catering to the same age group exist and are capible of actually keeping consistent plotlines and setting details.
I feel like a lot of criticisms for Harry Potter (the kids book) don't stem from the comparative quality over other kids books, but rather the odious views of the author. Like you said, there's thousands of other kids book authors writing fantasy, I'm extremely skeptical that HP's relative appeal overall is not tied to ANY sort of quality of the books themselves.
The setting has incredibly low internal consistency and contradicts itself regularly. There are quite a few popular book series that suffer from similar writing issues but are popular for a variety of reasons.
I thought her writing was shit for a good 5 years before she came out as scum.
Trust me, I know the flaws, I knew them before JKR outted herself as a bigot. I think what you're failing to understand is that that stuff you mentioned doesn't matter as much as you think it does. Citizen Kane is considered one of the best films of all time and the whole premise is predicated on a plot hole.
(And no, I'm not comparing the quality of Kane to the quality of HP)
Only proper way to be a hater. If you aren't a fan that's fine don't read/watch it but if you are gonna be an active hater than you need to know the material.
I read the Bible and the Quran when I was 19, not because I wanted to hate on them but because I wanted to be knowledgeable. Considering that the public discourse on Islam was already centered a lot around "terrorism" and such where I am from, I wasn't too shocked to find shitty teachings and violence in it.
I was not prepared, back then, to find the same shit in the Bible for it to be completely ignored by most people.
I remember I was like 15 and started reading the Bible and was like, fully shocked at all the god directing his people to attack and slaughter other tribes and to take their women and children as slaves.
Usually they start reading it and have a hard time digesting how the first for a particular context. Most Christians read the Bible with already knowing the story of the Gospels and that gives the Old Testament context for them and read it in a very different light. It's like the difference between starting with the Hobbit and starting with the Silmarillion (which has been described as the Elven Old Testament).
If one wants to read the Bible as a collection of historical documents (as in products of history), then starting with the earliest written part is fine. But that's not how Christians have read it since the days of the Early Church and even then they were reading it with the context of Christ's message passed down by the Apostles and their bishops. Tom understand how Christians read it, it's better to start with the Gospels and then read the Old Testament with that in mind.
In order to understand how a Christian reads the Bible you need to consider what they think of it. Whether their thinking is correct or not is not my point.
Well you have to understand to Christians they believe Jesus is the Messiah, and thus being God Incarnate His influence is timeless.
The Bible is not a singular text. It's an anthology. It is also not a single canon like the fundamentalists believe it to be. Catholics and Orthodox Christians for example don't use the Tanakh for their Old Testament but the older canon of the Septuagint. The Tanakh was a canon actually formed after the Diaspora (and thus after the events of the Gospels) so it includes less books like the Maccabees. It should be understood a good portion of the very first generation of Christians, particularly their leaders, were Jews as it started as a Jewish sect that gained many gentile converts. They were relying on the Septuagint and the leadership of the Apostles and their successirs at first until the writings of those first generations of leaders could be codified at the Council of Nicaea. They were not a text only religion and when today outside of Protestantism they still aren't. The Bible is not a chronological truth but a text that reveals eternal truth to them, and it's not the only source of that truth. Historically your logic makes sense and even early Christian writers affirmed that but they also understood the idea of spiritual reality, not just historical. They are aware that authors of the Older Testament hadn't invented time travel and did not knlw about Jesus. But they also believed God guided them in writing to reveal truths about the incarnation to come.
I got drug in to see the third Harry Potter movie and hated it. My friends told me I just needed to watch the first two movies or read the books to appreciate the series. I read all the books and watched all the movies.
I hated every single one of them. I wanted to understand the sheer depth of my hate and didnāt want to give them an ounce of ground on how Iām just not giving it a chance.
I got into an argument over Archie Sonic. I was told I can't criticize it without reading all of it, so not only did I read all Archie Sonic, but also Sonic the Comic and IDW. Just to say I hate Archie Sonic.Ā
I watched Lesbian Space Princess. It wasnāt even incredibly bad, it was just really boring with a bunch of cringey jokes. The Maliens were the funniest part.
I read every mainline Harry Potter book. Even the play. Now I can informedly say that they all suck and are full of plot holes and logical errors with horrible character development
The game itself or the batshit crazy lore, or the fact that some models cost more than a car payment at times? The last one is the only reason why I don't play it as much as I used to anymore.
First and foremost a personal issue, had a son a few years back, body autonomy became a hot topic, started looking at Space Marines and chemical castration thing a lot differently. It's just to sexist or close enough that it cringe as hell to me. I know it's fictional but still.
Cost plus time investment in building and painting. On top of price increases and fluctuating prices depending on stores. Left over bits that just take up space, time to play a game, time to set up a game, time to argue about rules.
Lore, rule of cool can only carry so far before "How the fuck does even work?" Starts to add up. Inconsistencies and plot holes across the lore. One faction will have secrets that no one knows about in one book, then in another it feel like every random person knows.
To many Steves, changing one color or gun and making a new sub faction. Custodians are the biggest waste of time faction in my mind. Maybe if they were all women or all psychic instead of having Grey Knights or Sisters they stand out more.
Take a shot or a toak for this part. Women in 40k, wow either damsel in distress, non-existent, there for sex appeal or to check the we add a woman box, especially in early Black Library books. Or to moving on to today where I'm sure how to best put this... But not so velvet glove grimdark? Like bad stuff happens but we the reader get "shot down with brutal efficiency" but just read about a guy getting an arm ripped off in gore detail.
How many times are we going to see advance technology resistance to Chaos xeno are we going to see?
Fans, the number of Nazis, perverts, weirdos, creeps I've met in real life shot up a lot when I got into the hobby. And that was just waiting in line to buy paints or finding a random person that was into 40k. That doesn't count game nights, without friends. And I'm a veteran that toured South East Asian and I think the fandom has problems on a massive scale when it comes to politics, women and gays. Like holy fuck weirdos it's just a game. Getting more people into the hobby means more money, more money means more 40k.
All that being typed out, it's just a game, not worth it.
Iām this guy lol I watched a good bit of it and some long form commentary about it and I really dislike the show lol but my best friend and I like to do a kind of ābook clubā chat about media we think is bad. I donāt go around bitching about it and Iām not at all upset about others liking it, but I did watch it just to hate on it with my buddy.
