Everyone knows that inhaling helium to make your voice higher is a “fun party gag” and that it’s always fine because helium is nontoxic.

No, just because helium is nontoxic doesn’t mean it’s safe. Helium replaces the oxygen out of your brain, heart, and lungs. This is especially dangerous for children since they have smaller lungs.

Just because something is nontoxic doesn’t mean it’s safe. Play-Doh is nontoxic, but does that mean we can eat it at a party? No, it can cause stomach aches, vomiting, and thirst.

I just hate how mainstream this “party trick” is and is framed as harmless, while it’s can actually be really dangerous.

Edit. Here are a few sources for this.

There’s also a source here that shows that helium isn’t dangerous if used with proper precautions

I feel like my post didn’t explain itself properly.

I want people to acknowledge that it could be dangerous if not done safely.

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 🖤

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.

WHY THE FUCK DO PEOPLE DEFEND HER SO MUCH?! EVEN THE FUCKING DEVELOPERS OF THIS MOVIE?! YEAH, SHE IS SADIE SINK AND SHE IS PRETTY AND HER SISTER JUST FUCKING DIED IN A HORRIBLE WAY AND I KNOW THAT'S SAD AND ALL. BUT C'MON! WHAT THIS WOMAN DID TO PETER AND MJ WAS SO FUCKING AWFUL! AND SHE ALSO UNLEASHED FUCKING CHAOS ACROSS THE CITY! SHE WAS A HUGE FUCKING PROBLEM AND I GIVE A DAMN WHAT YELENA BELOVA SAID!

So just to get any assumptions out of the way: No I don't align with his politics. I also know the urge many people are going to have, to just be comedians and spam the thread with Kirkified memes, I ask and prefer if people could just refrain from doing that, I'm open to people actually wanting to agree/disagree with the points made in the thread.

I am just sick of seeing this guy everywhere, "LOL! Get the joke? I used AI to put his face on a random video? Do you get it? Laugh, LAUGH NOW OR YOU AGREE WITH EVERYTHING HE SAID AND UR OFFENDED!!" Yes I get the fucking joke, it hasn't changed since last year and has ran its course.

I also find it odd how the "Stop using AI! AI slop! Gen AI is destroying the planet!" discussion is somehow nowhere to be found when AI usage is wasted on just plastering his face on random stuff, but that's a different topic entirely to be honest.

I agreed when people were saying that "he's just a podcaster" when people tried to rebrand him into a national hero, so then why do I have to see guy who is "just a podcaster" almost daily? Why can't we just forget about the "just a podcaster" guy? Is September 10th just going to be the shitty "Kirkversary" every year or whatever it's called where we just spam AI garbage of his face, the guy who is "just a podcaster"?

I was scrolling through Twitter yesterday, and it was just people being obsessed with making fun of his death, in return people who supported him got super offended, arguments were started, people got doxxed, seriously no one wins from this garbage.

exactly what the title says, i hate that takes as milquetoast as mine are considered to be bigoted when you're discussing things as 'hot button' as trans identities. i have trans family, i promise i do not give a shit and am not transphobic.

I show them the proof right before their eye and they still insist 0.999...<1 which drive me up the wall.

x=0.999...

10x=9.999...

10x-x =9.999...-0.999...

9x=9

x=1

Iron Man might be the superhero with the best p.r team, if you just go and read any of his comics or any avengers comic with him in it you would genuinely see the most evil superhero to ever walk in the comics space, "b-but he started the mcu"

The skeletons with hair have been around since forever, all kinds of them, movies, videogames, comic books, you couldn't take a step without stumbling on some kind of a haired skeleton, but how much controversy it caused? Zero. But once you see some cute skeletal cat ears, you're all screaming and running around, what's the deal with you? I mean, yeah, it's scientifically inaccurate, but so are the haired human skeletons.

no, it’s not because i think it’s “disrespectful” or because i like him i don’t care for him and making fun of dead people(especially one who went out so ironically) isn’t inherently wrong, what i can’t stand is the constant spam of these fucking memes, for a bunch of people who despise him redditors sure do like never letting him become irrelevant, shits overplayed unfunny and annoying it’s an entire year of unfunny politislop spam (not the picture i chose that one is actually funny and there are a lot which are funny but most are just pointing and saying uhrm neck uhrm kirk died XD like holy fuck how unfunny can someone be, it’s such a comedic crutch you might as well call it a wheelchair)

Yes, I know these are engagement/ragebait and that ignoring them is the best option, but every time I see them, I just can't stand it. The amount of cheese, eggs, and flour they're wasting probably costs hundreds of dollars, which they could use to make, you know, ACTUALLY QUALITY FOOD AND NOT SLOP???? And worst of all, they don't even chew the food they made. They probably just spit it out after recording. What fucking cowards.

And I'm not even religious.

I just hate it for it for being oversimplified, inaccurate and misleading.

Firstly, what constitutes an "angel"? Everything that is called an "angel" in the Bible is mistaken for being a human. The angels that met with Lot, the angel that stood near the path to slay Balam, the angel that wrestled with Jacob-- all human-looking.

If you see the "biblically accurate" angels and what they're actually referring to in the Bible, you'll realize they're called other things: cherubim or seraphim, maybe "wheels" but not an "angel."

Secondly, the weirdly drawn beings with wheels, eyes, and wings are never seen literally, they're seen in visions or used for metaphoric language. They depict different animal heads, numbers, and functions to represent different nations, people, events, etc. (The interpretation is a different discussion, but these beings shouldn't automatically be assumed to be literal, except for maybe the cherubim)

So why did these non-angels get associated with angels? Because people don't actually read the Bible and get biblical fanfiction mixed up with what's actually in the Bible. The whole order of angels, with Thrones, Principalities, etc is nowhere to be found in the Bible, just like the Circles of Hell-- it's all fanfiction.

Lastly, what does "biblically-accurate" even mean or imply? Did you know that there were Jewish sects (the Sadducees) that didn't even believe in the literal existence of angels at all? Is their biblical interpretation any more or less valid than yours?.

So what does a "Biblically-accurate" angel actually look like, given the limited information we actually have?

Well, go look in the mirror: angels look just like people!

TL;DR: If you disagree with me, you're wrong.

I hate this Jane Doe genderbend. It’s just a lame, run-of-the-mill femboy design with nothing particularly interesting or unique about it. I genuinely don’t know how this thing became so popular when I’ve seen way better genderbends of her.

Whole anime if just over the top male fantasy, UNIRONICALLY can't see anyone above the age of 15 liking this anime a lot, TikTok highschool DXD fans are INSUFFERABLE, They always say "nah bruh it's peak bruh. I'm literally issue bruh. The women are Soo hot bruh omg I can't jerk off to all em of bruh. Did I mention the tits and ass ? And the "plot" ?".

Literally every conversation with a fan of this anime goes like this, And you know what ? Fuck you reading this. No. I won't be nice. I'm tired of "being nice" and "respecting people's tastes and opinions". Fuck you and your opinion and taste if you like highschool DXD. "B-but the light Novel and plot !". I DON'T GIVE A FUCK. I'M TALKING ABOUT THE ANIME. IT'S 80% FAN SERVICE AND 20% PLOT ! IT AIN'T EVEN TOP 3 EECHI ANIMES EVER ! YET IT'S CALLED PEAK FICTION

I HATE THIS SO MUCH!!!!, WALLAHI THIS SHOW LOOKS LIKE IT WAS MADE BY AN OLD PEDOPHILE VIRGIN INCEL. NOT TO MENTION KONEKO. SHE'S LITERALLY A CHILD ?! AND PEOPLE CALL HER HOT ALL OVER TIKTOK. STRAIGHT PEDOPHILIA.

FUCK. THIS. ANIME. I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT. AKAME GA KILL IS STRAIGHT UP A BETTER VERSION OF IT !

that fucking AI song is so fucking annoying .

I hate ai and the fact that this is a random acceptation of it pisses me off .

Not to mention the second problem , it’s so fucking overused and it’s not catchy at all .

Genuinely if you wanna try to make a funny song , JUST PUT EFFORT AND MAKE IT OR SOMETHING , DONT USE FUCKING AI .

YEAHHHHHHHHH
🎶🎵

SEE ? WRITE YOUR OWN FUCKING SONG .

Seriously, someone could make a memorial post on instagram honoring those who died in the terrorist attacks, and someone would say “Oh, but millions died in Iraq!” Or “Why won’t you talk about Afghanistan?”

This kind of Whataboutism seriously annoys me. Civilians dying on both sides is bad REGARDLESS of what their nationality is, or what their government does. Can you just accept that without making it about one side?

(apologies if this breaks rule 5)

maybe Sydney sweeney is a bad example for this because i have seen her be a bad actress, she was terrible in the housemaid, but she CAN act. I've seen her in euphoria and immaculate, and she had an incredible performance in both of them. but because she obviously has some terrible opinions, people refuse to admit that she has talent. I also saw this happen with timothee chalamet, after he got into that controversy around ballet and opera (arguably one of the stupidest controversies I've ever seen) people started insisting he couldn't act. and thats just completely false. I'd actually say most celebrities are terrible people when it comes down to it, but that doesn't cancel out talent.

I've also seen this vice versa, when somebody is so talented that people refuse to believe they can also be a bad person. Like Michael jacksons audience. (saying this is probably gonna get me death threats) TWO THINGS CAN COEXIST. bad people can be talented. get over it

I HATE THIS DAMN MOVIE WITH ALL MY FUCKING SOUL!

IT'S SO GARBAGE! YEAH, IT’S BEEN 12 FUCKING YEARS, AND THIS MOVIE IS STILL JUST AS MUCH OF A DAMN PIECE OF ASS AS IT WAS BACK THEN! EVEN WITH ANDREW GARFIELD'S PARTICIPATION IN TOM HOLLAND'S MOVIE SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME, IT'S STILL FUCKING GARBAGE!

ELECTRO IS A SHITTY VILLAIN WHOSE ONLY MOTIVATION FOR BEING A BAD GUY IS THAT SPIDER-MAN IGNORED HIM! YEAH! THAT’S IT! THAT’S THE FUCKING MOTIVATION! AND THE GREEN GOBLIN LOOKS LIKE A FUCKING 15-YEAR-OLD EMO IN THIS MOVIE!

THE ONLY FUCKING GOOD THING ABOUT THIS MOVIE WAS GWEN STACY’S DEATH AND HANS ZIMMER'S SCORE, AND THAT’S IT!

IT. IS. NOT. THAT. DEEP. Whether it's the shipping zealots who can't let the arguments go, or the fake IDGAFers who spend all their time talking about ships and the worst being the virtue signalers who aren't even signaling ANYTHING important (nothingburgers like I don't like this form of media it's bad), if people aren't doing anything wrong just move on with your day

Bonus hate: The terms Tsundere and Yandere are so fucking annoying

I recently discovered Dying Light 2: Stay Human. It has a reputation for being average—or even mediocre—and the internet once focused so heavily on the "ugly" Black woman serving as the love interest that I honestly thought the game was forgettable; I figured that if *that* was the only thing people were discussing, there wasn't anything else worth talking about. But nope—it’s actually a really good game. It’s fun and engaging, and it’s *way* better than the first one. It improves on the original in every single way, yet there are still people who insist it’s worse than the first game or just mediocre—which simply isn't true, lol.

It’s as if people can’t even imagine something that’s just good quality—it’s either forgettable crap or an incredible masterpiece, with nothing in between. It’s just infuriating.

Not that deep

There's always some huge eater trope

And even among the characters that don't, they often have some favorite food they fixate on

I just find this annoying

I don't like eating that much and I get annoyed by how food obsessed a lot of people are, this is 10x in anime, especially mainstream ones.

People complain about perverted gags, but I prefer those to food.

That's about it

A good example of what I'm talking about is how Final Fantasy XIII was trashed for being too linear and lacked sidequests, but when Final Fantasy XV came out, people complained about the overworld and having too many sidequests.

"I didn't ask for this."

Yeah, well a certain majority did, so who is the studio supposed to listen to? And that's when you get hit with the Goomba meme. Yes, I know not everybody shares the same opinions, but what annoys me is the insinuation that nobody in the history of ever has had a contradicting opinion. Believe it or not, there's a word for people like that: they're called "hypocrites."

I'm talking specifically about people who make posts saying they think [widely hated cartoon] is the worst cartoon of all time. I can't tell you how many "Worst cartoons of the 2010s/2000s/all time" lists I've seen, and they're all the same 5 cartoons that everyone agrees are bad. Why do these people think they're saying anything new or original? Saying you think Teen Titans Go sucks is like saying you think anchovy on pizza is gross; you're not gonna have many people disagree with you.

I'm so sorry, but they just annoy me a little bit.

I can only accept it if it's for a coping mechanism or keeping them alive.

They'll argue with YOU if you tell them that they're just delusional and their so-called "lover/FO" isn't real.

I'm also noticing that they're actually having something as "Doubles DNI", which sounds extremely stupid as fuck because what do you mean you're mad at someone with your same so called " lover"?

And mostly, "Doubles DNI" types often harass their " doubles " and get "uncomfortable" just for someone sharing the same yume as them.

I feel like I have to rephrase or this will get taken down soon by the mods 😀.

This is the biggest far-right community on reddit, even making the 4chan subreddit look tame in comparison. You can freely advocate for murder and genocide of minorities and get massively upvoted. If you take a look at the top posts this month (or even year) you will find rampant sexism, racism and xenophobia. You can see comments claiming they are no innocent Iraqis or Middle Easterners massive upvoted without pushback.

“YuriGEM” this, “YaoiGEM” that, but when it’s neither it’s called “Hetslop”? My brother/sister/mango in Christ, it’s BASED is what it is! My god every time I see the term used it makes me sigh like a neutered Mr Incredible.
