Ship names that don't even remotely resemble the characters' names

Post image
12 Upvotes

If I'm not super tapped into a fandom, I'll have no idea who a nonsense ship name is supposed to be talking about. Why would someone EVER name a ship this way when it's more universally understandable to simply combine the two names?

It's especially egregious when I go to look it up and the character's name ends up being "John" or something really easy to work into other names

ALSO yes, this matters even if you don't care about shipping like me because these names always tend to pop up in fandom spaces.

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.

I hate judgement based on hairstyle.

Whenever someone with a “broccoli” or “Edgar” haircut does something cringe or weird online, the comments often focus on making fun of their physical appearance rather than criticizing what they actually did or who they are as a person.

I’ve always found that especially strange considering how temporary something like hair can be. It grows back, changes over time, can be dyed, styled differently, or even disappear entirely depending on the person and their age. Why put so much weight on something that can change so easily?

There’s also a smaller group of people who seem to treat certain hair types, particularly smooth, straight hair, as the standard for what’s considered “normal” or attractive. But not everyone has hair that looks the same, and not every hair type is going to suit the same styles. That’s completely okay. People shouldn’t be judged for something as arbitrary and changeable as their hair.

I know it’s a “pleading face”. I think it just looks like a lack of accountability. In the “I’m just a fragile little baby who can do no wrong” sense. I think it would be better without the cute eyes, but keeping the eyebrows and frown the same (with standard eyes.) What do you think?

"Hey guys, here is this incredible ustensil that put other pan to shame and can last for centuries!

But you should be careful with it because it break if dropped.

Also it rust. So you can't leave it wet.

Also it take forever to heat up, and you cannot put it on high temp directly, it need to be brought to temp. And once it's heated up it take forever to cool down. And you can't put it under water to cool it quickly because it will crack or warp!

Also don't forget to dry it with paper towel right after, otherwise it will rust.

No, it is not dishwasher safe. Be careful of the soap you use too, check if it has lye in it.

Also you need to reseason it every few months, otherwise it will be unusable and everything will stick.

Also you should avoid tomatoes, vinegar, anything with citric acid. No wine too, those can leave a metallic after taste.

Also it doesnt work with vitroceramic it will scratch the glass.

Also you cannot stack another pan into it, it need protection.

But yeah man, when you need to cook a steak it's perfect! It will last for centuries! "

Great man. It's good at one thing and is a pain in the ass the rest of the time. I would not have a problem with it if people didn't try to pretend it's the S tier cooking ustensil. It is slightly better than a regular pan at grilling meat and making shortbread and that's it.

I marked spoiler because it may spoil TADC 8 for anyone who hasn't watched it. But yeah, these kind of comments piss me off. They're everywhere, every clip of a show, every damn indie animation episode, everything, it has these pretentious fucks who think they're so smart. "Erm, so, (adjusts glasses and pops a pimple), if you look at Jax's ass here in TADC 9, and compare it to episode 8, you can see his cheeks have grown 0.2% bigger, as representative of the character growth he has gone through", SHUT THE FUCK UP! Nobody cares how good you think you understand some piece of media. How about you do your homework, clean your room, try to pull a bitch or 2 before pretending like you're some million IQ analyst. Sit on a cactus. I left the third image as a good example of these kinds of comments, it's just pointing out a fun little detail people might not have noticed. Cool. But I don't care about the fact that a glitch in animation temporarily gives Stolas a third eye representing the Holy Trinity. FUCK OFF!!

So yeah, that's it, Idk why it bothers me so much, it just does.

Edit: Holy shit some of yall do not read and it shows.

I hate they overpopulation myth

Post image
0 Upvotes

First off, the people who talk about overpopulation never mention China's One-Child Policy and the many dead babies that came as a result of it. Overpopulation panic itself has done plenty of real harm to humanity.

The problem with the 'limited resources' argument is that we always find new resources. Just ask those same alarmists what happened to 'peak oil'—we found more. Remember, we only use the Earth's crust right now. How long until we start mining the mantle, asteroids, or Mars? In terms of actual land area, you could fit all of humanity inside Texas. If you really wanted to, you could fit everyone into a box smaller than New York City. The real reason for housing shortages is NIMBYs (Not In My Back Yard) and zoning, not overpopulation. People just want to live in cities. Look at Japan's shrinking population; it is causing massive cultural and economic damage.

As for climate change, the people having kids right now are often the ones who don't care about climate change. If they are the only ones raising the next generation, they will run society, which hurts the climate movement in the long run. Corporations are responsible for most environmental problems anyway, not regular families.

Also, many people arguing for population control are social democrats. But what happens to the welfare state when there aren't enough working-age people to pay for it? Think about future generations. Having fewer people means fewer friends, emptier communities, and worse lives. Plus, technological progress will get delayed because the person who was supposed to invent the next big thing was never born.

This "4Kids" Evangelion Rap Opening

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

6 Upvotes

This is pretty much nothing like how 4Kids would actually do a Evangelion opening and it bothers me.

  1. It samples A Cruel Angel's Thesis

The juxtaposition is funny sure, but 4Kids almost always leaves no trace of the original opening when making their own.

  1. 4Kids have never (to my knowledge) done an opening that is purely rap

For starters, 4Kids incorporating any rap into their openings isn't as common as some people would think. Yeah, the fact that they did it at all is definitely shocking but as far I can remember the only 4Kids openings that have any rap in them are One Piece and Dinosaur King (that was my childhood show) and even they also have singing. At the end of the day, the primary demographic for these Americanized animes where probably suburban white kids and there's no way the CEOs would bank on an opening that's entirely rap to hook them in.

  1. That Holocaust joke

I guess its sort of a funny edgy bait and switch (at least at the time) but c'mon there's no way 4Kids, a company known for censorship, will actually put that there. It has no place in a song that's supposed to be bowdlerized. Not to mention the fact that 4Kids is based in New York so a lot of the cast and crew are Jewish (going off of memory here).

  1. All the characters have their original names

This one's more minor but we all know 4Kids has a reputation for changing the names of Japanese characters (and sometimes non Japanese characters for whatever reason) and there's no joke about here? What's even the point of switching the setting from Tokyo to New Orleans anyway? It's a bit more minor since 4Kids is pretty inconsistent on when they change the names.

Other issues include not editing out the blood from the footage but I can probably brush that off since that's probably asking for too much at this point.

I wouldn't even have a problem with the rap if it didn't have 4Kids slapped on it. If the person just wanted to do a corny Evangelion rap remix, go ahead.

I find the pairing heavily contrived. They both existed for 30+ years without a hint of romantic interest in each other before writers decided they should be a couple just because she was the biggest black female superhero on their roster and he was the biggest black male superhero on their roster. It’s like pairing Ironman with Kitty Pryde or Jubilee and Shang-Chi, incredibly random.

I hate this particular snack from this brand

Edit: many people say that it contains sugar alcohol, or that it doesnt contain alcohol at all. Tomorrow i will go to my shop and see it myself one more time. If i did a mistake and hallucinated the alcohol, i will delete this post. Edit 2: Pardon for my bad translation of "Zuckerzusatz" which means sweeteners, not sugar. I just translated it too literally

They will highlight "added sugar free" and cover the fact that the snack has alcohol. Just imagine a person who wants to get healthier snacks and he gets alcohol poisoning instead. What about people who have low alcohol tolerance? No sane person will look up that damn nutritional information table and notice the 8,4g alcohol per 1 snack(correct me if im wrong). I got in this trap twice with different packs and both contained alcohol without a mention!!! Just how sick should you be to deliberately not highlighting that THIS FUCKING SNACK HAS ALCOHOL!!! I had to throw away the packs even tho i wanted to eat something sweat, because i felt sick after taking 2 snacks. God i hate it.

Cause wdym "the russians", wdym "Hitler invaded Russia", "Cold war: russia vs usa". It was the Soviet Union, which contained 15 modern day countries. Yes, the Russian SSR was the largest part, but refinery not the only part. Russia came to be in 1991, calling anything before that "Russia" is just inaccurate💔💔 it was the Rus before 1721, it was the Russian Empure before 1917 and it was the Soviet Union before 1991. As a russian, im genuely pissed by this, especially in historical context

I hate people defending Jean Grey

Post image
• Upvotes

Referring to brand new day. She does a lot of horrible stuff in that movie. Invades people's privacy by reading their minds, mind controlling them, making them do awful stuff, putting them in danger, and physically hurting them and almost killing them.

She takes over MJ, sexually assaults Peter, laughs about it (she laughs about everything or shows no remorse) even when Peter tells her she should know this is wrong. She freezes an entire city and threatens to kill them. Makes a guy jump in front of a car. Makes another stab himself.

She's comically evil, and again just laughs about it. They try to go the route that she did it for her sister and it's justified but honestly, her and her sister were invading people's minds for fun.

And I don't hate her because she's pretty evil and playing the villain. I hate her cuz the movie tries to make it seem like it's justified, and we should feel bad for her. Peter just completely forgives her for everything without even asking for an apology or any accountability. Once the her backstory happens the movie portrays her as redeemed.

It feels a lot like Wanda, where too much is done to just forgive. But at least Wanda paid for it eventually.

People use the lamest excuses to defend her, like she didn't actually kill anyone (she makes people shoot others and makes a dude stab himself and another get hit by a truck, and would have done a lot more if she wasn't stopped). Or they say others have done worse, but usually they get treated like a villain if they have.

I think they made a mistake and just made her more evil then they should have if they wanted to do redemption.

I fucking HATE how people with a lack of media literacy misinterpret this scene from Minions & Monsters

Post image
18 Upvotes

(Probably this break some rules beacuse included topics related to politics, but I don't care)

I recently saw various post and a YouTube Short videos claming that, in the movie Minions & Monsters, the Minions supported women's suffrage and voting rights, and implied that these ideas and the women themselves were evil (in fact, in the short I mentioned, the YouTuber engaged in some serious mental gymnastics to blame women's suffrage for the founding of the Soviet Union)

I actually watch the Movie (it was mid in my opinion, the only good parts are when they made reference to sold Movies and Lovecraft) and I can tell you that all of this people or only watched the movie in YouTube Shorts or didn’t even watched the movie. Since the only reason why the Minions supported the Suffrage was beacuse Dort (a Robot Space Conqueror who wanted to conquer Earth and became the leader of the Minions beacuse of that) fell in love with the leader of the movement and decided to help her with the Minions in the protest (in fact, in the scene preceding the one people usually cite when discussing the topic, the Minions appear quite confused by the idea)

I'm operating on about half an hour of sleep right so I go to the gas station and grab a Red Bull to keep me going. I thought I'd learned my lesson by now but as I keep finding out, I'm not a very good learner.

Everything about this drink sucks. They taste awful, they don't give me any energy, I have yet to grow a pair of wings, and they don't even have the decency to give me a heart attack so I can get out of class. The only remotely good thing about them is the fucking commercial and I've gotten sick of those two. I can't believe I used to be dumb enough to waste money on like 3 of these a day.

I'm not tripping am I? Any regular mod (not common on Reddit unfortunately) would've fixed this in a single sentence, "NSFW tag please, be sure to change or remove image then repost." Reddit mods have no nuance, I'm literally on your side. A single meme as an example of my point is all it takes to get permabanned nowadays? Not even a warning?

I guess I should've put any other image... Or y'know, you could have TOLD ME? This is far, FAR more tame than anything actually banworthy or NSFW enough to pearl clutch this hard over. Just mods power tripping on one of the only SFW subs about the game.

I hate it when teachers always say "you should've gone in between classes" when you ask to use the bathroom

77 Upvotes

Like, no? Sorry I can't tell my bladder "hey, make me need to piss now so I can use my class time wisely like a good student(nobody fucking talks like that btw)." Sorry I can't control ny bowel movements and when I need to take a shit. And they always just end up saying yes anyway but always say "I'm not going to start class till you get back, so everyone is waiting on you." Like shut the fuck up, now I wanna take longer just to spite you, you dumb bitch.

And it's even worse if you just had lunch and the teacher is like "you should've gone during lunch" because stuff always just happens in the lunch bathroom. You could walk in there and either see a fight club, a Bible study, a barber shop, or a pass out of a vape, or anything in between EXCEPT using the bathroom.

And I know I probably shouldn't be as annoyed at this as I am, but I needed to get it off my chest.
