oh.

Disclaimer: this isn't true for every brony, many are not like this.

I don't think the brony fandom challenged gender norms too much. In fact, I think many just reinforced them. Why? Simple, I remember many classroom speeches, brony videos, comments and such. A common theme was that "I know this looks like it's for little girls, but it's not because etc." Then they would try to validate their like for it by either describing it as a masterwork or latch on to certain geek references to say "hey look, they are appealing to us older nerds". They also tried to assert their manliness by showing they (or other bronies) were in the military or looking to celebs to validate it. Finally, they would make sure to say that this one was far superior to the other gens, those were actually girly and silly. The way to challenge gender norms is to ignore them, not move goal posts. I personally like to collect dolls and dress them up. I won't sit here and try to explain how manly it is, I won't justify it because my other hobbies or job. It's just that i grew up with an older sister and enjoyed some of the things she did. That's all there is to it. You like mlp? Good for you. You watch the barbie movies or tinker bell? Neat. Don't sit there and try to validate it and assert that you are still manly, it really doesn't matter.

Most of mine are negative, but…

-The 90s weren't all that great
-…Particularly when it comes to television animation
-College isn't much better than high school
-Adventure Time is trying so hard to be serious that it isn't fun to watch anymore
-Andy Samberg isn't funny. Like holy hell, I can't stand him
-Harry Potter isn't all that great. I've seen all the movies and attempted to read the books, but I never ended up liking it
-Movies based on young-adult novels about a "chosen one" in a dystopian future were never entertaining or original.

And now for some positives…

-I actually really liked Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland
-Same goes for his Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (which is ironically less creepy and more heartwarming than the first pedo version)
-The Disney parks are much better than Universal Studios, in almost all regards

This Heavily

Now onto my opinions:

-I still find modern Nostalgia critic funny except for his Mad Max Review

-I really don't like Pasta because it tastes very bland

-I consider Barack Obama to be the worst president of the United States of America

-I really don't care for The Great Ace Attorney but I am more excited for Ace Attorney 6

- I really like the Green Lantern movie.

- I think scientific theories of creation and religious theories of creation can coexist. One being right doesn't automatically make the other wrong.

- Beside how little screen time Venom got, Spider-Man 3 was a pretty good movie.

- I like The Phantom Menace. I like Jar Jar Binks and am sad he was snubbed in everything after Phantom Menace.

- I don't care for the new Bionicle sets and wish it wasn't rebooted.

- I use Internet Explore and think it is a good web browser, you just have to know how to use it.

- I never liked Five Nights at Freddy's. I played the first game once, beat the first night after 3 tries got board and never played again.

- I find games with super HD graphics annoying, they take up too much hard drive space and there is no reason they have to look that realistic.

- I was fine with Mass Effect 3's ending before the extended cut.

- Nothing is wrong with content creators pandering to their fans.

- I find fighting games boring, I only got Smash because my friends play it all the time and I like playing games with my friends but I don't care to play it or any other fighting game on my own, even to "get good."

- Being a Mary Sue doesn't automatically make a character a bad character.

- Hating on trivial things that aren't hurting you (e.g. any media) is stupid. You're free to not like something like a show or movie or game but getting angry at it's very existence is stupid.

What exactly was so bad about his Mad Max review? I stopped following and watching him after his review of Jurassic World, which IMO, is one of his worst reviews.

His Mad Max review was a 30 minute sketch with as minimal reviewing as possible with most of it just making fun of feminists/Tom Hardy fangirls taking it too seriously and menimists (he seriously uses the term unironically) who badmouthed the movie because reasons, all so he can come to the conclusion it is one of the greatest movies ever because it is the movie equivalent of a Road Runner cartoon.

Flying a banner is for idiots. If you need to identify with a group of any kind and hold yourself to that side's beliefs, you've failed at being a decent human being.

A person's loyalty is to themselves first and foremost. Every deed they do from there, both good and bad, is just an extension of their personal ideals. Therefore, if a person sides wholly with one side and cares not for the other, I don't see how they can think themselves good people.

-I find the passive aggressive behavior often seen in Riff-Raff to be too annoying for my taste. Something about it really bothers me in a way where it sometimes feels like some people there are basically of the "I think I'm so smart by mocking KYMs userbase in such a pretentious sounding manner" kind of mindset.

-I hate that Tumblr-styled radical social justice "special snowflakes" have sorta ruined the kinds of hair styles and hair colors normally associated with the kind of "special snowflakes" who at least used those hairstyles to identify with subcultures I have a fascination with like punks, goths, and the like. Like when I see a girl with half her head shaved and the other half is long enough to cover one eye it better be because she loves clubbing to EBM music, because when I see it on someone who probably spends more time bitching about "teh patriarchy" on Twitter then I'm like "no, you do not deserve that hairstyle, you're no rebel, you're a slacktivist."

- The Shrek memes at this point are anonying and try so hard to be funny but end up being unfunny.
- DayZ SA is just a big failure as project is been 2 years still is a early access game that why i go for the mod.
- Silent Hill origns is highly underrated in the franchise.
- The TV show of The Walking Dead is so bad.
- I find Doctor Who boring.

I hate all this "skeleton/spooky/2spoopy" shit surrounding October.
But for good reason.
1. On my 8th birthday, some donkus had a jack-in-the-box skull as a birthday prank for me. Now, I've been seeing skeletons and skulls and shit all over the goddamn place for the entire month, pretty much having them shoved down my throat and even at one point someone wanted to make my party skeleton-themed, which I of course said "No" to. I threw the damn thing out the window after they filmed my reaction. Apparently I was absolutely blank faced when it popped out.
2. All this attention given to human innards and not demons, dragons, vampires, or other otherwordly entities?! This is just a personal thing, I've always preferred high-fantasy.
3. The Skeleton War shit just got so boring to me I grew to hate anything about Skeleton Jokes even more.
So yeah, call me a fuccboi, but I'd rather dedicate my birthday month to dragons. Besides, dragons are just that much more awesome. (Looks at Rayquaza and Uria which technically isn't a Dragon but looks like one so I'll call it one, fack off.)

I'll be honest, when I first got into the show around 4 years ago, I acted like the way you described it. I'm actually cringing as I think about it now.

I have a few more:

-I don't really want Shovel Knight in Smash. I don't mind people voting for him and I don't mind if he gets in the game, but he's way too recent and has never even been on Japanese soil. While I'm on the subject, I did get a bit peeved when he got an amiibo.

-I actually find Vines funny at times. Granted there are some stupid ones (9 + 10, What are those, etc.), but others like Deez Nuts I don't mind at all.

-I don't like Pinkie Pie nowadays. As of season 4, I felt she became really obnoxious and loud for me. Pinkie Pride is still one of my favorite episodes, but other than that I just cringe.

-I think malls and schools would be much safer if they have metal detectors and security guards at their entrances (that's how they are in the Philippines). It's better to be safe than sorry after all.

-I think the zombie apocalypse genre is overrated. The concept is neat, but every piece of media I've seen of that genre has the same damn survival plot. The only zombie apocalypse related thing I've liked was Zombieland.

-I found Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit uninteresting.

-I actually like watching awards shows, especially the Golden Globes and Oscars; I just enjoy seeing these filmmakers get together.

This is kind of a popular unpopular opinion, but I can't stand Game Grumps. For one, when Jon and Arin started the channel, it took them from their original talents. Jon was fine with his fairly unique sense of humor and style in his videos. Arin was a fairly talented animator. I enjoyed his Metal Gear Awesome cartoons on Newgrounds. But with them together, I just didn't think they had good chemistry.

I was actually happy when Jon broke away from Game Grumps because that meant that he was going to make more content on his channel. He's good by himself anyways. It's hard to explain, he's loud, but he's also hilarious. I'm a fan of visual jokes, something Jon is great at.

But that was when Game Grumps got worse.

Danny, Ross, Berry and Susie got into the channel and started producing Steam Train, which initially had Ross and Danny. But they sucked even worse than Jon and Arin. They were kind of boring. I guess to spice things up on Steam Train, they had everyone else on Steam Train and it became sort of a rotating cast clusterfuck.

And then there's Table Flip. Like Steam Train, it had a rotating cast sans Susie and Berry, but they had other Youtubers come in. I guess I have the least amount of problems with the show, but it's also vapidly dull and boring.

I guess I hate Arin and Danny the most because their voices together can get grating, Arin's especially when he's yelling. Shit, why not just rename the channel Steam Train? Everyone gets to do a Let's Play, including the Grumps themselves.

All in all, they're unoriginal, misguided, and they're either loud and obnoxious, or loud and irritating. There is no middle.

-I think it's best for me to NOT be a part of a fandom. Anything I liked that has a fandom (MLP, Smash, etc) always has that amount of salt that makes me stray away.
-To be honest, I'm actually starting to stray away from bronies because of what I mentioned above, the in-jokes that found their way to the show, and their reactions to a lot of the controversies.
-Speaking of MLP, I think season 5 is my least favorite mostly because of what I mentioned: I feel the season's pandering to bronies way too much, from the 100th episode (which I still enjoyed) to other brony in-jokes and even some callbacks to previous seasons.

Now onto other ones not involving MLP
-I only watched Jojo's Bizarre Adventure so I could understand the jokes. The series itself doesn't really appeal to me.
-I don't think there should be a seventh generation for Pokémon.
-Game of Thrones isn't my kind of TV show. It feels like Attack on Titan for me: slow and plenty of people keep dying.
-I like dipping my fries in mayonnaise.
-I don't care about dubs vs subs. It's in the Ear of the Beholder, and it depends on the show. Sometimes I prefer the dub (ex. Fullmetal Alchemist), sometimes subs (ex. Lucky Star), and what I prefer: both (ex. Gurren Lagann, Kill la Kill, etc).

Hey look I'm not talking about ALL bronies here.

Sorry about that, my downvote was on accident. I see the karma on the forums hasn't been changed like it has on comments and images.

-While I do think Bernie Sanders is a genuinely nice man and is 10x better than Hillary I don't think he will make a good president since his ideas are way too idealistic like free college and healthcare because those ideas will fail since it would cost a lot of money along with taxing the rich which is also a bad idea since the corporations would just leave America and go to a country where they are not taxed like cigarette companies going to Indonesia which will thus increase the unemployment rate
-I honestly don't get the appeal of Dragon Ball Z since it is pretty meh to me
-I honestly am hyped for Suicide Squad more than all the other upcoming DC movies
-I think Age of Ultron is better than the first Avengers movie

- Discussions between a atheist and theist about religion are pointless, specially about god, it never helps with anything. (e.g. people screaming at each other "God exists!" and "God doesn't exists!" for 30 minutes).

- I don't like death penalty. The criminal should instead work as a slave in prison for the rest of his life.

- Repeating a action because most people did the same action, is a horrible action. You are a human being, you're conscious, think about your actions before doing it, you can't go back in time if you make mistakes. (e.g. "A lot of people did upvote this, i will upvote as well").

- The true beauty exists inside the person, not on her physical body.

- "Love at first sight" is a illusion.

- Manipulating people to keep order, peace and progress is acceptable.

- The past doesn't define who you are. You should be judged by your actions, not by your father actions. You shouldn't recieve benefits because your father had a "bad time" when he was alive.

I'm with you on those last two points.
Suicide Squad is the one I'm more interested in because we've seen Batman before, we've seen Superman before. The Suicide Squad is something fresh (heh, cuz Will Smith is Deadshot) and new.
And most of the criticisms of Age of Ultron were from the first film as well (too many one-liners). They also expected something else, all their criticisms are similar to Nintendo's E3 this year: they were disappointed that it's not what they expected. It's not what I expected, but I still call it a damn good film. Really, my only problems with AoU is that Ultron could've been developed better and that romance between Bruce Banner and Black Widow.

- Both Adventure Time and Star vs. The Forces of Evil are overrated piles of trash.

- Sonic '06 is a far superior game to SA2. In fact, the only Sonic games I like less than SA2 are Secret Rings and Sonic 1.

- Too many people treat Bill Nye like the ultimate authority of all things science, when in reality, he's merely a soap-boxing mouthpiece. Most of his education was in solely Mechanical Engineering and he's been rejected from NASA about a dozen times. He really has limited credibility.

- Gravity Falls is a decent show, but it would improve about 50% had the character of Mable never existed. I just find her more annoying than funny.

- Mega Man 9 is a terrible game, and the fact that I can't get a refund angers me. 10 was much better, but the whole "return to 8-bit for the sake of nostalgia" shit was entirely unnecessary and just lazy.

- Big Hero 6 is hardly any less bland, forgettable, and overrated than Frozen. Although, Tadashi's death was hilarious so it at least gave us that.

- Fanboy and Chum Chum wasn't that bad of a show to be honest.

- Not defending Hitler in anyway, but I don't get why everyone seems to think he was the worst thing that the 20th Century brought. Stalin had a far higher kill count and over in East Asia, the Japanese were raping, castrating, and hanging on steel hooks by the tongue many innocent Chinese citizens. Again, Hitler was still a colossal twat, but I just find it odd that he's the only atrocity of WW2 people acknowledge.

- I don't think Bernie Sanders would make a good president.

- Aside from the inclusion of Mega Man, Smash 4 was really a downgrade from Brawl.

I think that's all.

People like to poke fun at the new DMC Dante reboot for being 'edgy' but the original reincarnation of Dante was just as bad. Gigantic sword, white hair, dual-wielding two enormous guns, cheesy lines, etc. The whole fight scene in his office in DMC3 is one of the best examples of edge.

-The only person I feel legitimately deserves the "cuck" label is Anthony Burch as he actually was cuckold since he admitted to letting his wife cheat on him (apparently using some very strange form of "feminism" as an excuse for it), and karma bit him in the ass when his wife left him anyway (and took his Wii U with her). HOWEVER I really don't get the use of "cuck" for other people. The one I understand the absolute least is I've seen people use James Rolfe/AVGN in "cuck" images, like one that's a variation on "well meme'd my friend!" that says "well cuck'd my friend!" with James' face. As Patrick Star said, "I don't get it."

-The "console wars" fanboy elitism is just as bad now as it was in the early 90s when it was Sega vs Nintendo, only difference now is we've got the internet to make said elitism more vocal. That said I think fanboy elitism needs to just die already, all three of the console making companies said they hate how some gamers spend more time arguing over console sales numbers than playing games, and all of those companies are super chill with one another (for example, Sony's official PlayStation Twitter posted a message celebrating the NES' 30th anniversary and thanking that console for paving the way for the home console market, a huge far cry from the 90s mudslinging commercials of the time). Why am I labeling this as an "unpopular opinion"? I bet you if I tried saying this on a place like Neogaf or /v/ I'd get a bunch of said elitists making angry responses to what I'm saying, only further proving my point.

-Also anyone who uses "PC Master Race" unironically clearly doesn't get what a "joke" is, because that's what it's supposed to be: a joke. If you worship PC gaming as much as a console fanboy worships his or her company of choice, then you're just as bad as they are.

I really don’t get the use of “cuck” for other people.

As far as I can tell "cuck" is just the new "autism". Another derogatory buzzword that anons latch onto for a couple months, used for just about anything (I've seen cuck uttered as an expression of 'lol', just to give you an idea of how little care is being put into the meaning of the word)… before finally being forgotten when the next cool derogatory buzzword comes along. There's nothing to get

All the Reddit, Tumblr, DeviantArt, Imgur, Facebook, and Twitter posts on KYM should be replaced with 4chan, 8chan, and 9gag posts.

Since this is pretty recent…
- I list SAO as my number one alongside dotHack, Log Horizon, NGNL and Accel World
- I love my PS Vita and all its games to death
- Sonic Unleashed is most probably the best Sonic game I've played besides it being my first
- Sword Art Online Hollow Fragment is my first (and maybe favourite) JRPG I've played and finished
Well, that's that

-At this point, buying a PC for performance and graphics is pointless, since modern consoles are capable of graphics nearly as good at a tiny fraction of the price. PC has a lot of advantages in gaming, but its sheer power is rapidly losing relevance.
-Battlefront 3 looks like it'll be a good game, just not as good as Battlefront 2. By EA's standards it's fantastic; Battlefront has fared far better under EA than SimCity and Plants vs. Zombies did.
-I don't watch anime very often. The only three I've seen much of are TTGL, Spirited Away, and Totoro.
-Macs and OSX suck for anything beyond casual use, and I say that as a Mac user.
-Minecraft is boring, and Minecraft fanboys are awful.
-The minions movie was okay. It wasn't great, but it wasn't nearly as unbelievably horrible as people claim.
-I've recently played Batman: Arkham Origins and I've got pretty much the opposite opinion everyone else has. I think it was a pretty good game overall (albeit glitchy), but the boss fights were all boring for me except for the first Bane fight and the Firefly fight (the latter of which I think should have been the final boss).
-It really annoys me when people try to write "realistic" takes on the superhero genre, as if they're not dealing with an alien who dresses up in spandex and shoots lasers out of his eyes. Superheroes are inherently unrealistic.
-I usually don't like RPG gameplay because I hate dealing with random encounter after random encounter. I've tried to get into Final Fantasy and Earthbound, but they just feel tedious to play for me.

@Snickerway

At this point, buying a PC for performance and graphics is pointless, since modern consoles are capable of graphics nearly as good at a tiny fraction of the price. PC has a lot of advantages in gaming, but its sheer power is rapidly losing relevance.

There's also the fact that gaming graphics has sort of plateaued in this decade which destroys the whole argument of graphics being better on the PC.

Between 1990 to 2010, it seemed like graphical quality in vidya was exponentially increasing. Constantly pushing the envelope further and further. Games looked more and more realistic with each year.

At the forefront of this evolution was the PC. Games that constantly demanded more and more graphical power would heavily rely on the flexible PC system to keep up with the hardware requirements. It was good to be PC during this time, as the enthusiast could always ensure the best quality visual experience

But economically, this appeal to the bleeding edge had always been an unstable model. It has since collapsed

Games are now made for the common hardware, not the bleeding edge. Most games don't look any more visually stunning than ones from 5 years ago. There's little point trying to make your game the next big visual stunner when gameplay is the selling point for gamers, not graphics.

And that's great news for consoles. Games are now made to look good on consoles and their more standardized hardware, not PC's and their arbitrary mish-mash of whatever. The playing field just got leveled.

Well, that's that

I'm not surprised you like a SAO. Clearly you love the virtual reality genre (though NGNL isn't really one).

Anyways, on that note, I think SAO gets way too much hate. Is it good? Eh, the production values are good and it's OK overall. Its noy great, but it'sucks not terrible. People act like it is the worst shit ever made though, even going as far to say that twilight is a better love story. Bullshit, even if Kirito and Asuka aren't exactly my favorite couple ever in anime, they are at least supportive of one another and want the best for them. They are good people. Twilight is a fucked up romance about a manipulative bitch, a creepy old stalker, and a wolf.

PS Vita was a financial failure, but if you like japanese games, it's a very enjoyable system.

Something I forgot to mention earlier:

I support fracking. I recognise the environmental dangers it presents, but the alternative is buying more Saudi Arabian oil, and by proxy supporting an incredibly corrupt government responsible for some of the most hideous human rights abuses in the modern day. Almost any environmental damage is worth it if it hurts the Saudi government.

Anyways, on that note, I think SAO gets way too much hate. Is it good? Eh, the production values are good and it's OK overall. Its noy great, but it'sucks not terrible. People act like it is the worst shit ever made though, even going as far to say that twilight is a better love story. Bullshit, even if Kirito and Asuka aren't exactly my favorite couple ever in anime, they are at least supportive of one another and want the best for them. They are good people. Twilight is a fucked up romance about a manipulative bitch, a creepy old stalker, and a wolf.

PS Vita was a financial failure, but if you like japanese games, it's a very enjoyable system.

It should be unsurprising by now about the fact that I like SAO

Well I'm not sure whether I can trust VGChartz but it did sell better than the Wii U in Europe (also better than XBO by 1, 000(this week I guess)) and in Japan or remaining second or third on Media Create

But of course this wouldn't change it being a financial failure

-The anti-SJW circlejerk on KYM annoys me.

-Pro-GGers let their pedestals break way too easily when people they liked announced they were anti-GG.

- This probably isn't an unpopular opinion, but I hate the Saudi Arabian government (what did you expect from an Iranian?). It really annoys me how they treat their people like shit, yet the US is still allies with them for their oil.

I truly find it hard to believe there is such a thing as an artist's vision in any big production, and believe the only way you can truly see an artist's true work is if it's completely independent.

I'm perfectly fine with the removal of the bikinis and lingerie outfits in Fatal Frame 5, and find all the self entitled douche bags claiming NOA ruined the game because of it not even worth changing anything over. It's just one of those things that makes me hate the current state of Nintendo "fans" and it feels like I'm surrounded by herds of LegendaryLankMen when I see shit like this.

I cannot for the life of me enjoy anything original from Joss Whedon or JJ Abrams, but did find myself mildly enjoying The Avengers and Star Trek at least.

-I dislike most metal music.

-It's gotten to the point where Atheist extremists have become 10x more annoying than religious extremists. It's even worse because there are some who only identify as Atheist to be "rebellious" or because it's the "cool thing" to be on the internet.

-If your first language is English and you don’t have some kind of disability or condition that limits your language abilities, you have literally no excuse for being shitty at spelling and/or grammar. A few minor typos and mistakes are fine but being a fluent english speaker and past the age of 12, and still mistaking their, they're, and there is utterly unacceptable.

-I think pointing out that someone is quiet and saying “why don’t you talk” in front of a lot of people is extremely rude.

-I don't give half a shit about GamerGate. From what I've seen both sides of the argument are pure cancer.

-You do not need to have sex.

-Spanking children is not child abuse.

-The idea of a gender spectrum relies heavily on gender roles and for this reason is hurtful to society. Saying a woman is "masculine" so therefore she must be gender fluid or a different gender than female implies that there is one set state of masculinity and femininity.

2001: A Space Odyssey was an awful movie that had some brilliant parts.

Even though 2001 is my favorite film of all time I actually agree. However one needs to keep in mind it was made in 1968; for a film made in 1968 it was incredible; on the other hand there's parts where it drags on for wayyy too fucking long with nothing happening. My main gripe with it was that the ending cut out the dialogue from the book. There's leaving stuff ambiguous. . and then there's just gutting a story.

Unpopular opinion: I think furries might be a popular thing in a couple years. However the fandom isn't popular. There's a lot of interest in furry characters, however there's very little interest in the fandom. What I mean by this can be used with another fandom as an analogy; my little pony is super popular, but bronies as a fandom don't have nearly as many members as the number of people that watch the show (keep in mind I'm not saying the two are the same, rather I'm just using the two as an analogy). There's a lot of interest in furry characters by people that aren't a part of the furry fandom.

My unpopular opinions
-I kind of like Nickleback. Now, I'm not a huge fan of them, but…..I don't think they're horrible.
-I think Sword Art Online is the worst anime ever created. I fucking hate the show with a passion, to the point where seeing ANYTHING about it makes me visibly angry.
-I don't like Halloween. The reason for this is because I went to a store that seemed to just suck all the fun and enjoyment out of the holiday (it's called Spirit. They had a shit ton of those sexy outfits, scary and disturbing props right next to the kid costumes, and it just made me realize how every holiday has become marketed to Hell and back)
-I will never watch Steven Universe (i'm not sure if this an unpopular opinion, but I'll just say it). The biggest reason is because of all the events that have happened recently.
-Master of Disguise was once my favorite movie.
-I used to really enjoy Adam Sandler
-I don't like the recent seasons of Adventure Time. I think they ruined Finn, and it's just way too serious now.
-I think Gravity Falls is okay.
-I don't like Deus Ex One. I can't get past the first part, and it's just confusing.
-I don't like MGS2. The main reason is because of the controls and the camera.

There might be more opinions I have, I just can't think of any more right now.

- I prefer dubs over subs (usually). Basically if I was given the option to view an anime English dub over the original Japanese, 9 times out of 10 I'll watch the dub. Which leads me to the next point:

- Anime dubs aren't that bad. I'd actually say most are pretty good, or decent at the very least. Hell, I'll even say dubs have gotten better over the years.

- The Star Wars prequels weren't that bad.

- I liked MGSV's ending (or at the very least found it satisfactory).

- I don't really care for Steven Universe. Or Monster Musume (though I'm sure if I tried to watch them, I'd actually get into them).

- I like Korrasami and I thought it was executed fine.

- For Game Grumps, I prefer the Arin and Jon dynamic more than the Arin and Danny dynamic. I feel that Arin tries way too hard with his humor when he's paired up with an absolute Straight Man like Danny. Arin is better playing the Straight Man than the Wise Guy. Also, Suzy is okay, I guess.
