-I think that Adventure time was only good for the first 5 seasons and I consider anything after season 5 noncanon since the show tries to hard to be serious than usual
-I think that fanbases can make a show bad because if you haven't seen the show it can give you huge expectations but be turn out to be either mediocre or bad for me those shows are Steven Universe and Rick & Morty since they really aren't that good
-Most animated shows should stay away from politics since most of the time those shows inject the creators political views(Simpsons and Family Guy) but only some shows do it right like South Park, Robot Chicken, and to a lesser extent American Dad
-Not all Weeaboos and SJW's are bad since most of them are very comically misguided or are just plain clueless to the real world
-Mrenter is honestly the worst reviewer I have ever seen since he pretty much combines traits from other reviewers I dislike into one: Analyzing things way too deeply/Taking things seriously(MovieBob,Rantasmo), Forced Anger(Enraged Enr-I mean Angry Joe, Any AVGN clone), and thinking people should treat him like an expert critic(Anita Sarkeesian)

-I think Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD is actually a pretty good remake of stuff from the first two games (and third if you get the DLC) where the only real negative is I didn't care all that much for most of the newer non-90s or early-00s songs (I would have preferred sticking only to the older songs, but at least they put in some of the more memorable ones like When Worlds Collide, Superman, May 16, and Bring the Noise)

-People who are 100% serious about how they no longer want to buy Fatal Frame 5 or Xenoblade Chronicles X all because the games altered some of the more revealing costumes (because they're worn by minors) make me sad because I feel like they're only reinforcing the stereotype "most gamers are horny men who care more about eye candy than gameplay"

-Japanese/Korean SU fans are better than Western SU fans (I'm looking at you, Tumblr)

That's an unpopular opinion because…?

Oh, and I'll throw this opinion here:

-I don't think LISA is THAT good. It's not terrible but I find it very overrated.

-I admit this is only an unpopular opinion among specific circles, but yeah I admit it, I honestly do think Jeff Dunham is one of the funniest stand-up comedians presently active, and he's a great ventriloquist. Yeah sure he hasn't made many new characters since Achmed (he's even retired some old favorites like Melvin and Sweet Daddy D), but I still love all the interactions and new material he comes up with with his big staples like Walter, Peanut, Jose, and Achmed.

Uhh, wasn't it like just a week ago that the sjw side of the fandom harassed a girl and drove her to attempt suicide, and then acted like the victims?
I have yet to hear the "anti feminist" part do anything quite that malicious.

I don't like a lot of anime and I don't really like SU/Rick and Morty/Star vs the Forces of Evil all that much. Could never really get into them.
Also the only good seasons of American Horror Story are 2 and 3, with some aspects of 1, but they jumped the shark hard with ghost/human satan baby. And Tate sucks. I enjoyed watching his whiny ass get beat into the ground by a gay ghost.

I have a particular resentment towards Lisa Lombs. I feel that she is easily overrated by the KYM community. It is true, she has very Perspicacious understanding of the world, and I admire her for this. She has written well-informed, clever commentary for us to view, but because of these things is the reason as to why I "hate" her. Approximately 9 times out of 10, if you oppose her opinion (which is usually fact, don't get me wrong) she will destroy you in mere seconds. She is too Astute for a community that does not take the world 100% seriously.

taking *minor things seriously

I should have fixed that typo right away. Just needed to clear things up, anyway more unpopular opinions:

-I really loved the anime adaptions of Tokyo Ghoul and Akame ga Kill despite not following the mango
-FNAF is a mediocre horror series with some good ideas but it is not that bad or not that good
-I don't think Batman vs Superman will be a good movie because I feel that Warner Brothers is just rushing these DC movies out to catch up with Marvel and not really caring about quality

-I like eating at fast-food chains like McDonald's, Taco Bell, etc. Fast food's only bad for you if you eat it every single mealtime; you won't get fat for eating fast food once in awhile.

Lisa is fallible just like everyone else here. While I do think she is pretty well informed, you are giving her way too much credit.

I have my doubts that I give her much credit, as you suggest in your reply. Giving her too much credit would imply that I would be contradicting my personal opinion on Lisa. I describe my unpopular opinion based on viewing (and intertwined) commentary. She is, in my own thoughts, too resourceful for KYM (another personal opinion)

@pepsiman

giving someone too much credit doesnt necessarily mean contradicting your personal opinion. It just means giving more credit than is deserved. For example, I could honestly believe that Winston Churchill practically singlehandedly won the war, but I would be giving him too much credit.

-I'm not sure this is a unpopular opinion, but because I see hate for the newer seasons of Adventure Time on 4chan and here, I'm going to guess that liking the newer season of Adventure Time is unpopular?

-Never understood for hate for the Minions

-I don't like Spongebob (after-moive and post moive), but I did like his movies (1 and 2)

-I don't like Pokemon

- I actually like mobile games

- I actually like modern pop music

-most of these "unpopular opinions" aren't even unpopular.

@Starbot

-Never understood for hate for the Minions

I think the hate is more for the excessive Minions marketing and the cringey Minions fandom than anything else. From what I've heard, people think the Despicable Me movies were actually pretty good, and not many people give a shit about the Minions themselves.

Well, might as well get this off my chest
- I don't particularly like Undertale, it seems alright just maybe not my type of RPG and I slowly grow tired of it due to the abundance of photos in Trending Images
- while I like Steven Universe I do sort of feel that it's ridiculous that the show runs for 11 minutes and we wait a week for another episode. I guess maybe it's due to time constraints or keeping quality but they could just have back-to-back episodes like most cartoons or lengthen the episodes out to 22-23 minutes like Gravity Falls and Sym-Bionic Titan
Now that I'm out of the bad karma zone
- Equestria Girls was a great watch, I haven't seen anything girly in a long time actually besides Winx earlier this year, though I like Sunset Shimmer and Pinkie Pie's personalities since they remind me of Philia and Strea
- Mobile games can be extremely decent but it depends on the developer and what you're into. A good one is Rayark and their games
And now I lay in rest

- Also I forgot to add but which circle in hell did 60FPS come from, while it seems that it can pretty much make of break a game and it's gameplay mechanics it just feels like it's a must to consider a game "worth" playing. Hell I barely care when my FPS drops below 30 when playing MHP3rd on my laptop or playing Hollow Fragment

She never mentioned the "sjws" in her video about her attempt. If it really was the "sjws", she was also spurred on by a pet dying and a abusive family lfie.

But yeah, continue to use that to fuel your irrational hatred of all things social justice!

Continue irrationally defending a side that sends death and rape threats to someone because they don't like the way they draw something.

I'm sure those are the makings of a well-adjusted human being.

If you saw a snake bite a girl, would you need her to tell you that she was bitten before you accept what was in plain sight?

-Apologies if this one is a repeat, but the closer we get to the release of Fallout 4 the more I'm reminded of my dislike for elitist "I think the old ones were better and you suck for liking the newer entries" fans of both Fallout and Elder Scrolls. Why do I bring up both? For the former it's because these elitists almost never pass up an opportunity to complain about how some newer Fallout fans only got into the series thanks to the post-Bethesda games, and act like they're better because they played the originals back in the 90s on their Windows 95 or something. For the latter it's because it seems like anytime someone compares something in Fallout 4 to Skyrim you always get these groups of older Elder Scrolls fans who complain that Skyrim "dumbed down" the series, and berate anyone who says they like Skyrim.

Here's the thing, if you prefer the older games then really that's fine, just go play the older games and enjoy them, no one's taking those away. But when you start to act like a total dick to people who do happen to enjoy the newer Fallout or Elder Scrolls games, then I feel you're just being an elitist ass.

-I probably just had low expectations for MLP and really high expectations for the Legend of Korra, but I genuinely think MLP seasons 2-4 (they aired at the same time as TLoK,) got more things right and The Legend of Korra did a number of things wrong. It's no secret TLoK didn't live up to its predecessor, Avatar The Last Airbender, anyway.

-I got through 12 episodes of Star vs. The Forces of Evil and I'm afraid to say I'm yet to be impressed.

- In terms of their online content, the Independent is every bit as reactionary as the Daily Mail.

- I'm mixed on the Guardian, most of their columnists are cool if overly-sardonic, but some are plain moonbats

- Kanye West has a decently-sized vocabulary and can be quite lyrically articulate when he's really trying

- Ultimate Marvel is alright

Alright, one of my opinions has changed over time so I figured I gotta post about it here.

-I used to be neutral about Mr. Enter, that has changed. Even though I still dislike people like Clay and still agree with Enter about how cartoons shouldn't be shit even if they're made for kids, he's started to really, REALLY annoy me. He acts as if he wants to shoehorn in morals in every cartoon. Morals ain't bad, but not every cartoon needs one!

I actually didn't enjoy LOTR. I found it boring for a while, mostly because of how the conflict was built – good vs. evil, and the general "small group will destroy an evil overlord" trope.

Now, I know that it wasn't that big of a trope when he read it, and before you downvote this to hell, it's just my opinion. I didn't like it, but I understand why other people might.

-I actually find what happened in Paris to be long time coming.
-Western Europe views on foreign policy is atrocious, and their political stances utterly hypocritical.
-The US should pull out of the UN, and have it be disbanded.
-Most millennials have no clue about history, economics, statistics, or anything outside of their little bubble.
-Portal series is overrated.

- I think the general anime fan (not all, mind you,) has… bad questionable taste. This is why weekly released, poorly animated, and drawled out anime like One Piece and Bleach manged to become really popular. You have to be an anime connoisseur to find the short, really good ones where animation actually exists and episodes aren't just made up of one long arc that's immensely stretched out with panning and flashbacks.

Compared to cartoons, it's the good ones that make it big (Over the Garden Wall, Teen Titans, Steven Universe, etc) while the really bad ones remain obscure as it should be. (Unless you have an ironic following like Johnny Test, which is so bad it's infamous.)

- Also regarding my dislike of SVTFOE in my last post, it took me over 20 episodes (11 minutes each, so it's not as long as it sounds I guess) to say that it actually got better; you could say it had a really slow start. It's okay for now imo.

To be honest, One Piece and Bleach got popular because of the Manga. One Piece fans almost universally hate the anime because it is drawn out and poorly animated, and the Bleach anime actually died from it.

I'm growing tired of elitist Jojo and One Punch Man fans (actually lets just say any anime that features "muscle men" as a main character) who unrionically shit on people who happen to like anime that features more "moe" (or "cute") styled character designs. I mean okay sure everyone has different tastes and if moe styled designs aren't your thing that's fine, but it gets annoying when you're someone who NON-JOKINGLY is all like "stop watching this moe shit, watch a real anime like Jojo." If I wanna watch Lucky Star or play Neptunia I will.

(as an FYI: This isn't me shitting on anime that features "muscle men" characters, I can separate my annoyance with the more annoying fans from the shows themselves and the more level headed fans; I'm actually starting to get into Jojo, but I still need to watch One Punch Man as of this post)

That's pretty much how I feel too. This actually made me stray away from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. I mentioned in a previous post that I didn't get into it and that I only watched it for the memes/jokes from it. Plus, I do think the artstyle is odd, especially the character designs. Unique, but not to my liking. In reality, I just find it overhyped.

With the case of One Punch Man, I don't think it's overhyped--the only time I'll think it's overhyped is if it's being shoved in people's face everyday. Saitama himself, maybe but that's actually for good reason regarding the source material.

In truth, this kind of mentality is keeping me from watching Fist of the North Star, other than the fact that I think that show looks so ridiculous and weird.

Off the big three I've seen regarding the elitists Ms. Fortune was talking about, One Punch Man is the only one I've been getting into.

Another thing, I'm tired of hearing the phrase "X saved anime!" I know it's a joke, but that's another reason for overhyping something. Hell even Kill la Kill, admittedly one of my all time favorite anime, has been called that. Anime has never and will never be in danger (ESPECIALLY if all you see regarding anime is just the same high school, slice of life, cute girls anime)

Nah I jest. I think it's good but it suffers when the dialogue gets very fourth-wally and TVTropes esque.

I think multiculturalism is alright. And there's nothing wrong with celebrating diversity so long as harmful traditions and ideals are discouraged by the state.

Also, David Lynch's Dune was pretty good.

I'm fucking tired of these undertale images flooding the KYM image gallery. Hell, anytime the image gallery is flooded with images from something I haven't played/watched or just plain don't care for annoys me (can't forget when Steven Universe images and FNAF images flooded the image gallery, can't we?)

Unpopular? I believe that phrase perfectly describes on of the fundamental laws of the Internet.

Well shit, Einstein. Who'd have figured that?

Some more unpopular opinions
- All Fallout games are good if you are a oldfag and newfag except Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel.
- DBZ sagas wasn't that bad
- Mario should take a long rest
- Making online petitions about videogames is just a form of butthurt or salty example: the petitions about remove cloud from smash bros.
- I don't see why people want Shantae or Shovel Knight in smash bros.
- I can't stand the ironic fandoms they are so annoyining.
- I hate the X save the anime despise being a joke but some people took seriously Anime industry has never and will never be in danger if produce money.

The world needs more people like Donald Trump. i.e stating what they think and not being held down by being "nice". That way ideas can be judged on whether they work rather than on hurt feelings

People should stop complaining about recieving downvotes. Down votes don't censor you in anyway. People can still click on a buried post and see what you said which is why buried posts still get responses. Honestly, it sounds like you're trying to sound all high and mighty. Everyone is entitled to their opinion including opinions of other opinions

Im convinced that humans wont last 200 more years

The climate change summit wont change jack since no one will enforce the agreements

Tumblr's "rapid SJWs" are mostly trolls searching for easy fish to bait

Very few people actually believe rape is an "especially horrendoua" crime. Few take rape of men seriously (this enrages me to no end). Its more about violence against women who are considered more worthy of sympathy and rape is believed to only happen to them. Ergo rape is seen as a unique evil…….IMHO

I actually agree with a lot of what SJWs say (priviledge etc though I still believe misandry is possible on a case by case basis as is racism against white people) but despise the harrassment and defensive black and white thinking.

I have no problem with safe spaces as long as they stay out of other students way and keep to themselves.
