Heeere we goooo:

- Nirvana suck even compared to the other grunge band of the nineties, and I am sick of seeing them popping up in "best fucking everything in music of all time". Their lyrics are at best nonsensical and they have success only because teenagers love to feel and look edgy and depressed.

- Silent Hill 3 is overvalued and Heather has my nomination for "most annoying lead videogame character who isn't Bubsy". Meanwhile, Homecoming doesn't deserve the hate it gets, and Downpour could have saved the series if the fans didn't act like massive dicks (and Konami didn't suck).

- Radical atheists ARE as annoying as fundamental christians. Your "I trust reason" schtick is old as des Cartes and no amount of snark and quoting Russell or whomever hides that. And please, pleeease stop using this comic:

This is coming from an atheist, by the way.

- Nintendo should stop forcing their sub-par hardware on people. Their games are excellent, but the last decent console they made was the Game Cube. Remaining on the subject, I don't get why they get a free pass every time they make terrible use of one of their licenses.

- New Vegas is worse than both Fallout 3 and 4, especially from a gameplay standpoint.

- The problem with the prequel trilogy isn't that there are too many dialogues about politics, but that George Lucas can't write good dialogues about politics.

- Inglorious Basterds is an awful movie.

- The first two seasons of Glee weren't that bad.

@Friend Computer

One thing I agree with you on is Downpour. Some technical hiccups aside (the framerate gets jittery when you're out in the town), Downpour was actually pretty excellent with a well made story, interesting characters, a lot of atmosphere that genuinely made me feel creeped out, the addition of side quests was actually pretty neat, and overall I just really enjoyed the journey. Even one of my favorite LP groups, the Super Best Friends, are part of the "I hate this game because it's a Western made Silent Hill" group (the only Western made SH they actually like is Shattered Memories, and I like that game too, but they said for them it's more along the lines of "it's a great horror adventure game, but a terrible Silent Hill").

Sorry if I already said this before, but the only new unpopular opinion I can contribute right now is "I honestly think DmC: Devil May Cry is a pretty good game." I firmly believe that if it didn't have the Devil May Cry name attached to it then people wouldn't shit on that game nearly as much, because really I feel it's a very well made hack-n-slash with plenty of combo opportunities, skill building, great combat, good music, and nice level design.

I can't appreciate RWBY, or any of Mounty Oum's similar works. As much as I like fast-paced fight scenes he puts the choreography in fight choreography; the fights don't actually look like fights but more like dancing. There's no emphasis on the characters' sense of balance, reflex, or impact of the hits; they get knocked back by a kick that launches them a few yards away then stand right back up doing a cartwheel.

Silent Hill 3 is overvalued and Heather has my nomination for “most annoying lead videogame character who isn’t Bubsy”.

now that's some REAL fucking heresy

penguinz0/Cr1tikal and Filthy Frank were better when they were less popular.
I don't really care for Jojo's Bizarre Adventure (and some of its fans can be quite annoying here on KYM).

Well, put me on a pyre and burn me. I find her just irritating; every single thing she does, from the little comments on the environment to the way she acts, makes me cringe a little bit. It just rubs me the wrong way (even though the emotional moments about Harry are well done).

Other things I don't like: the exposition dump mid-game, some of the monsters design (PENIS BOSS), the first half is really weak, the maps and the fact that I am completely unable to find them (and I don't have that issue with any other game of the series).
Which is unfortunate, because the level design is excellent, probably the best in the series, and the rest of the cast is really good, but Heather really is the deal-breaker for me.

All the Smash Bros. DLC characters were disappointing. I just wanted K. Rool and Inklings.

I personally believe that The Living Tombstone makes shitty music. His original songs are crap, and his remixes of actual good songs are completely dreadful.

Far Cry got better when the series basically became an open world action-adventure series under UbiSoft Montreal. Far Cry 1's not a bad game but, despite how big the environments are, the game is still a pretty linear FPS, and Crytek frankly does a pretty crappy job trying to properly balance difficulty as "Medium" feels more like "Hard" to the point where I feel like the game is only kind of "fair" on the easiest difficulty setting (you're talking to someone who honestly didn't find Dark Souls to be as "balls to the wall hard" as people made it out to be, I'd like to think I've got a good idea on what counts as "fair" difficulty and what counts as "cheap as fuck"). Also the sudden shift from fighting mercenaries to fighting mutants just doesn't work as well as Crytek probably thought it did (Crysis, Crytek's later series, kinda sorta fixed this with the Ceph, though Crysis 1's Ceph battles can be kinda annoying too).

So yeah I'm basically saying Far Cry 1 is the weakest game in the Far Cry series in spite of it being the one some older fans consider the "best," and the later ones are much better.

Pantera is shitty redneck garbage that ruined the metal scene with countless bands adding groove metal to their sound

As a Texan metalhead, this comment kinda broke my heart.

I think it is unfair that some people are judged because they like to watch or create NSFW art featuring underaged characters. Why would I feel sympathy for them, you ask? Well, one reason is that said underaged characters are just that; they are fictional characters with no real emotions. Anything despicable you can do to a character, it doesn't really matter in the end, since the acts committed were applied in a fictional world where no actual lives can be ruined. A lot of people today seem to agree that enjoying violence in video games and films does not make you a potential murderer, but if the theme is sexualising underage characters, all rationality is tossed out the window, and people are quick to label those enjoying that type of thing as pedophiles. I play a lot of violent games and watch series like Breaking Bad, but does that automatically make me a drug dealer who drives over people and shoots them down while simultaneously flipping them off? No. Does looking at NSFW art or straight-up porn of fictional child characters automatically make me a pedophile? Still no. People tend to enjoy witnessing extreme forms of activities in fictional works because the laws of the real world do not apply to the laws of the fictional world. People have some sort of desire that they like to fulfill in the fictional world, but they also know full well that they cannot enjoy that desire in the real world, whether it is because they fear the consequences or they simply feel that it is morally wrong.

Sorry about the wall of text, I just wanted to get this off of my chest.

Game Grumps was (even with jontron before he left) never funny to me

Anti-moe/"I only watch manly anime!" people are as annoying to me as anti-bronies and anti-furries.

Yeah I like slice-of-life, it's chill and helps me relax after stressful work. I don't care if you think it somehow ruins or is invading your totally separate genre (which it's not btw).

• On a similar note to Eglamore's post, I'm sick of people who take versus battles uber-seriously and constantly jerk off their favorite characters. You see it a lot with "manime" fans, who insist Saitama/Goku/etc. could beat literally anyone and bitch and moan if someone suggests their precious fave could be defeated. They're the kind of people who make every Death Battle discussion into a shitstorm.

• Some OSTs just sound monotonous to me. The Bayonetta and Xenoblade soundtracks, for instance, sound like 25 variants of the same song for the most part. They're not necessarily bad, they just lack variety.

I say this constantly but it bares repeating, I too really hate this elitist attitude the fans of some works display. I think it's worse when you can't tell if something is a joke or not, like someone posted a picture on this site a while back that got a lot of views and upvotes that was a photoshopped version of the infamous "No Russian" mission from Modern Warfare 2, with the terrorist's faces replaced with that of characters like Jotaro, Saitama, and Kenshiro, and the innocent civilians replaced with characters from stuff like Monster Musume and the like. I couldn't tell if this was a joke about "manime" elitist fans or completely serious (for one the maker of that image put the faces of said "manime" characters on that of the BAD GUYS from that game, and would said protagonists kill innocents?).

Like here's the thing: do you just simply prefer action shows like Jojo and One Punch Man over slice of life? That's fine. But seriously don't be a dick about it to people who do like slice of life.

I don't find Honest Trailers funny at all.

Undertale is overpraised in my opinion. (I actually liked the game)

I personally didn't like Digibro that much, mainly because I can't stand his hatred toward A-1 Pictures.

I'm not saying A-1 Pictures is my favorite animation studio, what I'm trying to say is peoples that worked at animation studio animate. Outside of animation errors, they probably weren't responsible for why the series is terrible.

-radiohead is an amazing band.
-Hellsing isn't all that good, though I like the original TV series.
-Part 4 (hey there's your slice of life guys) and up are the actually good JoJo parts, modt JoJo fans are Crusaderfags and they are annoying.
-i don't entirely disagree with all feminists, especially on the issue of racism and trans stuff. I still don't like BLM and the concept of safe spaces tho.
-most future funk is legit good.
-i am unironically a meme music nerd so I'm already pretty unpopular.
-moe is great and makes me happy when I am sad.
-bishonen isn't overused, just used improperly a lot the time.
-undertale's fandom is pure irredeemable shit.
-"you're too PC" is sometimes more like "you're just trying not to be an asshole"
-most anime is good, not shit. i actually like ergo proxy even more than JoJo.
-animal collective is mediocre.
-Filthy Frank or H3H3 were never all that funny. The first is crazy, the second is idk, that's the only joke.

and this'll get me banned…
-i like one piece.

I actually don't like Anime that much.
See, I was raised in a rather sheltered life. That fact is I'm only now starting to actually have my eyes opened to social media. Not to mention that on both my mom's and my dad's side of my family both my grandfathers were in World War II. On my mom's side, he saw what the Japanese did firsthand and when he got back he basically forbade anything Japanese related in my mom's house. This feeling passed over to my mom and when I was a child just starting to watch Pokemon my mom turned it off immediately. My dad on the other hand, even though he is rather…rigid, he doesn't harbor the same resentment towards the Japanese as my mom's family does, and actually likes their food (my mom hates it). I still don't think he'd agree with anime, but that's just because he never really bothered to watch it since he works long hours. So then it comes down to me. I don't harbor any resent towards the Japanese at all, but I just don't feel I could get interested into anything anime-related, and for awhile I actually would often fervently avoid anything anime-related because my mom didn't tell me why she hated it, and so I just thought it was bad. I feel like the point for me to ever be interested in it has long since past, but I'm content with it. The main passion I have is science fiction movies and tv shows, because they were also coincidentally my father's passion too. And to be honest, I don't really watch TV that much anymore.

Posting this on every single article with a -gate in the name stopped being funny a long time ago.

SAO haters are just as bad as SAO fans.

The best of a fandoms haters are always worst than the worst of the fandom they hate.
This needs to be an internet law or sometning.

Complaining about watermarks on KYM uploads is silly – KYM chronicles memes and subculture, they are not our original content. An image having an watermark does nothing other than show it was uploaded somewhere else first, which is fine because basically all of this site's content is from somewhere else and should ideally be sourced.

IDC if you think 9gag is cancer or humour thieving, seeing its watermark on the bottom of an image does nothing other than show it came through an internet grapevine … that's necessary for KYM's purposes.

this isn't true at all however.

just look at UC Gundam.

Here's one:

I believe game companies should only show essential and new gameplay elements and little teasers to get people interested before the game is actually released. Knowing every surprise and detail before hand ruins the experience.

I hate when people call any character in a fighting games OP or broken when are not OP or Broken especially in Smash Bros community everyone is saying "Corrin and Bayonetta are OP" when reality are not Bayonetta i see her as high tier and corrin as mid tier character, this shit always happen first was with little mac becuase his K.O. mechanic makes him OP few months then everyone was wow his recovery sucks later was Roy "he is OP" then was huh is very average, then the whole went with cloud and the same story happen.

The Beatles are overrated.

Kanye West's new albums are pretty bad
To Pimp a Butterfly is overhyped
The Life of Pi(movie) was shit
Adventure Time was always boring
the Devil and God are Raging Inside Me is a garbage album
the production on Loveless is shit
also the vocals in Jane Doe ruin the entire album

I genuinely enjoy this song. I'm not sure if this is really an unpopular opinion, but I'll say it anyway.

I don't think Leonardo DiCaprio deserved to win best actor. All he did was have an angry face throughout the movie and breath really heavily. He had pretty much no emotional range throughout the entire film.

@Burgundy
I actually like that song too, it's just very chill/relaxing. Macintosh Plus and Blank Banshee are two vaporwave artists I actually rather like listening to, and there are assorted tracks from other artists I like.

Anyway an actual contribution from me:

While I do like Vass from Far Cry 3, so far I'm finding Pagan Min from Far Cry 4 more of interesting villain. One big reason is because of his very charismatic attitude. Dude knows damn well he's a ruthless dictator and is enjoying every second of it, and he chimes in on the radio every now and then to speak to you about himself and his past.

I'm mainly labeling this as "unpopular" because I know there are Far Cry fans out there who always like to say Vass is the series' most interesting villain, and while I do agree that he's certainly a good villain character (his voice actor also does a great performance), I find myself leaning more in favor of Pagan Min.

I'm getting real tired of cringe channels and such. The concept of intentionally searching of negativity just baffles me. More people should search things they like, not what they dislike.

On the less serious note, I never saw Ryuko as edgy ever.

Edge La Edge is just a joke.

She has a reason to be miffed constantly.

On a similar note, I genuinely like "Bring Me To Life." Its lyrics are laughably whiny and melodramatic, but I still think it's catchy.

Bumping this thread with another opinion

-I actually find Cinema Snob funnier than Nostalgia Critic.

As much as I hate the idea of Hillary Clinton as president, I kind of hope she destroys Trump in the general election as punishment for conservatives who betrayed their principals for a theatrical impostor.

I kinda don't like Spiderman doing the squint eye thing in the latest Civil War trailer. How does that even work? I preferred the costume where his eye holes were protected by shades.

• I think a game (or movie or show or anything else for that matter) should never be classified as "overrated" or "underrated", and a description like that should never affect any sort of rating, score or judgement it receives. It should be judged based on its own merits and not relative to the opinions of other people.

• Related to the above, hating on something because you don't like the people that like it makes no sense. Guilt by association is a fucking stupid concept.

• I find top 10s (or any other number) absolutely worthless. Instead of celebrating each entry on its own, it turns into a stupid popularity contest.

• Sonic Unleashed was alright and I kinda liked the werehog stages.

• I don't like most open-world games. I lose interest fairly quickly because there isn't really an end goal, there is nothing to work towards, everything is just…there.

• I don't mind or condemn weird fetishes and stuff. Live and let live. As long as they're not hurting anyone I don't see a reason to get salty over that shit.

• Most of the time I'm more interested in the PvE than the PvP in MMOs.

• Granberia is best waifu.

-I hated the season 2 finale of Rick and Morty.
-Gamergate Life pretty much panders to pro-GGers.

Isn't that the point?

I used to really enjoy Homestuck, but now I honestly don't know what I think about it. I mean, there are still parts of it I still kind of enjoy (aka I still like Aradia), but there's a lot of other stuff that just makes it hard to get back into it (the massive walls of text, the downright awful fanbase, the fact that I physically cringe when I remember all the stuff I did when I was a Homestuck fan, etc).

-I'm starting to prefer Trump over Hillary. Sure, he's racist and unprofessional, but people are getting tired of the U.S. establishment, and are desperate enough to support him.

I honestly don't like this song. Sure, it's considered a good song by millions of people, but I just don't get the appeal.

While I will admit the fans are bad, I actually like Pewdiepie and his content, especially when he doesnt do horror. He always leaves me feeling happy and that everything is gonna be alright.

While I like Markiplier as a person, I dont think he has a voice cut out for hysteric screaming.

Part 3 Jotaro is bland.

Cringe commentators of severely close-minded disposition are worse than the people they mock.

I prefer my waifu's tough and looking like they actually graduated middle/high school.

Tsunderes can go jump on a wooden pike.
