- Manga is vastly inferior to western comics
- Dragonball gets too much shit for some of the fanbase, it's nowhere near Sonic level
- Slice of Life anime and moe anime are just boring as fuck and most wacky, silly comedy animes try way too hard and usually have to many perv jokes
- The Clone Saga wasn't that bad
- Joe Quesada > Post Dying Wish Dan Slott
- Ms Marvel is a pretty crappy book, and I think people say it's amazing just because it's a muslim teenage girl as the protagonist
- I like Falcon (Sam Wilson) as Captain America because it makes sense Cap chose him, but I don't want it to be permanent
- Wolverine may be dead longer then we think, even if they are milking him to oblivion
- Kyle Rainer is the best Green Lantern
- John Stewart is 1 dimensional and overrated
- Spider-Man 3 > TASM 2 > TASM
- While the games are great, the choices you make in TellTale games are worthless
- Journey is a really bad game, it is pretentious and not really artistic to me
- Guild Wars 2 > World of Warcraft

A second one of these threads was completely unnecessary, mainly because at least 90% of this crap is direct repetition of that one, as was certainly going to be the case from the get-go. In addition, all of the very obviously not-unpopular opinions here make it just kind of obnoxious.

Well, if that's what people are doing, then I might as well join in. As I said all those months ago, I believe that the entire human race is inherently selfish, schadenfreude-loving, and just overall a bunch of assholes. It's mostly a production of evolution, i.e. for survival, and turns most- if not all- individuals into giant hypocrites. Thus, it's much more important to recognize your faults (and have a good sense of humor about them) then to try and go on the fool's errand of being perfectly nice and charitable all the time.

Got more:

-I hate FF4.
-I never watch anime subs (except for AoT, that was OK). Since the voices are japanese (obviously), it sounds very alien to me.
-I like Irategamer's old stuff, it got me into the "rage at stuff" side of YouTube (Normal Boots, TGWTG, and more)
-I think Melee doesn't deserve the praise. It's good, but it's now similar to those early access games on Steam, good, but not as good as it could be.
-I don't mind Microsoft owning Mojang, the regular team is still there (except for Notch), so it's not like they're EAing them.
-I despise rule 34 in any form.
-SJWs in GameGate aren't completely wrong. Some games wouldn't hurt with some extra, non-fanservice type female characters (I know there's a lot, but how many in popular games can you name). Of course, adding gay/trans characters is still unnecessary (they'd still be the same character, regardless of orientation), IMO.

What's with the downvotes? I know he's just complaining about the topic, but doesn't that technically make it an unpopular opinion?

Considering how many of us use this, I'd say so.

- Even though I prefer to choose women based on personality over assets, I have to say boobs and asses are overrated with legs being my choice for the sexiest part on a woman.
- 4Kids had some decent to okay territory dubs (Pokemon, Ultimate Muscle, Kirby Right Back at Ya!, etc.), that being said their dub of One Piece is still shit.
- Advance Wars is better than Fire Emblem.
- I hate when LGBT characters are shoehorned into anything just to appeal to the LGBT audience. I feel this adds unnecessary characters and only makes them get targeted more because of how big of a deal people make of the subject than what needs to be said. It's funny to say Birdo and Juri might be the best written LGBT characters in gaming because of that.
- I actually think Arin might be what's killing Game Grumps. When Jon left, I was a bit upset, but I opened up to Danny and really enjoyed him along with Ross, and later on Barry. I have noticed recently just how much Arin can just be straight up annoying and has little-to-no chemistry with anyone on the show anymore, and find myself waiting forever for an episode or series he isn't in. I'm not even going to mention Suzy as that's a pretty popular opinion.

Especially since it was even banned (or cancelled)

"- Advance Wars is better than Fire Emblem."

Nah, it's fine. Looks pretty good actually.

I have absolutely no problem with any fetish that is not very likely to inspire a justifiably illegal and heinous act, and in fact encourage people to express theirs no matter how bizarre for the sake of both reinforcing our First Amendment right and seeking peace and happiness.

Damn I'm posting a lot. I guess it's just fun.

- Dubs>>>>>>>>subs
- While some users above are complaining about LGBT characters being shoved into entertainment, I think there needs to be more and in bigger things. However, as Nintendylan said, the best are not forced in for political correctness but blend with the plot and the other characters naturally, which I think is the case for representation in media overall. Women, minorities, LGBT, etc. need to have more representation, it just shouldn't feel forced. I especially want some really important LGBT characters that eliminate stereotypes. Many people have stereotypes about these people ingrained into their subconscious without realizing it and I think they would help advance the movement by a lot if done right.
- On that topic, I don't care about Dumbledore being canonically gay unlike many who were confused. Even though in the actual story he pretty much didn't even show a sexuality, I think Rowling's choice was fine. And it wasn't a last minute choice like many people think. Rowling has said that she's seen him as gay almost since his inception.
- More Game Grumps stuff. Danny>>>>>>Jontron. Jon makes good content on his channel but for live commentary and stuff Danny's a genius. I've already shared my opinion on Ego and Nintendylan has added some stuff I agree with about him above as well.
- Zelda needs voice acting that's good. Except Link of course. Never give him a voice ever. The only thing I'd be sad about here is losing Ganondorf's fantastic Japanese voice. I guess they could get someone to imitate his performance in English then. After all, there have been like 3 Ganon voices and they've all been really similar.

@Sam
I agree with the above poster that the problem isn't that the show doesn't have Jon anymore, the problem is Arin. He is annoying and seems to just keep getting louder in some vein attempt to be funny. I'd rather the show be Barry and Danny rather than Arin simply because they are more interesting together than Arin and Danny. At least Jon stood up to Arin's crap every once in a while and argued the good and the bad of a game rather than just 4 minutes in going "This game is fucking horrible!" and Danny who I think only goes with Arin because he doesn't have a lot of experience with games to begin with, agreeing without giving it a chance.

Also hate the Game Grump fans who just say "They aren't reviewing games! It doesn't matter if they get finish or talk about the game!". If that is true, why is it called >Game< Grumps. They play fucking video games, why shouldn't they talk about the game!? I'm not saying they should talk about nothing but the game, but they aren't talking about the games at all. its just Arin yelling "this game is poopy!" and Danny telling some interesting stories occasionally.

To be honest I can only watch Table flip anymore because that show is a lot more interesting especially with the guest stars who can be a breath of fresh air.

People bitch way too much about Game Grumps. For fuck's sake, it's just a couple of guys playing video games and shooting the shit- calm down! If you like one guy over another, that's fine, but why should anyone else care? It's not something you can "convince" them about. I've never seen such an innocent, meaningless, unimportant… "thing" cause such a fucking storm of controversy. Just watch the videos you like and don't watch the ones you don't like, because all of this has gotten really old.

Sorry for not being specific about comedy; i meant to say that i find most comedy's annoying; especially movies and the such; i don't really like movies; even then i tend to like older comedy's over new ones.
Also keeping on track!
-I don't like watching movies.
-I don't like superheros, in general; if you have powers you better damn earn them, also they make me feel bad about existing military, police force.
-I don't like cake; or pastries in general.
-Pepsi is better than cola.
-I'm exited for global warming; i'd be a mad max in the post-ecopocalyse world.
-I like literature.
-I fucking hate gamer culture, cartoon culture, or any of those nostalgia fags, like its good if you can spout out random game trivia, or be one of those people whose childhood is based on cartoons and the such; but i could care less about your shitty game trivia. Or pointless cartoon theory's.

- Nickelback is not as bad or generic as people want to make it seem. Yes, the singer's voice doesn't help with that generic description (though lets be honest, Disturbed's David Draiman and Ozzy's voices sound the same in their songs too but I don't see anyone complaining) but for the most part their songs are still catchy and can give me some rock out meoments (That "Edge of Revolution" is driving me nuts of catchy and "headbangy" it is)

- TNA is pure bulshit. Its amazing how I see people want to make me believe that TNA (which most of them know the televized TNA, not the half-NWA promotion of it) has better wrestling material than WWE "because we say wrestling". Even if TNA had some talents like Kurt Angle (who made himself in the WWE), AJ Styles and many more, most of them were shoehorned with bad storywriing thanks of the filthy hands of Vince Russo. Don't get surprised if tomorrow we see on Blu-Ray "The Rise and Death of TNA".
(P.S: Im seeing a lot of people not knowing jack shit of what I just wrote down there. Wrestling stuff)

- Justin Bieber is not as bad when you know people who sings that simply don't know how to sing, alongside repetitive and puke-inducing tunes.

- Justin Bieber is not as bad when you know people who sings that simply don’t know how to sing, alongside repetitive and puke-inducing tunes.

At least those terrible singers don't actually make songs.

The Game Grumps are all awful though.


Also unrelated but FNaF and FNaF 2 are not scary in the slightest (the dumb things actually look funny). The gameplay is also poor and generic with exclusively having just jumpscares, and they don't even work.

Hehe, let's give it a try.

I support all the International Monetary Fund actions and decisions, since they really know what to do and they really care about the people in the poor countries.

Windows Vista is the best OS ever made.

Capitalism rules. Wars and greed are part of our nature, after all, so we have no reasons to remove them.

Anarchism is nothing more than violence and disrespect to everybody. I prefer police-state governments.

Astrology is a science, not a superstition.

Empire Earth 3 is the best strategy game ever made. What better than having only 3 fractions, only 5 ages, cartoonist graphics, simple A.I., and units that makes jokes every single time?

"Cosmos: A SpaceTime Odyssey" is boring, with nothing interesting to show. Jersey Shore, on the other hand, is much better and more entertaining.

Michael Bay is way better than Stanley Kubrick. I want explosions!

Spread the love or burn in Hell. Love Jesus or he'll kick you to the hug of Satan and torture you for the rest of your live.

God hates homosexuals. And black people. And women. And… everything WE hate.

I never liked Lego. Legos are for idiots.

Simcity 4 sucks. I don't want to think and plan ahead. I prefer Call of Duty.

Electronic Arts really cares about its customers and doesn't treat them like money bags.

Josef Stalin and Adolf Hitler were very kind and sane persons.

"Avatar: The Last Airbender" series was awful, but the movie was awesome.

All women hates men, and all men are pigs.

Justin Bieber is much better than John Lennon.

I hate Blind Guardian. I prefer Nickelback.

The Venus Project is a heresy! A global society based on science, technology, and kindness? No way!

I love to see Fluttershy cry.

Vangelis is untalented. I prefer Nicki Minaj.

Science is an invention of Satan to destroy Christianity. Earth is 6,000 years old, dinosaurs never existed, and the Inquisition should be back.

Nostradamus is an reliable prophet.

All pieces of art in DevianArt are pieces of shit.

Irate Gamer is awesome, while the Angry Video Game Nerd sucks.

I think it's like comparing apples with oranges. They might be similar, but they are quite different actually. In the end, it's just a matter of taste IMO.

I don't know. I'll admit that I only have 5 manga series in my possession I find the layout is not as good (smaller pages with thicker books and reading it differently, but i'll excuse the latter because I know that its that way because of the culture that created it). I find that the paper quality is very poor in comparison, there is a lack of colour usually where as a ton of comics become way more beautiful in colour and most of all the art in comic books seem way more varied.

I am fond of and a reader of both, but I just think that Manga is much more limited.

Eh, these are actually supposed to be unpopular opinions you hold. This ain't Riff-Raff, son.

-While JonTron's own videos are internet milestones, post-Jon Game Grumps is vastly better. Danny works a lot better with this kind of thing (as a matter of fact, this is why the Tecmo Bowl episode is in my top five).

-In TF2, it isn't entirely about how you look. You kind of have to be good at the game. I'll teach you my pro Pyro skills.

-Limp Bizkit is a good band.

-I still listen to rappers like Jay-Z, Common, and occasionally Snoop Dogg (Or Snoop Lion, whichever he is now)
-I consider FNaF an excellent horror game that does what many horror games do not do now. The mass amount of internet overhype is likely what ruins it for many people.
- I never liked Egoraptor, nor did I like his animations and music videos. He's a good animator, but I just can't like his sense of humor.
- I think there should be a lot more racial diversity in gaming. Over the past decade I've only seen 4 major characters in a video game that are black, and only 6 that were of a different ethnicity than caucasian.
- Call me a tinfoil-hat wearer, but I seriously think the government his hiding something at Area 51.
- Abortion is fucking murder. If you don't want the kid, then you either should have put on proper protection, or just put them up for adoption; not just outright kill the kid!

Might as well add some.

While people are praising the new Fate, i personally thought ufotable was wasting their budget on too many unnecesary scenes. The plot feels stagnant at best and only started moving by episode 12.

Well since we are having this thread again, I might as well share with cringe for all in this merry time of year.

- Giving to charity out of trying to prove a point or doing it out of a popular push isn't right. To me, all it looks like is someone being peer pressured into giving someone else money. Charity is about giving it out of sacrifice, getting money back or expecting praise and reward ruins it's entire purpose, making it heartless.

- Shoehorning in gay or whatever the fuck characters is a weak reason to bring in support for your game for political reasons, making it cringeworthy and surreal. This is especially true in medieval settings.

- I think people are generally poor theologians, and that causes more problems then anything else when it comes down to social shit.

- The problem with our schools and education is a massive fetish for civil rights. It wasn't until the death of Nelson that I figured out he was a fucking co-founder of a terror faction in South Africa and all the shit that went down there from the tire burnings and near genocides. I think it is sick and wrong to attribute good words in the name of 'progress' under the guise of radical violence.

- I fucking think that curses and swear words should be used more often in my personal opinion, since no one cares about it's usage anyway. If it offends someone, then they can go somewhere else.

- I think the United States needs to separate it's states into smaller commonwealths for organization and have a drastic change in the organization of the government based on sound political reasoning, not 'muh feelings' and 'fuck politics' politics. We could solve more problems managing smaller factions then 50 angry states.

- I think a state like Mexico needs to die and be conquered, especially if it's problems are coming over and spilling blood in the southern states like Texas. I say invade the damn place, wipe out the problems it's having, and set up new estates so the problem doesn't happen again. If it's people can't control themselves and are being enslaved or worse by local cartels, then let Texas have them.

- I like Israel. I mean, if it wasn't obvious.

- People whom don't understand Islam both realistically and historically should be forced to take a history class. I tire of people saying it's a religion of peace. Fuck that shit. The entire point of the religion is conquest from beginning to end. Just because it has charity clauses in it doesn't mean it's peaceful.

- I like people wealthier then myself, and I respect people whom have earned it. I don't respect people whom squander their parent's legacy. In the same shoes, I think people's sudden 'fuck the rich' morality shifts suspiciously quickly, and it isn't because 'wealth corrupts'.

- A town's religion and culture should over cede certain laws. If a town is historically Christian, has political christian events, and hasn't done anything entirely wrong then they can place as many crosses on their mayor's front lawn. This would be the same with a muslim town or a shaman town or whatever. One piss ant atheist shouldn't make everyone infuriated because 'muh feelings'.

- I think police officers get to much shit for their duty, and people whom disrespect that authority deserve a slap on the head. These people put their life on the line constantly to make sure the law is protected, and getting furious with them when they accidentally bump some murderer's head on the side of the car makes me want to club cats out of burning rage.

- History is important, more so then math and even writing. People need to respect the sacrifices of our ancestors and understand what they did and why they did it. These people had lives to, and to me, it pisses on their graves using false information of the past to make radical assumptions. The worst crime is to revise past events for a political narrative.

- I think the entire damn debate over the borders is retarded and shouldn't even be talked about. They came over illegally? Get back in line and get your green card legitimately. There wouldn't be a problem if people did this in the first place. Its not racist, and it never will be.

- Our founding fathers had a lot of things to say, and saying any historical figure would support you and your political party now is simply retarded.

- I have Mac, and I enjoy it. I think.

- GoTG > Avengers
- Avengers: EMH > Justice League (JL tried to set up some stupid pairing and the Batwank was too much, and I really like Batman)
- I don't like Wonder Woman
- I have never watched Firefly and I never am planning on it either
- I do believe in some aspects Muslims are too pervasive in the UK. I tolerate them and their ways, but in cases where they try build super mosques in an area with 3 mosques already, or they force stores to sell halal meat (and remove non halal meat) to accommodate them, it is going way too far
- I do not believe in a deity, and I think it's kinda naive to believe in one, especially if you believe in the religious books as literal, where it clearly contradicts science and logic.
- People whom don’t understand Christianity both realistically and historically should be forced to take a history class. I tire of people saying it’s a religion of peace. Fuck that shit. The entire point of the religion is conquest from beginning to end. Just because it has charity clauses in it doesn’t mean it’s peaceful.

- GotG>Avengers (I'm glad I'm not alone on this)
- Elitist /pol/tard fucks like YNG are terrifying people and I dearly hope no one like them ever gets any political power at all. Overall anyone who believes in mass murder as a solution to problems is not someone I would like getting power. Not sure if YNG was serious or not but I'm just using him as an example anyways.
- Government and religion should be separate, but I don't really get pissed if there's a cross on a mayor's lawn or anything. You could say I'm fine with that opinion of Chickenhound's then. After all, it just kinda shows the history of an area. As long as it doesn't interfere with actual politics I don't care unlike lots of atheists.
- Religion should never be generalized. People's individual beliefs defer so greatly from person to person that generalizing their beliefs should never happen. Unless they're interpreting their text literally, a religious text should not be used to generalize the individual believers. Just because the Bible or the Quran or whatever have violence and prejudice in them doesn't mean you can assume that out of everyone who follows it. Not sure if this is unpopular, but people do this a lot so I'll just post it anyways.
- I don't get why anyone would want to be a guy. Being a lady is objectively better. Being a man is total ass. I'm sort of exaggerating, but I still do believe in this somewhat. It's not prejudice, just a preference.
-I never watched Game lf Thrones and I'm not planning to either.

I have another unpopular opinion. I am a Mexican, and while me and my family live in constant terror of the brutality of the cartels, it is damn better than being owned by texas. I mean, have any of you guys been to Texas? Goddamn

I have a hard time understanding sexual attraction at all a lot of the time.

Insurance commercials are cancer. They just turned into people competing for laughs rather than explaining really anything and generally are unfunny and just start stupid psudo-memes like "hump day"

I think America is only going to get worse till an uprising happens and the government gets restarted completely. Far too many corrupted people in power, way to many people who have no scientific understanding making judgement calls about science, and way to much too much bending of laws specifically for some cases.

I feel like humans prefer to remember the bad things a person did rather than what lead to them, or the good things it might have done.

Horror focuses way to much on jump scares rather than real fear and dread. Rather than building atmosphere and tension, they prefer to just have a scary voice with loud bangs.

Every political party other than Republican and Democrat is pointless. No one is going to vote for them. Unless they force a third party to the levels of republican and democrat there might as well just have 2 parties.

Communism is a great idea and government system. The only reason it fails is because it requires a higher power to enforce it and humanity is greedy by nature.

Nintendo RPGs need more direction. A simple book with a "I need to go to X to stop Y" would be vastly improve them, rather than the current system of having to talk, remember the place, then go there. I don't understand why you wouldn't have something like this. You get halfway there, need to rest, come back, forget where you are going and either go back or guess.

I don't understand the "Don't become a statistic" comment people make when talking about stuff like drunk driving. You are always, and will always be a statistic. Being born makes you a statistic of successfully born babies. It just doesn't make any sense.

some of these opinions are way too fucking obvious in showing they are bait man.

and other arent even that unpopular, should just be called "post your opinions on random stuff"

I like Tumblr. It's a fun website with cool stuff on it.
However, I wish it didn't have such an overtly feminist undertone to it all the time.
Like, there's these posts that say stuff like "No woman owes you sex," and all this kinda stuff that's seemingly directed at antagonising men in general.
1, that's awkward for me because I'm a total homo, and 2, if you want equality you should say "No person owes you sex." Same message, only more inclusive and with no misandric undertone.

Also, I thought Lightning Returns was awesome and that KH newbies should start with KH2.

- I find people who say "America is gonna fall" whenever something bad happens annoying. Because their almost always wrong. Trust me, american has a long way to go until we "fall".

- People who don't understand science shouldn't try to use it. Because when they do you get shit like astrology, scientific racism and Darwinism, and the organic food movement and many other types of food woo.

- I despise neo cons almost as much as i dislike sjw's

- I prefer stupid entertaining movies over smart boring ones. I don't care how intellectual and thought provoking your movie is, i go to the movies to be entertained and i sure as hell am not going to spend my money to go see some asshole contemplate the meaning of life for 3 hours

It is times like this where I'm glad we're friends.
I agree 100%.
As for more unpopular opinions:
- Yogurt is disgusting
- I hate war. Every positive is followed by three negatives and people die for no reason. It sickens me that people think that this is always a viable option.
- Superman is generic as fuck.
- People who look too deep into things annoy me.
- Fanfiction is the bane of my existence.
- "Otherkin" need serious mental help.

Hmm, let's see….

-Social media is stupid
-I actually like the Valley Girl stereotype… Y'know, minus the brainlessness and cattiness.
-Angelina Jolie/ Halle Berry/ Beyoncé are overrated.
- Athesists can be just as annoying as religious zealots.
- Abortion is still killing a baby to me.
- Pie is NASTEH
- Long slim legs aren't as desirable as long legs with thick thighs are slim lower legs…
- I like and accept Drag Queens… But I accept yet struggle to understand the appeal into to look completely masculine if you're a woman.

A second one of these threads was completely unnecessary, mainly because at least 90% of this crap is direct repetition of that one, as was certainly going to be the case from the get-go. In addition, all of the very obviously not-unpopular opinions here make it just kind of obnoxious.

Well, if that's what people are doing, then I might as well join in. As I said all those months ago, I believe that the entire human race is inherently selfish, schadenfreude-loving, and just overall a bunch of assholes. It's mostly a production of evolution, i.e. for survival, and turns most- if not all- individuals into giant hypocrites. Thus, it's much more important to recognize your faults (and have a good sense of humor about them) then to try and go on the fool's errand of being perfectly nice and charitable all the time.

Sure, you recognize your own faults, but you're rationalizing them away with nihilism rather than trying to solve them. Just because you can't rectify all your own faults doesn't mean you can't change some of them and better yourself in the process.

As for the actual tread topic…

-Harry Styles is actually a pretty good singer, and he's kinda cute, too.
-Overly difficult video games are shit. There is no fucking appeal to dying every five seconds.
-Horror movies/books/games are also, for the most part, shit. There is no fucking appeal to legions of flat characters dying every five seconds.
-If you don't know what "incorrigible" means, or you get "effect" and "affect" mixed up, that's fine. But if you can't master third-grade grammar rules (like the difference between "its" and "it's"), you are a moron and you don't deserve anyone's respect.
-Atheists who claim Christianity (or any other religion) is a religion of warfare are idiots implicitly accepting responsibility for the hundreds of millions of murders committed by Stalin and Mao Zedong.
-If you downvote posts in an unpopular opinion thread, you don't understand the point of the damn thread. You're supposed to disagree at least some of the time. Otherwise, they wouldn't be unpopular opinions, would they?
-I legitimately hate KYM, and I don't know why I keep coming back. Screencaps of funny Tumblr posts aren't worth dealing with this shitty userbase constantly.

-I still listen to rappers like Jay-Z, Common, and occasionally Snoop Dogg (Or Snoop Lion, whichever he is now)

The unpopular-ness in this opinion really depends if you mean their more recent stuff, or their earlier works tbh.

I didn't say that making the attempt at self-improvement isn't important, just comparatively less important, and specifically that you shouldn't set your goals too high in that department for the reasons I gave.
And to challenge one of your statements in return, whenever someone arguing against an atheist brings up Stalin, they either don't even bother to try and connect his beliefs to his actions, or do but just give some grade-A pathetic bullshit like "atheists don't care about life!" So it becomes meaningless- you might as well point out that he liked to put extra salt in his food too, therefore we should ban sodium chloride. On the other hand, Hitler (who is often also given as an example of an "evil atheist" against all evidence, because people) was on record as saying that he felt he was doing his Lord's work by exterminating the Jewish menace.
And do you know what all that means? Absolutely fucking nothing. Both of these guys were psychopaths in the extreme who would have probably come up with any mental reasoning necessary no matter the circumstance to bring themselves to commit those atrocities. It has jack shit to do with the arguments people are having today over the legitimacy of religion. So both sides need to just drop it.

You just contradicted your own earlier argument. You cited historical examples of Christians committing violence to "prove" that Christianity encourages violence, but now you're saying historical evidence has "jack shit to do with the arguments people are having today over the legitimacy of religion" because violent people in history would've been violent no matter what their beliefs?

As for Hitler, he wasn't either a Christian or an atheist, at least not openly. He replaced copies of the Bible in churches with Mein Kampf, for Pete's sake! He only ever claimed to be aligned with any particular belief system to further his own agenda. I have serious doubts he ever considered himself religious or an atheist.

No, I simply included the statement to make a point about how the arguments that many people make are incomplete, and then followed it up by admitting that the whole contended issue is actually irrelevant.
But to continue with that irrelevant issue, you're absolutely right that he could have just been manipulating people. On the other hand, he may have been completely honest when he said those things- they're both unfalsifiable, as… well no shit, the guy's been dead for almost seventy years.

- I think Greninja is the dumbest looking starter ever, and it takes absolutely 0 skill to use it, like that dumb bugger Talonflame. The simple fact that it might get banned to Ubers is nothing but pure bullshit in my eyes. That thing is frail as shit; the simple fact that Smogonites can't handle it is a testament to just how whiny the Smogon userbase can be. Besides, it has one role; try to sweep. Meanwhile starters with multiple roles get shoehorned (Torterra is a fantastic wall and a Bulky Wallbreaker and yet it is RU. Feraligater is an insane sweeper after a Dragon Dance and can run a Defensive set, or hell, a SD set, but it is NU. Seriously?)

-Despite the fact that this IS the unpopular opinion thread and I have no right to do so, some of the opinions these people have are so incredibly wrong, (and probably faked with the intention of causing a shit storm), that I struggle to restrain myself from downvoting some of these posts.

-I know that it's wrong to judge fat people and make them feel insecure about their bodies (I'm overweight myself), but, once you're over 300 pounds…. Don't give them shit about it, but focus more about getting them on a diet. Still say they're pretty/handsome if that's true, but they are simply too overweight to just let them be happy with the way they are, the health risks are worse than ever.

-Fuck its. IT SHOULD BE IT'S FOR EVERYTHING. AND NO ONE WILL STOP ME FOR TYPING OTHERWISE.

- (This opinion isn't unpopular here, but in some circles it is) Swearing does not mean your classless, or weakminded or stupid. At all. But you can overuse them.

- Internet friends aren't the same or as important as RL friends, but they do have some value.

- People who talk about their shitty lives on some vid on a song about depression aren't all whining are looking for attention. Sometimes they're just depressed.

- (This opinion isn't TOO unpopular but…) You should strive to understand as many groups as possible, and be as politically correct as possible. You wouldn't like it if someone stereotyped or misunderstood you!
- (This isn't TOO unpopular either) Girl gamers who refer to themselves are girl gamers or have a username that indicate their gender aren't all looking for attention.

- I don't care what the circumstances are, stop fucking saying things are retarded or gay or that someone is a faggot.

-The term salty needs to die. Raw too.

-Ironically, I think "bae" is adorable, but my opinion could be tainted by Once Upon a Time.

-Kid Icarus Uprising and Xenoblade Chronicles are really bad games, I hate them. Kid Icarus has awful cringey writing and Xenoblade's voice acting is awful.
-Attack on Titan is a fantastic show, I think at this point THAT'S the unpopular opinion seeing as everywhere I go everyone seems to blast it.
-I really don't see why "social justice warrior" is considered a bad term. I agree with a lot of feminist and social justice views, even the ones of, God forbid, Anita Sarkeesian.
-Following on from that, a lot of the opinions about LGBT characters in media in this thread sadden me, I don't understand why people are so against it. I would love to have more characters I can relate to.
-Five Nights At Freddies is a really cheap game, I don't understand why it exploded so much. Well I do, and leading on from that:
-I really don't get furries, as a subculture it just confuses me
- Anime >>>>> Manga

Let me say this, Snips and Snails are, the most over hated characters in the Brony community, they are hated due to voice, replacement, working with villain, and wished they don’t exist. But I think they (Snips, and Snails) have unnecessary hate , I will be going reasons, and saying about people arguments.
-I think the hate is unnecessary to these characters because there have always have been people who look awful when young, and look cool, bada**, and cute when grown, there’s always been people who become better then their young selves, so why hate them when we people don’t see these characters full potential, we don’t see them yet (at least in my opinion), so why hate them?
For agurments:
-“Their voices are awful”
True, but again not full potential. Also Snails sounds like Kermit The Frog, why not like that, he’s also from a actor who also voices a main character from a POPULAR Anime! I mean think about it guys.
-“I wish they don’t exist!” ( That’s not an argument really, but I putting on here anyway)
Well that’s harsh for those colts (Which are young), they are too young to be nonexistent, what it would have been me that’s like that?
-“They replace Derpy”
So that means, to maybe you guys that Twist replace Bonbon if Bonbon disappears then, so that means she shouldn’t exist. Also I don’t think they replace derpy because they have yet both appear in one, or two episodes, including Equestria Girls (one and two). Also there’s a difference between mental disorder, and being dumb, people.
-“They always work with the villain.”
Well not always, and true they do work with the villain (Well only once) but that doesn’t mean they are intentionally evil, they’re just mindless sheep.
-I feel like people don’t even care for these guys, and never give them a chance to shine, there’s still possibilities of these two, Snips will maybe be a great barber, while Snails will be a amazing Scientist.

- I dislike Yaoi and Yuri. They're just for straight people who think guy on guy/girl on girl is hot, and I don't consider it as true LGBT representation…

-the original manga is somehow less enjoyable than the anime.

-I hate Tsunderes.

-Japan is cool and all, but it's not the greatest place ever. Some of it's cultural viewpoints I really disagree with.

-Hershey's chocolate is cheap and gross.
