I personally perfer the term non-white when talking about race as a whole but for more individual cases, I find using the specific race name to be more useful. Not always with the increase in racial mixing happening nowadays and for Asians it's a fucking nightmare since it's hard to tell what's a Japanese person or a Chinese person.

Like I don't mind people of color. In five with it. Not something I use often though…and half the time folks think it's just black people and not other ethnic groups who so desperately need some representation. We blacks have our own media and everything but we still ain't satisfied regardless.

Gonna deposit another opinion here:

I think Overwatch has some interesting characters or character designs at least, and that makes me hate Overwatch even more for doing very little with these characters (and for being an Actiblizz property).

Hell, the game itself could've been good in my eyes, but a combination of putting disjointed worldbuilding that clashes with the game over the game itself, obsessively chasing the e-sports market, playable character bloat that continually got worse, and a complete lack of attention towards balancing the game seriously spoiled it.

If I were at the helm, I'd start by snapping the roster and investing focus into refining what's left, and making the game a lot more fun to play (and I'd also hire competent writers).

Even as someone who's not getting Pokemon Sword or Shield I still find the pro Nation Dex people to honestly be more annoying than the people they like to call "shills." Like for pete's sake if some people want to still get the games because they think they look fun, are a casual fan, or are just getting into Pokemon for the first time, then fucking let them enjoy the games. Plus I feel like what made me really start to see the pro-National Dex people in a light that made me go "yeah I'm done" was when I saw some of them seriously compare the "struggle" of the pro-National Dex people to the Hong Kong protesters, or people saying they'd rather the developers at Game Freak be freaking crunched to near death for no pay just to satisfy the people who want literally every Pokemon in the game.

EDIT: KYM, where you post an actual unpopular opinion in an "unpopular opinion thread" and get downvoted, but say an opinion that frankly isn't even that freaking unpopular to begin with like the one above about Overwatch needing better writers and a different publisher but the characters are still nice gets upvoted. Like seriously, what the hell even is an unpopular opinion on this site anymore?

not just a thing in KYM, tbh, it's pretty common for people to tell "unpopular" opinions that are actually popular, I've probably done it before without realizing it.

and about upvotes, well, people tend to upvote and downvote things they agree and disagree with, respectively, even when it's a thread like this

I'm pretty much one of the few with a legit downvoted opinion but who knows really.

I think Freedom Planet is better than Sonic Mania, you know, that game where people only cared about because there was no classic Sonic gameplay style in recent years? Exactly that game.

Probably because I have a little bit of puritan on me, but I never liked the "sex is equal or better than violence" argument. Sure violence is pretty bad on the real world, but on the fictional world, I think it's pretty awesome. But that's because I find it more enjoyable most of the time and you can do so many things with it, meanwhile with sex, you use it for romance, sexy time or just to disgust your viewers.

Also another one for my puritan side, is that a well-dressed woman is more appealing to look at rather than an half naked one. Of course you don't feel "wow so sexy", but looking at a woman with an elegant dress, I dunno, it just feels better to me, it's kinda like looking at a beautiful piece of art with just a bit of sex appeal if that makes any sense.

I love rant videos, even if the maker of the video is quite aggressive about it and tell me that I suck for liking x thing, I still like it anyway, because it still puts a new perspective into the thing that you might not even have considered before. It's not like you're gonna sunddely stop liking the thing anyway, it just says "Hey, maybe x thing isn't perfect you know that?"

that's understandable. some half naked design don't do it for me but overall never really bothered me. but they're has been cases where being more clothes is actually sexier for a character.

apparently "don't buy products you don't like and move on" is an unpopular opinion. Pokemon games aren't important.

If I am to believe that you’re a poochyena then you don’t exist outside of pokemon games.

I have an unpopular opinion:Bowsette and Earth Chan are shit memes

I'm gonna concur for the latter. Super Crown memes in general I can at least see some comedic or interesting potential in, even if Bowsette did get "out of hand" imo. Earth-chan meanwhile I just think is an exceptionally forgettable design that feels forced.

Pooch that's for legal reasons and to avoid any possible problems if any at all arise. You're opinion is not unpopular it's just an unspoken rule.

They may be shit memes, but I've fapped to Bowsette and Futa Earth Chan several times.

It's not weird, it's a law

@Steven The Pirate
@Kenetic Kups
>that's for legal reasons
>it's a law

Which law are you guys referring to?

Laws have been passed in the past, but struck down multiple times by the supreme court. The UK have tried to pass similar laws too, and either they failed or passed, but got shelved and never enforced.

I think the whole 'Game Journalists are all incompetent woke fools' is not only wrong and overblown, but also needlessly antagonistic.

What, don't like how this reviewer gave that game you like a 6 or something? Well maybe that's because he had some serious issues which he felt detracted from the experience. Shit like this is subjective. Reviewers are allowed to express their own opinion, otherwise everything just becomes a hive mind in which popularity is the sole factor for whether something is good or bad.

And I find it more hypocritical when it comes from youtubers. Like you think you guys are somehow oh so above it all? Like you're not part of the mass media machine, catering to popular outrage for a few extra clicks on your video?

The people that defended Keemstar back in 2016 are dumbasses.
Including the youtubers that defended Keemstar (H3H3, Idubbbz, I Hate Everything, etc)
Now look at him now, being the same asshole after Etika died.
At least H3H3 has the decency to go after him, the rest decided to pretend it didn't happen. But it doesn't excuse the fact that he makes shitty takes in Twitter, not to mention his takes on Michael Jackson.

Yes, I dislike H3H3 too ever since this video came up ive pretty much just fuck all of it

Even come to the point to see his take on Projared's response 2 months ago

Okay, I need to clarify, it was meant as edgy humor, you know since it's an unpopular opinion thread, posting White supremacist slogans like "Europeans have a right to exist xDDD" seemed funny.

I regret posting this, it was meant as a joke, I completely disagree with the meaning behind it, was only meant as edgy humor, I would delete it if I could, I'm very sorry.

When the second amendment say "Right to bear arms" it means literally everything that falls under the definition of the word arms which according to Google is:

1. Weapons and ammunition; armaments

2. distinctive emblems or devices originally borne on shields in battle and now forming the heraldic insignia of families, corporations, or countries.

So that means, everything: Explosives, Tanks, Planes, Naval Vessels, Missiles, Chemical Weapons, Biological Weapons, Nuclear Weapons, Attack Helicopters, Everything.

So therefore it is a constitutional right to be able to build our own Nuclear-Armed Submarine Aircraft Carrier Fleets with full-sized Carrier Air Wings complete with dedicated Attack Planes, Helicopters, Interceptors and Air Superiority Fighters and amphibious landing forces.

What emblem are we gonna put on it, tho?

the other way you could look at it is; it say "arms" not "any arms", so, technically, if the only weapon you are allowed to own is a hunting knife, then you still have your right to bear arms.

I'd probably do something meme-y, I'd hide loss in it for sure. Probably name fighter squadrons after waifus or some equally KYM-tarded stuff.

In all honesty I'll fully admit to being a meme-tarded waif-enthusiast military nut.

The time has come to harvest and melt down all obese people into low-emission biofuel to power the next generation of Eco-friendly cars.

Even if on the internet for years it hasn't been effective,I still feel it should work as a warning.
If you're below 18 and you want to see NSFW stuff,you have to be fully aware of what you're getting into,even if it turns out to be the most vanilla thing imaginable.

On Twitter that ain't effective at all though,add users who don't put their age on their bio and it's difficult to tell if they're 18 and up judging by their tweets too.

On top of that,add those underage artists who draw lewd content,that's a big NO from me.
Twitter is a fucking mess.

I'm in the opinion that if folks are mature about it, bringing up sexual topics around teens is fine Espcally if they're in their late teens. The reason minors shouldn't be looking, drawing, or writing smut is mostly because they're still developing.

And it's kinda icky and yikes.

Oh and this gonna get me killed by the pokemon fan base: sword and shield pretty much justifies why I fell out of pokemon after all these years. Then again, I'm a massive edgelord any bubbly and custey I jsut find to be guilty pleasures at best.

Here's a thermonuclear take:

I'm not a Pokemon fan by any means, but a Pokedex cut or exclusion of some Pokemon in a mainline game was inevitable at some point. When you've got a roster of 800+ monsters and you keep adding to it, that's when I feel you've got a roster that's getting too bloated for its own good. Somewhere along the line you have to stop, say "this is too much" and either a) cut some mons or b) not add anymore to the roster, and option b seems the more unfeasible option given the general appeal of new regions is the new mons and variants within them. Sure, you could try to force in such a massive roster alongside new additions, but then you're stuck with compressing the development cycle to get a release out on time and creating even more crunch than you already are. Even just reusing the models/sounds and porting them over to another project, that still takes a decent chunk of time (it's like building a house with a premade scaffold and all the materials of the old house vs. designing a whole new house from scratch, the former's less intensive but still consumes time and labor resources)

Doesn't let Game Freak off the hook here as from what I know they diverted resources away from SwSh for one that, effectively, went nowhere, and thus put themselves in this hole in the first place through mismanagement. But at the very least, there is rationale behind the cuts, and they're inevitably going to happen when rosters keep getting bigger and bigger.

Considering I didn't really give some unpopular opinions here they are:

-Shipping is dumb,all of them,as long is treated as a joke I don't mind but those who are dead serious and lust all over it are so disgustingly sugary to the point is embarassing. Just create your own characters rather than use an existing property,it makes them out of character and just don't feel the same.

-Waifu invasion nowadays is dumb. People make fanart or posts of them just because is the latest popular thing,only to never come back to them ever again,just rarely that happens. It's not sincere appreciation or truly care about them.
Doesn't help they have a lifespan of a month at best.

-And speaking of waifu material:Samus Aran fans are some of the worst ones.
Yes,she's one of the oldest waifus on the internet but what happened with her is ridiculous.
People battling on how she's supposed to be drawn or those who lust after her so much to the point to become obsessive and creepy.
Not all of them of course.

freaking based (i'm more of a fan of canon ships mostly but i don't mind shipping for fun….unless you take it too far)

i have a very strained with relationship with waifu culture really. on one hand i don't mind all the fanart but i feel like there's a difference between fanart someone cared about and fanart that's just jumping on a bandwagon. the former as soul, the other lacks any sort of soul for lack of a better term. then again, artist can be very desperate creatures.

source: me, an artist…

Of course I'm not saying you should lust after them 24/7 but they're clearly "cannon fodder" for lewds or nontroversies in recent years.
Shipping itself as I said can be fine but when someone spend so much time for it,it's too much.

OCs for an existing property is also a similiar thing I dislike,granted those that managed to become their own thing and can be separated from the source material.
But then you have those that stand out like a sore thumb,even worse when they involve characters from said series.
Again,why these people don't just make their own thing,if there's almost nothing connected to the series itself? Popularity? Whatever.

We need new original memes god damn it! EVERYTHING is thing I don´t like or thing I like potrayed as manly cool smart whatever vs thing I don´t like being super dumb. Like those memes are fine I guess, but….I want new stuff in the 2020s

because people like things related to familiar properties. orginal fan characters are a fine line between original and fan made n order to garner interest but also still retaining some originality. but gotta agree i prefer ocs to not delve into established character's businesses. it always ends in cringe.

I've got two

1. Some practices & mechanics in games(such as console exclusives or last-hitting in mobas ) are terrible and only accepted because they were the norm in formative years.

2. MMO players care about rewards(specifically gear) too much. It feels like in many MMOs, there's a very strong mentality of "If I'm not rewarded (enough), I'm not doing it." I don't really see the point in playing games if that's your attitude. Sure, it's nice to get rewarded, but if you refuse to play what you enjoy because of it? Ridiculous.

I don't get the appeal of Geno, and the character strikes me as being overrated for what he is.

I say this as someone who played Super Mario RPG as a kid.

Geno really doesn't stand out to me as a memorable character, I can hardly remember him actually doing anything and I never really used him much when I got Peach and Bowser, though I think I did pull out Mallow every now and then to try and get enemy tattles.

Speaking of Mallow, I find him a lot more memorable a character who actually undergoes a genuine character arc over the course of the story, and I'm kind of disappointed that he gets overlooked.

Defending something just to spite a group you dislike it's one of the dumbest things you could possibly do on the internet.
I've seen that happening too many times in recent years.
No matter the quality of that meme,movie or game is,these people will keep doing it because for another reason.
Take Captain Marvel stans on Twitter who defend it whenever they get the chance despite being one of the most forgettable movies in the MCU
Or DmC because most of the real fans dislike it and said people who defend it never actually played a real Devil May Cry game.
Or how about Doom Eternal,supported by people who problably never cared about Doom in general back when that stupid controversy regarding "Mortally Challenged".Thankfully the whole thing died out two months later.

And if we want to talk about memes,almost every single Wojak variation in the last 2 years,with a legion of users here ready to jump on make it trend and going "You hate it because is you",only to be forgotten after 3 months and repeat with the next one.
The whole Coomer meme trending is the same as the NPC a year before and the latter is almost completely unused as an insult.

Is the equivalent of eating your own shit and vomit and you keep doing it because you know it nauseates a certain a group you don't like.

So here’s another legit unpopular opinion: I don’t mind Wojack. I find it endearing actually but then again memes done in ms paint always resonated with me.

Me either it's just the prime example of what I mentioned before,it wouldn't be so bad if there wasn't an oversaturation of them in the last 3 years.
Then again they do last longer than the average Twitter/Reddit meme,which is a low bar to be honest.

Sassy black women is an annoying movie stereotype and using it for sake of diversity is a shitty excuse for lazy character writing.

Also Wojak is spelled vo-yak not woah-jack you yankees.

Some unpopular opinions I got:

I find the complaints over white phosphorus being some killstreak reward in the last Call of Duty to be a funny thing. I know WP is a vile thing in real life but for a game, I'm meh to it, especially since the series gave players a "TACTICAL NUKE" as a killstreak reward. Same goes for the ideas of COD being "American propaganda." Yeah the Russians as bad guys thing is overdone and all but from what I seen with the Modern Warfare series, the American protag for each game is: killed from nuke radiation, wins but is standing around in a war torn D.C., injured bad enough he can't go into a rescue and his fellow Americans get killed off, and the last American protag also gets bumped off. Add to that the villains usually being killed off by a guy from the UK. I don't know if this all really counts as an unpopular opinion but around the Twittersphere and the Reddit sphere I seen this from, it seems to be one that gets quite a number of likes.

Also considering what Baron o Spirals said about defending things, it reminds me of something similar: buying or enjoying something out of spite.

I can say there are games that I had fun with such as Ion Fury but buying it just to "piss off SJWs" is stupid. Same goes for buying something like say "Battlefield V" to own misogynerds. Like yeah that's nice, you wanna piss off a group you don't like, now just play the game and enjoy it instead of trying to one up people you don't like. One other example I can also recall is a guy eating meat simply to own vegans. Yeah there are vegans that are annoying and standing on high horses but those are just some crazed idiots you'll be likely to find on the internet more than in real life. Eating a steak or a burger in front of him isn't really going to bugger said vegan when they just see you come off as more of some annoying moron.

One other opinion I got: Just let me judge a work without having to hear people bemoan it because of some stupid buzzword or whatever it is they attach it to. I'd like to see and judge a work without some guy thinking it's "woke garbage" or that it'll "validate incels" and the like. It's one thing to have valid critiques and all and it's another different level to complain just because you think it's some sort of flat out pandering to a group you don't like without realizing there's more to it beyond what one at least perceives from their own mind and biases.

Any cilche can be excuted well but I do agree the sassy black woman trope is fucking grating. And, might as well be racist as it implies that all black women act like this.

Ahem

I think Dark Souls 2 is a great game and Dark Souls 3 is lackluster.

Emoticons > emojis
I never liked emojis as a substitute for emoticons, specially on twitter and facebook: it seems that is a requisite that in your profile name must have one of two emojis to be eligible to earn the blue tick, or that you must put emojis on your tweet/status to ensemble a human being and not a bot. That and fucking hashtags.

One of my biggest fears is that textbooks in the future (>implying they will exist) will need hashtags and emojis to teach certain subject, because the modern generations don't fucking know how to read a book!

Emoticons are so much more fun and adaptable, imo.

I remember using them to replicate the Kirby dance when I was younger.
It was something kinda like this:
>(lul)> <(lul)< >(lul)> <(IoI)^

We can solve all this by banning emojis from unicode

I hate cats, I find them to be horrible animals to own. Admittedly, I'm not a big fan of pets in general, but I can see objective reasons to own say a dog. Cats on the other hand, I find nothing endearing about them or people who eagerly own one.

i fucking hate the :) emoticons. idk why but i find them creepy…

This is late but I forgot this thread was around, I managed to have an unpopular opinion in not really hating Wojak memes. Don't get me wrong, they are lazy rehashes that also were made to insult certain individuals but beyond it all being recolors, I can't care much for them if someone did upload yet another wojak onto KYM. Wouldn't mind seeing if one could make some original art and what not over whatever wojak there is.

On that same note, I'm not really much into memes. I use to but now those aren't really all that appealing aside from certain memes such as New Guy, Virgin vs. Chad, and Gachimuchi, last one which isn't the same since the mascot for it, Billy Herrington, died a couple years ago. Most memes I seen that weren't "scumbag steve" ended up sounding like one hit wonders that died a few days later or overstayed its welcome such as Ugandan Knuckles and Harambe.

Another unpopular opinion thanks to the cesspit of Twitter: seeing how some fellows on a discord I regular were arguing over politics in video games, I have an unpopular opinion in that why should one get buggered by one saying a video game is political/not political. I can get a guy throwing out MGS or Fallout as examples of political games but beyond "nukes and war bad" I can't really see them much as evidence of "heavily political" since those weren't as memorable for more as what the gameplay and setting offered. I remember the former more as a stealth game that stood out with it's mechanics and it's story that had some twist and turns while the latter was something that showed how humanity dealt with the world after the bombs fell, all while seeing at what I could do in a town and seeing how it affected said town in the endings.

On that same note, thinking a trans character thrown in is "politics that's making the game unfun" sounds stupid since I can imagine there being more unfun to a game than a character that's LGBT. I'd imagine a "political" game would be more of something that soapboxes and screeches in your face. In the end, I just feel like video games are electronic toys and the people screeching over it being political or not just sounds more like children trying to one up each other. Then again, one can say my opinion is trash because I will admit, I play a game first and foremost for enjoyment in how it plays.

There are many kind of annoying memes out there, like those that begin with "when" and have a random picture and those that begin with "nobody, absolutely nobody, not even a single soul", but nothing is more annoying than the object labeling memes. They are the laziest memes ever made. So lazy that I even refuse to consider them as memes, just like with games so bad they should have not been considered as games at all. Making a object labeling meme is simple. Here is how:

1) Pick a picture. It doesn't matter if it's a simple draw made from Microsoft Paint, or a beautiful piece of art made with love. Just pick a picture. Any picture.

2) Throw labels on it. Any kind of labels.

3) Profit. Done. That's it, you've just made a meme. Yeah. Now sit back and enjoy your contribution on this global-scaled epidemic. Wow, cowboy. You're so creative.

Actually, you're not.

This object labeling stuff reminds me those political cartoonists who put tons of labels on everything in order to explain what is what. Well, if you have to explain your own jokes, you have no jokes at all. This is why I prefer cartoonists who avoids labels, and this is also why this kind of memes in not funny at all. But those memes not only are unfunny, but they're also uncreative. Just pick a picture and fill it with stupid labels. This is even worse when this picture is a beautiful piece of art because is fully disrespectful to the artist. Putting crap on a great painting is like taking a shit on Mona Lisa!

Maybe this is why I prefer the old comic-like memes, with the troll face etc. Call me an old man but at least those old memes could motivate you to make something actually funny and actually creative. And before asking, I consider this opinion as unpopular because those memes are everywhere, like a tsunami drowning the Internet.

I HATE graphic t-shirts. The stylistic ones are great, but the black t-shirts with a random anime character in the middle or whatever are the worst. I really just hate any shirt that looks like random art was just thrown on it. Please have some dignity and wear a shirt with a graphic that looks like it was designed for a shirt, not one that just has a random logo slapped on the front.
