The Unpopular Opinions thread

[Alienfish]

I feel like a lot of people take video games too seriously, as if it's their only identity. It's like those kids in gym class that took a grade 7 game of basketball like it was an official game or something. I remember when video games were just considered a past time, something to do for fun.
I recently picked up Pokemon Let's Go Eevee because all I wanted was another game to just sit down for an hour, play and then turn it off and continue with my life. I work full time, all I want is an easy game to just pick up and play. None of this hour grinding crap or "I have to win" mentality. If that's somebody's source of fun, then that's totally fine but it's not mine. I don't want to have to grind and play for 100 hours to actually be able to play properly. I want to play video games to lay back and have fun, what's the crime in that?

Agree. I also hate that Pokémon is/was so competitive to some point and that they made US/UM so you needed perfect pokemon of high level in the end basically or traded level 100's for elite four that did as they please..like i used to play pokemon for fun and collecting not to hypertrain them to steroids lol... (like yeah it's been existing forever but at least games were never that annoying to play and u could play as u wanted).

I actually like Scrappy Doo. I can see why some people would find him annoying or over the top, but I think he's cute.

I find it kind of ironic his name is "Scrappy" and he was scrapped from the series. It's like they knew...

Violence is the answer in certain scenarios. Like i think we should arm and organize protesters into militias.

I know that it's polite to use them, but I think that sometimes spoilers can be overused. I don't want to click a spoiler within a spoiler within a spoiler. It's more work, especially if the reason I'm in the thread is to view images anyway. ; ;

would that be bad necessarily lol

Well, you know, I'd hate for my government to give me bread crum rations and take all my rights away.

Unpopular opinion right there in some states!

The basic idea is better explained by this. Great video, too.

New unpopular opinion on my end- The Hunger Games was filled with tropes and I thought it was boring.

While I like the Hunger Games, I do remember being able to sum up the plot of the first movie in Hallmark movie terms. I don’t remember the full description but I do remember describing the titular game as a trip of a lifetime

Twilight Princess Zelda is the best Zelda design out of all of them.
The dress is gorgeous and brown hair really suits her. I also prefer the Twilight Princess art style in general.

Also...

I don't like Breath of the Wild Zelda. You may bring out your pitchforks now.​

you realize that is basically an extreme form of like, marxism/communism version that is basically totalitarian rather than like, basing it off the good parts lol... it's basically like those marxist-leninism from the 70s which kind of did (not) work ..

Rouge the Bat, Amy Rose and Shadow the Hedgehog's new voices are horrible.

i hate sarcastic people. it aint funny, edgy, cool, or clever but highly annoying, rude, and passive aggressive. ill avoid you if you even try to play sarcasm with me, gross.

I honestly don't get why SpongeBob is so hyped and memes everywhere. Sure everyone and their mom watched it as a kid but I never got any deep in it (no sheila is not from there though it's a cool character lol). I mean sure they aired a Swedish dub which might or might not have ruined it but I never put too much time into it either. Watched maybe a couple of OG non-dubbed episodes but yeah, lol.

Yes, finally someone else who doesn’t like sarcastic people. I thought I was the only one. On my end though it’s mainly because I have Aspergers/ASD and don’t understand it sometimes. It’s still very annoying even when I do understand it though. I’m not saying someone has to be serious with me all the time, but I don‘t like sarcastic responses.

Some people can handle it, but yeah I agree most sarcasm are basically self-absorption or just anti-jokes and people always keep adding "omg i was just kidding" when half of the time they weren't.

i can be pretty sarcastic sometimes but also, its not like... my whole personality. i like to think i know when to tone it down, bc i know some people just arent fans of that kind of humor and thats like totally okay!! i only really get sarcastic with people who i know have dry senses of humor too haha, its just all about feeling out the humor someone else likes tbh
and also i apologize if a joke i make ever offends someone. totally agree that sarcasm can be used as an excuse to be offensive, and that is NOT okay

Green Greens is an annoying song.

Yeah, I think it's fun if people know what they are actually saying and having humor, it's not as fun when they are self-absorbed and basically anti everything

Story focused video games like light novels and JRPGs should have summaries. It’s so easy to drop a game for a few weeks and then forget everything that’s happened.
