The Unpopular Opinions thread

[Midoriya]

About the 45th person to say they don’t like anime in this thread. I’m beginning to think it’s not such an unpopular opinion.

There’s plenty of anime that delves into topics where the characters aren’t in high school, you just have to look for it.

Few examples off the top of my head:

Cowboy Bebop, Black Lagoon, Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Made in Abyss, Trigun, Samurai Champloo, Gurren Lagann, Fire Force, Akame ga Kill, Hunter x Hunter, Tower of God, Demon Slayer, The Rising of The Shield Hero, One Punch Man, and Attack on Titan. In none of those are the characters being depicted as being in high school.

I said I wasn’t going to delve into the topic anymore, but I noticed you also mentioned anime not handling “adult” or “serious” themes well. Some of the shows I mentioned do actually do that, and there’s shows like Death Note, Death Parade, and Tokyo Ghoul that deal with issues such as psychological trauma and even death, shows which aren’t really intended for children. So to say anime doesn’t handle those issues isn’t even a matter of opinion anymore,,, it’s just factually incorrect.

Anyway, my unpopular opinion for today is that chicken with mayonnaise is delicious!

I liked Ichigo way more than 002

I absolutely hate milk when it's by itself (okay mixed into things like tea or soups, etc.) and feel physically nauseous whenever I see someone drink a glass of milk

Dairy milk or any kind of milk? I don't like diary milk at all but I'll have cereal with a 1 part milk 3 part cereal ratio. Or have it in my tea or use it an as ingredient.

I like almond and soy milk on their own but I haven't formed an opinion on oat milk yet.

dairy milk!! I can't even have it in cereal (I've always had cereal dry and people find it Super weird)

I love almond milk, soy milk is okay but it wouldn't be my first choice. I haven't really tried oat or rice milk

My unpopular opinion is that all the Star Wars movies are terrible. Both on their own and in the context as a trilogy. They are bad in their own way.

I didn't watch any of the Star Wars movies until I was in my mid twenties because I didn't like SciFi movies. So I don't have nostalgia goggles and I never bashed Star Wars because it was popular. I was pretty much indifferent to it. I like the idea of Star Wars: the world, characters, and conflicts but the movies are just not good movies.

Great idea, terrible execution is how I would describe the main 9 movies.

so happy to find someone else who eats cereal dry and hates milk. I’ll go one step further and say I don’t like any type of milk at all. That’s not to say I don’t like ice cream or dairy products with milk in them but certainly not anything super milky or milk on it’s own. Yucky.

oat milk > any milk

also i don't really dislike anime per se but i'm very pick and a lot of 'popular' ones are either like 4358 episodes or just boring when you read about it (i mean exception would be jojo but cba catching up on that now lol).

i prefer like 60s-90s anime so, yeah.

Ew I hate Star Wars too. They're just so boring. I don't get what the hype is. I automatically lose interest.

I honestly think I've said this before, but I'm not 100% sure.

Christmas/December is the worst time of year.
Valentine's Day & Thanksgiving aren't as bad as people make it out to be.
Easter is a top tier holiday.

i have another anime-related unpopular opinion similar to my last one... i think kill la kill sucks. not in an elitist way, a show's popularity doesn't usually factor into my enjoyment, the "fanservice" is just obnoxious and inappropriate. i'm not going to go too far into it here, but it's so ridiculous that the main character is only 17. i think this is a criticism that can be extended to tons of anime.

ecchi is seriously one of the worst genres, comedy/parody or not. you can't call yourself a parody or "too over the top to be taken seriously" if you're just feeding into what you're parodying.

People with a little pudge on them are more attractive than people who are lean/skinny.

As someone who is and grew up skinny, I can't fathom running to hug another skinny person (after not seeing each other for a while).
I simply cannot. Both of our ribcages would turn to dust.

I'm the same way! I'm built like a slightly curvy stick, but I have a preference for guys that are little...chubby? Stocky? It's a body type that's comforting to me in a way I can't explain.

Chili is just not chili unless you add beans. I see some people's recipes where it's just ground beef, spices & water and maybe half an onion if you're lucky. That's just watery ground beef soup ya liars

I live in a household where I have a bunch of fairly picky eaters, so I have to omit beans from my chili. That being said, I add tomatoes, onions and Rotel (a spicy tomato and pepper mix) to my chili so it’s not just spices and water: that just sounds gross...

oat milk truly is the superior milk substitute, please try it.
i personally can't stand the sweetness of almond or soy milk (plus almond milk is actually kind of bad for the environment(note that cows milk is still worse i.e, methane)). coconut milk is OK but extremely fatty & sort of not recommended for daily consumption. but oat milk smells nice, tastes great, and is good for both you & the earth. i use it in my morning coffee now with some instant hot chocolate for sweetener &.... yeah it's wonderful
reminds me that i need a steamer so i can make lattes at home & stop giving starbucks back all the money i made from them

although i hate beans, i have to agree with you. i've never ever even heard of "beanless" chili

toppings l love on pizza all together. Pineapple, red onions, pepperoni, mushrooms, and tomatoes!

That still sounds pretty good! My partner won't eat chili if there's beans in it so I understand the struggle.

I like attractive men who are neither overly muscular nor too thin. In most Christian social circles, women's physical and visual attraction to men is ignored or very downplayed, which is regrettable in my case, since I'm very aesthetically stimulated by stunning men. Favorites past and present include Kevin Love, Matthew McConaughey, Tyrone Power, JFK Jr, Shawn Wayans, Bruce Lee, Omar Borkan Al Gala...notice all ethnic groups represented. I'm always puzzled by folks who think only their own groups can be attractive; I think beauty is found everywhere.

People should stop referring to vegetarian dishes like it's different/special/better or worse. And then wanting me to be impressed because their eating it???

Like ok its just food without real meat¿ Don't go make a big deal of you limiting yourself for my approval..?
