Share your extremely unpopular opinion! ( also don't judge)

I think all the SAO hate came from the "bandwagon effect" because one or two popular Youtubers hated it, so everyone else decided they need to hate it... like... there's worse anime out there;; there's worse media in general

Agree, but I also think it came from the fact that SAO fanbase is so rotten that it's funny to hate on them and troll them right back. Honestly I could careless about SAO, granted the first episode got my interest, but what came after that was just meh in general.

Talking about unpopular opinion: Yuri on Ice is okay. It has great animation, great music, okay plot, so overall it's okay. But the fact that my Twitter keeps blowing up over it really gets on my nerve sometimes. I get it, it's gay, now stop spoiling the darn anime every time a new episode pops up.

Batman's the only superhero that matters/has semi-interesting lore and psychology. I'm talking about the comics though, the gritty ones from the 80s like Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller. That's a great, dark graphic novel. They ruined the mood when they made it into an animated movie recently, made it look like the animated series. Just doesn't fit.

And the Watchmen graphic novel is fantastic, although I wouldn't really lump that in with superhero stuff, it's much more than that.

I hate being nice, I hate seeking validation, I hate trying to fit in, I hate pleasing people, I hate trying to meet societal and parental exceptions, I hate being politically correct, and I hate humans( not all, but the vast majority)

[scythe]

You and I would get along like a house on fire.

[angelfire]

Yeah the fan art art thing is just terrible. I also dont think many of them are allowed to do it. Sell the fanart I mean.

Also let me bring up that point you made about hot/sexy people cuz like Oh. My. God. People around me are so sick of me complaining about it but I just cant understand why there's no diversity there. Like its not even different colored people they legit have the same face repeated!!! It's gotten to the point where I've had so much shoved in my face that I dont think its hot/sexy anymore.

The people who voted for the political candidate whom you did not want to win are NOT all awful people.

[ChipGod]

I hate anime. I DISLIKE Most BL

[scythe]

Cis is just about the most redundant label I've ever heard of. We don't need a label for 99.995% of the population.

It's like saying, I'm not an astronaut, I'm a notstronaut. (I stole that joke and I don't care).

[NickRowler]

Actually transgender people make up about 0.3% of the US population. (actually it could even be higher than that)

I think cis is useful depending on the context of the sentence, like "Mpreg are stories about cismales who get pregnant" or "She is a transwoman while her twin sister is a ciswoman."

[joannekwan]

Not really an unpopular opinion, but I needed a place to vent.

Get off my ad feed you fuckin' bitch! Your ad is cancerous! It's crashing Shockwave Flash slowing the hell out of scrolling through comics and leaving comments for nice creators is nigh impossible! On top of that I'm getting reports that the ad wants to load scripts! And 95% of the time there's fucking two of you!

(note that I've sent a concerned e-mail to the Tap staff already about this)

[indagold]

eh I prefer "not trans" since most people have no idea what cis means. I'm asexual and I don't use "allosexual" at all just "not asexual" or "sexual".

[bakasama25]

I don't know, cis is such a buzzword to the point of being almost meaning less, whatever happen to saying "normal"? Plus for some people it's slurword to mock normal people. Ever hear of "Die cis scum!"

[Mocha]

Yeah some people I've met use the word cis in a really degrading and insulting way which really pisses me off. They're like "Oh, you're a cis-white-whatever? Clearly you aren't a 'special snowflake' like me, gtfo you cisgender scum!".

[thorbjornlyk]

Normal on the other hand is pretty fucking rude to use, as it implies that trans people are not.

[heterodont]

to be fair, anyone who acts like that isn't exactly someone you'd want to talk to, they just give a bad name to people who genuinely care about issues regarding transgender rights.

cis isn't even a slur? or it doesn't have the same bearing as those directed towards lgbt people. more often than not slurs directed towards LGBT people have malicious intent behind it, but what's cis gonna do? people who's gender identity match their sex make up the majority of the population, it's not like they're going to get dehumanized by a singular prefix

[NickRowler]

Um, I think only a very very tiny percentage of people seriously say "Die cis scum", I am pretty sure everyone else just uses it to mock Tumblr users or are just a troll pretending to hate-cis. I never came across someone who was serious about it.

Cis is not a slurword, it never was. It just another word for "not trans". People may try to make it sound bad, but most of the people tend to be dumb teens. I have however come across people who were called cis, not in a offensive way, but they end up getting offended.

Also using "normal" is also problematic. It dehumanizes trans people. Like I am not forcing you to use cis but please do not act like trans people are some sort of abnormal monster.

[scythe]

Except normal can just mean the norm, the standard, the expected. There doesn't have to be any kind of judgement attached to the label normal.

In the city where I live, if you're a guy who's not into sport that's every unusual. So I'm not normal in that regard. Nothing dehumanising about that.

[NickRowler]

There has always been a strong anti-trans backlash that tries to dehumanize trans people. And it similar to those who say gays are not normal or interracial marriage is not normal. Or saying that because the majority of the US population is white, thus non-white people are not normal.

It's awful and wrong and yes it is dehumanizing.
And sometimes what is considered "normal" can also be problematic.

[scythe]

I guess it all depends on what you mean by normal, as I said, it has many definitions and connotations.

[NickRowler]

Can I just say, I really hate the whole concept of HD, 4K, and super high frame rates.

It messes with my eyes and makes me dizzy. It also looks creepy and unnatural. Maybe it's because I spend long hours at work looking at low quality SD film from the 60s and 70s or maybe there is just something wrong with my eyes.
