[pbpsbff]

i know that i spend a lot of time on my phone/on social media but i honestly think boomers are way worse

#like i live with a boomer #and she cant exist without facebook vids playing at full volume #i try to have a conversation w her? copyright free music is playing and i can barely hear myself #doing online school in 2020? can't turn my mic on because of facebook videos #trying to sleep? i can hear her phone across the house #im just #ugh #she doesn't acknowledge anything around her half the time because of her phone and its soooooooooo #like its miserable. youre missing out on life and i am forced to hear it #i know this isnt like an unpopular opinion #but im justtttttttttttt #its frustrating #i miss life when everything wasnt online and displayed in 10 sec videos overlayed with 15 songs #im tired

Ppl going "waaahh unpopular opinion but Alice is kind of annoying and obnoxious and I don't think I'd like be her friend irl" is so funny to me bc like.

God forbid a cast of characters be multifaceted and have actual flaws and unpleasant aspects other than "grr angsty hero" and "whoops i'm so clumsy". Sometimes character dynamics and arcs need to be prioritized above "who would i personally be niceys with irl"

2. bro just WAIT until you hear about season 1 jon lol

#the magnus protocol #tmagp #season 1 jon was obnoxious and sometimes a straight up ASSHOLE and you were supposed to find him kinda grating!!! #yes alice IS a bit annoying and too much sometimes (esp in the first episodes) and i love that <3 #like. its p obvious that she uses the over the top-thing as a shield (to push ppl away/as a defense mechanism/to avoid being vulnerable) #we see her drop the act sometimes w ppl like teddy and sam who she actually feels comfortable around (and who know and understand her) #but like. she's stuck in a job she hates and is kind of afraid of (she KNOWS smth abt the horrors and is keeping her head down to survive) #(shes obviously afraid of sam going to far bc she KNOWS its dangerous) #so yes her act gets too much sometimes and yes sometimes she crosses the line into straight up mean (esp against gwen) #(but their dynamic is a whole other can of worms) #but like. i'm pretty sure its supposed to be seen that way. the audience isnt supposed to just find her kooky funny #the facade is supposed to be dismantled by the viewer etc etc #kind of like SEASON 1 JON the obnoxious bastard!!!!!!! #like. if you ever think alice is too mean towards gwen pls listen to s1 jon again and how he speaks abt martin?? #from a position as his boss no less? ngl i wanted to throttle him sometimes #you kinda forget abt it in the later seasons and if you only engage w fandom content. but like. go back and listen to the shit #he actually says. jesus christ man. i remember kinda hating him in the beginning #and to be clear i love jon! i think hes a great character! #and like. its almost as if his early season personality and facade was an important setup for his character development #and relationships with the other characters??? #but anyway 'alice is kind of annoying' is not an unpopular opinion its literally the FUCKING POINT #and both her and jon are my sweet baby angels <3 #alice dyer #jon sims #(and obviouslyyy you're still allowed to dislike a character ppl can have their own opinions etc etc etc. i just personally find it funny)

I just had a riveting discussion with a self proclaimed anarcho-capitalist at work, whose opinions included:

Tipping is bad because 'contracts with your employer are voluntary and they can leave if they're not paid enough.' He will still tip if he thinks his wife is watching

If you're stuck inside a torture chamber with an apple you can bite every ten seconds that sends you to paradise for a year, it is illogical to bite the apple and humanity is broken for thinking so

The ending to the good place was bad because the characters weren't being logical and there was so much shit you can do with the afterlife.

The marxist labor theory of value 'isn't true' because paintings have arbitrary value

Heidegger was an idiot

Kant was an idiot

Nietzche was an idiot

He is an anarcho-capitalist

If I don't have 100% certainty for something than I can't truly say that I know something is true, and isn't it illogical that people do that?

I have to see this man every Monday from now until I quit. We work one on one.

#he was also horrified that i give credit to phenomenology despite not seeming to know what that is? #and now that i think about his stupid thing with the car i could just as easily use the sun as an example #and that would be even dumber #my god this man is a fool #and every single thing he said he followed up with 'and i know thats an unpopular opinion' like wtf you weird little edgelord #go read jordan peterson and leave me alone #he ended the conversation with 'i guess i didnt change your opinion' despite me not sharing any coherent opinions whatsoever #mans is getting off on 'rational debate' and im laughing in his face when he tells me 'marx's labor theory of value isnt true' #marx #heidegger #neitzche #anarcho-capitalist #communism #anarchism #capitalism #kant #the good place #thought experiments #i guess #phenomenology #simulation theory #maybe? #tipping #ethics #my fat tranny nuts

the whole "you shouldn't identify as X, don't form an identity when you can't/don't know yet, you're too young, what if/you might change your mind!" etc etc. it's so silly when you think about it. what's wrong with changing your mind anyway? why did we all decide that gender/sexuality identity has to be static and can never change? why did we decide that it's a bad thing to change? because the old generation tells us change is bad? because they (mostly conservatives) want to conserve "the good old days/the way things are supposed to be" in their minds???

WHO CARES if someone says they're gay then realizes 5 years later they're bi. WHO CARES if someone says they're a girl and realizes after trying it out they're not. let people explore who they are until they figure it out even if they go through every lable available to them! maybe none fit and they make up their own! who cares! who cares if they change it every year for the rest of their lives! humans change. that's the only constant about us! why is it a bad thing, even taboo, to accept change and exploration within sexuality and gender specifically?

there's always so much shame that comes with someone realizing they were wrong, changing as a person, or discovering something new about themselves. i've seen people afraid to explore themselves more or afraid to talk about a change in identity, for fear of the queer community pushing back on them the same way they're afraid to come out to the cishets in their life who are trans/homophobic. that's just not fair that their own community can become hostile towards them, too. being in a closet within a bigger closet essentially. everyone is always told to figure it all out first before claiming an identity, because then you're locked in it for life, apparently. you can't change your mind after that. why though? what's the point of that really? why can't we embrace fluidity a bit more? why can't we accept that humans do change all the time? why is making and trying to prove that these identities are static/unchanging/innate the only way to validate them? why can't they just, I don't know, BE VALID. without reason. why must we jump through hoops to be valid when we should just automatically be valid because we are human. stop letting the cishets gatekeep everything, leading to us gatekeeping each other!

I am sometimes very hesitant to talk about my own identity. I identified as a gay/biromantic trans guy for like idk 8-10 years? transitioned and everything. then like a year or two ago, I realized/decided that doesn't fit right anymore. now i'm a nonbinary, but also kinda fluid, aroace person. sometimes I don't like to talk about that because of the stigma behind changing your gender/sexuality identities. but you know what. i'll talk about it anyway and people have to learn to accept it.

what were the consequences and bad parts about changing my mind/identity like that? none. absolutely none. (outside of people being weird about it for no reason) but the benefits are feeling more comfortable with myself, and that's no one else's business.

#lee rambles #lgbt #lgbtqia #what tag do people usually use. idk #sexuality #nonbinary #transgender #gender #i know some things you cant “change” like if you transition. reversing some parts might be hard. but who cares #change what you want. change back a 3rd time if you want. we should let people do what they want in a safe way. #we arent going to talk about and debate children and their ability to “choose” im not opening those worms. thats for another discussion #but i will say them simply using words to describe themselves (identity) and changing it later DOES ABSOLUTELY NO HARM. LET THEM DO IT. #we are not talking about physically changing things so dont argue that. only words. words dont harm ans are allowed to change. #but people gatekeep adults from words as well so its not “about the children” its people in general. #everyone wants to gatekeep everyone from gender/sexuality so much for some reason #but this isnt about “the children!” so lets not talk about them #if anyone tries to argue children i will instablock. you have no permissiom #anyway. i feel like this entire post is a whole unpopular opinion. it'll probably make someone mad or cause misunderstanding #because words are hard and explaining my thoughts is hard. but youre not allowed to argue with me. im tired and dont want to deal with it #thats my boundary and im setting it up. no arguing. im not asking for debate or opnions. im simply rambling to myself snd anyone who #might not have thought about this before? idk. not sure who im rambling to or why i even added specific tags lmao #im tired and sleep deprived where am i going with this.......

shit I forgot the topic! let's say malevolent for the hot take

aaahh trying to get me crucified i see /j

hmmm. hot take but I think that the current season is the weakest. it feels like its being pulled in too many directions. there are a lot of interesting plot threads (larson, the butcher, daniel, scratch, john's deal, the cult, etc) and while many of them are related and will probably resolve in an interconnected way, there are still too many and I think the show is not giving any of them enough attention and weight

#i like it still and many great moments dont get me wrong #but i find it hard to stay super invested in one when sometimes it feels like bouncing between them #yknow #ty for the ask! :) #i only say this is a hot take bc i havent seen anyone else say it lol #for all i know it isnt an unpopular opinion #my asks #masked

My takeaway from the quotes in the new art book is that the writers agree that the royal trio was the best part. Ok cool. THEN WHY DIDNT WE GET MORE OF THEM

#so this isnt an unpopular opinion after all #i fuckin knew it #apparently fans have been giving feedback that they used akechi and sumire a LOT #even though we only have them for a single palace #they dont think it would be good to bring them back again considering how popular they are??? #so they know that ppl r willing to pay for more content with them. so why the drought? #just give me the royal trio please for the love of god #and thats not even mentioning the love triangle comment like HELLO #persona 5 #persona 5 royal #royal trio #my post

im getting tired of people acting like someone using anti tags are dramatic or chronically online, i mean some people may be but not all of them

if you want to talk shit about something use: the anti tags

if you want to talk about how much you love a thing: use the pro tags or the normal fandom tags

that way people can filter out what they do or dont like

do not post things you like in the anti tags and do not post things you hate in the pro tags

if you want to talk shit about people who use anti tags: DONT USE THE ANTI TAGS

if you are going to complain about people tagging incorrectly AND THEN DONT TAG CORRECTLY IM GOING TO EAT YOUR KNEES

also if you like something but then keep going in the anti of that thing please stop and just block the tag dont try and debate people who use the tag you're not going to change their mind there's a reason why they're posting in that tag

btw if you see a random anti post out in the wild that isnt tagged properly you have full right to get upset, im just asking for yall to not just go in the anti-tags to complain use the General tags or the pro-tags instead

(sorry if this comes off as rude or harsh im just annoyed with how often this happens)

#Fandom etiquette #<does this count #fandom #i dont know if i have a place to talk on this because i have only been on tumblr since 2019 #but i have very strong opinions #and i get pissed off easy #aka i went in a anti tag and i saw people who like the thing in there acting as if we're crazy #like if you like the ship thats fine but dont use our tags #like yeah ship and let ship but also i have the right to shit talk it with my friends who also dont like it #dove rambles #this isnt talking about anyone in particular just a bunch of people doing the same thing and it pissed me off #tag properly #tag correctly #pls i beg of you theres a reason why it exists #unpopular opinion #ig #im sorry to my mutuals

#i know this is an unpopular opinion but #i also think it. shouldn't be #i wish people would pull back on calling dan and phil slurs #like calling them fags isnt a haha cute thing imo its just uhhhh calling a stranger a slur #pls can someone tell me im not fucking crazy like its not normal to call someone who is not your close personal friend a fag. right #and to be clear i think if youre even a little gay you get to call yourself a fag idfc #but maybe pull back on calling gay celebrities derogatory terms like theyre cute pet names thats not how reclaiming works #genuinely no hate to anyone i am so aware that its not done with bad intent but it does make be feel.......

So one minute it's Christmas and they're trying to find a way to get Bonnie back then the next it's February 5th and they're celebrating Bonnie's birthday without her?

#TVD #tvdu lb #series 6 #The Day I Tried to Live #Bonnie Bennett #i dont know im just reminded why i dont often rewatch this series im not a fan of how they handle things which like i get it everyone #processes grief differently but some of the choices are just bizarre like the way Elena and Stefan find out Carolines mother has cancer #before she does after Elena compels the information out of a doctor and then she berates Stefan for 'letting' Caroline give her mother #vampire blood and the whole Bonnie would want us to throw a party for the birthday she isnt here for while Bonnie is contemplating suicide #in the prison world?? dunno just kinda feels like theyre making everyone elses grief about Elena imo sorry unpopular opinion probably

Of the firm belief that of course there's no shame in having a phobia, but there is shame in those who do not find issue with not working away from said phobia.

If you're arachnophobic, i understand, i get it, but if you think you can go through life without experiencing A Spider you're sorely mistaken. So you should take measures to be sure that you can perform as well as possible when facing your phobia.

I have a phobia of adult praying mantises and have long since hated that i found them so disturbing for seemingly no reason, since i knew they're great for natural pest control. Due to the kind of person i am, i recently was given a hatching egg sack of... So. So many praying mantises. I had the chance to say no to it. I took the initiative to work on myself and raise them in hopes it would help my phobia.

I'm not saying everyone who has a snake phobia should go pick up a snake and befriend it, or those with phobias of heights need to go skydiving. But a phobia is a condition, and should be something you work on. It's an explanation of your behavior, but not an excuse. A phobia is a chance to learn how to better understand the world you live in, not shut it out.

#phobias #bug mention #snake mention #spider mention #probably an unpopular opinion but i feel like im in the right to say it seeing as im not phobia free #facing your fears isnt necessarily just being unfeeling about sometjing scary #its about learning how it works and whether your fear is founded or not #so many people with snake phobias seem tp think snakes will eat you. do u know how badøy designed humans are? #we are not aerodynamic at all #a snake would first have to be So Big not just any little 5 or 6 foot snake cpuld get ya #and itd have to start at ur feet and hope your arms are over your head cause otherwise ya wouldnt fit in it #we are so poorly made that its near impossible for snakes to eat us #theres been One Case of a. i think a retic or burmese python eating someone. One. Case #dogs have killed more people. #and if a snake bites you chances are you were bothering it first they arent gonna hunt you down snakes dont lnow spite #snake rant over. for now.

Unpopular opinion: Giving Lizzie the canary curse or some new bird curse is really annoying. Most of the fandom gave Jimmy the curse after Double life because he died first THREE TIMES IN A ROW. Lizzie who's only played 2/5 times just had unfortunate deaths. Hell she would of gone far in last life if it weren't for bdubs killing her so he could come yellow. Why give her the canary curse when she's only died first once??? Unless she dies first again why give her a curse?

I guess it's harmless fun but guys, the curse was created because Jimmy kept dying, he didn't get it in third life -_-

strongly agree | agree | neutral | disagree | strongly disagree

listen i do first need to correct you on one point: canary jimmy came from last life, all the og posts about it were from like late 2021 and i know people who kicked that off asfgemkg but otherwise YEAH lizzie is. not a canary. its not just ''dying first'' its your death signalling the downward spiral of the series, every time.

i would actually argue that secret life jimmy still carries the curse in some form, as he was the first to die during the chaos of the wither v warden fight which has kind of torn the server to shreds, and i can bet that session 7 is gonna get more deadly. lizzies death is poetic because it ISNT a warning, it isnt a curse, it was a horrible mishap that most of the server was fully ready to brush past like it didnt happen. there were cheers that lizzie died, because it meant jimmy didnt die first, and thats tragic in its own way, ykno?

okay i think this is about to be an unpopular opinion but…. these two are like 2 sides of the same coin to me. beyond the shared public safety allegiance, they both violate denji's autonomy (yoshida stripping him to his underwear, tying him up, and threating his family in chapter 132 vs fumiko assaulting him in the movie theater in chapter 136) and work against his own best interest for the sake of the government. however, while they both take action in trying to force denji to do what they want, fumiko takes a more directly active role in the space of the fanatic who can't see/ doesnt care about the human behind her idol, whereas yoshida takes the more passive role of the government drone who wont act to protect the human if it means going against orders. in previous chapters, fumiko actively runs away from denji, leaving him to fight for himself, while yoshida passively tells denji that he isnt allowed to protect himself, putting him in harms way in his own right (and there is still the underlying threat of violence there if he tries to protect himself). even in the panels from this chapter, we see fumiko being active about her disregard for denji's well being by asking for little pieces of him, where yoshida is more passive in his disregard of the plan to dismember denji with a simple "yeah" answer. i know that they also have their differences, but i just think that they share intentional similarities (that other characters, particularly in the chainsaw man church, also share!!) that overall lead to denji getting hurt.

#chainsaw man #csm #chainsaw man manga spoilers #csm 156 #spence.speaks #guys pls don't come for me... #know that this is all fun & games and if yoshida is your scrimblo then please enjoy away!!! but #listen. the yaoi goggles are real and they're blinding some people #sorry…. just know that i've been there too.... #i don't really like either of them... but i hate to see a man get praised while a woman is getting hated on #it doesn't sit right with me #i've just lived through too much fandom misogyny to let fumiko get hate every chapter (even though it's deserved) #while yoshida gets “aww it must be really hard for him to hurt denji like this” (which is definitely not deserved at this point.) #don't worry guys in 20 chapters when yoshida finally shakes off public safety and helps denji i'll be willing to take this back #but until then... he is not denji's friend to me lol #anyways enough waxing about this #flop post incoming

people who single out marauders fan artists like likeafunerall and blame them for feminizing sirius need to chill the fuck out and take a break from the internet. there's currently a tiktok going around with some unpopular (and valid) marauders opinions, one of them being something along the lines of "I prefer masc Sirius! " which AGAIN is very very valid. what ISNT however are the comments going absolutely insane over fem Sirius and blaming individual artists for ruining Sirius, as if seeing him as a short long haired guy had ruined their perception of him forever. I'm just wondering if theyre aware that. that's. transphobia. like standard definition of transphobia. "Sirius cant be a woman theyre making wolfstar look like a straight couple" ARE YOU LISTENING TO YOURSELF? they claim to be inclusive and woke but their acceptance stops at anything beyond two white twinks kissing. and it SUCKS bc the "fanon vs canon marauders" discussion can very much feel like a fight between two sides and it's just a fact that a majority of these transphobic assholes is on "my side" (preferring canon over fanon). Ik that this is mostly owed to the fact that the fandom is GIGANTIC and parted into many sub fandoms and I used to be fine with that but it's gotten to the point where I feel like I need to clarify my position every time I interact with people within the fandom "yes I prefer canon over fanon, no i do not ship jegulus, yes I enjoy wolfstar a moderate amount, no I do not like the fanon version of wolfstar, yes I enjoy masc sirius, NO I AM NOT A TRANSPHOBE" to me, it has started to feel like theres almost nothing in-between thinly veiled misogyny ("remus is a casanova, sirius is 5'6, sirius needs remus help with studying") and thinly veiled transphobia ("sirius needs to be 6'4 and super masc and anything else isnt valid") and its starting to get me wondering why i am even still caring about this dumpster fire

There is a lot to unpack.

Individual artists and writers should not be blamed for something being popularized that is not canon. Individual creators should never be harassed or sent anything hate-like. Never.

There are two problems. One is fem!Sirius written in a misogynistic way where Sirius' "fem" traits are associated with misogynistic portrayals of women. Stupid, airheaded, need man to function, "hysterical," "dramatic." You get it. Sirius can be a woman, can be transfem, but Sirius is not stupid, airheaded, helpless, "hysterical" in canon.

The second problem. If Sirius is transfem Sirius should still be Sirius. Intelligent, loyal, quick-witted, cutting, intense. Those are not gendered traits. They can be for everyone. Sirius likes motorbikes. Likes creating things. Likes taking risks.

When some people see fem!Sirius art and also see misogynistic takes on fem!Sirius in fic, tumblr, tiktok they combine the two. Fem!Sirius as art or concept not the problem. Fem!Sirius where Sirius is nothing like canon and is only negative misogynistic stereotypes, that is the problem. That is more common nowadays.

If you want to write canon Sirius as transfem, OK. But make MtF Sirius with canon personality. As far as I know being transgender makes your personality shine better because you can be who you really are. If canon Sirius is written as transfem then canon Sirius personality should shine more?

So it is not the concept of fem!Sirius that is the problem. It is the execution. To me fem!Sirius should be similar to Bellatrix but fighting for good and not prejudiced. Canon Bellatrix is a formidable witch. Transfem Sirius would be also.
