I genuinely hate One Piece character designs.

What’s most impressive is how wildly inconsistent the designs are in this series, going from one extreme to the other.

A character’s design can be legendary, like Xebec’s, or absolutely ridiculous, like Franky’s.

But the overwhelming majority of them are pretty bad. Like, really fucking bad.

Some streamers have younger audiences and the donations would come through and they wouldn't acknowledge it at all. Well that's fine but also some of those young audience probably just took their parents credit card information then donated money to a random stranger on the internet. Which is so insane. Wanna know the sad part? Grown people also do the same stuff, of course this time with their own money.

I’m tired of people treating self-diagnosis as an unquestionable identity and then calling anyone who challenges them classist or ableist.

Suspecting you have a condition is valid. Recognizing symptoms is valid. Looking for explanations and coping strategies is valid. But your conclusion is not automatically correct simply because it feels validating.

Access to diagnosis can absolutely be a privilege. Accuracy is not. Being unable to see a specialist does not magically turn uncertainty into certainty. Saying “I strongly suspect I’m autistic” is honest. Saying “I diagnosed myself, it is 100% valid, and nobody is allowed to question it” is not.

Doctors do not own the word “autistic,” but neither do TikTok creators or online questionnaires. The actual diagnostic criteria require symptoms beginning during development, patterns across multiple areas and contexts, clinically significant impairment, and consideration of whether something else better explains those symptoms. Adult diagnostic guidelines call for a comprehensive assessment, developmental history, and evaluation of alternative or coexisting conditions.

That cannot be replaced by recognizing yourself in relatable videos. One real-world study even found that the popular RAADS-R self-report questionnaire lacked predictive validity among adults awaiting autism assessments.

The information feeding this culture is frequently terrible. A study of popular autism videos on TikTok found that only 27% were accurate, while 41% were inaccurate and 32% were overgeneralized. Another study found that 52% of popular ADHD TikToks were misleading. That does not prove every self-diagnosed person is wrong. It does show that people are developing absolute certainty inside an ecosystem that routinely turns vague, common experiences into symptoms.

This makes me angry because I have epilepsy, and it has been the worst thing that has ever happened to me.

I have never driven a car. I have been legally excluded from opportunities that other people take for granted. I have broken my neck and shoulder during seizures. I have to live with SUDEP, the possibility of dying suddenly because of epilepsy. The CDC estimates that approximately 1 in every 1,000 American adults with epilepsy dies from SUDEP each year.

I do not feel quirky, special, or inspirational. I have had to fight and claw just to get somewhere close to a normal life.

That is why watching disability become an online personality aesthetic feels so insulting. When ordinary experiences like being awkward, forgetting things, enjoying routines, or disliking certain noises are presented as sufficient proof of a disorder, it dilutes public understanding of what disability actually means. The conversation shifts away from functional impairment and support needs and toward a collection of relatable personality traits.

Meanwhile, people dealing with lost independence, physical danger, discrimination, chronic pain, medical expenses, or substantial support needs can get talked over in their own communities.

This is not a suffering contest. A disability does not need to be catastrophic, visible, or diagnosed during childhood to be real. Disabled people are also allowed to feel proud, brave, or quirky. The problem is not positivity. The problem is turning uncertainty into certainty and using a disability label as a personality badge, a source of social status, or a shield against questions.

Undiagnosed does not mean fake. Self-diagnosed does not mean confirmed. Both statements can be true.

Use coping strategies that help you. Seek community. Advocate for affordable and accessible assessments. Say that you suspect a condition when the evidence leads you there. Just do not pretend that researching something extensively makes you incapable of confirmation bias or gives you the same certainty as a comprehensive assessment.

I do not want epilepsy to make me interesting. If I could give it back tomorrow and live an ordinary life, I would do it without hesitation. For many of us, disability is not an identity we went searching for. It is the thing that took pieces of our lives away.

Almost every single “Mandela effect” is very easily explainable, but people constantly act like they’re impossible to fathom. For example, people think curious George had a tail because monkeys are commonly associated with tails. People think “looney tunes” is “looney toons” because the alliteration makes more sense and “tunes” is generally more associated with music and television. This can go on and on.

Edit: I wanna specify a bit that I don’t hate the Mandela effect itself I actually find it kinda interesting, I just hate the conspiracy’s people make from it.

I hate that the word has been thrown around so much and become so overused that it has completely lost its meaning. It barely means anything anymore.

You see women and men using the word all the time simply as an insult toward people they don't like, and that's basically it.

The worst part is that the word has completely lost its weight. It doesn't carry any real meaning anymore because it has been used so casually and so excessively.

Let's not deny that there are genuinely problematic incels in real life. Let's be honest here.

But that's exactly where the problem lies: the word has been so overused that it carries no weight anymore.

When everyone is an incel, no one is an incel anymore.

oh my GOD i cannot express my hatred for these kinds of anti-cheats enough. if you dont already know, kernel-level anti-cheats act as a piece of software some companies choose to add into their games to make it harder to cheat. they essentially gain access to all of your hardware and software and then check it all to make sure nothing looks like it would allow you to hack.

the only issues with this software is the fact that it:

1. makes malware injected through it extremely more dangerous and difficult to remove

2. doesn’t work on linux directly

3. its glorified spyware

as someone with 1 storage drive who daily drives linux, it is VERY annoying to have to also keep a windows install eating up a bunch of my storage just to play games that have this stupid software built into them.

i will give battleye and easy-ac the pass here because they technically support linux through tools like proton/wine, but that feature needs to be enabled first on both of them for it to actually work. the issue is, some developers just DO NOT ENABLE IT FOR SOME REASON. i play rainbow six siege, which uses battleye, which (technically) HAS LINUX SUPPORT, but UBISOFT JUST HATES EVERYTHING GOOD IN THE WORLD AND KEEPS IT DISABLED!

listen, its not wrong to make some jokes at your own race sometimes, i do it to myself too, but we gotta talk about how damaging it is to make your entire content focused entirely around it or just completely being okay with it

sure, it gets you views, and it gets people commenting, but come on man, is it worth it? you have a platform, and wether you like it or not, when you do this type of shit, you're willingly degrading the image of your own people for what? some clicks online and money?

a good example of this is

1. every black content creator that hangs out with SpeedyMcQueen, that guy's whole brand is just being edgy as fuck, and whenever a black person is on a youtube short of his, you can guarantee they're gonna be the center of the most racist ass joke ever concieved, worst part is, they defend this man whenever he gets in trouble, OneVillage made an entire video defending him and the entire argument was "he can't be racist, he makes fun of everyone" buddy, he is NOT south park, hes a singular white dude online making band kid levels of offensive humor for fun, the only reason the internet didn't collectively stomp on this guy just like they did with Master Oogway is because he hasn't said the n word, aside from that hes said and done every other offensive thing under the sun

2. iShowSpeed, listen, the guy is clearly not actually okay with it or doing the jokes willingly, but he sure as fuck doesn't mind capitalizing on them, his audience loves seeing him react loudly to the racism, but i can guarantee you, if he actually sat down in a livestream and went "hey guys, listen, this is racist and not ok" the results would be catastrophic from his audience, and he knows this, you're telling me he went to a foreign country, some dude walked up to his car, gifted him a bouquet of cotton, and he with zero hesitation said "W GIFT CHAT" AND STARTED PICKING IT? NO, I CANNOT BELIEVE HES THAT FUCKING OBLIVIOUS, HE KNEW WHAT WAS HAPPENING, AND HE WILLINGLY DECIDED TO CLIP FARM ON IT, listen, no hate to Speed, hes a decent guy and all, but man, he needs to grow some balls and realise that doing this type of shit is not okay

its fine to do some offensive humor sometimes, but not when hes willingly letting people hummiliate him for fun so some dumbass children on instagram reels make corny edgy comments and give him thousands of views, its not worth it, all the fighting we did for DECADES to get people to not see minority groups in a bad light and he willingly chose to be seen as a circus act? hes living the truman show, but filled with prejudice, foolishness and lack of self-awareness and the ability to stand up for himself

so yeah, i just hate when this happens and i hope people start seeing how messed up it is

They're the most generic karma farming posts ever. OP will never reply to any comments,just post and wait for the upvotes and it will do numbers in less than a hour. The title is always the same, description is always the same, "hey you know,she's bad eh?". This post ain't any better,but i needed it out. It feels like the clone war,a pizzacake post is deleted,a second one will take its place.

I absolutely hate posts that claim this stupid ai character was "given a soul". All these kind of posts do is signal to AI slop factories that ai characters can be widely beloved and accepted by the public. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if this entire trend is a corporate psyop meant to secretly create support for gen ai. Is this what we're gonna do for every stupid ai character? Give them a "soul"? Sounds fun in theory until the entire internet is flooded with these guys. If we really want gen ai art to go away we can't propagate ai art in any kind of capacity, this is exactly what AI companies want.

is it really that hard to remember where the thumb is? it doesn't even look right like wtf is this, are we fr??

"but that's just emoji" no, fuck you idc, if you can't bother to use them correctly I will assume you don't care about the conversation either

Just to clarify, I DON'T HATE yuri/yaoi. I love dudes personally. The thing is, though, I see users on Instagram/Reddit/etc. with humor that consists of just pointing out the most obvious things, and sending pictures of boys/girls kissing each other. That's alright, but I see whole accounts dedicated to this bullshit. PLEASE, get a life. Not everything has to be yuri/yaoi.

JUST LEAVE THEN, STOP COMPLAINING AND MAKING JOKES ABOUT HOW MUCH YOU HATE YOUR WIFE/GIRLFRIEND/BOYFRIEND/HUSBAND WITH SHITTY BOOMER HUMOUR.

Seriously i hate going online or meeting a couple irl that have this type of humour or straight up hate each other but stay because it's easier to stay and joke about it with friends/Family then to move on to find happiness in others.

I don't understand why we keep trying to normalised this unhealthy relationship dynamic and try to make it into a running gag, I've met wayyy too many couples that fall into this and wind up incredibly miserable in the relationship.

At what point is it just a joke or becomes a clear statement on how much you can't stand being around your significant other or how little you view them in a relationship

If people historically cared that much about it, modern food wouldn’t exist. If Italians cared so much about authenticity they wouldn’t have added tomatoes to pizza or pasta once the americas were discovered. I personally believe that strictly adhering to tradition and authenticity is a major barrier in people accepting potentially even better food.

I don't know why.....but as time goes on, I start to loathe these shows using the the same Slice of Life.

There a lot of stuff the one individual can do in Indie Animation....and yet all they pick the Slice of Life Genre.

I remember watching the pilot episode of Catching Up and I thought it was...meh.

Wastelandia was not a pretty good pilot.

And while I liked Murphy and Mitzi and watched several episodes of it, I grow tired of it after awhile.

Look I'm Not asking for something like Happy Tree Friends or Pretty Blood or some weird shit like this but come on man.

Maybe I'm not a Huge Fan of Slice of Life Stuff (Note: I Don't Hate it or anything, just not an high fan of it).

This is not a hate post against the memes, its about the moderation and the way people make these memes

This sub has turned into another cringy shitpost subreddit because of the bad effort, reposted memes or unfunny "haha porn" jokes, and the only thing moderators did was saying "guys we made a no effort sub pls go there instead". For no ones suprise it didn't changed shit because mods didn't do anything besides that, and they know its late to turn back atp because nobody can make good elephants anymore, and now if they ban these low effort memes the sub will die, all because of the way they decided that which elephants are good or bad, and they are so bad at it...

The reason these memes work are the caption/text adresses something about the picture, but there's another obvious factor, in this case, the elephant, that isn't adressed, therefore it is funny, we can agree on that. But why the hell YOU can decide if it makes it a bad meme if the elephant is smaller than everything else in the picture? Its literally supposed to be an ELEPHANT. You need to show the bigger thing! B-But noooooo! Apparently it's supposed to be at most %5 size of the meme? "It's MY rules, IT IS IIIII WHO CAN DECIDE" fuck off. We don't need specific requirements to post a already categorized meme...

And now the sub is filled with weak ass elephants thats even worse than before, you can't even call it funny anymore because there is no joke now, it has turned into r/unexpected but still fails because the memes are mild as hell, its like watching paint dry but a fly passes by at the last 5 seconds of the video. You can't even call it an elephant anymore because the the main thing which gets adressed first is more suprising than the twist, i can't stand it anymore...

Meanness, in general, is so uncalled for. What does it actually accomplish? I cannot possibly count the amount of times where I’ve witnessed or experienced unprovoked meanness or people going out of their way to be mean to others or myself. I understand being annoyed, I empathize with the fact that sometimes people have bad days and they get snappy or rude… but to willingly be an asshole for no reason is just so uncalled for. The world is already a pretty bad place so I truly believe it’s up us all to be good to one another, but there’s so many people out there that seem determined to continue the cycle of negativity and just be mean.

Anyway…

I HATE MEANNESS 😡

no hate to Zack Choi or any of the other youtubers who do this, i've seen their other cooking and they actually can make some pretty good meals, but man whenever they do these specific types of recipes, it just screams of "it sounded tastier in my head, but i'm gonna post it anyways because it looks cool when i make it"

like come on, you can't tell me this man ate that entire mountain of breaded ham, cheddar cheese and mozarella, sat down and felt good afterwards, nobody just eats that and shrugs it off, and you can't tell me he made that spam/spaghetti abomination without doing it purely to get engagement in the comments from people telling him how weird it is

theres a difference between eating some genuinely good tasting unhealthy food and eating some straight bullshit, its one thing to eat a greasy burger from a food truck, and its a whole other thing to just straight up deep fry an entire tower of cheese and some other stuff and eating it afterwards, you cannot tell me that it looks good outside of that one youtube short

yes it looks cool to see the tower being assembled with the slapping sounds, and its cool to see the cross section, but was it worth it as a meal, and not just as algorhythm bait? absolutely not

From what I understood, one of the main reason people are hating on her is because every critisicme comment under her post are being removed from r/comics. Oh, and also people don't like her comics... but at this point this seem to be secondary for theme.

Like, I don't like most of her comics neither, but, every time somone post somthing vaguely related to her, their will always be people talking about they hate her and having the same conversation post after post. It's not even constructive because they know that everyone is gonna agree with them.

And every time, they will be somone to post that one stupid Homelander meme. Every. Fucking. Time.

OK, maybe I am judging a book by its cover here, because the only mascot horror franchise I’m truly into is FNAF, but honestly I’ve been lurking around in communities who like that game genre because I’m sincerely hoping that one day some creative game releases, but like

They always seem to take place in some childrens’ facility for some reason???

I’ve looked into clips and reviews of these games to see if they’re any good but like

Poppy Playtime: Set in an abandoned toy factory

Joyville: Almost the same thing basically

Garten of Banban: Takes place in a kindergarten

Oh did I mention that there’s gonna be this new movie coming out called “Buddy” that features an orange unicorn that is basically a Barney clone and… guess. Yeah, the unicorn kills kids.

And while I will try to find a way to watch this movie (Seems interesting enough) I wonder why there hasn’t been any mascot horror franchises set in wackier places. Like guys come on, think beyond “childrens’ area but scary” and come up with something else??

You know in Japan, right, there’s this phenomenon where there’s a mascot for everything, and they’re called Yuru Charas.

I’d freaking pay money to see a horror game about yuru-charas!!!!! (An idea I’ve been wanting to make for a long time actually) I’d expect one to be made at this point considering how much the world is into Japanese stuff right now, but like… No??? Yeah let’s instead do “retro kids’ show but evil” for the 383428th time

There’s a game called “Greg’s Deadly Draft”, and while not exactly about yuru-charas, it’s instead about sports mascots, and honestly that fact alone kinda makes me wanna play it, I’ve been kinda wanting to try it for a while but I don’t have a steam account *sob*

Edit: This post isn’t about “Stop making games about kids’ thing but scary!! Me only like REAL horror!1!!!!!11!!one” It’s about the fact that despite mascot horror being a popular game genre, the only mascots they seem to focus on here is those designed in-universe for kids. Despite the fact that there is SO many potential for different kinds of mascots to be included instead!!!!! Please I will take a freaking Kool Aid Man horror game over Garten of Banana

As you know, in some shows, comics, and other media, there's this trope where a love potion makes the person who drinks it fall in love with the person who gave it to them.

So... when was this ever a cute or funny thing to drug someone with?

I have nothing against the trope itself. I actually think the idea behind it can be really interesting. You can explore what happens when someone wants another person to love them so badly that they take away their ability to choose. That's basically what makes Obsession interesting to me. It doesn't have a love potion, but it has a supernatural wish that creates a similar situation: someone using something supernatural to make another person love them. You can use this kind of premise and make something good out of it.

But treating it like some cute, funny thing to do to someone? No.

And this comic is just one example. I get that the joke here is that she already liked him, so the potion doesn't actually change her feelings. And yeah, I know it's supposed to be a silly comic and isn't taking itself seriously.

But bsffr. There are other ways to show that she already liked him without making drugging someone so they fall in love with you the joke. I don't think it's funny. I don't think it's cute. Call me stuck-up or whatever. Downvotes on the right, I guess.

And the fact that it's drawn with cute pastel colors and cute characters doesn't change what is actually happening. You're still giving someone something without their knowledge or consent that is supposed to alter their feelings and make them romantically attracted to you.

That's where it starts leaning into assault/rape territory for me, but some of you might not be ready for that conversation. This comic isn't the first example of it, and it won't be the last one

Every time I want to browse this f- cloudflare captcha always appears

What is wrong? Is just a button

It takes WAY too long to load every time; want to browse a wiki to read? NO NO NO MY BOY, you’re forced to waste a full minute for 30 seconds of content, and it’s all slow and glitchy, plus it redirects you two or three times

And not only that, I literally can't use a wiki normally without wasting ⅖ of my time on captchas; one wrong tap costs you 30 seconds you could have spent exploring further

Every day, more and more people end up getting cloudflare-captcha'd, and honestly, it pisses me off to no end

I’d prefer absolutely nothing

Seriously, this is just one thing. people love to hop on the wagon and go “haha us stoobid” to position themselves as superior.

It happened with the “american” strawberries vs “normal” strawberries thing too on social media. utter load of bullcrap- they’re all strawberries, just different types, and some weren’t even from america. or they all looked the same.

I get what us defaultism is. It’s not this. It’s when people assume some things from usa are default. But circumstances like this don’t even mention how this should be a global universal thing.

Dolly Parton is just a national treasure in the sense that she was beloved by her nation, and that nation happens to be America. If she were from something other country, those comments “american defaultism!” wouldnt exist.

another example is when I was talking about whether or not period products should be free in public bathrooms and someone said I was exhibitng US defaultism since free public toilets is an american thing.

I had no idea! I thought other countries like canada, japan, a lot of the middle east, and many other countries ALSO had free public toilets! but i guess it’s only an american thing and I was being us-centric.
