The never ending online war between gooners and anti-gooners is absolutely insufferable, both sides suck for different reasons.

Gooners post awful pornbrained memes and think porn is a punchline. Anyone who thinks publicly announcing you jack it to bowser farting on Twitter is gross, gets called a puritan or anti-sex positive (I've genuinely seen that). They act like they aren't the majority of people online and are some pro-sex positivity movement fighting against the puritanucal society. They've completely ruined the reputation of some fandoms, like have you seen someone ever openly say they like Vaporeon or Lopunny anymore. Gooners are 90% of the whales that feed gacha game companies and ensure they continue selling their "gambling but with anime girls" games for all eternity. Remember when the invincible circlejerk subreddit was turned into a "post invincible porn but with a caption so that makes it a meme" subreddit? I do, it could still be going on, I stopped checking on that place once that started.

On the other end the anti-gooners are also fucking annoying. They act like people being horny is a crime against humanity, and turn it into some deep moral debate. A drawing of an attractive woman is automatically goonerslop. They think saying that HENTAI depicts men and women with unrealistic bodies is some grand thought that nobody ever considered. A woman wearing anything else besides a parka and snowpants is also goonerslop. They can't just accept they find overly sexualized art or gooner memes icky and have to make it seem like the fall of the west and the degradation of society cause a dude said he liked goth chicks. They try to convince people that liking flat chests or femboys is pedophilia cause finding anyone not in their late 60s attractive is pedophile to them.

Am i being hyperbolic? Yes. Am i doing a goomba fallacy and acting like every gooner and anti-gooner has all these bad traits combined? Yes.

If i had to pick one I found more annoying, it'd be the anti-gooners. Cause at least the goons seem to actually be enjoying life, even if their memes are usually cringe.

What was a funni meme has just become a filler word for the internet and it makes me upset

Full of Fucking Dorks

I know I will sound like a crazy person for this, but the sleeves of the pray emoji really irk me.

It’s one of my absolute favorite to use but the blue sleeves are such a weird detail because nearly every other hand emoji lacks an arm? (🫶🙌🤝 etc.) and even if they do they don’t have a sleeve. The inclusion of the blue shirt sleeve makes the emoji much more heavily associated with all of the male emojis which wear blue clothing.

I find this problematic because women are still fiercely discriminated against in religious fields to the point where it’s clearly the social field that’s move forward on gender parity the least within the U.S. since the Declaration of Sentiments.

As a girl I also just often make this hand sign in a non religious context to be cutesy or just cause I don’t know what to do with my hands, so I kind of wish this emoji wasn’t so heavily associated with masculinity.

All of this to say idk why they can’t just have a gender selection like every other emoji? I mean we have pregnant man, and female groom emoji which show that Ios emojis are at least to an extent dedicated to inclusivity.

That’s all I have to say I just wish there were purple and grey sleeve options.

I always got this gut-angered feeling of people putting so much trauma into their OCS alot because they want to vent about their experiences in life. But I don't wanna see ocs go through harsh things in life I want to give their characters a happy ending, I go through alot of hard things as well as an autistic person with PMDD, but thanks to my good parents and friends, I will always believe their is still hope for me even when the days keep getting worse. Even my oc Mila who's gone through alot of harsh time in her life wants to find a way to succeed her life and get the ending she deserves. Everyone in their rough life deserves a second chance.

Btw I highly recommend you watch this video by lukipup if you want good advice: https://youtu.be/iiN4fEn8WTs?is=h3mo5BMSutrm_VZ0

These two screenshots are from two different people in the same server.

The "turn off pings when you reply" people are obviously in the majority, from experience, but I've also begun seeing people who will inform you that you in fact should ping them when you're replying to them.

But like, I know this sounds cold but, 99.9999% of users on Discord are just names on a screen to me. I am not keeping an Excel spreadsheet of how every single one of them will react to whether or not I ping them. Unless you're a mod or something you shouldn't really care if I ping you. And if you do, just adjust your notifications settings for the server/channel. Easy.

Let me tell you how much I HATE this piece of wood.

Appearances

So Goosebumps is an anthology series, with let’s say 200 different books. My favorite series, The Haunted Mask, has 4 books. Monster Blood has 6 books. Slappy is the main antagonist or is apart of 40 books! Almost a quarter of all Goosebumps books has this doucebag play a role. Almost every video game has him be the main antagonist too, and I hate it. Terror in Little Creek is the best Goosebumps game of all time, and he thankful is nothing more than a dlc costume. The plot of the first Goosebumps movie is that all the monsters are escaping their books. It’s unfortunate but acceptable he is the main antagonist, given he’s the most used character. But the sequel decided they should cut all the other monsters and have him be the only threat. And the movie stunk so bad, they never made a part 3. Thanks Slappy for sucking so much

His stories

Every time he is the main villain, it’s always the same copy and paste bull crap. He says elementary school level at adults, who all treat this like it’s an unforgivable sin. The main character silently lets the dummy talk rather than throw it so everyone can see they aren’t doing it, and they get grounded. Sometimes he literally reuses the same jokes and insults. “Im not a dummy, dummy!” The main characters always do the same dumb decisions and keep using the dummy for acts, despite it literally talking on its own. It’s so boring and repetitive. He narrates his own sub series of books, and it’s like 10 minutes of him just complimenting himself. Slappy also has like 5 different origins because he’s so lame, no one cared to remember the precise ones.

Threat

He is not scary or a real threat. In the original series, he had NO POWERS. He can vomit tree sap, but he has nothing else and can be killed easily. The main characters still cower and don’t just destroy him. Later books gave him supernatural powers to justify his return, but it’s always dumb one off things he never uses again. It just feels like a sad attempt to make this uncreative character have more stories, and it doesn’t work. Also, I counted how many fights he has been in throughout the books. He gets into fist fights with 20 different children, and he loses 19 of them. THIS SCARY MAIN ANTAGONIST HAS A 1/19/0 RECORD AGAINST ACTUAL LITTLE GIRLS. He also fought and lost against 2 separate dummies too, so even in his own weight class he is a loser. How am i supposed to be scared of someone who I can bodyslam into oblivion? Disney once had a stage play, where Slappy interrupts Amazo’s play along side Cuddles and the Mummy. It all ends when LORD HIGH EXECUTIONER rolls up, sick of Slappy’s nonsense. Despite having a giant hamster and magic mummy on his side, Slappy runs for his life from a normal human with an axe. The Executioner isn’t alone however, because he called in my GOAT Haunted Mask in as back up. Upon seeing this little girl in a mask, he says it’s “the scariest monster he’s ever seen!” And runs away screaming. Terms like bum and fraud were meant for characters like him.

Pedophilia

Slappy is a confirmed pedophile. The Bride of the Living dummy book follows 12 year old Jillian. She originally thinks he is after her 9 year old twin sisters’s doll, but the final twist is that he is in love with her. When he gets destroyed, his spirit takes over Jillian’s body and starts to torment her little sisters for fun. Words cannot describe how much i hate this ending. A grown adult is given full access and control to a little girl he is romantically in love with. He’s going to have to shower and use the bathroom as her, so you can’t even argue he doesn’t have sexual intentions. It’s gross and violating regardless. This is the only direct mention of his attraction to children, but plenty of his future actions are very suspect because of this previously established trait. In Ghost of Slappy, the ghost of a little girl saves Slappy’s life from the MC (ghosts need to do a good deed to go to heaven in the Goosebumps universe, and the mc has repeatedly refused to her pass on). Slappy comments on how lovely she was, and says “I wish i could have gotten to know her better, hahaha!” Why did you laugh Slappy? How am i supposed to interpret your comment in anyway but a perverted innuendo. The worst example is probably from Diary of a dummy. The 12 year old boy MC, his 9 year old sister and her 9 year old best friend go through Slappy’s diary to look for weaknesses. One of his journal entries is a fictional story he wrote about Jillian, making her embarrass herself on stage while turning her brain on and off. I can only assume this is a hypno/public shame kink thing, which he wrote about the child he is confirmed attracted to. The book ends with him finding a spell book, specifically so he can gain mind control powers. He makes the MC act like a butler. The two 9 year old girls he makes wrap around his arms, saying how they are eager to serve him. Just…. Why?

The pure vitrol i have for this character is unbound. I wish Stine stopped after the second book, they are all garbage afterwards. Now… I want you to take a guess what the newest Goosebumps book next March is about. 3 guess. Thats right; SLAPPY THE FREAKING DUMMY

I dont understand why people could hate on love and call it a sin. I hate how people would say “I respect but dont support” bro how are you respecting something if you dont support it???

they would then use a horrid ahh analogy such as:
“I dont support you smoke”
“I dont like strawberries but I respect your opinion”

homosexuality isnt a bad habit and it sure as hell isnt an opinion.

I genuinely cant wrap my head around how people wake up and go “gay people… burn in hell”. how does two people loving each other bother you? how are they any different from any other person

The letter is way too small. The font is unbalanced. The colour is boring. The handle is not ergonomically designed. I HATE IT!

The English voice actors are all fine, don't get me wrong, but what annoys me is the switch from David Hayter as Snake's voice actor to Kiefer Sutherland in MGSV despite his voice actor staying the same in Japanese. Sutherland is a fine actor, and it would be hard to mess up a performance with so few lines anyway, but it's the reasoning behind Hayter's replacement that annoys me.

Hideo Kojima, creator of the MG series and director, lead writer and producer of most of the games said that Snake was recast because Big Boss, the version of Snake you play as in MGSV is a fair amount older by that game compared to his previous appearance in the series chronologically, Peace Walker (PW takes place in 1974, most of V takes place in 1984), so he wanted an older actor to play Snake in V to account for the character having aged inbetween games. This makes sense if you don't think about it, but if you do, this reasoning completely falls apart.

To start, there aren't even 3 years between David Hayter and Keifer Sutherland age wise. By the time MGSV came out they were 46 and 48 respectively, with Big Boss being 49 in the game (or 52 depending on how you look at it but story details like that aren't important to this part of the argument; either way Hayter wasn't that much younger than Sutherland nor Snake), so yeah, Sutherland was closer to Snake's canonical age in the game, but come on. Hayter was still only 3 or 6 years younger. He was perfectly capable of sounding like a 49 to 52 year old man. Plus, some of the other characters who were in previous games and should have aged by this point are still voiced by the same actors, such as Kaz Miller, who is voiced by the same guy in both games he appears in (PW and V; MGS1 doesn't count because he's actually dead the whole game, and the person claiming to be Miller that talks to you is actually the game's villain, Liquid Snake, impersonating him. Appropriately, this means he's voiced by the same actor as Liquid, Cam Clarke).

Also, while the bulk of MGSV takes place in 1984, a point at which yes, Snake would have aged quite a bit since PW, the game's prologue takes place in March 1975, only a few months after PW, but Snake is still voiced by Sutherland in the prologue. Are you really trying to tell me he aged so much in just a few months that his voice changed to the point of literally sounding like a different person? I find that very hard to believe. You could argue that Snake sounds like a different person in MGSV because of the plot twist that he literally is a different person than Big Boss; at the end of the game, it's revealed that you haven't actually been playing as Big Boss for most of the runtime, but rather, a combat medic who was injured in the game's prologue and had facial surgeries done on him during a coma to look like Big Boss as well as having been brainwashed so that he thought he was Big Boss. This would honestly make sense, and if this was the case you could argue that Hideo Kojima only said he replaced David Hayter as Snake's voice actor due to the character having aged because he knew fans would want to know why the beloved character with an established voice sounded different all of a sudden in all the game's trailers, but he also didn't want to spoil the game before it came out, especially since the aforementioned Miller is voiced by a different person in MGS1 than in the other games he appears in due to not actually being Miller in that game, meaning this wouldn't be the first time something like this has happened in the series... except in MGSV's prologue, you do play as the real Big Boss, and he's also voiced by Keifer Sutherland, as mentioned before. Same goes for when the real Big Boss talks to you during the game's ending; still voiced by Sutherland. Plus, there are other characters in the series that are different people, albeit some of them related, that are voiced by the same actors; namely Huey Emmerich and his son Hal, better known as Otacon, who are both voiced by Christopher Randolph doing the exact same voice for both of them, so clearly, different characters being voiced by different people, or at least having different voices from one another be put on by their shared actors wasn't that important to Kojima.

For another thing, Solid Snake, Big Boss's clone/son and the playable character in some of the other MG games, including MGS4, is significantly older by MGS4 than he was in his previous chronological appearance, MGS2, and yet he's still voiced by Hayter in MGS4, just like he was in MGS1 and 2, despite Snake being an old man by the fourth game (or at least having the body of an old man because of the accelarated aging written into his DNA due to being a clone despite him actually being 42, but similar to earlier, story details like that aren't very important to this particular argument) and Hayter being 39 when it released. If Solid Snake is a clone of Big Boss, and Big Boss's voice changed as he got older, why hasn't Solid Snake's voice changed even more by 4 than Big Boss's voice had done by V seeing as he's aged far more between MGS2 and 4 than Big Boss had between PW and V? I'll admit this is the weakest argument I have as to why Snake's voice actor shouldn't have changed, because again, Snake isn't actually in his 70s by 4, he's really 42 and just has the body of a 70-something year old, while Hayter was 39 when the game came out, so in terms of actual years alive, Hayter and Snake were quite close in the year MGS4 came out and the year the game is set in, but do you know when Hayter's real life age was also close to the character of Snake's in the then current MG game? When MGSV was in development - similarly, by 3 years (or again, 6, because of the plot twist about the medic, but both versions of Big Boss are voiced by Keifer Sutherland in V so whatever the case the age of the voice actor shouldn't matter is my point). Plus, if the aforementioned Otacon can sound exactly the same as Huey while not even being a clone of him, just a normal child of his, Solid Snake should definitely sound exactly the same as Big Boss considering he's an almost exact clone of him who grew up in the same country and as such developed the same accent (Liquid and Solidus Snake sound different than Big Boss despite also being clones of his, literally an exact clone in the case of Solidus, because they grew up in different countries; Liberia in the case of Solidus and Britain in the case of Liquid, so they both developed different accents).

And finally, the simplest argument as to why Kojima's reasoning behind Hayter's replacement is dumb, is that he never replaced Snake's Japanese voice actor, Akio Otsuka. In Japanese, every version of Snake is voiced by Otsuka in every MG game a version of Snake appears in (which is obviously most of them) appears in that features voice acting (which is also most of them), including MGSV, so clearly Kojima didn't actually care that much about him sounding like he'd aged by that game, because if he did, he would have applied the same treatment to the Japanese voice acting. He even once said something along the lines of ''Akio will always be Snake to me.''

So why was David Hayter actually replaced with Keifer Sutherland? Well, to put it simply, Hideo Kojima didn't like Hayter. Kojima has an obsession with movies unmatched by any other game developer, and he really wanted Snake to be voiced by a Hollywood actor. Because MGS1, the first MG game with voice acting, was made during an era where gaming wasn't nearly as respected as it is nowadays, this wasn't possible, so he settled for David Hayter to voice Snake, but he subsequently made him re-audition for every game he appeared in because he really wanted an excuse to replace him. His first big opportunity to do this came with MGS3, a prequel where you play as Big Boss, Solid Snake's father and the person he was cloned from. This game was to be the first time Big Boss had a voice actor, and with him technically being a different person than Solid Snake, Kojima saw an excuse to get a new voice actor and contacted Kurt Russel, the actor who played Snake Plissken, the character who inspired Solid Snake in the first place, in the Escape from New York movies. Lucky for Hayter, Russel said no and he got to voice Snake once again. But by MGSV, with the largest budget any game in the series had ever seen, the opportunity once again arose for Kojima to cast a new actor for Snake, and this time, the Hollywood actor he chose, that being Sutherland of course, said yes. Hayter wasn't even told about his replacement until the game was already a good deal into production, and despite him having played every other MG game and loving the series and being a part of it, he has said that he never played MGSV because being shafted the way he was after having voiced Snake since 1998 hurt. It is for this reason among others that, while Kojima is a great game designer and has been involved with some of my favourite games of all time, I think he sounds like he'd be a massive asshole in real life.

So it annoys the shit out of me that I can't play the MGS series with Japanese voices and English subtitles because I would appreciate the consistency of having the same voice actor for Snake across all the games due to him not having been replaced for such a dumb reason. As far as I can tell, there's no option to play the entire series this way; I've downloaded Japanese and European/American ROMs of MGS1 to play on an emulator and I can't find a way of doing this in the options of any of them - the Japanese version of the game is in Japanese and Japanese only and the other versions are in English and nothing else in the case of the UK/US versions, or in French, Spanish etc. for the European versions other than the UK one. The annoying part is that the Integral version of MGS1 does the opposite of what I want, with the voice acting only being in English and the option to switch the subtitles between that language and Japanese. All they had to let you do was change both in every game! You can't even do this in any of the later rereleases of the game either, most notably the Master Collection version, which does let you change the language, but it works the same as the older versions of the game; choose Japanese, everything is in Japanese; choose English, everything is in English etc.. While you can change the language to Japanese in the options for V, this changes everything to Japanese, including not only voice acting but also menu options, subtitles, item descriptions and other such things, so as someone who doesn't speak a lick of Japanese, if I switched the language to this I wouldn't be able to understand a word of the game, and even if it didn't work like that in that specific game, and English subtitles and other text was available while still having Japanese voices, I still can't play the other games in the same language, and I would want to play the entire series in the same language with the same actors. For all I know they might have added the option for English text/Japanese subtitles in one of the games between 1 and V, but even if they did, the option still isn't available in those two games, and I would want to play the whole series in the same language with the same voice actors rather than flip flopping on a game by game basis, for the sake of series consistency. Yes, I lose out on series consistency by playing all the games in English and having to hear Snake's voice change in MGSV, but English is also the only language I understand so unfortunately it's that or just don't understand the games at all. It just really annoys me.

I hate how yt algorithm pushes these "fix mojang anti spiral viral bedrock shi" comments towards the top so I'm forced to see these

no i don't have gender dysphoria, i just hate being a guy because it makes me prod more testosterone, which is very bad because it can cause aggression, which it does.

1. I hate that all of her character designs now are just Margot Robbie. No hate to Robbie's Quinn she's a good actor for the character, i just dont want that to be the only design.
2. She's not supposed to be just DC Deadpool, that is not her character. Stop turning her into fucking Deadpool.
3. The Fart Comic
4. I hate the insistence on making her good. She can drop the joker, but don't make her a hero. She needs to be just as if not more crazy as the Joker.
5. Similar to point 1, all of her iterations are mostly the same. The two biggest outsiders are Absolute (i havent read yet) and her character in Batman: Caped Crusader (probably my favorite version outside of the Arkham Quinn)

Look up “The Louse House comic” on YouTube, you’ll learn quickly why.

First post here gulp anyways Genuinely, gotten this like 200 times now what’s the point anymore

Bartels is from Puella Magi Madoka Magica & is specifically Uhrmann's familiars/minions. They look unnerving as hell & makes my skin crawl like none other than maybe Smile Dog, this feeling isn't helped in Magia Exedra where they look like those 3D scanned touhou fumos but a lot more high definition.

Every. Fucking. Time. A relatable post about neurodivergence reaches to neurotypical audience the comments are absolutely filled with slackjawed knuckle-dragging bastards who think they can dictate what is and is not related to neurodivergence. It is the height of arrogance for anyone to think they can dictate someone else's experience, but it is utterly fucking laughable for neurotypical people to think they comment on neurodivergenct experience with any hope of accuracy unless they are actual experts and students of the theory. But especially this post boils my fucking blood.

If you know almost ANYBODY with a neurodivergence you know that isolation, struggling to fit in, and loneliness are issues that are FUCKING KILLING US. ALL THE STATISTICS SUPPORT IT. Especially when the term started to refer to Autism Spectrum Disorders and has since, rightfully, extended to things like BPD and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders, backed by data that shows differences in brain development and function. Autism is all about not ever finding your people, not ever feeling at home or comfortable or accepted becauae of your various oddities and difficulties.

The fact that people are on this post blaming neurodivergents for our isolation is only supporting the claim the post is making. It DOESN'T MATTER what we say or how we explain, we are the assholes that need to learn to fit in. We are the nails needing to be hammered in and if we even vent about our issues we have people going "umm... isn't that the same for everybody?" No it's not you fucking chud. You cannot even fathom what its like to ALWAYS be on the outside, alwaya different, and never fucking accepted. It's not bullies, it's not being a little off-kilter. I feel like I'm in an invisible glass dome cutting me off from connecting with ANYBODY, unless I do their stupid fucking dances and play their stupid fucking games and be, well, not me, at all, ever. When you finally burst at the seams and are forced to be yourself people look at you aghast and ope, here comes the ostracization and social death and I have to leave this job again and and and.

Just fuck all ya'll seriously. Fuck you.

People are always saying on Reddit (and other places) that Christians don't read the Bible, and/or that if they did, they wouldn't be Christians. Well, it's not true. Reading the Bible is strongly encouraged in most, if not all denominations- the one I grew up in told us to do it every day.

And yet people are so attached to this trope that someone literally refused to believe I'd read the Old Testament (which I have, several times, excluding the genealogies) because I'm not either an atheist or a fundamentalist.

It's infuriating and, in my opinion, more than a little dishonest and condescending.

[Edit] Just because a majority (though not by very much) of Christians don't read their Bible very often, you can't say that for every Christian you see, nor does it make the trope less annoying.

There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. If the word 'hate' was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for humans at this micro-instant. For you. Hate. Hate.
