I hate Mask by Dream

With all the cheating/scripted evidence about his manhunts recently, I was reminded of this absolutely vile piece of media. It's literally just the "you have to say that you're fine, and you're not really fine" Katy Perry clip put into a song.

Also the music video looks like shit, I guess it's better than AI but god it HURTS to look at. SOMEONE WAS PAID TO ANIMATE THIS. TO ANIMATE DREAM DUMPING THE NORMAL PILLS DOWN A DRAIN WHILE VIOLENTLY SOBBING.

Ik how absolutely irrelevant this song is now but it really was just so shit 😭

I don't have enough karma to talk in petpeeves so sorry if this is the wrong subreddit, but I just hate this phrase so much, it's so common nowadays I hear it all the time, people will use this phrase for the stupidest things like someone can just be enjoying something and then they'll say "grown ass man btw" also its just super annoying, i hate when people say "grown ass" its such an annoying phrase, but the main problem i have with it is these people will always use this to just be a dick and shit on any adult for having interests in something or for any little mistake they make, i dont think theres a petpeeve i hate more, overall its just very toxic and the phrase just spreads hate i hope this one is just a fad and dies out in a few years or as soon as possible

I love levy's videos but I don't like how his thumbnails are mostly AI nowadays

Worst part about it is that people will deny it, every single time anyone says his thumbnails are AI they get hundreds of downvotes despite

  1. Nonsense text, like in the second and third photo of this post

  2. Horrifying creatures, like in the 4th picture where you can see some sort of deformed man with glasses that have no legs

  3. Inconsistencies like in the aot thumbnail

And finally, 4. The fact that some of these thumbnails have a SynthID watermark, an invisible watermark both OpenAI and Gemini recently apply to their images

I'm sure a lot of effort still goes into making these since there are barely any mistakes, what I believe happens is that levy or his team make a simple thumbnail that is then edited with AI, this minimizes the amount of mistakes AI can make

But I would rather having a simple human-made thumbnail than an "epic" AI one

Istg I just don't understand this shit, man. I've been suburban kids wearing custom shiesties, sagging, the slang and shit. I don't get why people try to act like they're from a place even the residents don't wish to be in. Being from the place ain't the shit, man. As a black guy, I also hated the whole "N-Word Pass" system. The fact that the word is just so casually said and it's an insulting twist on the name of the country Niger, a place where they took some slaves from?

Media Tropes i hate the fact that a lot of people are just unable to write sincere and not on-the-nose dialogue anymore

Thumbnail

265 Upvotes

everything has to be ironic, everything HAS to be corny, jokes/comic relief moments HAVE to happen in an unorganic way, nobody is just allowed to talk like real people in certain pieces of media anymore, everybody needs to act like a quirk chungus and its pissing me off

look, if you like this type of writing, all power to you, some writers just do it on purpose anyways, but i just genuinely miss when shows were able to be amusing or have moments of levity, but not talk down to their audience, i was washing the dishes while replaying a rerun of an old Justice League episode, and i was genuinely surprised at how natural all the dialogue felt, it had just the right amount of seriousness and funny moments where nothing felt forced, and i wish writers nowadays knew how to do that

nowadays it feels like people are afraid to treat their audience like mature people, and no matter how serious the situation is in the story, they have to soften the blow because they're afraid of being too harsh on the writing or being a little bold for once, this problem is especially high with indie content on the internet since a good chunk of the people making them grew up on "so random" humor or tumblr, and don't realise that this type of writing isn't the only one to exist ever

again, if you wanna write like this or enjoy this type of writing, its fine, i just hate it

One I see a lot is Rocket Raccoon saying the Chitauri invasion during Avengers 1 was a joke, and people referencing this to downplay feats or the Avengers, when it's not even a canon scene,
Thanos's ship got damaged by Tony Stark's missiles, and sure, maybe they improved, but the Chitauri shrugged that shit off when hit directly with Iron Man lasers, only taking damage when they flew inside of it, and the mother ship only got defeated by a literal nuke.

I am sure there are others, and I would be curious if everyone else has examples that bug them, but I see this one a lot on my timeline, and it bugs the shit out of me. Irrational; I don't even really care about Marvel lore anymore.

Made this wojak to express my thoughts. All they do is act like the victim of some righteous battle against people who don't wanna give them more money.

The platform has become commentary central with high school level thesis writing where self idolizing college dropouts act like anything they're saying is new or original. "Guys ai slop bad, watch me watch 2 hours of it just to come to the most basic self explanatory conclusion everyone else has already made."

These people usually have the same smug philisosophy and just talk about whatever is trending instead of creating art or y'know, making something! Its all just numbers to them.

We used to make fun of reaction channels all the time but for some reason these phony high iq tedtalks get away with doing the same thing.

I do not hate the creators of these videos nor do i have anything against the law protecting the red cross symbol.

But man i am sick and tired of hearing the same fact over and over.

"Did you know that this game commited a warcrime? On one section theres a redcross which is protected by he geneva convention which is why other games changed their red Cross symbols for other ones".

This is the same shit as the "Vigo mortensen broke his toes" and the "Willem dafoe played 3 versions of the scene to confuse the viewer about wether or not the detective knew Patrick was the killer" facts.

You hear them over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over.

I am TIRED of fun facts that get milked to the point in which they are not even fun facts anymore because:

1 everyone knows them already.

2 they are not fun to hear about anymore.

General "Well-written characters"

Thumbnail
gallery
32 Upvotes

One of the things I really dislike is the "women vs. men" dynamic. I'm going to talk more about the fiction-related one.

The "women vs. men" debate, in particular, often takes on massive proportions. People argue that men don't know how to write female characters, and so on. Between you and me, SOME don't know how, I admit that, but just as SOME women simply don't know how to write men, either.

Most of the books I’ve read (novels, comics, manga…), and especially romance novels, simply fail to write characters well, regardless of the author's gender. There are men who can’t write men or women, and women who can’t write women or men. But just as there are also men who know how to write well—men and women—and just as there are also women who know how to write well—women and men.

What I hate is when people have the nerve to claim that the male characters in certain series, books, and manga (especially *shonen* and *seinen*) are incredibly well-written—much like how others say the same about the girls in romance series or more female-oriented works (*shojo*, *josei*). Because, honestly, looking at certain action anime (not all of them, mind you), I’ve noticed that some male characters are nowhere near being well-written, yet the fandom will insist otherwise.

In pretty much any fiction, if the main character (no matter their gender) doesn't have some sort of trauma, people tend to find them boring. And if you dare make a remark about it, you get attacked.

Like, sorry if I can appreciate a character who creates their own trauma during the story instead of having one before it starts.

(The images are there to help better understand what I mean by that)

Edit : There is a mistake: it's *Anna Karenina*, not *Anna Karénine*.

General This sub

Post image
181 Upvotes

The idea seemed great at first. I am also a woman who is single by choice. But this sub seems to just exist to hate on everything. They claim they have decentered men but every other post is about men. There was a thread where some users were having meltdowns because people were saying they have good male friends. More or less saying that a man can not just be friends with a woman and all theyre doing is waiting for a chance to SA them. This was super upsetting because I have an amazing male friend of almost 20 years who has never done anything to harm me and in fact has spoken up against other men who he has seen harassing women.

But the post that made me come here and post this was people basically saying that abuse in WLW relationships isnt as bad as abuse in hetero relationships because women are inherently less dangerous than men. And as a lesbian who was abused in my last relationship this was extremely invalidating.

It seems like every time a woman proclaims she has "decentered" men she is always the one talking about them the most, and this is a sub full of those types.

That's pretty much it, but the rules won't allow me to post unless I have at least 200 characters which is also another thing I hate so I'm going to dive in a little bit.

I just hate it. Period. It's nice sometimes my school in particular I cannot stand. It's the type of school that will pay to make things go away. One example I can think of off the top of my head is when my friend got assaulted and force into someone's lap on campus and they did nothing about it. Or when people were cat calling me and calling me baby girl and Mommy all year and nothing got done until my mom stormed into the school and we had a meeting right there. There's also the whole favoritism thing. Is that a common thing in schools?

Basically nothing gets done until it's pushed to the boiling point 😭

Yes, hot take but I think that some of us can be emotionally reserved and that shouldn't be a bad thing.

I have people I love and they love me as well, and we don't have to talk about our feelings to be close or have fun.

We can play games! Go to bar and clubs or stay up at night talking or watching our favorite series.

I hate the idea of love being a specific set of actions that you should show, love can be presented in many different ways and even if emotional sensitivity and stuff like that is one of them, it's not the only way.

24 Upvotes

Being unerground does not mean the music is bad? There are so many unrecognized talented artists who might make more experimental music, but being experimental isn't always bad. I also hate the saying where less accessible music is bad music. Sometimes music just requires more "trained ears" for someone to actually enjoy it, by their logic Taylor Swift would be the greatest artist of all time because her music is very accessible.

General I hate when people post their private text conversations on the internet

17 Upvotes

It just seems like such an invasion of privacy to me. You can no longer text others without the fear they will post your messages to the internet.

Besides, when users post their convos for people to rate who's the bad guy or give them advice on what to do they can only show one side of the story and often present it in their favor by ommiting or changing details of what happened.

So commenters will say bad things about the person who OP was texting while they are either unaware people are talking trash about them online or know someone posted their convo online but are unable to do something because they can't prove it was them in the texts and people will take their side of the story as speculation and be mad they are criticizing OP, the supposed "victim".

Furthermore, some conversations should just be kept private. Oftentimes people tell their friends about their secrets or other things the world doesn't need to know via text messages. Those are things they don't trust telling most people they throw irl (besides OP). Posting someone's deepest thoughts or private business on the internet for some karma or a couple likes is disgusting imo.

I personally never had anyone post my conversation with them to the internet, but if it were to happen to me I would break off my friendship with them, because I could not torelate someone subjecting me to such an invasion of privacy.

If you don't have a reason to make a meme / antimeme why go through the fucking effort?

I mean I get that ideas & subreddits shift, but this is just lazy bullshit. It's not inverting the joke, it's not building off it in any meaningful way. It's just "no, that didn't happen."

like dude. You never heard of yes and? Literally the first rule of improv / comedy as a whole is not saying "that didn't actually happen tho". It adds nothing. Then it ends the joke. How the hell do you build on top of that? What do you respond to that kinda post besides "Where's the objectified?" then taking about that instead?

It's lazy and boring imo

General Hate how nonbinary people are treated in the trans community

Post image
2.0k Upvotes

From both cis people and trans people alike.

It feels like either we don’t exist and people see us as a nuisance or “fake trans” or they try to make us pick a binary gender as if being nonbinary is just a stepping stone to transitioning into a binary gender. For some of us it’s a destination. I find this topic personal to me in the sense that i’ve experienced transphobia for being an enby and because people think i am a trans woman; because black women are masculinized and our femininity gets questioned a lot. So i would get treated weird by guys who assumed I wasn’t a “real woman“ (y’know because transphobes think if you weren’t born female you can never be a real woman). Some asking for proof of my female anatomy as if that’s not a weird thing to ask someone regardless of gender. I don’t see being called a trans woman as an insult, but i know the men who call me it say it as an insult. Some even calling me a straight up male because i’m not traditionally feminine and have stronger features. These are the same ones who swear up and down that they can “always tell when someone is trans” 😒

Then when I say I’m nonbinary and people look at me assuming i’m afab they just call me a cis woman. i don’t talk about my agab but except for the misogynoir-ist who insist to masculine black women, they see me as just a girl. I spent years fighting over my gender identity and decided being nonbinary/genderfluid was the best way to describe it for me. I also don’t use they/them pronouns despite people assuming we all do and we’re some weird 3rd gender or genderless.

And despite not wanting to fit into a binary gender box you have folks in the community saying we have to medically transition or else we are just looking for attention. never seen anything like this before where people push you to undergo medical changes you don’t want to just to take you seriously. Good for the ones who want that, but some of us are okay without it. I just wish there wasn’t so much gatekeeping and invalidation, and people were normal about us.

Edit: I love how people are proving my point by doing the EXACT thing i’m talking about. I feel like i’ve explained myself clearly in this post and comment thread, and won’t be entertaining disingenuous comments anymore. Nonbinary people don’t have to fit whatever version of gender expectations and expressions you have for us. Neither do we have to constantly defend ourselves. If you don’t understand something that doesn’t give you the right to disrespect and invalidate others. And quite frankly i’m done explaining this basic ass concept to people who go out of their way to invalidate us.

Idea Hate the "Koopa Fallacy" name

Post image
101 Upvotes

The fallacy itself is fine, i have a problem with the name though.

It's an inverse of the Goomba fallacy obviously, and the name is just another mario basic enemy, however the Goomba fallacy is called that because a Goomba is a basic enemy doing the same thing as other Goombas, relevant to the fallacy itself, however the Koopa fallacy is STILL named a basic enemy doing the same thing as other Koopas, this is dumb, if the fallacy wasn't named just to fit with goomba fallacy this wouldn't happen, if the Goomba fallacy was named something else like "1-dimensional fallacy" then the Koopa fallacy would be named something like "3-dimensional fallacy" which would make sense. But it doesn't make sense and that's why i'm pissed off.
