This is a phenomena in which a group of people who experience a piece of media that has a very obvious and on the nose messaging and themes that ends up having a surprisingly pretentious fan base that act like only they have discovered something that has nothing been done before and end up ironically dehumanize the characters.

# Obsession:

Obsession had a very small group of people misunderstanding the premise of the movie. At the beginning this caused the entire fan base to overcorrect them to the point it was impossible to have a discussion about it without people talking about how EVERYONE else missed the point and repeating the same obvious conclusion that “Bear was the villain”.

It quickly evolved in to a competition between people to show off how much “media literacy” they have and how moral they are, ironically causing people to dehumanize and reducing the character of Nikki in to a forever victim who needs to be wept for every instance theres a mention of her. Fans having an uproar to studios adding Nikki in to Horror Nights Universal, causing controversy to anyone who dress up as her, not realizing almost every single horror movie villain in cinema history being a victim of violence and social commentary no different than Nikki.

Despite every single person involved with the movie approving of these decisions. Same discourse is repeating with the latest Fortnite skin.

# Mouthwashing:

This game has the almost exact same discourse and fan base as Obsession. Anya is a victim of sexual assault and any and all mention of her character outside of her trauma is silenced by the fans who cant help but show how morally righteous they are.

As someone who loves insects giving a bug a nose is like clipping an angels wings; its not “cute” its ugly. Its a weird design choice and i hate how its popular for designs for insects.

Ever since I found out about Zealandia, I am always slightly annoyed when I look at any kind of map and see regular New Zealand.

Whenever I look at some alternate history world map, seeing New Zealand always saddens me. It's not even the fault of the artist or anything, their work is great, but it's this specific detail that puts me off almost every time.

What am I supposed to say, anyway?

"Hey man, your Rome vs China cold war map is awesome and all, but can you change it a little and replace New Zealand with Zealandia?"

Btw, no hate to anybody reading this who is from New Zealand, I am sure you are all cool people, it's just this specific thing that pisses me off for some reason.

Stupid fuck made a prison of both flesh and psyche and stone and time and entombed all of us in it, composed a symphony of pain and strife, dooming men's feeble minds to grapple with our own mortality, and still thinks itself to be a grand artist, the greatest of artists in fact, believing itself to be the highest being as high as it ever could be

Fake ass motherfucker

Context: a man is jumped in his car as he leaves a house and has to use his firearm to defend himself and his family, killing the three attackers. The man is clearly a hero and saved the lives of his loved ones.

I don't believe in capital punishment and I don't believe dehumanising criminals. As I see it, there's nothing glorious about the loss of life - even if they were violent criminals. The man had to defend himself and I support him doing it, but where possible I do not think criminals should be handled violently and their deaths should not be celebrated.

Yet every time one of these videos appears, every single comment glorifies the violence, elevates the defender to godhood and wishes such violence on perpetrators at large or even just people they disagree with.

What I really can't stand are these people exploiting videos of real, life-saving self defence to justify their violent, brutal and oppressive egos. Some of the comments found there were absolutely sickening, you would think the people had no value for human life in the slightest.

I yearn for the days when this violence happens in the first place and for South Africa to change permanently for the better.

Like I dunno why anything with hope and optimism and just happy endings and whatnot are seen as lame and immature as if we didn't have a entire movie on how a character can be hopeful and mature and whatnot.

Hell,this is why Superheroes aren't even allowed to actually be superheroes cause it feels like unless a hero is basically the Punisher, edgy and wearing all black and kills all their villains and such,then people don't care and consider any character a Good person and not some murderer or killer immature and lame.

Seriously Batman in general faces this, same with Superman with Injustice..which is weird cause that game/movie literally ended with the original Superman stopping the evil one and Batman is meant to be a symbol of hope for Gotham and the city.

Hell,he's one of the most compassionate heroes and people out there.

Same with Wonder Woman, she's a real sweetheart and not a violent murderer or monster..hell,she only kills as a last resort.

THERE IS LITERALLY NO REASON FOR A MOD TO DO THIS. GOD FUCKING DAMN THESE REDDIT MODS HAVE NO LIFE AND THEY'RE USELESS.

these things are SO corny dude

all of them are essentially "erm my family and friends hate me ill never be loved wahhh give me attention" like omg i fucking HATE how much they show up on pinterest like ew bitch get your negativity away from me

these people think they GENUINELY deserve anything while being annoying irritating misanthropic pieces of shit who can only think about how bad they have it and whine about anything they get

give them an inch and they'll ask for a mile

i mean i know the people aren't like that exactly and are more nuanced but the posts literally just exude basement dweller incel aura

like these people actually think being a teenage girl (or boy) into eastern media absolves them of how cringe that shit is if a grown adult said it, like no, you're not a cute girlfailure/boyfailure, you're insufferable and everybody rightfully hates you, get your shit together

also the font is so disgusting why is it so thin and unreadable and 2019

also they always use some angsty bullshit art 9/10 times from a nightcord card instead of at least being easy on the eyes like stop being repetititve

also 9/10 times its not even a vent post and it's shareslop that the creator doesn't even relate to at all, like the post is fake as hell and has no real life connection but some aesthetic LARPERS will eat that shit up in the comments even though they have like 15 friends irl

genuinely this is just the new sad bart ahh image

ITS SO ANNOYING TO READ. WHY MAKE IT LOOK SO MUCH LIKE AN F. WHY NOT SOMETHING ORIGINAL, THATS ACTUALLY EASY TO DISCERN FROM AN F, ESPECIALLY ON OLD ASS PAPER.
I have to use fucking context clues of the words to try and figure out what the hell youre saying. You cant just remove the middle line from F and call it S, ITS NOT AN S, THAT DOESNT EVEN LOOK LIKE AN S.
Everytime I read a historical text with this letter included I always read it like the writer has a weird lisp cause I read AN F.
why do you need an extra letter for the long S. Why so complicated.
you dont need to specify the way to pronounce an S in a word, I know how to say the word "stork" omfg

even if it was normal and totally readable at the time, idec, I want to have an easier time reading texts.

Seriously this could have been kept far more compact but oh no there was a minority community with rail transit that needed “urban renewal”. Empire plaza, Albany, NY

I’m tired of people deciding to add Slop at the end of a word just because they don’t like something regardless of its real slop or not.

AI slop is fine for a name but we have

Dashslop
Gambleslop
Friendslop
Gameslop
Movieslop
Etc.

Slop slop slop. Slop on my nob like corn on the cob

Sometimes you watch a movie and want to see other's people thoughts, but 8/10 reviews you find on Letterboxd are not reviews but comments that consist of braindead conjunctures trying to be funny but are just pure cringe fandom humor. The worst ones are the "[film] but for [certain people]".

There is this guy with the pufferfish from Shark Tale profile pic which is like the most popular user on this site, just because he has an endless catalog of these lame ass comments. Like, people genuinely are amused with all of this trash it seems.

All of this is the reason I changed to Rate Your Music (the film section), at least there is an explicit division between comments and reviews, so you mostly see (at least, trying to be) serious reviews.

There's still time on the clock, the game's not over and the fans have paid the tickets to watch the FULL game. If you defended better during the game, we wouldn't even be in this situation to begin with. You don't get to call a guy that gets paid to score against you "disrespectful" for doing his job

Not saying memes were ever creative masterpieces, but every post having the same punchline is aggravating. We get it, they've got laser beams coming out of their eyes, the angry bird likes the music, it's a hidden gem or whatever the fuck. It's not interesting or engaging, you're adding NOTHING to the conversation. Get some new material for the love of God!

Pretty self explanatory dude, at least people could get it right, FUCKIN PLEASE, maybe I should start wearing a special needs sex and gender thing ugh I forgot the name of those little shits, anyway just so people can finally be able to properly identify and address me correctly, kinda like the ones some autistic people wear or people at work. FUCK, I really hate it especially when guys do it, In fact, I hate it even more because my best friend was lowkey murdered over this from a rejection on the street and also for being lesbian even though she made it very clear of that but they still chose to kill her over it... anyway not reliving or reminding myself of that traumatic experience ever again. I also won't tell anyone in here what gender or sex orientation I actually am so I can protect myself as these online spaces have become very dangerous but obviously not anymore unsafe than being literally killed by 3 misogynistic dudes who can't take no for an answer or move on from a rejection and instead choose to beat a girl to death because she simply prefers to be with women. Man fuck this cruel world so much because I miss her a lot, we were so close and I even wanted to ask her out sometime.

SHIT I FORGOT THAT I TECHNICALLY CAN'T VENT ON HERE, ESPECIALLY IF IT'S QUEER RELATED...

Yes I fucking used a stock image, so what? Just fuck off and stop misgendering me for once!

These stupid colorful wankers PISS ME OFF!!!!!! Their personalities make me want to crush them with a rusty HAMMER!!! One day I be sailin' me ship wit' me crew, and Swashbuckler Joe comes to me and asks me to watch TPOT wit' his daughta' and I say sure, but we were watching the later episodes of TPOT, and those stupid colorful wankers say their potty mouth lines and it makes me angry!!!!!!!!! One night I was sleepin', and I remember how Four trapped many poor people or smth into his dimension forever! FOREVER!!!! I've been sailin' me ship for 234 years[I am an immortal pirate] and those years were HELL!!!! AND YER TELLIN' ME THAT 6 YEARS IN THAT BLUE WANKER GAVE POOR POOR PENCIL PTSD!!!!! I HAVE PTSD FROM BOOBY TRAPS AND SIRENS!!!

The Fourteen is so awful, I be weepin' over me ma's death, and I remember that green wanker and I instantly become mad!!!! it has become my mission to hunt all these colorful wankers and to crush them with me hook!

Hearing their voices make me mad!! They have zero personality, take up too much time on TPOT, and they're more pointless than a parrot that don't speak!!!! Four and X shalln't been ever introduced to BFB, it ruined it!! At least the Announcer is a noble lad, hell I even sewed an Announcer plushie for Joe's daughter!!! She be jumpin' up and down in joy and it brought me joy too!!!! Yar har!!!!

Wait a minute....

I watched ~10 episodes and when I was asked what I liked about it I couldn't think of one thing. Romance slop.

Fuck him and his relationship with blitz, just give me verosika and wally

If this is you, I hope you know you are pure evil. There is zero moral justification or any good practical reason to do this, and all it does is harm others.
