Please don’t use that term. Use the term radfem to describe extreme feminists. They are toxic but the are in no way comparable to Nazis.

Using that term intentionally demonises the feminist movement while simultaneously undermining the plight of millions upon millions of people at the hands of genuine Nazis.

I don’t believe you intended to do so but you can actively choose to not use that term henceforth.

I’m sorry. It was just a very widespread term. Thanks for the heads up.

I still HATE when a man has a female friend, they’re expected to be in a romantic relationship, which is annoying as bollocks. This also applies to media, and dehumanises women MORE.

I hate all the bullshit surrounding so calling feminist agendas in media or gender politics in casting. The very fact that it’s 2021 and it is still unusual for women to be the focus of a movie and not be overtly sexualised is wild. I hate misogyny, I hate misogynistic behaviour and I’m sick of misogynistic fanboys gatekeeping and kicking off about female leads.

Honestly, I would far prefer that these toads would just own their misogyny and say " I hate Captain Marvel because I have a problem with a story about empowered women" than bitch and moan about how Disney’s “so called feminist agenda” is ruining all that is sacred blah blah blah.

They won’t, because they are cowards, and if they did I’d still fucking hate them but I’d at least be grateful they aren’t trying to use a smokescreen to mask their heartfelt prejudices.

There are plenty of reasons to dislike Captain Marvel (I personally really enjoy it but it definitely has flaws that irk me as do most MCU films) but if your anger is steming from a hatred of a woman get wrecked you big dumb baby.

Feel free to replace Captain Marvel with the Star Wars sequel trilogy, Ghostbusters, Charlie’s Angels, Thor: Love and Thunder or any other female led project that has angered the great unwashed man-childen of the world.

Yeah. Sorry for the boast but I didn’t give a fuck about Rey’s gender from Star Wars when I saw it.

I also HATE when a man has a female friend, they’re expected to be in a romantic relationship, which is annoying as bollocks. This also applies to media, and dehumanises women MORE.

I also remember my rant on the sexualisation of women. I know men have been sexualised, but its more often women, likely due to the male dominated culture. And my constant whining about Bond girls was stupid because there are plenty of women in Bond films that aren’t sexualised.

And speaking of that, if there’s anything worse than casual misogynists, it’s radical feminists that give feminism a bad name, which is one of the main causes of modern misogyny.

By the way, growing up in a small town, with barely any friends, I always liked films with a male lead because it was more ‘relatable’. Luckily, I am no longer like this.

Also, I used to browse Wojak and Chad memes, and was hit by transphobic and anti-Semitic memes. Fuck a quarter of the internet.

I really hate memes that make fun of people with disabilities, especially Down’s Syndrome. Portraying them as dumb, using the r-word, and using bad English is just the ableist internet equivalent of a minstrel show. It’s horrible.

Offensive memes can be done RIGHT, such as ‘dead baby comedy’, just don’t make fun of the target group.

I just wish I grew up in a more liberal town.

I’m ruined.

Thanks, you stupid geezers.

Well you definitely wouldn’t have been freshwater. You’re way too salty for that.

Good joke.

I agree I was excessively faultfinding what I was so depressed about. I still despise conservatives because they dictate how to live my life.

And the majority of people in my place is white, and of British descent. When I said ‘rape’ the world, I meant it as in ravage. I did indeed misuse it.

In short, I am in a very bad place and am surrounded by middle aged conservatives of British descent and blame the west for my suffering, and try to cope by exalting the East, by also being brainwashed by liberals to have a warped view on society. Biden may have lots of bad qualities, but AT LEAST he doesn’t deny CLIMATE CHANGE, so he’s SLIGHTLY better than Trump, who is at least slightly better than Hillary, who is at least slightly better than Bush, who is slightly better than Woodrow, who is at least slightly better than Buchanan.

Not exactly. It’s not like an image of them in peril or something. Just an ordinary photoshoot of them, usually smiling. But it’s so poor quality, think ‘high school graduation photo’ look, it’s not ‘last known photo’, more like ‘only known photo available before they died’

I’m really feeling hopeful for President Biden. He’s now putting the US back to the climate plan. Most importantly, he’s not Trump.

They replaced one elderly white man accused of rape and racism with a different elderly white man accused rape and racism, and they even got bonus points for the pedophilia.

Piss.

Oh god I’m sorry Darth Ender , I won’t do that anymore.

I just hate where I grew up. Europe is, in reality, a beautiful place with rich culture, including Christianity.

I actually hate my mental illnesses for making me be like this.

I still hate my mental illness.

The British Empire can go and choke on a bag of cocks.

Entire populations were wiped out because of these fake Christians.

And also, shoutout to the Norman douchebags for giving England feudalism.

I hate conformity. I hate the establishment. I hate how the first prime minister of Australia was a goddamn white supremacist.

I hate how most of the world has been heavily influenced by these fuckwads.

Also fuck the caste system. The east still has horrible customs, but the west still ravaged the world.

Fuck this. I wanted to be a fish

The Beatles are overrated. I mean they’re fine, but I really don’t get the appeal.

I used to love them, but there are lots of better bands like Pink Floyd.

Also I hate it when if you say you don’t like a band people think you mean it’s bad. I don’t like Led Zeppelin but agree they’re great and innovative.

I FUCKING HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE HAVE TO WHINGE ABOUT MODERN POP MUSIC AND SAY MUSIC WAS BETTER IN THE OLD DAYS

1968:

2012:

Probably not the best comparison. But it still shows that there has ALWAYS been bad mainstream music. Music in general never got worse, it’s just that the bad pop music has gotten more prevalent. If Sugar Sugar came out in the 2010s it probably would be held in the same regard as mainstream pop.

Haven’t you ever been browsing the web and notice someone’s name and the really suspicious looking picture? Like you know nothing about them but because the image of them is so poor quality, grainy, at a weird angle, in a random or single colour background as well as sometimes in black and white that you feel like they got killed or something? I dunno, just that unique looking image.

Anakin Starkiller said:

Jesus fucking christ I hate my life I hate the world I just hate everything. Existence is miserable.

There’s just no way I can think of to spin my current situation as being in anyway positive besides “it could be worse” which obviously it always can be, but that doesn’t mean I’m in a good place. I truly feel like I’m at the lowest point I’ve ever been. This past year has taken from me all but house and home (and family). I can’t think of a single thing I’ve gained from it. I’ve only lost things.

I mean Political Correctness as in SJW far left politics; hating straight white men, forced diversity/inclusion, and nitpicking movies and hating them just for not having a strong female lead.

I recognise that you don’t want an argument, I don’t either - so please don’t feel you have to reply to this if you don’t want to - but surely this isn’t what far-left means. The amount of people I’ve ever seen or heard of who automatically hate straight white men is extremely small - that’s more often used as an insult against genuine feminists or people like poor Krystina Arielle who are strongly anti-racist. What’s more, the people who make up representation problems - the kind of people who complained that there weren’t enough woman in Dunkirk - tend to be liberals who care more about the rhetoric of social inclusion than actual equality, and not far leftists.

Thank you so very much. I lurk in Reddit and Miraheze Reception Wikis a lot, because I am very depressed. Perhaps I should stay off them, and maybe could be directed to better ones.

Maybe it’s just me. I have OCD and am on the spectrum.

However, I still hate the establishment/elite, and having to live by a failing system.

Aaaahhh I’m so sorry. Did I do anything wrong? Please god no.

I support equal rights for every type of human, race, gender, whatever.

And things like the ShirtStorm incident.

I am NOT right-wing. I’m sorry I wasn’t very clear. I am very glad Trump is out.

I’ll stop here as I don’t want a heated argument.

JackNapier, may you please inform me why you deleted your comments? I wasn’t trying to look right-wing or stir up anything. I’m very very sorry if I said something wrong.

What? I hate political correctness because it brainwashed me into being ‘woke’ and becoming very sensitive.

I FUCKING HATE POLITICAL CORRECTNESS SOOOOO FUCKING MUCH

Modern mainstream music is absolutely not just hip hop. There are more genres and broad access to them than ever before. And ironically, the aural synthwave aesthetic from the 80s has come back into vogue in pop with the likes of The Weeknd, Dua Lipa, Bleachers, 5SOS, etc. And it’s not like Daft Punk has become any less relevant.

The idea that hip hop has some sort of monopoly on popular music nowadays is laughable to me. Especially when you’ve got the whitest bread Shawn Mendes, Billie Eilish, Harry Styles, or Taylor Swift topping charts. If anything, things have dominantly gotten very alternative. Even the rap scene has trended in that direction with production moving with the influence of Ludwig Gorranson’s Gambino work.

Hip hop as a whole isn’t even inherently bad. I’m sure there’s stuff within that vast umbrella that you could probably like.

Correct. There’s still great stuff like King Gizzard.

I do agree that at least 20% of modern pop is bad, but what I REALLY hate are wrong generation douchebags. The 21st century is the best century in modern history and anyone who says otherwise needs a history class.

And like I said, certain religious nut jobs who think they are the chosen 00.1% because of their obscure “religion”. Again, I used to be like this.

FUCK cults and other similar groups.

I FUCKING HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE HAVE TO WHINGE ABOUT MODERN POP MUSIC AND SAY MUSIC WAS BETTER IN THE OLD DAYS WITH THAT DECLINIST ATTITUDE I GET IT YOU DON’T LIKE IT BUT STOP WITH THE LE WRONG GENERATION SHIT YOU KNOW IF YOU WERE BORN IN THAT TIME YOU’D HATE IT AND TODAY YOU CAN LISTEN TO ANYTHING SO SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO WHAT YOU LIKE HALFWIT

AND DONT DARE SAY YOU ARE BETTER THAN THE MAJORITY BECAUSE OF YOUR RELIGION LIKE SERIOUSLY YOU STUPID BASTARD

I used to be like this. Don’t be like past me.

Is it me or has 2020 just been the year that keeps on violently combusting? Seriously hoping 2021 is at least somewhat better.

It’s been like that for me and still going well into 2021.

On another note, Spuffre really needs some mental help. I know life sucks I don’t want anyone else living through that.

1. Yep. The Capitol riots. What a bunch of fucking babies.

2. I’ll get there someday.

Yeah, Duracell was the glue keeping Off-Topic together. With him gone, I doubt many people will want to post here. It’s a shame, but I understand why it happened.

I think the glue holding Off Topic together was Frink (just by the sheer volume and hilarity of his posts), but he joined the “abuse the guy who made this site possible” bandwagon, unfortunately. Duracell was the just the last of a handful of members who were major contributors to Off Topic, all of whom have now been banned or rarely post anymore.

The thing is, Off Topic had a certain flavour unique to the Internet, but when it became moderated and the rules changed, the kind of people it had attracted in the past and which had made it so much fun also became the kind of people who didn’t like or disregarded the new rules. And then the Politics thread became a catalyst for a personal conflict, which resulted in the Off Topic contributors being decimated, and which has never really ended (the only thing ending it is everyone on one side getting banned for keeping it up).

  ^^^

This. |||

Just like to say this before I go.

I kind of miss the good old days when I got roasted by Duracell, Frink and other members for my immature posts and weird ass threads. But when I came back 2 and 1/2 years ago and gained respect and matured, Off-Topic still was great, but when Frink and Possessed got banned, the charm slowly faded, and now with Duracell gone, Off-Topic finally went the way of Rome. And originaltrilogy.com became mainly a Star Wars forum again.

That’s it for me.

One half got banned, and the other half (me included) left.
