And what a soldier likes in his free time is not the military or the government's business unless it's illegal. If a soldier's only "Fault" is his sexual preference, that has nothing to do with what they can do on the battlefield. Same for sports, same for any profession. But with sports, you have to analyze that stuff because it affects team chemistry. If a guy frequently speaks his mind on Twitter, you have to be sure his loud mouth won't cause problems. If a guy is politically outspoken, you have to be sure he won't cause a rift in the team. If a guy likes dudes ala Michael Sam, you have to be sure the media circus will be under control and nobody will say something that causes a shitstorm. You can't just throw a bunch of random guys into a locker room and assume everything will be hunky dory. Off field stuff matters. To a point, yes it does. But in business, none of these things come into question at your interview. At the end of the day, that "room full of random guys" has to learn how to work with each other DESPITE this. That's why they're called a "Team" and not a "Room full of random guys".

I often wonder, athletes and wrestlers are known for their egos in many cases, and many times, for immaturity or intolerance(not necessarily bigotry, more directed towards those breaking away from traditions or hierarchy.).
Is this an attitude that often springs up due to the fact that athletes are treated with reverence and have praise heaped on them? Or is it that the kind of people who excel in these environments often ones with a chip on their shoulder?
Of course, there are exceptions that prove the rule, and beyond that, you can be a proud person without being an outright dick.
(By the way, just because I see this bring up a lot of confusion, prove/proof/proves in this context means "test". Something that is fireproof can withstand the test of flame, or else, we'd be calling kindling fireproof. "Yep, fire's real, get a load of this!" Many of you probably already know this, but given how often I see "all intensive purposes" and other common mistakes, it can't hurt to get this information out there.)

The Sega Saturn was an underrated video game system I don't think that's an unpopular opinion. Here's a good one that'll definitely rustle fanboy's jimmies: SNK screwed SNK, Sega screwed Sega, and Soul Calibur IV is the worst entry in the Soul series; it's so damn slow compared to its predecessors. The Tower of Souls has nothing on Edge Master (Soul Edge/Blade), Mission Battle (Soul Calibur), Weapon Master (Soul Calibur II), or even Chronicles of the Sword (Soul Calibur III). Plus, there isn't much when it comes to Single Player content, which its predecessors did much better in that regard. Who actually gave a damn about Critical Finishes in Soul Calibur IV?

I think a lot of people dislike Soul Calibur IV. The Create A Soul wasn't as good as III's and obviously inferior to V's, and the Star Wars characters were lamer than even Necrid from II. Worse, Yoda was downright broken due to his size.

I have no idea why the f*** MOBAs are a thing. I can at least get why FPSes and "Free-to-Play" get so many clones, MOBAs? Oh well, League & DOTA got really popular so EVERY company gotta come out with a MOBA, Insomniac, Epic Games, Warner Bros Interactive, Crytek, etc.
Hey video game companies, people play Street Fighter and MvC at tournaments too, where are my clones of those?

And as for unpopular opinions...
I get that everybody's doing what they want and all, but I cringe when I see a grown dude (or girl) who's REALLY into My Little Pony.
Music's gotten better over the last few years, but change is scary so people don't want to admit it.

Worse, Yoda was downright broken due to his size. What is the general opinion of the Soul series anyway? I played all of them except V. V is well liked, III had some good ideas but flaws like the memory bug and some AI issues hold it back, I think, II is a big favorite for many, and I don't know how they feel about 1. I am not a dedicated fan, or anything, so this is mostly anecdotal. I did personally like 5 a lot when I played with a friend.

Even the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles had a Street Fighter clone on the SNES. And the Genesis And even the NES I mentioned the SNES version specifically because of how much it plays and feels like Street Fighter II. The other ones are different beasts. In fact, I thought Capcom made it when I first played it.

This might be a controversial one but I'll say it anyway
Charity
Now let me start by saying that I think for most part Charity is great and I am more than happy to donate any spare Money I have to a good cause, In fact I recently did the Ice Bucket Challenge and donated to that.
But here is my problem, I don't like how forced into your face it seems now a days and I certainly Don't appreciate being tried to make feel guilty about it just because I don't have spare money to donate.
When All is said and done I need Money for myself as well.
I'll donate when I can but don't push it down my throat and don't make me feel like an arsehole when I am unable to.

Speaking of the nineties, I like the media from that era but I don't get why people swoon over it, especially since most of these "90's kids" were born in like 1996.

All f***ing names are made up. I don't know why people can't wrap their minds around this concept. Just because your name is connected to an ancient scroll or a toothless family member that saved your nanner nan from a well doesn't mean your name is "real". It just means your name is old. Plus, many of the names that are deemed fake come from different cultures. Speaking of kids' names: There is a special place in hell for parents that give their kids nicknames before the mother reaches her second trimester. First of all, the best nicknames are earned. I'm not going to call your kid Cobster because you think it's cool. I'm going to call your kid Cobster because his dumb ass did something gross with corn on the cob. Then there are the mom's that give their kids predetermined nicknames because the are bond and determine to give their kid a name everyone else has. If you find out that there are five other Sophies in your hood, buy a baby book and pick a new name. Most names have actual (often ancient) linguistic meanings. Like mine is a derivative of John, whickh means in its original Hebrew spelling "God is Gracious". And boy is he. He gave this forum me. That said, I'm talking about the idiotic names people come up with in a vain attempt to somehow have the best and most original name ever that'll surely put their special snowflake high above all others. It just reeks of arrogance. And I know because I can smell my own kind. Once again Mr. C I am going to say that at the end of the day, it will have no effect on your life what someone names their child and that you should not care what someone else does in their life

PSP > DS
I agree with whoever said that Jack and Jill wasn't that bad. And I hate Adam Sandler.
I hate puzzle games and games that aren't puzzle games that have puzzles. Puzzles!
I hate most indie games. The only ones I liked were The Walking Dead and one I can't remember the name of, but all the chars felt the need to rhyme everything (which got old, fast), and that one was only ok.
Shrek is the unfunniest comedy I've ever seen.
I don't like any of the Star Wars films.
FFX-2 is still underrated (I always have to get that one in there when these 'unpopular opinion' threads pop up xD).

FFX-2 is still underrated (I always have to get that one in there when these 'unpopular opinion' threads pop up xD). Agreed. It's very dumb, story wise, and rather blatantly reuses assets from FFX to save money, but that's forgivable given it's the same world and all, and I had fun with it. The battle system was a lot of fun, and had it not been so sexualized(Scan levels 2 and 3 exist for one and only one reason), I think it would have not been written off by as many people as it was. The awkward naming convention didn't help matters much.
