I honestly feel like defreinding (well not really but its getting annoying hearing people moaning about it) the next person on my facebook who posts something about so called tattoo discrimination. I'll add this. I have Suicide Girls on my facebook page, and they like to advertise being the site for chicks who aren't conventionally attractice, but really, aside from having more tattoos and piercings than average, the girls at that site are pretty conventionally attractive anyway. not saying I don't like the site, because I do, I just think the "girls with tattoos/piercings aren't looked at as being conventionally attractive" thing is a larf. It's true, though. I know people personally that make up their minds about people just because they don't like that they're inked (not even where, just that they are) or their piercings. I get double-taking at a dude with "SS" tattooed on their face and most of their face covered in piercings. That, I understand. But to say someone's ruined their body for ink that isn't even visible unless their wearing a bikini or because they dared pierce anything other than their ears is pretty unfair, if you ask me. I actually want to get tattoos, but I know if I do, even if it isn't my hands, face, or anything still visible in a suit and tie, the list of places that'd hire me would be reduced greatly, regardless of how good my resume or education looks.

Not sure everyone's feelings on it, but after just reading the Zack Ryder thread, I must say "selfie" is a terrible word and should be banished from the English language forever. Absolutely terrible.

There are a couple posters here who are viewed as "well-known/popular" and I find them to be among the most annoying I've ever come across on the Internet.
I don't view Blurred Lines as purposefully misogynistic or damaging to women or rapey. It's about a woman who is a "good girl" but can also get a little crazy. Those type of women exist. Think Shakira's "She Wolf" but the guy is aware that she has a wild side. I don't know, I've heard plenty of lines that describe misogyny, or makes me wonder why a woman would sing this along with the artist. I just don't see it with this song.

Smart phones are f***ing annoying and it's insane that people have to be able to watch movies or go on the internet no matter where they are. Not to mention commercials encouraging you to just throw them away and buy a new one, "f*** it, just waste that material, who cares? UPGRAYDD" And the commercials are unbearably douchey, it's like they're encouraging people "go ahead. be a smug prick. you know you want to."

Walk Hard is one of the greatest comedies EVER made. I love Step Brothers & Taladega Nights, but this is John C. Reilly's best movie by far. I don't think it gets nearly the love it should. It rarely shows up on lists of top recent comedies, or even on lists of movies featuring that whole comedy crew.
Grandma's Boy is another movie that doesn't get enough love. "I'll never have metal legs" LMAO!

"Robotnik" is the only localization from the Sonic series I prefer to the Japanese continuity. The Mobius stuff, I don't care much for (anthropomorphic animals living alongside humans on Earth seems to work fine in other fictional works, so I found Mobius to be an unnecessary change).
Also, Roger Craig Smith, Jason Griffith and Ryan Drummond are better as Sonic than Jaleel White (granted, Griffith and Drummond had to grow into it at first).

- As white guy who is has a missus who is Korean I f***ing loath term the yellow fever and the next person who says I have it will be getting a punch to the face. But at the same time I can't help but shake my head at how a good chunk of guys that I've met over the years with massive Asian tend to be creepy and somewhat racist(unintentionally)and act outraged when Some Asian chick tells them that their views about Asian chicks aren't very flattering at all.
- All this whole social justice nonsense on tumblr is a prefect example of what happens when a group of people lose all track of reality by spending too much time on the internet and not interacting with people in real life. That and those guys are like a real life version of Judean People's Front and they seem to spend more time getting into arguments with each other than actually doing well anything else.
- Also the vast majority of time naming and shaming on the internet is really just an excuse for people to engage in cyber bullying.

It annoys me when there are news reports that criticise people filming an incident on their phone, it's always assumed that's it purely due to people's ghoulish nature rather than the possibility they may be recording it so they can provide evidence.
As a victim or perpetrator I'd appreciate an independent source of evidence, for example if I was a victim of a random attack it could help catch the attacker, prove it was unprovoked and be used in court. If I was the defendant it means I'm not at the mercy of an unreliable witnesses or corrupt policeman.

People who think they're somehow edgy by bashing "political correctness" or "social justice" aren't as interesting as they think they are. Saying that you're happy with the way society operates regardless of systemic inequality is not a rebellious stance. It normally just comes across as "Well, I'M doing fine, why are you complaining?"

people who say "I'd like the music if not for the vocals" about Death metal are full of shit. the music is intended to be brutal and aggressive and it would sound stupid as hell with someone singing tenor or falsetto over it. the vocals are meant to convey a particular emotion or mood and IMO convey anger or despair a hell of a lot better than crooning would. just another example of trying to look "tolerant" without actually thinking out what you're saying.

I'm more annoyed about the people who for some reason think "Hammer Smashed Face" would be better if James Hetfield sang it.

Saying that you're happy with the way society operates regardless of systemic inequality is not a rebellious stance. It normally just comes across as "Well, I'M doing fine, why are you complaining?" I feel like I get labelled as this sometimes and I want to share my unpopular stance now. (not that you were singling me out, it just works for my point) I don't try to defends bigots and racists...because I think they're wrong. But I feel like the groups trying to make the world a better place are becoming bullies like the people they are against. "You're not actively supporting gay rights? What are you a monster douchebag? Get out their and help!" That might be a bad example but my point is that even though someone is trying to help a good cause, it shouldn't give them license to be pushy and terrible. Like when Jay Brisco said his stupid thing about gay people...is he wrong? I think so. He doesn't think so. Who are we to decide he should be fired and destroyed because he doesn't like gay people. He's allowed to have his opinion as much as I am. It's a pointless cause, because defending ignorance isn't really fruitful, I'm just saying push for good things in a good way. I don't think I made my point well but it's been an increasing thing that bothers me.
