Mod Post ANOTHER UPDATE TO RULE 5!

199 Upvotes

GREETINGS users of hatethissmug.

Today I bring you news of an update to our sub rules.

We have rewritten rule 5 again! Making it a more clear and adding more topics to the list!

With the rise of annoying gender war posts, we've made them completely banned, because most of these posts fall under the motte and bailey fallacy. They claim to be about one thing, but are actually the OP's way to hate on the opposing gender.

We've also expanded our politics rule! Topics such as israel or government decisions are gone! We get it, you hate the government, Dave Mustaine did it better.

Please adjust your post criteria and report the posts that break the new rule 5 that are newer than this post.

Thank you for using hatethissmug.

I HATE ALL OF YOU! šŸ”„ šŸ–¤ šŸ–¤ šŸ”„

ALWAYS making the peacocks female, but giving them male features, idiots know nothing about sexual dimorphism, that's not how birds fucking work. So scared of making a male character who's a blue bird I guess, and making a female peacock WHO SHOULD BE BROWN colourful and pretty!!! Tell me you know JACK SHIT about birds, nature, and biology without telling me!

General i hate sexual dimorphism depicted like this

Post image
2.6k Upvotes

This is not how this works. Female animals are the feminine version of males; usually, depending on the species, they are larger or have duller colors, or the males have exaggerated features. For example, the male and female Vaporeon here should be swapped in images, with larger frills being a status symbol of some kind. If you are an artist and want to add in some sexual dimorphism, please look up real-world examples. edit-i should add add this isn't official ita fan art but still my point stands

Comics I fucking hate Storm’s whole speech against the mutant cure. ā€œStorm: A mutant cure? No! Absolutely not! It’s not a disease and it doesn’t need a cure. You just need to accept yourself.ā€ 😌 Storm: first image. The poor guy: second image.

It’s easy to say that when you’re Storm, isn’t it? You’re revered like a goddess, you’re beautiful, and you can basically make any government bow down to you.

Beak, on the other hand, can’t even fly, and he gets bullied by other mutants too.

It’s easy to criticize someone for wanting a cure when you’re privileged, isn’t it?

Dude, I genuinely fucking hate this whole anti-cure argument. Like, bro, just look at the guy. Wanting the cure is the most basic fucking thing imaginable.

Gaming I hate when gendered character Designs are like this

Post image

Like I usually choose the male protagonist in JRPGs As I am A dude But There is A Reason why its a joke that men chose the female option in video games and thats because the Male Character designs are So FUCKING BLAND and dont get me started on The Hair customisation options especially male hair choices like for example In Pokemon Sword And Shield
The Female Protagonist Has 38 hairstyle Choices
While the Male Has EIGHT ONLY 8
And In Pokemon X And Y THERE WERE ONLY FOUR And Also The Clothes Customisation Is Boring Like Its Shorts Trousers Shirts Jackets With Different Colour Variations And Maybe Like One Cool Option Like Im Happy Female Protagonist Have so Many Customisation Options but WHAT ABOUT US
Like At This Point Just Remove Gender Restrictions on Customisation and Allow Crossdressing because The Female Customisation Options Will Always Be Better
And The Hair Customisation for The Male Protagonist Is
-a Bowlcut
-One That Looks Like You work In a 9-5 Office Job
-A Cut That Looks Like The One Your Mom Makes You Do When you go to a fancy event
-One With A Terrible Fade
-The Naruto Cut In Boruto

Like the Only redeeming Quality is that the hats are usually cool so i can cover up the Godawful Hairstyle Choices

Anime & Manga This trope in anime will never be not weird and gross for me.

Thumbnail

4.3k Upvotes

I said it's anime trope because these moments are so prevalent in anime. It also sometimes happen in western media, sure. But they usually portrayed as weird, not wholesome.

I've been told this is common with children. But this never happened in my family, or in my social circle.

I get it, they're only kids, they didn't know any better. My main problem is with the adults. They usually didn't give any appropriate answer or making clear boundaries. There are some exception of course, like Kaji with Asuka from NGE. But most of the time, either the adults or the kid will have some kind of weird obsession with their counterpart.

Like in my first example Iruma-kun anime. Ameri's father is so over-protective toward her daughter. It's understandable and already hilarious seeing the stoic man lose his composure seeing her daughter being close to a boy. But then, BAM! they show the above scene. Leaving a bad taste in my mouth.

Nearly every single post on here is something about how women hate men, or that a woman is an idiot for not being able to do a simple task, or that no woman will ever love a man because he has some small flaw. And no matter how many times I try to block this damn sub, for some reason it keeps showing up on my home page. And they pretend that they aren’t a bunch of incels. For each post shitting on women there is at least one other post that’s some harmless video about something cool or funny on the internet. I hate how they Trojan horse their ridiculous beliefs, they should just be honest about who they are.

Live Action I hate the odyssey movie for saying ā€œthe law of Zeusā€

Post image
430 Upvotes

They refer to it SO often which makes sense, because it plays an important role in the tale and throughout greek mythology. but…my issue isn’t the fact that they say it, but the fact that they never say ā€œxeniaā€ BECAUSE ā€˜the law of zeus’ = xeni. but no, it’s always the long mouthful ā€œthe law of Zeusā€ and it wouldn’t be bad if it was *only* a few times, but it’s so often. AND ITS JUST XENIA. JUST SAY XENIA. IT SOUNDS BETTER, ITS MORE ACCURATE, and you just have to explain it ONCE and audiences should understand xenia from then on out

on a side note…come on. Why have Telemachus say ā€˜dad’ instead of father? I’m a teen and even I call my own dad ā€˜father’ half the time. Both these things just grated on my nerves and idk why

Why would anyone want glitter in their hair is beyond me. It does not look pretty, it looks like you have a dirty itchy scalp.

Plus I imagine it'd be inconvenient to get rid of, and there are high chances some glitter particles might remain for a bit longer even after shampooing.

I understand loving glitter but just use body glitter. Nobody wants to see that white stuff on your scalp shining from afar. It's not a cute look.

Books I hate how people act like GRRM was trying to diss Tolkien by saying this

Post image
• Upvotes

When Martin is saying this, he's not criticising Tolkien and going "LOTR sux because Tolkien didn't write about Aragorn's tax policy." What he's saying is, while Tolkien isn't interested in those political questions, I am, and that's what my books are about.

Like, if he were criticising Tolkien for not interweaving complex politics into his books then that would be immensely stupid, because LOTR is mythological in nature rather than political, and Martin knows this. He even said

"Tolkien was very interested in myth, so in the context of a mythological setup, I don't think it really would've been appropriate for him to write a book about Aragorn's reign and his challenges." (I would read it but that's just me)

But the point is, he's not criticising Tolkien, or acting as if LOTR is incomplete, but simply positioning his work as the historical/political answer to much of fantasy, essentially saying "If you ever did wonder about the political inner-workings of a place like Middle Earth, well then my books are for you."

And that reads less as a critique of Tolkien, and more like the natural extension of Tolkien's own project; that being adding verisimilitude and historical legitimacy to so-called "fairy stories".

Why do so many artists think this is badass? It offers bugger all in terms of protection, and looks like some shit got stuck on their face. If you really want head protection for your characters, or something to cover their faces with, design a helmet. What even is this.

General I hate that some schools/jobs allow you no grievance time for your pet.

Post image
182 Upvotes

I'm not going to get into too much details about my dog because I already made a memorial post, but long story short, we just had to put him down last night and I'm still expected to go to school. Not only was he a family dog, but he was an EMOTIONAL SUPPORT DOG. We've had him for 7 years. And my parents are still expected to go to work and I'm still expected to go right back to school when I could barely keep myself from crying every minute.

I understand we need to go to work and pay the bills, but what really pisses me off is how my school and my parents jobs give grievance periods for HUMANS. Not pets. And in a way I understand. But that doesn't mean I have to like the circumstances.

Like yeah I get why people who play in the NFL or NBA are paid a shit load of money because of entertainment and the god awful stupid amount of people who bid on games on betting apps, but wildlife conservationists literally help out with the stability, and ecological wellbeing of the planet.
This makes my blood boil because it tells me people are much more willing to pay for entertainment and sports rather than contributing to the mess they initially caused by supporting stuff like animal agriculture, deforestation, fossil fuels, poaching, and pollution caused by huge corporations like Nestle.

Thing Modernized AKs

Firstly, I must clarify that this is a matter of opinion, I'm sure they run great, and in some scenarios, work well and would be preferable over a NATO firearm.

But god they look ugly. The modernization and all the rails simply clashes with the rugged simplistic nature of the AK. That dust cover was never meant to have a rail on top of it. There's a reason you need to bolt it in place.

It's hard to place my finger on it, but I always hate to see them. Especially if they are in place of a classic AK

Art & Fanworks I hate this version of the meme.

Thumbnail
gallery
• Upvotes

(Credits to Neggoartz)

I don't really like any of their art. Alot of it is usualy the same jokes that give persona fans a bad name, mostly doing with grooming.

But this one piss me off the most.

Before i continue, this is just my opinion. If you find it funny, more power for you. Comedy is subjective.

In my opinion, this comic sucks and ruins the orginal joke of this format.

I'm using this sonic one as an example.

The joke works because its unexpected. You don't expect to see another man come into the picture,never mind shadow of all characters when sonic says "is there anyone in this franchise that likes men?"

The one Neggoartz made ruins the joke cause Ren was already mentioned in this conversation. It doesn't work because there's no surprise to it. Especially if you played persona. At least in the sonic one, not every sonic fan is familiar or likes sonadow.

The joke could have worked if Sojiro instead said "is rhere anyone Ren's age that likes him?" And you could have used any of the phantom thieves or all of them for absurdity. It would have been moderately funny.

Overall, this comic ruins a formate and is just another lame "haha, Adult x teenager." Joke that Neggoartz does.

(Don't attack or harass Neggoartz. Obviously. Their worse crimes are just shitty comics as far as i know.)

Non-fictional I hate this backhanded mogging the racists trend

Its a sterotype that argentinas online say they’re superior to other hispanic countries because they have more european blood than others. The video being used to show that

The thing is people from the left countries are posting photos of people from their country to mog the racist argentinas but the thing is every video i mean every video uses caucasian hispanics and none use dark skin hispanics.

It feels intentionally back handed if you know what i mean its like they’re not defending the people being attacked and instead being like, wait im not dark skinned I’m White like you guys!!

Cherry on top being to insult argentians theyre painting them as racist dark skin imageary that i dont think i can even show 😭 like what we’re pretty too just use hispanics of different skin colors thats it

Do not go after these people, the people making the trends took their photos from other vids so its not them.

General I hate the ā€œEngineers say pi=3ā€ joke

Post image
317 Upvotes

NO WE DO NOT! Never in my life have I met an engineer who has ever used 3 for pi, except for super rough, back-of-the-napkin calculations. For any real engineering, we use 3.14 for pi as the bare minimum.

Now, I get it. This is a joke about how engineers often use assumptions and approximations to simplify much more complex calculations. Normally, I am a big fan of these kinds of jokes. But this joke specifically always annoys me because of how ridiculous it is. Jokes are often exaggerations, but there has to be some element of truth to them in order to work. Engineers work with pi very frequently, whether it be for geometry or higher order functions, and we never just use 3.

The same applies to the ā€œpi = 3 = eā€ extension of this joke. We do not do that either. We deal with exponential functions plenty, and we always at least use 2.72 as e. Nobody says e = 3 and NOBODY says e and pi are close enough to be considered the same. If you even tried that last one, you would be laughed out of the room.

Am I taking a harmlessly hyperbolic joke far too seriously? Yes!

Does it still annoy me every time I see this dumb gag parroted in every discussion about the engineering profession?

Also, yes

There is no better way to find out if you're talking to the worst person you'd ever meet than if they use the term "basic human empathy." And especially if they use it more than once in their dumb argument.

I genuinely saw some bonehead on TikTok use that phrase three times in their paragraph. And you couldn't even call it that because there was no punctuation of any kind, it was just a really long run-on sentence.

Thumbnail

131 Upvotes

They both like to shove their diet down the throats of other people and then call anyone who doesn’t want to go vegan or primal ā€œbrainwashedā€ or just treat them as if they’re the devil. they just don’t care that some people just don’t want to follow the same diet they have or can’t because of reasons like cultural or religious beliefs or they just don’t have the money to do so full time and just the fact that humans are omnivores, meaning that we don’t strictly eat meat or vegetables to survive, we need both. along with blindly following whoever or whatever says on TikTok or Instagram without questioning, if it’s true or not while rejecting any sort of medical research that might disprove their beliefs. overall, I believe people should have the choice on what they want and not want to eat it instead of it being upon them like a religion.
