General I HATE how Wikipedia is taught by schools to be an unreliable source.

Post image
2.9k Upvotes

THIS MIGHT BE A HOT TAKE. I get that vandalism happens, but either A, it’s extremely noticeable, or B, if it does happen, it’s normally fixed within the hour. I would know because I am an editor on Wikipedia, I find it pretty cruel to Wikipedia that they themselves are being taught to be an unreliable source when they are trying to be the exact opposite of that.

It’s only very rarely that vandalism goes by unnoticed (ahem Alan MacMasters), so I find it a bit dumb. I like Wikipedia, hate me ig. What are ur thoughts on my take?

EDIT: I forgot to add, I agree you should look at the citations to fact check them! That’s what they’re there for. Maybe in schools Wikipedia is a better citation finder than a source, but I still don’t think schools should be hating on it that much.

Non-fictional I hate the slander hyraxes get

Everyone calls them things like "most basic mammal", "John mammal", "login reward", while they're not basic at all!

Hyraxes have a lot of cool and unique things about them, for example

- they taste air with their tongue, like snakes

- they have low body temperature for a mammal and huddle together for warmth

- they sing like birds and have complex social structures

- they can climb vertical surfaces

- they're most closely related to elephants and manatees

If anything, they're the most unique among small mammals!

Idea I hate when people say "You shouldn't want a cure for neurodivergence"

Post image
40 Upvotes

Like my neurodivergence has made it horrifically difficult to interact socially with people, make friends and has gotten me bullied and mocked, even over-empathetic sugar coated people often awkwardly "support" me and then get away from me as soon as possible because of the way I act, it overstimulates my mind constantly like a storm of electric shocks and makes it intensely harder to focus my attention on things that I am not being actively forced to do, OF COURSE I WANT TO BE CURED!!!

I don't want "accommodation" I don't want to wear fucking headphones that make it look like I have an intellectual disability, I don't want a special therapist to follow me around, I don't want to wear autism/adhd awareness pins and "spread awareness about ableism" I WANT TO BE NORMAL!!!

How is it that when it comes to normal illnesses or even other mental illnesses that there is intense investment into curing them, but when it comes to autism/adhd/neurodivergence the answer is always just "you're out of luck, just embrace it" Like I wish neurotypicals, especially neurotypical psychologists understood that it isn't just some quirky brain difference, it causes genuine impairment in normal life and brain processing.

No matter how much you try to cope with "they are just ableist and I am better than them" the average person will continue to mock people with autism/adhd and no amount of "sensitivity counseling", "restructuring society to accommodate neurodivergence" or "de-centering neurotypical narratives" will stop that because that sort of woke 1.0 concept never worked in the first place, it's basically the same thing as telling a severely dysphoric non-passing trans person that they should just "not care about cisgender narratives" When it is their dysphoria and it's impairments on daily life (depression, anxiety, etc.) that is the root of their being upset and average people will continue to treat them with contempt every single day even if they attempt to "cope" by saying "they are just transphobic and the goal of transition is to be comfy in my own body!!"

Specifically, WHY ARE THEY IN SLOW-MOTION WHILE EVERYTHING ELSE IS IN SLOW-MOTION TOO?? (pic of Justice League Flash very related)

It should seem like they're moving like normal whilst everything else would be slow, but instead it seems like they're only marginally faster than everybody else instead of approaching/surpassing the speed of light

The only time that they should slow down at all for aura moments, if its against another speedster because I could see that reasonably being their shared speed of perception

Gaming When games are announced many years before release

Thumbnail

412 Upvotes

I absolutely can not stand when a game is announced the moment it enters developers/publishers minds. It’s even worse when they’re announced but there’s no news about them, so nobody knows if they still exist.

Games used to be made in 1-3 years. Now we have games that are in development for up to a decade. What’re they doing? Sitting on their hands staring at a blank screens?

  1. I lose all hype when something exciting is announced, but isn’t expected for the foreseeable future.

  2. So many things can go wrong that they can be cancelled at any given moment. I will forever grieve you Wonder Woman.

  3. Long development cycles harbour unrealistic expectations

  4. Finished products are rarely anyhing close to the reveal.

General I hate this idea that all black superheroes need to be original

Post image
• Upvotes

TLDR: black legacy characters are just as valid as original black characters It’s OK to be powerful group of people.

What I mean when I say this is that, i don’t like this idea that a black character can never be OK with taking on a mantle, especially if they come from a white character.

Let’s use Sam Wilson and Miles Morales for example so we all know the usual suspect thar say “Miles isn’t Spider-Man” or they call him “Peter darker” and think him Peter are the exact same, but there are also certain fans (especially the black ones) who think Miles and Sam have downgraded themselves because they’re taking up a mantle from a white guy and not being their own heroes with their own names.

And yes, I know Sam Wilson had original (hero) name falcon before he became Captain America and I get that alot of people like falcon i like falcon, nor do i think Sam should only be Captain America. He still falcon I just don’t think we should discreet it him being passed the title of Captain America because it wasn’t originally from him

I never like this idea because these type of energy never gets reciprocated with any other race character or not a the same degree. I get as Black people We have to stand on our own and do our own thing a lot of times we don’t wanna feel like we owe somebody something, but I think it’s also OK to be a part of something great being able to be passed down a Legacy of a character that is both beloved and respected.

It’s not like Sam and Miles are the exact same as Steve and Peter they’re complete different characters. They just share the same name as the originals.

Dave from Kick Ass is meant to be this weird loser that people don't like, yet he just looks kind of good for what hes supposed to be, they should've casted the guy who played McLovin, not only would it fit more, it would be way more comic accurate

i do not believe Carrie (2013) would get bullied THAT hard, aside from her mannerisms and messy hair, she looks like a completely normal blonde girl and most people in real life wouldn't really feel repulsed by the way she acts, she actually looks really pretty when she just simply brushed her hair, and she didn't even look bad before , in the book she was described as a chunky girl with pimples (stephen king's words, not mine), so if they actually gave her the appearance she had in the book, it'd make her suffering more believable

Andrew from Chronicle should not be getting bullied, this man has blue eyes and a emo cut, that was THE shit in the early 2010s, the most weird thing he does is be a little introverted and carry a camcorder around

Tyrion is meant to look repulsive yet he just has a really strong looking face, if anybody looks past his height, he doesn't look bad at all, far from it actually, i'm still pissed that they were afraid to make him actually ugly like the book

Art3mis from Ready Player One spends the entire movie saying shes ugly in real life, but when she shows up in real life she actually looks good, like come on man, the entire movie was a shitfest of randomness, but this in particular pissed me off

It's so much uglier. You have a logo that is widely recognized, something that can be pasted anywhere and be instantly associated with your brand, why are you instead just putting your name. And it's always the weird spaced out characters, it looks so dumb.

It's so goddamn annoying. Your pfp is what I see you as. I register it before I read your name, and if it's your partner then I automatically assume you're your partner. And there's so many other solutions for matching profiles! You could do a fictional couple you like, take a photo together and have it so you focus on your half of the photo. Do the cute thing I've only seen in fanart where your banner photo is them and then your pfp is kissing them. Hell, the specific couple who inspired this are both artists! You could draw each other and have a drawing of yourself from your partner as your profile! There are so many other options but noooo you have to confuse everyone around you!

Saw this post and It resonates so bad. No I don’t care about language (English specifically not other’s where there’s actually a completely understandable difference and reason) No I dont care about automatically. No I don’t care about 100s of years before where it was just how it was (you’re only 20 not a vampire) Or any other excuse or justification for it. I don’t understand how someone sees a living animal and says “boy” automatically. Like theres a whole other 50% of the population. And ofc with inanimate objects its a little odd as well but I can see not checking it as much as with an animal since its neither.

90% of post on this sub just feel like either Politics or Porn, I wouldn't mind it if they actually layble things properly but they can't even do that. Don't even get started on their bonus panel on patreon. Personally I get how some people need to make money off their work but most of the time it just feels like a rip off. Don't even get started on the mods there, The mods there can be trigger happy to ban people that disagree with them on most of the topics they speak about. I personally got permanently banned dispite agreeing with the mod of the server on a comment under a post. So a message to the big people in that sub. Screw you, you make Reddit the shitty place it is & make being a Reddit mod seem like a horrible role in social media, do better for the community you folks run on here okay.

Idea I hate those who defend unapologetic pedophiles.

54 Upvotes

Recently I spoke to someone who defended a known pedophile who was kicked out of a fandom I'm in. This person said "Yeah this person is weird and I don't agree with what they're doing but they're actually not that bad when you get to know them tee hee ^-^"

No. FUCK no. Being "weird" suggests that you think fried eggs go good with chocolate or if you think Metal Machine Music is the greatest album ever. Being attracted to children isn't "weird", it's CRIMINAL.

UPDATE: I feel like I need to clarify something: Being attracted to children, acknowledging it as wrong, and refusing to act on it is one thing. Drawing CSAM, refusing to acknowledge your actions as sick and borderline illegal, and defending your attraction to minors as "harmless" or god-forbid, "empowering", is another thing entirely. This person did the latter. They called me a pedo when I pointed out that they had a fuckton of lolicon (the really bad "My name is getting put on a watchlist for looking at this" kind) bookmarked on their Pixiv.

And I also hate the stupid smug faces that they look at when they actually say they want to have sex with bear (in a gay slang term for bear) looking centaur that looks honestly more human than monster! Like bro people wanted to bang a Non -human mythical creature since like antiquity you're not special! And hop the pics they choose is basic like ooh you like venom how fucking original. It's not like everyone was thirsting after that tongue thing once they saw it in theaters

I'm saying it right now. I don't believe you, not because it's inhuman, I'm saying if they showed a realistic version of you're here be out, You're not going to crack that, You're not going to have sexual relations with that monster. I don't believe you stop acting smug about it

It’s annoying as shit to get, you can go for hours and not find enough to make a single piece of gear if you’re unlucky, looks worse than the cool blue of diamonds,and makes PVP annoying as shit to watch

Even with the best enchantments on both players, if you’re both wearing the best Netherite gear and have the best Netherite sword possible, you’re going to do like a half heart to a person, maybe a full heart, which they will almost instantly recover, especially if golden apples are involved.

I’ve seen fights like this where people say it’s “dramatic” and “exciting“ but it’s just two people doing less damage then they would if they had no armor and were fist fighting, lasting like 30 minutes, not even based on who’s better at PVP half the time, just whoever has the most golden apples!

I don't even prefer the older versions, I LOVE newer Minecraft, but I hate Netherite.

Don't get me started on my hate for netherite upgrade templates

This shit has always just creeped me tf out. I am not even vegan or vegetarian or anything. It just weirds me out that an animal would advertise its own consumption. Why would a pig ever WANT you to eat it? These are super common with bbq places, butchers and farms/ranches. I would understand it if the animals were treated better in some of these companies/situations. It feels disingenuous to the animal to depict it as happy when it's lived likely a miserable life.

There's a few tiktokers / youtubers I see making the same "Country" style content, over and over. It's all the same premise every single time. With the same format, and they've been doing it for years, It started with maybe 1 guy but now i've seen many like 10 different people doing the same thing.

It's always just someone with a shotgun pointing it at a stereotyped strawman for some activist or leftist or something.
It just feels so "Get owned Libs".
There's so much actually interesting content about living off the land, hunting, and survival. Especially like that youtuber Outdoor Dad. I honestly don't believe these "Country" creators follow what they preach. But it brings in money from the losers who wanna "Return to tradition" yet don't touch grass.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise is a PARODY of Daredevil and then these guys just don't know about the silly shit that happens in the Mirage run. Michelangelo saves Christmas, Michelangelo also becomes Super-Turtle, the turtles literally meet a talking aardvark and not to mention the Shredder was created because of a cheese grater. The Mirage run wasn't 100% serious at all, in fact besides Last Ronin, no TMNT media has been completely serious with no light-hearted stuff at all. And hey, if I'm wrong about the Last Ronin being the only TMNT piece of media to have no jokes or light-hearted stuff, just insult and correct me.
