Unpopular Opinions and (Friendly) Rant thread

If I lose it all, slip and fall
I will never look away
If I lose it all, lose it all
Lose it all

If I lose it all outside the wall
Live to die another day
 
"Let me teach you something people often misunderstood, they say never be kind to the wrong person, you'll regret it. But regret only exist when your actions depend on outcomes. True strength lies in doing something not because it benifits you, but doing it because it aligns with your will. I am kind when i chose to be, not because you deserve it, not because i expect anything in return, but because it is my choise. Betray me, lie to me, take advantage of me, that is your nature, but my kindness, that is mine. I do not change who i am just because the world failed to meet my expectations. In a world of schemers and betrayers, to remain untouched, to remain kind not because of hope, but because of will, that is not weakness, that is control, that is strength." - 🙏

If I lose myself tonight
It'll be by your side
I lose myself tonight
Woah, yeah, yeah
If I lose myself tonight
It'll be you and I
Lose myself tonight

I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end, it doesn't even matter

And yet we live every day with the knowledge that we may keep seeing bad stuff in general and be unable to stop or fix all of them...
If only there were enough good stuff to counteract it welp.

Part of me is contemplating/still trying to properly decide) what to seek in life (also partly still curious of what happens after life and death/in the afterlife, and as to the realism/reality of the supernatural/paranormal/praeternatural in religion, mythology, folklore, etc... though unsure as to whether it's OK to pursue to find out).

There's so many near death experiences (or recounts/accounts/anecdotes of people before they die) talking about life flashing before eyes and/or encounters with either deceased past loved ones or other beings so it does raise questions as to how real that is.

I hope there is a heavenly/utopian afterlife for all living beings at the end of it all, at the very least, though then again for those that have committed atrocity crimes (or even for the wrongs/misdeeds of every living being) it'd probably be fairer to expect that there might be a hellish/dystopian process to exact justice prior to entering the afterlife.

Still also curious as to other meta insanity stuff like whether our Universe is the only one and/or whether it's actually infinite or if there's limitless realms/worlds/cosmologies, layers/levels of existence, dimensions, and verses (potentially even multiverses or omniverses consisting of groups of universes), potentially all controlled by infinite/limitless beings.
Welp.
 
VSBW has a somewhat understandable, but still odd, superiority complex about other powerscaling communities
especially considering that it's supposedly an indexing site first and foremost

It'd have been better if we had a joint discussion platform with other peeps from SpaceBattles, Reddit respect threads, Comicvine, CSAP, etc (other powerscaling communities) to avoid bias or monopolisation of sorts welp. (Not sure if it'd be possible to add Death Battle to it cause they may not base their videos on that.)

This isn't anything new. Powerscaling communities have been hating on eachother since time immemorial, when the hobby was known as battleboards and discussions were held in dedicated forums much like this one. VSBattles is hated for being the most popular and having inconsistent standards, Comicvine is hated because when presented with actual solid arguments they stonewall and plug their ears, Spacebattles is hated for being our elders, redditors are hated because they're scum of the earth and can barely be classified as sapient human beings on the same level as you and I. At the end of the day, it's just nerds nerding it out.

Idk about superiority complex, VSBW being a wiki makes it the easiest punching bag for other communities (for good reasons and bad). But the tribal faction wars between different websites are a thing of the past now.

oh no it is still here. Other wbesites still shit on us all the time.
 
Not as factions. Most websites have declined in activity and doesn't really carry a strong "identity" anymore. That includes VSBW.

I dunno about other sites, but VSBW actually straight up has more activity now than it ever has. It's been a slow but pretty consistent upward trend. I guess you might mean activity as like, posts and shit, rather than users online and looking at things, which is probably true-- as we get more shit accounted for (accurately or not), there's less posts to make.

As for identity, I reckon that we just have a lot of bleed-over from other sites. The wars are softened and quiet, and a lot of SpaceBattles people come to VSBW and a lot of VSBW people go to Tw*tter and so on and so forth, round and round until every community is pretty diluted. It's a silly squabble for identity and I think most of the people urging it on are just over it. VSBW remains highly hated but like. Half the people who hate it, use it still, lol.

95% of fandoms on the internet are abysmal. I do feel bad for her but imo Gooseworx really should've expected this from the start.
From what I've seen, people like Toby Fox and Scott Cawthon don't tend to interact with fans that much, so they're able to thrive and keep making new things without getting tired of their fanbases doing unnecessarily whiny or corny things.
 
Feel like we should have more comparisons between more genres of fiction, basically making broader matchups between any and every form/work of fiction
There's still a few possibilities for matchups not yet explored even with popular characters, we could use more ideas welp.
 
I just assume about 80% of the blue checkmarks I see on Twitter are soulless bots tbh. Especially since there's so many cases of them uniting to regurgitate popular tweets and the replies to said popular tweets, to the point where there are whole accounts dedicated to exposing people who recycle tweets.
 
Also I'm watching X-Men: The Animated Series and as of season 2 my favorites are Beast, Gambit and Rogue (in no specific order).
This is my first time ever seeing X-Men related content so I have no clue if this is a common opinion or not. Not that I care though.

BLUESKY

Bluesky is just overrun by extremely woke people, it's basically Tumblr in a way
And I'd personally prefer that to Twitter where a lot of the users are bigots or pedophiles or whatever else
And reddit is just a bunch of snarky neckbeards (ironic I say this as a powerscaler)
 
Bluesky has the one friend thats too woke, posting no bangers, no posts to chuckle at, and theres a genuine pedo issue there afaik

Twitter is a mess, its a crap ton of altright and unironic nazis (no not conservatives but I seen so many hitler praising posts and you can't be indian there at all unless you are ok with being hurled slurs at every picosecond)

Reddit is filled with smug neanderthals who think not answering your question makes them awesome or unique.

Sorta want to see a full list of thoughts on every social media platform welp (or every website in general)... or maybe we can just extend it to organisations, associations, etc like companies, corporates, conglomerates, etc (I honestly partially want to also comment on geopolitical stuff but I'm not sure if it's worth it here welp)

Alphabet (Google maker), Meta (Facebook, Instagram, etc maker), Snapchat, Fandom, Fextralife, other MediaWiki-using wikis, Valve, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, Sony, Nintendo, HP, Lenovo, Panasonic, Samsung, Oppo, Huawei, Xiaomei, etc etc etc.

Just yeet whatever thoughts you have about any Internet and market stuff in general perhaps?
