Unpopular Opinions and (Friendly) Rant thread

I thought it was kinda weird how they decided to make them look kinda like racial caricatures, but that might have been a coincidence, I can kinda see a Japanese cockroach looking like that in humanoid form.

That said, the "genetically perfect" Aryan dude from Germany born out of eugenics was a little on the nose, not a big fan of him.

it was mad weird how they named him Adolf and his wife's name was Eva
that was definitely not a coincidence
Adolf was a different guy(And frankly, way cooler, but I'm not gonna say Adolf is a great dude due to the name), and Eva was his student, not his wife(His actual wife, Rosa, cheated on him, and he couldn't divorce her because his marriage was the only thing left making him feel human). The funny thing is, certain names can be disallowed in some countries if they think the child's life will be negatively impacted, and Germany's one of those countries iirc, but there's still a few Adolfs per year.

Also, apparently Joseph was not German, just from an unknown E.U country.
 
i find it slightly funny the fact that fiction made people think that swords were the main weapons of knights,samurais,etc,despite the fact that bows and spears were their primary weapon most of the time.
hell,apparently if you were a samurai and couldn't use a bow,you would be considered a shame.

Honestly, yeah, people have always had a massive bias for swords and not only modern fiction, I mean compare how many mythological heroes have legendary swords compared to other weapons. Nowadays happens to an extent with handguns as well.
 
Watched the first 3 episodes of Arcane S2 that got released. Gotta say, t'was hype, the animation was good and the plot was good. They didn't drop the ball.
There are some peeves I have with it
Issue one is that some minor parts of the story as well as some fights are structured like you'd do for an AMV or a music video. I find this weird. I like my plot-heavy cartoons without MV exposition.
Second issue is that Vi is lesbian, specifically her. Let's see...buff, short, pink hair, is a tough character...like brother you are shoving every single stereotype of a lesbian character into a single pot. She is basically OW's Zarya but with gauntlets. Maybe she is canonically lesbian in LOL, idk, never played it and never will, but I still find it weird that they fall into these cliches like a cartoon character into a pitfall. If just Caitlyn was lesbian or Jinx or whomever I wouldn't bat an eye but they took the character that fits the cliche to a tee and it just feels...weak.

I'm a guy who used to (read: used to) play LoL during its early days, and was playing the game when Vi was first added to the game. I guess her and Caitlyn being gay for eachother was canon, but I couldn't really tell since I didn't care about the lore, and this is the early LoL community we're talking about, so the same people who were talking about Vi x Caitlyn were the same people who probably still made the same "Ezreal is gay because he's a blonde twink and he's dating Taric because he's a buff pretty man that's obsessed with gems so he's also gay and probably likes twinks" so I couldn't tell if it was canon or people just thinking it would be funny to ship a butch-looking criminal with a cop.

Not sure if this is a hot take but Yoshi's Island, DKC and DKC2 are probably the holy trinity of platformers
Just downright ******* astounding games
