Unpopular Opinions and (Friendly) Rant thread

I think one of my biggest pet peeves is when someone tries to gatekeep the way you like something, like try to enforce certain rules for liking a series.
It's annoying as hell. I think as long as you're not a big weirdo and/or plain annoying (for example people who are heavily focused on shipping the characters of the verse), there's no right or wrong way to like something.
I'm mostly saying this because I'm extremely tired of dealing with contrarians who get pissy over the smallest things. I literally had a guy tell me the way my friend and I praised Cowboy Bebop was annoying even though he's also a fan of it and I was the one who even got him to watch it in the first place.

Saying that people can't gatekeep how others like a piece of media before IMMEDIATELY giving an example of a way you don't approve of liking a piece of media is insane. If you think people should be tolerant of your opinion, you should be tolerant of the opinions of others, even if you disagree with them or think they are "big weirdos."


Rare L from you my guy.
 
My little rant of the day is that I think the way Mario's currently handled on the wiki is completely awful and I can't blame any supporters that gave up on it after that kind of travesty. Imagine getting new feats only for any attempt to bring the verse outta this horse manure to be snuffed out by "nope, just gonna ignore that one too."

It's not gatekeeping for me to say that people should just have common sense
If you read it carefully you'll notice that I wasn't even against the concept of shipping, I'm just against the people who get real toxic about it and act like it's a super serious topic when it's just talking about which fictional characters you'd personally like to see date eachother.
It's like saying you enjoy powerscaling, but you don't like the people who say things such as "Goku stomps your fave" unironically.
It's perfectly fine to be mad at someone for being annoying and irrational. It's not fine to be mad at them for, say, making a lot of fanart or videos on something they like, or just generally praising that thing a lot.
And for the record, I am generally tolerant of other people's opinions. Even when I see people talking a big game about something I really hate (i.e Hazbin Hotel), I won't rush in and say it's shit and that they shouldn't like it. Different people have different tastes.

As someone who's unfamiliar, what's the issue?

To keep it simple, the scaling chain is pretty bad. Many characters got their scaling and tiering from OOC and invalid reasoning; characters such as Amber should've remained at tier 8 due to having a sudden huge tier jump from this CRT, that said they fought alongside post-Inazuma Traveller, though honestly looking back, other than 7-A being valid for Albedo, all of them should have their scaling treated as outliers. Even more funny is that the 7-A scaling comes entirely from this feat performed by Shenhe, who isn't even 7-A anymore. Not to mention the 4-A upgrade was also mishandled; many characters that shouldn't been 4-A were somewhat upgraded to 4-A because of the scaling chain, meaning we can't actually revert it.
 
My hot take is one I've said before - 1-A is ruining the wiki. Sнits getting upgraded left and right and if everyone's 1-A, no one is. Additionally it kills off any creativity in scaling. Before you had to put effort into figuring out the scaling, dimensionality but now it's "r>f gg", it's boring.
1-A now feels cheap. Before, seeing a character hit anywhere above low 1-C was a bigger deal and 1-A felt like a nigh-unreachable area and a character on that level had an aura. Now, gee mcgee from "randomverse: nobodyknows" gets 1-A for writing a book.

Then go complain to Ultima
 
Lowkey, how many characters even got 1-A? People bitch so much about the new 1-A ratings but all the characters that maintain those ratings seem reasonable enough to stay in that tier
 
I don't, because not all R>F is accepted. If a less real character interacts with a more real character for no reason, like cartoons, they're not accepted.
 
(I killed Xenoblade's R>F for this very reason)

Xenoblade might still have some tbh but it literally only scales to two characters that aren't involved in the main storylines so it doesn't actually mean anything lmao

Changes nothing for me. I find it not much different from how dimensional superiority works. We're using uncountable infinite differences for dimensions on the wiki but the difference is greater than that. The difference between 2D and 3D is the difference between 0 and 1 and I think it's arguably even better than r>f. If we go by our logic, fiction and thoughts are on our dimensional level since they're impulses in our brain.

R>F in which you can still interact with more real characters as a less real character is a single jump in dimensions, right? +1D to your scaling?

Well, the reasoning behind Ultima's Outerversal is that being existent but lesser is less impressive than straight-up being non-existent to something higher. In the case of dimensions, you still exist, in the case of R>F, you straight up don't exist to them.

Also, I wouldn't say R>F is the equivalent of thoughts. Thoughts are how we interpret everything around the world, but it's not the thing we interpret, it's what we perceive in our minds. Fiction is indeed less real to us, it can take the form of words, songs, video games, stories, books, pictures, etc, but when we refer to fiction in this case, we refer to the idea of something fictional, the concept of fiction, not how fiction is portrayed.

Generally when we say something is less real we don't mean that it's just electricity in our minds, or every portrayal of a fictional character, place or thing. Even back before Ultima's system, we didn't go saying "Erm, fiction is just thoughts in our mind!" because by your logic, being less real would just grant Below average human level tiers because you're a thought. Which is a slippery slope because then you can go argue that uhhh a fictional character is X crazy tier like uhhh building level or something because they have been portrayed as a statue IRL, or you can then go say every book is X tier due to size because every book portrays something fictional. Superman is cityblock level because all of his books are that size. I think it's an unreasonable assumption to make.
 
The rot consumes.

True, imagine using steamunlocked

I mostly use it to view which games have been cracked, I always use other sites to crack my games, tho. Like, I go to Reddit to find the sites that are safe to crack as agreed by the redditors.

Like, something about the UI makes it make me wanna use it every day just to see new games that are cracked on the market, it's how I find 99% of the anime games I download and never play again. I don't use it to download games, tho.

Last time, I tried to crack Udongein X, but I got a virus after I ran an app that wasn't called Udongein X nor had the Udongein X icon but came with the ZIP file I downloaded. That event hacked my Twitter account and started posting links to weird sites. Luckily, I managed to use windows defender to remove the virus. I eventually just bought Udongein X on Steam.

Now that I think about it, this sounds like a weirdly specific and weird explanation. I probably should have just said "Yeah, I download games from SteamUnlocked" rather than go on a rant. Erm, I download games from SteamUnlocked, chat.
