Meta I hate how quick people are to dehumanize

Post image
7.1k Upvotes

I’m a left leaning socially progressive guy, I hate all forms of racism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, and pedophilia along with all the other bad stuff.

What I also hate (granted I hate it less than all the things mentioned above but still) is how people say “pedophiles don’t deserve human rights” or “Trump isn’t even a person to me” or things like this.

Every Nazi was a human being, every pedophile is a human being, every bad thing ever done by a person was done by a person. Human rights are unalienable, you cannot lose them no matter what you do, you can’t undo someone’s human rights no matter how deplorable they are.

To act like bad people not only puts more people in danger but also makes people more like to turn to fascist tendencies. The idea that people can be bad enough to warrant their rights being revoked is deeply rooted in bigotry. I hate hate hate when people do this.

Please view everyone as human, you don’t have to like them or respect them but view them as a human.

Edit: Some people seem to believe I’m saying to forgive bad people/ defend them. I am not, I am not saying pedophiles or racists are good or deserve mercy. I’m simply saying they are people, being a person does not make you deserve forgiveness but it makes you entitled to certain rights and privileges. That’s the point of unalienable rights, you cannot lose them.

Posers. Posers everywhere.

They show up to your community & fucking ruin it.

And when you call them posers, tourists or fake fans, people always say "wHy aRe wE gAtEKeEpInG x ?"

Real fans dont need to worry about gatekeeping. If ur constantly being gatekept then stop being a fucking poser.

Im an original 2000s goth & to see the state of whats happened to our culture is cringe. And we arent allowed to call these fake people who are basically a parody of goth out? Fuck off

I don't know why it's not like this on any other social media platform, but tiktok comments seem to have an incomprehensible tendency to reinforce the most insane people on the planet. You could tell a tiktok comment section you shot fire from your fingertips at 6 and you'll get 3 comments going "Me too!!! I could also control ice and shoot lightning from my taint!"

Meta I hate when things are needlessly explained by creators in order to cope with criticism

Post image

I don’t read or watch Demon Slayer, But this is just a stupid explanation for giving a strong character a slender build.

Personally, I don’t care if a character is strong but has a lean/slender build, whether it be a man or a woman. Although I do find it a bit weird that some creators are seemingly allergic to giving female characters any muscle, but again, I don’t care that much.

My issue here is that you easily could have just not addressed it. It’s a fantasy story full of demons and shit, I feel like you don’t need to give an in-universe explanation just so you can go “e-erm actually, she’s slender because of her very special body…” dude, you just didn’t want to give a woman muscles, don’t try to hide behind some kind of BS lore that you wrote for it.

Like Mark in Invincible can fight Conquest despite being the size of his torso, and I’m willing to accept that. It’s a story full of aliens and monsters, I can look past the fact that a lean 20 year old is taking on a hulked out 2000 year old. It doesn’t really break the immersion for me because it’s a fantastical story. I don’t need it to be super realistic. Just don’t try to make up some BS explanation like “erm, well, Mark is just magically holding in his muscle mass!”

At the end of the day, it’s your world and your story, if you wanna make a slender female character who is also really strong, that’s fine. But you also don’t need to cope so hard that you add lore specifically to deflect criticism against something so (let’s be honest) harmless.

I keep seeing this and its SO annoying. Just because you're a part of a specific minority group doesn't mean you should go out of your way to take a giant shit on whatever you might be a part of. And stop grouping everyone together and acting like you're the arbiter of what is and isn't good for your community!

I swear I've seen like a million of these, and it goes for literally every minority group out there.

The thing that upsets me most about it is the constant reassurance to the reader that the OP isn't a bigot at all! Specifying that they're a part of it over and over and constantly saying they really aren't hateful while simultaneously writing several paragraphs breaking down how my the personality of their certain niche or minority group acts as if they're some sort of white knight fighting against the horrors of people finding things interesting.

Meta I hate when people take serious words and censor them in a stupid way

Post image
14.9k Upvotes

I get that censorship rules on sites like TikTok and YouTube are terrible, and that the slightest offensive content gets taken down, but it grates my gears whenever I see someone talking about a serious topic but they censor any serious words.

Imo, it’s incredibly disrespectful to the topic you’re talking about. imagine being a rape survivor and someone says to you “I’m so sorry you were graped” or watching a true crime documentary and the narrator said “and then the victim was unalived by a pew pew.” I wouldn’t be able to take anything the person said seriously after that. Intentional or not it’s a mockery of those topics.

It’s especially worse with YouTube video, especially among the thousands of copy past commentary YouTubers. The person talking is always like “oh I have to censor this word or I’ll get demonetized“ FUCK OFF. If you’re so worried about not making money that you’re going to disrespect serious topics, just don’t talk about them. Topics like rape and suicide deserve to be discussed with sincerity and turning it into some silly goofy word pisses me off to no end.

Meta When someone is Hating on AI But their entire argument is "AI Bad"

Thumbnail

2.1k Upvotes

Before you say anything...

I Am Anti-AI myself.

I am Tired of Seeing Soulless Clanker Generated Shit everywhere. I Don't want AI on Every device that exists on the planet. and I FUCKING HATE how Corporations use it To Steal our Personal data. and how AI uses your data without permission for Training.

The problem, I have with people who Hate Ai with the sole reason for it being Ai.

Like that's it... you could see something genuinely impressive and people will only hate it because AI was used on it...

Like solving Mathematical problems is the one thing AI was invented for and now it getting hated for doing it's job for no reason whatsoever.

Like it feels so forced...

A quick story, I dropped a comment on a post saying a saw someone port Forza Horizon 2's Xbox One Version on PC and running it at 4k native at 60fps...

And the OP responded with "mf just use an emulator"

Yeah, right... Let me just Pull out 2000$ from my back pocket and get myself a 5090 to play an Xbox one Exclusive title on an Emulator THAT DOESN'T EXIST...

Like.... do you hear yourself?

But in all seriousness, telling someone to Emulate a game where a PC Port can run it flawlessly is kinda stupid(unless if you're voluntarily doing it yourself)

People with no Idea how the game decompiling works when it comes to hating it:

No but seriously, I thought people wanted AI to do stuff that wasn't possible before? This is exactly it. I understand and agree with hating shit like AI Art because it's something that a human can do but hating these "ports" that has nothing to do with it replacing humans. These "ports" aren't replacing developers and they are doing something that entirely new so what exactly is the Problem?

Like yeah, I know that An AI algorithm helped you decompile this game, but the game itself was made by humans.

And decompiling isn't a new thing at all. This was a practice since the 90s

Hell, Metal Gear Solid 2's original PC Port that came out back In 2003 was a Recompiled version of the original PS2 game.

The same exact goes For Resident Evil 4's OG PC Port and Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition on PC.

You can play these games on the hardware of their time without An Emulator which takes a lot more processing power...

And Yes, God Of War 3's PC Port is real. Although it's fan made.

We're at the part where AI is a buzz word that immediately obliterates context and nuance. I hate sounding like an AI bro but we have to stop riding the hate train because a broadly defined word reminded us of companies that are bad. AI bad always is a marginally better opinion than AI good always. By generalizing so heavily people are forgoing the critical thinking that they claim only AI is doing to people

I totally understand being anti-AI but this particular type of hate genuinely feels so forced.

Meta I hate how people treat Charlie (MoistCrit1kal) online

Post image
4.5k Upvotes

I'm going on this rant after his latest video where he addresses some of the critiscism people threw at him for his video about the H3H3 vs iDubbz controversy, which i won't dive into. It's just sime drama between two washed up creators.

​

And i'm not here to whiteknight for Charlie, i'll explain at the end.

​

Basically there are three main points that people criticize Charlie for, one is fine and the other two are complete bullshit.

​

The fine one: "He's a sloptuber"

​

Yes, he's the textbook definition of sloptuber, he churns out 2 or 3 daily videos talking about the most random topics possible. But at the very least he adds some personality to it instead of being your standard commentary channel that just roboticly spits summaries of what they read on the news.

​

The two bullshit ones:

​

"He just parrots the opinion 90% of people share to pander to the largesr audience possible"

​

No, he has just normal opinions that a normal person has. He isn't in need of farming views and reactions (good or negative) by having the stupidest opinion possible on something to feel smart.

​

He doesn't need to say that Cuties is a subversive masterpiece, he can just say it's softcore CP. He doesn't need to say that Elon Musk is some unrecognized genius of our time, he can just say that he's a cringe loser. He doesn't need to say that Trump is some political hero or 5D chess master, he can just say that he's a senile geriatric old fart.

​

"He's a fence sitter, so he doesn't offend anyone"

​

This is what always grinded my gears the most because if you think this, it's obvious you never watch anyone of his videos.

​

It doesn't even take any form of media literacy, you literally need just the abilty to pick up soundwaves and process them in your brain to understand where he stands on every single topic he talks about.

​

But of course with the modern internet landscape, if you don't have the most extreme take, on any side, of something, then you're a fence sitter.

​

And to make the point i alluded at the start, why did i make this post?

​

Again, not to whiteknight for him, Charlie is a big man, he doesn't need some random loser on Reddit to defend him, but to vent. Vent about the state of the internet.

​

I've been following Charlie for years now. Why? Because he's just a guy.

​

He doesn't try to put up a performance or be controversial for the sake of views.

​

And this is what makes me mad, people are so used to losers like Asmongold, Sneako, Hasan and so long and so forth, that the moment a dude is just chilling and uploading content that isn't extremist or pandering to someone it's controversial.

​

I'm the same age as Charlie, and that is the Internet i grew up on, just people being people. But now it's not fine anymore, you either wear a mask and go fight in immaginary wars for a faction brainwashed by other content creators, or you're shunned by the web.

​

It's sad the state of the Internet today. Sorry for the long rant, had to get it out of me.

Post image

The thing I hate about this is that it represents that people who hate AI will be completely down to support it so long as it’s funny.

They’ll laugh at something like this, and glaze it to death and then go on Twitter the next day and bitch about people who love ai. You are part of the problem!

And then people try to make the argument that people draw this thing by hand, and that makes it okay. Like it’s some kind of “revolution”

No. You’re just making excuses to enjoy a creation of AI. I don’t care how many people draw it, I don’t care how well it’s drawn or what it’s used in, it’s AI. It is a creation of AI. It comes from a person who used/uses AI. It doesn’t matter.

Someone could make a really nice portrait of a shitty person, that doesn’t make said person good. It doesn’t “revolutionise” how this person is. At the end of the day, they were a bad person, and if anything, you are contributing to creating this idea that the person was actually good.

It really shows to me that people who shit on AI are totally willing to throw away their beliefs so long as the subject is funny to them. Take an actual fucking stance instead of flip flopping depending on whether or not the subject is funny/popular.

And on a side note: Ignoring the AI stuff, it’s not even funny. I legitimately think less of people who find this thing funny.

As someone who's lived in Japan going on 5 years and has eaten everything from fine dining to fast food slop. Japan has some of the blandest cuisine on the planet. Do you like the flavour profiles of: salty, salty, very salty or bland? Japan might be the place for you.

People also spout "but the quality of ingredients" as the reasoning for why the food needs to taste like shoe soles. When in reality the fruits and vegetables here are trash at premium prices since nothing grows here naturally. I don't know what kind of exclusively processed food diet a lot of people here grew up with that Japanese food is a revelation to them.

Meta I hate subreddits that fail to prevent the Three Fungal Infections of the Internet: Ads, Porn, and Politics

Post image
2.2k Upvotes

If you do not specifically keep the Three Fungal Infections of the Internet out of your subreddit, your subreddit will be replaced by one/all of these things.

This is the basic function of moderation, and so many subs on Reddit that are supposedly about some other topic are now just Subreddit #4,572,384 for softcore porn or political shilling or whatever, with mods either being ineffective at preventing it, or completely on board with it.

These things act like a persistent environmental disease, always scratching at the door trying to get in, requiring constant pushback to keep them out. If they're let in, they get worse and harder to get rid of, until eventually they just completely take over the place and remove its original purpose.

Let's say I make a subreddit about my favorite new video game, Super Jump Man. Well, along comes someone who wants to link to his Super Jump Man themed merchandise he's making. The problem is, he wants as many sales as possible, so he doesn't interact like a regular Super Jump Man fan, he SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAMS his link on every conversation to reach as many people as possible. He needs to be dealt with quick if you don't want the entire sub to be spamming commercial links and no one actually talking.

And then along comes a "cosplayer" who seems oddly focused on the female side characters in the Super Jump Man world, and whose 'cosplay' seems to be a literally stripped-down version of how the characters typically look. Click on her profile, and surprise surprise, she's a porn model, and there are all the links to her paid websites. SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM, for the same reason as the first guy. Prepare for lots of "it's not porn, it's art!" and accusations of misogyny. Fail to take care of the first one, and watch lots of other "models" discovering that your subreddit is free ad space.

And politics. This one can be shills directly (individuals and/or bots bought by political campaigns to try to start "grassroots" conversations about their causes and candidates wherever they can), or it can just be individuals addicted to politics who can't stop talking about it, anywhere. Either way, if you don't put a stop to it, your subreddit is now just the three-millionth subreddit where everyone's talking about the political talking points of the day, instead of Super Jump Man. Prepare for poor attempts at relating it to the content ("[Super Jump Man] supports [my political opinions]!"). ("It's not politics, it's common sense!") ("You're just banning MY politics because you're an evil OTHER GUY supporter!")

And here's the thing. There's a time and a place for this shit. Want to be sold a CPU? Go to a subreddit that's about CPU's: performance and price comparisons, people talking about their experiences, people talking about where to buy them. Just don't spam subreddits that have nothing to do with that shit with ads. Same for porn (it's the Internet - you can find porn - you just want to be able to find other things too without porn drowning them out), same for politics (same shit as porn).

Mods are usually a plague on Reddit. Being "employed" for free, they're mostly paid in power trips (being able to use the ban button as a "fuck you" button and Reddit mostly looks the other way), but policing for these three basic infections IS the whole reason an Internet forum needs mods in the first place. I hate it when mods fail at their fundamental most basic reason for existing, which is making sure places exist on the Internet that aren't just free space for these three things.
