There is a Homestuck thread on this matter, but it'd need to be more general.Are you bored of thinking like everyone? Tired of sheepthinking? Well now you can express your very own thoughts about popular (or not) matters, and we'll try not to lynch you. Share your opinions and find others who think like you, and thus let friendships bloom. I honestly think the Star Wars prequels weren't so bad. The CGI wasn't over-the-top. Heck, those films even brought up things like Darth Maul and the dual-blade lightsaber, how Stormtroopers are made, Darth Vader's origin story and badass Queen Amidala. And by the way, Cars 2 was better than the first one.

While the gameplay isn't good and incredibly buggy, I actually like the story of Sonic '06, and would've been great if it wasn't rushed. Same goes for Sonic Boom.
(And stop making an uproar over Sonic and Elise kissing. This is a kids' game--nothing should be taken seriously unless real-world harm is being done.)

The problem about Sonic and Elise kissing isn't even "BUT THINK ABOUT THE KIIIDS!!". It's more like it seems like a scene you'd see on a 12 year old girl's fanfiction. We just can't take it seriously.

Heck, those films even brought up things like Darth Maul and the dual-blade lightsaber, how Stormtroopers are made, Darth Vader's origin story and badass Queen Amidala. I agree while it's true they weren't as good as the original trilogy, and Anakin and Padmé's romance was done very poorly, overall they weren't bad movies, and had some excellent worldbuilding (something the new movie fails at). On a similar note, I thought Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was a great movie and a worthy addition to the Indiana Jones series. And some other things off the top of my head: I hate touchscreens; I'll concede that they can be made more mobile, but if at all possible I prefer actual physical controls. The Game Grumps aren't that funny. I do enjoy let's plays, but for whatever reason whenever I've tried watching a Game Grumps video, I just didn't find it interesting. Gunnerkrigg Court is overrated. It's not a bad webcomic, but it's not as amazing as so many people make it out to be.

Ironically? It is pretty much the greatest, but genuinely, I can't really like it all that much. There's effort put into it, and I'm certainly impressed, but it's just not my thing.

I miss the old pull-out QWERTY keyboards on phones. These touch screen keyboards are just hell to type on. And if that makes me sound like an old woman, oh well.

You're not the only one who misses em. Physical actual touch on QWERTY keyboards was easy for me. Now I just hate touch on keyboards. I think Nic Cage is very.....-

THANK YOU. I wish people realize that pop music isn't the only genre, or how poorly written the lyrics often are. Some bad stuff happening in a character's backstory can actually be good in an OC as long it's realistic and not done purely for sympathy and drama. Like having murdered parents--the child shouldn't be alive as well. And don't throw Harry Potter at me. The only reason he was alive was because the insta-kill spell bounced back on to the antagonist.

Leave Harry Potter alone!

If Harry Potter was a girl, everyone would call her a Mary Sue.

Whoops, forgot that one detail. Been a while since I read the books or watched the movies. Still, there's still a reason why Harry survived. Unlike most people who go for the murdered-parents cliche.

I think there's reasonably good in-universe reasons for most characters whose parents were murdered in their backstory not to also have been killed, in fact usually they're better than "the magic of love and maybe a prophecy but maybe not". Like... the killer having motives beyond just wanting to kill a whole family.

I think they reveal the anticonformist side of a person, and as such are very useful.
Disney's "Meet the Robinsons" has an awful English dub. Characters are expressionless and talk too softly. It's one of the few I prefer to watch in French.

And the guy just didn't want to bother with killing the entire family if not everyone was around.

Well, here's the thing: Pop music is called that because it'd popular. If it wasn't popular, it wouldn't be called pop music. So it could be argued that pop music is by definition overrated, as it's more popular, while not necessarily better, than other music. The Game Grumps aren't that funny. I do enjoy let's plays, but for whatever reason whenever I've tried watching a Game Grumps video, I just didn't find it interesting. Same. Also Roosterteeth, Markiplier, and PewDiePie. I can't watch any of them.
I agree about Markiplier and PewDiePie, though I do think Roosterteeth can sometimes be pretty good. I thought about mentioning PewDiePie in my initial post, but I feel that despite his overwhelming popularity, there is still quite a number of people who hate him, so hating him doesn't really qualify as unpopular.

I don't really have an interest in playing Pokemon Go. But, I didn't grow up playing/watching Pokemon so that's probably a factor lol.
