I don't really think there's anything wrong with liking anime or SU or even MLP. What's weird is making that a large part of your identity. If you're a creepy gently caress, that's a totally separate quality that might be correlated to liking MLP, but I still don't feel like making fun of someone for watching the show. If they're worth making fun of then they'll give me something specific to work with.

100 degrees Calcium posted:The poo poo/quality ratio of music in the country and rap genres is roughly the same as music in other genres. Saying you listen to "uh anything but country and rap" just lets me know that you listen to anime and video game soundtracks. I don't think it's a coincidence that these two genres are the ones most closely associated with specific stereotypes and those two genres being the most commonly written off ones.

yeah I eat rear end posted:What are you even trying to say? I've only seen 1 of those and Pocahontas wasn't bad, as a child. Maybe if I saw Frozen as a child it would have been OK, but as it was, I was an adult on a plane with literally nothing to do besides watch that movie and I chose to just continue on in silence because it was so unpleasant. If you enjoy frozen and you don't have kids and are just pretending to like it for their benefit there's something wrong with you, just like with steven universe or MLP. I'm saying that that my opinion is that those three movies are worse.

Jastiger posted:Iowa chop fan spotted. <3. North by Northwest exists, so that can't possibly be true. Seriously though, I think this is true to a point, but a lot of it comes from the evolution of acting as styles evolved away from their stage and silent film roots. I don't think that makes older movies any less worthwhile, but you've got to be in the right frame. I also don't think it's really relevant once you hit like the 70s. And so help me if you're going to tell me that Shia LaBeouf is a better actor than Cary Grant, Jastiger. SO HELP ME.

Fister Roboto posted:"The truth is never in the middle" actually means "I'll never admit that I'm wrong" or "I'm completely unwilling to compromise". The truth isn't always in the middle, but it's not never there either. It's somewhere in between the two.

Fister Roboto posted:OK, so in Sweden and Finland, the seasons don't start on a consistent day. That's stupid. Far from being arbitrary, those seem like the only ways of marking it that make sense. So you have two different measures: one that starts on the first day of a month and encompasses the next two months which is less accurate but easier to remember for the layman, and another one which is trickier to remember but a great deal more specific and based off of a very specific natural occurrence. Even in the first model you're picking it so that it roughly maps to the second one. Arbitrary would be like if you flipped a coin to decide it or something.

I think there's a difference between teasing and mocking as part of social pressure to conform and bullying. The latter is bad, the former is how you prevent bronies and anime later in life.

As annoying as naive, wide-eyed idealists and optimists can sometimes be, they're still way better than cynics. Cynicism is for babies who don't have the guts to care about things and/or maybe need to get treated for depression. Not me though, my scathing and irreverent wit is healthy and good.

yeah I eat rear end posted:I think it is very clear by now that the reviewing industry in general whether it is music, movies, or literature, is a bought and paid for industry. If you paid your dues to the media and greased the right wheels, your mediocre movie is on the way to a guaranteed oscar nomination. Honest media is dead and it's never coming back. Any particular example you'd like to use to support your theory? Also, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is an incredible album and deserves all the praise it gets.

At least you know where you stand with us. Anyway, I got that same vibe when I went to Australia. Super loud, super outgoing, super friendly. It was pretty awesome. I wonder if maybe it does really stem from an old class divide where the people going to the Americas/Australia would not have been the aloof nobility.

I like to eat oysters raw. Slurp them right out of the shell. This is common enough that you can often see it in restaurants that offer seafood, but that's apparently just for my benefit as I've never met anyone who didn't think that sounded gross. I also live in the PNW so it's not even as though there's a regional distrust of seafood here.

yeah I eat rear end posted:With multiple 500+ page threads that is an unreasonable requirement. The minimum requirement should be checking the past few pages to see if your argument has been brought up, but otherwise in a debate forum any argument should be welcomed. If it's a rehash of something that already happened, link it to them instead of probating them. I think a reasonable half way point might be to edit the OP to include any of these majorly rehashed derails and then maybe if you can't be bothered to check the first post you should eat a probation. That seem fair?

There was never a mystical age of cinema without remakes. Hell, between 1907 and 1959 they made Ben-Hur three loving times. (A record soon to be shattered by Spider-man, no doubt)

Baronjutter posted:I believe that there were probably aliens in ancient times, somewhere in the universe, not interacting with humanity in any way because space is too big for aliens to ever meet. I like to think that maybe we haven't been contacted by aliens because we're actually the furthest along and maybe we'll be the freaks kidnapping and anally probing them because no one seems to think we might have it backwards.

Guy Goodbody posted:the Fermi "paradox" is really stupid and the fact that people actually take it seriously makes me think less of everyone. The universe is really big. The galaxy could be teeming with life and we'll probably never know. And neither will the alien species either. Since faster than light travel is impossible, the only way to contact other species would be radio signals, which don't actually go on forever, they degrade and become indistinguishable from background radiation eventually, or Voyager style space probes, which are just a crap shoot because the galaxy is really big. I'm pretty sure the "paradox" was just a thing he came up with on his lunch break one day so I'm not terribly shocked that it doesn't hold up
