You don’t know the shit I’ve seen.

BilboBargains,

I love comedy podcasts, The Jeselnek and Rosenthal Vanity Project, a favourite. His style is dark humour and it seems that a significant proportion of the audience actually believe some of the things he jokes about. I think it’s one of the reasons they rarely field audience questions and never phone calls.

Comedy can be a minefield for this type of stuff. I’m a big fan of the comedians that can dance around the edge, or seem to cross it and then bring the audience back, eg: Mark Normand, Bill Burr, Jimmy Carr, a lot of the old Norm MacDonald stuff, etc.

But I’ll see some fan compilations with titles or comments that make it clear that they don’t get the style of humor… Like “[comedian] DESTROYS feminists!!1!”

When, to anyone with a reasonable level of social intelligence, it’s abundantly clear that that’s not what’s happening.

BilboBargains,

Yeah, those guys are walking the high wire and making it look easy. One slip could result in a Dave Chappelle.

UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT,

I really thought Chappelle was one of those people but yeah, he refused to step back from the edge.

CADmonkey,

I have a motorcycle. It’s a Harley-Davidson. Immediately, everyone is picturing a large and unpleasant looking bearded man riding a huge, noisy, vibrating, chrome bedazzled air cooled motorcycle without a helmet from one bar to the next.

My harley makes about as much noise as a Toyota Camry. I wear full protective gear when riding it, including a bright and attention-getting helmet. It doesn’t get ridden to bars, because drinking interferes with my motorcycle addiction.

The large and unpleasant looking bearded man part is accurate, though.

So we were only half correct.

scorpious,

a-HA!!

RagingRobot,

I bet you’re at least a little bit pleasant to some people lol

CADmonkey,

My other half seems to think so.

Saltblue,

I never understood the " I’m so badass I’m going to ride without the only thing that can prevent my skull from cracking like an egg" I guess live fast die young, but in the event you don’t die the only way we will know where your mouth is, it will be following the feeding tube.

Anyways safe rides dude.

Plopp,

I mean, some dudes won’t use environmentally friendly grocery bags because they’re afraid to appear “gay”. Some men’s masculinity is oh so fragile. Like a human skull in a motorcycle accident perhaps.

CADmonkey,

Guys, is it gay to avoid filling your trash can with a bunch of plastic bags?

jpreston2005,

so gay. can confirm, am half gay. reusable grocery bags is the new “wear white aasics to a planet fitness”

CADmonkey,

It has been my long-standing belief that a motorcycle helmet can prevent an accident. I’ve had too many things hit my visor while riding. Imagine taking a june bug in the eye with nothing but a set of oakleys for protection.

Saltblue,

The bug in the eye is a classic, I just wanted to feel the air on my face.

Fandom is like a coin. A coin that has a shiny surface on one side and a dirty, rusty, smelly layer on the other. Some fans can have the passion and diligence to elevate the media while being respectful, while a lot of fans can be just down right hateful because it’s easier to do so while contributing to nothing

fckreddit,

For example, Gintama anime subreddit. It is such a pleasant corner of reddit. Everyone just caring about the show and characters and jokes, that’s all. I have rarely seen a hateful comment or post.

cone_zombie,

Is it still airing? I watched it about 15 years ago, you just reminded me of something long forgotten

Syrc,

Iirc it finished 2/3 years ago

fckreddit,

It is done. The finale was a movie. And holy shit, it was amazing. It’s definitely worth watching again in my opinion.

This picture is so wrong and offensive!

Picard is captain, he wears four pips, not three. Honestly.

Chinchillax,

I’ve had the opposite experience. But then again I don’t really watch media without interacting and falling in love with the fandom first.

I wouldn’t have watched Star Trek without Trekkies being awesome.

samus12345,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

Hmm, what’s something I really like that gets shit on all the time? Open-world games with question marks all over the map is a big one. I like checking off points of interest, but it’s reviled by many, and I can understand why. I also hate Soulslike games even though they seem to be super popular.

    The star wars prequels are my favorites. The original trilogy is also very fun, but not really to my tastes.

    PERL, then Ruby

    We may be mortal enemies!

    Kalothar,

    Ruby was the first programming language I learned and it was such a great entry point into learning for me.

    Now I mainly am using JS in some form (MERN Stack guy), but it did help me learn Python which I use for lots of scraping and even some IoT prog with MicroPython.

    All of this just to say, Ruby is a fine language. I don’t know much about PERL though

    EmergMemeHologram,

    Ruby is really cool, and it’s fun to write, I just find it difficult to follow because when I read Rails code there’s so much magic going on and the inheritance structure makes it hard to find things.

    I relate to the philosophy of Python “explicit is better than implicit”, it’s my favourite language.

    I’ve come around to liking JS, I like the ideas of its design despite the quirks.

    LetterboxPancake,

    Never lay your eyes on spring boot then.

    BAH!! Real developers only use ‘1’ and ‘0’ anything else and you’re just some casual normie.

    Landmammals,

    I wish the main cast of Valerian and Passengers were switched.

    Kolanaki, (edited )
    @Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

    I like the look of the cybertruck for sure. But I’m not a fan of how it is constructed, or Musk. Be sweet to see some better cars with similarly retro futuristic looks.

    I also liked Valerian, but more for the world building than the main plot.

    And what the fuck is wrong with Bruce Willis? 🤨

    superduperenigma, (edited )

    Do you dislike Bruce Willis now that he has dementia?

    LetterboxPancake,

    Hmmm, sardines…

    FIST_FILLET,

    i also unironically like ios and mac and i feel your pain. the apple “community” online is probably the biggest example of people not understanding that you can criticize the shortcomings of a product you paid for

    EmergMemeHologram,

    Here here.

    I’ll be the first guy to in detail list all crappy things about macOS. But it’s my favourite OS, and I’m happy with it.

    I don’t like the vapid criticisms that it’s a toy and can’t do anything from peine who’ve never tried it, and I agree with the criticisms that Apple charges way too much and is awful for gaming.

    FIST_FILLET,

    Electromechanical_Supergiant,

    I like how varied this list is lol

    I enjoyed Cyberpunk at launch. Forgive me…

    The_Picard_Maneuver,
    @The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website avatar

    I did too… Even with a handful of weird bugs, it was an awesome experience (on PC)

    FilthyHookerSpit,

    I played it on ps5, crashes were very rare and the story/gameplay was great.

    criticon,

    Even when it crasehd every hour I had a blast, I learned how to tell if it was about to crash and I would save and rebbot

    I’m playing it again and it looks great on v2.1

    ultra,

    I liked the emoji movie…

    aniki,

    no you didn’t

    ultra,

    I was 7 when it came out :p

    occhionaut,

    Its okay Alex, you’re safe here.

    Guntrigger,

    I think this is fine and nothing to apologise about. But those that played it on the (then) current gen consoles had an awful time with it.

    I understand the majority of players were on PC or newer gen consoles, but it irritates me if PC players argue it was fine because they didn’t see those issues. CDPR literally removed it from the PlayStation store and offered everyone refunds it was that bad!

    JJROKCZ,

    It was a damn good game at launch, and it just got better over time. I defend it always since I had a blast, had very few and only minor bugs/issues, and got a ton of time out of it for the money.

    EmergMemeHologram,

    I actually liked No Man’s Sky at launch, but I didn’t watch any of the pre release stuff.

    I heard people talking about it and picked up a copy on my way home from work on release day. It was fun got boring fairly quickly.

    Kolanaki,
    @Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

    I think I liked it more on launch than I do now. I had all of like 5 bugs my first 3 times through the game before they started changing things.

    • A dude that pops into existence during the scene at Tom’s Diner and Gumby t-poses out a wall
    • a random T-posing baddie when I zoomed in my first sniper rifle
    • the painting exploit
    • the melee weapon exploit when doing the boxing matches
    • the slow-mo bunny hop speed exploit.

    None of these negatively affected the game. In fact the last one was dope and I wish they didn’t fix that one at all.

    Coming back recently because of 2.0 and I get:

    • Stuck in 1st person while driving, which sucks because most of the cars have impossibly tiny windshields and I literally can not fucking see where I am going.
    • AI cars in traffic that just explode like they were hit by invisible cars, throwing them around or cars falling from the sky, sometimes on me and killing me
    • UI freezing so that I’m basically stuck with the scan mode overlay while I’m no longer scanning which requires a full restart of the game to fix.
    • The new skill system has a skill that says it lets you reload and another skill to shoot while vaulting but neither seem to actually work.
    • Tons of script related issues that break sequences in the quest I am on, forcing a reload. Sometimes several minutes prior because it has to be before the trigger that broke the shit.

    None of these are fun and they all impact the game negatively. :/

    yukichigai,

    Naw man, me too. Was it full of bugs on launch? Absolutely. Did it fall far short of the hype? Very. Was I having fun playing it? A blast, actually. I unapologetically love 2077 and feel like I got more than my money’s worth.

    AnUnusualRelic,
    @AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world avatar

    So did I. I never understand what everyone was bitching about.

    AbsoluteChicagoDog,

    Me too

    Willy,

    I waited. bought it later and thought it was a poor gta 5 clone. Same with rdr. guess I just don’t like that style of game. Loved witcher 3 though. shrug.

    @vox@sopuli.xyz avatar

    echo chamber or sth, probably
    game was definitely less buggy then Skyrim, even with all official patches

    paddirn, (edited )

    I like some manga and anime, but I usually come away with an uncomfortable feeling when I interact with passionate fans of manga or anime. To me, the vast majority is crap, but there are some good gems here and there. Hardcore fans though are all about the most boring or weird shit, and even have a slightly off sense of humor. I’m sure I’d be seen as some filthy casual who just follows the mainstream shit, like how people outside of RPGs only see DnD as the entirety of the role-playing hobby. It’s probably always going to happen between casuals and passionate fans of any topic.

    fckreddit,

    Check out Gintama subreddit. It is much pleasant compared to other anime subreddits for example. Most posts are just people talking about their favourite storylines, characters and jokes.

    JJROKCZ,

    Similar here, I enjoy a few anime and will admit to people I know that I have and do watch anime. I have no interest in discussing it most of the time as I don’t want to interact with weebs or be associated with them.

    Helps that I have zero interest in romance or isekai anime, my interest are all based and related around watching a whole lot of dragon ball as a kid so I watch similar things now

    Zoidsberg,
    @Zoidsberg@lemmy.ca avatar

    In high school I mentioned that I’d just finished Death Note and enjoyed it. The Anime Kid berated me for watching a normie show and made a bunch of references I didn’t understand.

    yamanii,
    @yamanii@lemmy.world avatar

    Majority of everything is crap, we just get all anime now instead of the handful big hitters that toonami imported.

    li10,

    I used to be active on /r/mma which was actually a decent sub with good moderation, but there was also /r/ufc which was just awful.

    A place for teenagers to post dogshit takes and say shit like “I can’t wait to see X fighter get knocked out”. They treat it like WWE, wanting it to be a dramatic story and not the competitive sport that it is.

    rustyfish,
    @rustyfish@lemmy.world avatar

    Oh ffs. For me it was the 40K fans. The grand majority is completely fine. But there are still these mouth breathing, bitter, gatekeeping neckbeards who loose their mind the moment something goes against…well they loose their mind all the time. No real reason to it. At least the mods tried to contain the worst offenders. Who would have thought a setting filled with hate and xenophobia attracts hate filled racists?

    lugal,

    Aren’t you afraid you enjoy it for the wrong reasons?

    OhStopYellingAtMe,
    @OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world avatar

    For many “fans,” it seems like it’s trendy to be cynical and negative.
    They can’t just enjoy a new Trek, or Star Wars, or Marvel movie, without picking it apart and finding everything to complain about - and then criticizing not only the show/movie, but the more positive fans who are willing to overlook such trivial issues and just have fun.

    Not to mention the really awful subgroups of fans who will hate any genre where a woman hero or a minority hero gets time in the spotlight. They tank viewer ratings, harass the stars on social media, just go out of their way to ruin it for everyone. Totally toxic.

    EmergMemeHologram, (edited )

    I feel like critics have fallen into this hole too. Something comes out and they need a unique take on why it sucks to get views, when most people just watch it and enjoy it without criticisng the symbolism of the colour grading.

    Electromechanical_Supergiant, (edited )

    That’s the whole point of a critic though. They’re supposed to be providing deeper takes rooted in expertise in the film industry.

    I think part of the problem is that people think criticism is an inherently bad thing. That allows people to dismiss criticisms as being negative, rather than simply an observation of a flaw.

    Mongostein,

    I just wanna talk theories but everyone wants to shit all over Marvel :(

    Kalothar, (edited )

    Yeah, like where did all the fun go with discussing marvel? Did it die with endgame?

    I want to conjecture with people about where they are going to go with their current phase. Who will be the new front runner character?

    While I enjoy Tom Holland, I don’t believe he can fill the charisma vacuum left by Downey.

    How are the x-men going to be brought into the fold?

    Fun fact: I’m much more of DC fan, but marvel captured a generation and they have the spotlight for now.

    I’m really hoping DC takes a more mature darker route like The Boys, but without just remaking Injustice as R movie.

    Give me dark brutal Batman, make Thanos look like child’s play next to DarkSeid. Supes needs a movie centered around a problem he can’t just punch away

    FilthyHookerSpit,

    I just got to say, seeing Batffleck brutalizing criminals was something I didn’t know I wanted to see and was a breath of fresh air even if the movie wasn’t great. I do think DC should embrace darker movies but with Gun at the helm, I’m hoping he goes less campy than with Peacemaker or GotG.

    JJROKCZ,

    Yea I don’t like friendly neighborhood crime watch Batman, I want a Batman that cripples and beats the fuck out of crime as a deterrent

    TheBat,
    @TheBat@lemmy.world avatar

    Yeah, like where did all the fun go with discussing marvel? Did it die with endgame?

    Yes, and I’m not saying that to jerk or shitpost. And now after this Jonathan Majors shit, I am more interested in behind the scenes drama.

    Chakravanti,

    Only because is bass ackwards. Thanos was THE good guy. I’ll leave it at that unless your really want me to shit all over the rest.
