Non-Gaming Hot Takes

Sometimes sensor ship is good tbh, without it we’d still have so many terribly hateful things that would still be normalized

Agree to disagree

(Just want to clarify I believe a large majority of censorship is bad, but it can be helpful when used correctly like preventing down right hateful material from getting onto tv, as well as inappropriate content from reaching children. Sadly a lot of the time these are done very poorly)

In my opinion, stopping children from seeing inappropriate material should be their parent's responsibility, not anybody else's.

On a semi-related note, my hot take is that most people aren't suited to be parents.

Yeah, but also content ment for children shouldn’t have down right sexual content or extreme violence. I think it’s good to have some sort of system to prevent that kind of content from being implemented into content made for children.

But of course patents should make sure to know what kind of content their child is consuming. Parents really shouldn’t raise their children on internet content.

Maybe in the West, but in my country young people, especially women, are encouraged/pressured to have children, no matter how unfit for the parenthood they are.

Yeah stuff like this is a systemic/gender role issue in many parts of the world still.
No one can be 100% prepared as a first-time parent, but everyone should be allowed to have kids when they feel ready for it, society shouldn't enforce it on you.

If the thing is 20 years old dont cry about spoilers

Nah like for real though. If you don't want spoilers, then just avoid topics regarding it on the internet. Because the first thing you're bound to see when you look up forums or opinions on it are spoilers. But sometimes spoilers really are unavoidable because memes can be bigger than the show itself and they can be pretty inescapable, like the Ozymandias scene in BrBa. When I finally reached that point in the show, I bursted out laughing and I couldn't take it seriously due to the amount of "Breaking Good" memes I've seen and I felt guilty as hell because the entire episode is one of the most depressing things I've seen lol

Meditation isnt relaxing, it's just sitting down crosslegged and saying "uhmmmm uhmmmm" for like an hour until you get tired

if focused meditation doesn't work for you, you should consider an open approach. But meditation, like anything else, is something that takes practice to get good at.

Also it shouldn't make you tired??? Relaxed, maybe - but you shouldn't be falling asleep!!

I like Ten more than Kaiji.

Not really a hot take, since everyone who read both always tend to have Ten in their Fukumoto's top 1 (especially thanks to the infamous last three tome, should read it one day).
It's more an uncommon one since it's one of the least read Fukumoto's work.

Hokuto no Ken not needing a remake is a very overrated idea. Sorry, but HnK remake would be the PERFECT opportunity to make anime FAITHFUL TO THE MANGA. Sorry anime-onlies, I respect the manga more than I respect nostalgia.

I 100% agree, the manga deserve a lot better adaptation. Same for Souten No Ken, since it has horribles animes version.

For me I think my hot take is I prefere Speed Racer than The Matrix for Wathowski movies.

Stupids (like me) should die since they only hurt the world

What da hell?

Just, stop.

People that advocate for censorship will be happy once they get silenced for disagreement?

I wouldn't go as far but honestly I feel like people encouraging some stuff are the one expecting they'll never suffer from it but only the others...

Like asking to sacrifice freedom in favour of safety ends up getting stripped of both.

that is exactly what they think. that they will be spared from the consequences of their actions. they think they are the good guys and that will never end up being affected by what they did to others.

Far as expecting never to be censored themselves or never having to abide their own rules, I don’t think most folks actually think that way. The loud ones do, of course, but they aren’t necessarily representative of the average person. Like, I’m a big fan of speed limits on roads. In the US something like 30,000-40,000 people die every year in car accidents. That number would be way higher without speed limits, and once you’ve lost some friends/family to the road, it’s hard to be a purist about automotive liberty. That said, I used to deliver pizza. I’ve done plenty of speeding, and gotten tickets for it. I didn’t complain about the tickets because I know the law exists for good reasons, and I know my actions were wrong and childish. I don’t speed now on principle, but way back then the threat of fines and license revocation did help motivate me not to be stupid, and I’m glad for it.

Oh, and for what it’s worth, that’s the attitude most of my friends/family have as well.

Self hatred can be healthy

 

[ZombieFish]

Self hatred can be healthy

Self awareness and honesty about your own fallibility certainly can. Unless you’re like, a real nasty piece of work though, I think hatred is just dishonesty in the opposite direction.

 

[tropicalavera]

Self hatred can be healthy

yeah, that's a NO from me, chief. Self-reflection, evaluation, and an eagerness to change are good - but these can (and should) be done out of love for yourself - not disdain or hatred.
