That I can agree with. It’s 10x as fast as the connection I played Quake DM on.

IDK if still counts as Hot take since i haven't saeen them in a while, but Fidget Spinners are actually kinda cool and good toy, i think the hatred came more from (Like most stuff) being everywhere

oh yeah, overexposure can certainly turn people against something. a lot of people still dislike frozen and especially oalf from the constant commercials playing about that movie and its toys.

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.

"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." - Benjamin Franklin

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.

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

I think this is referring to what I said but I’ve gotten a bit confused, so I’m making sure to try to clear things up. Please make sure to have read the rest of my opinion on the matter. The censorship I am saying is good is censorship for preventing hate speech, misinformation, exploitation of victims (such as censoring their faces and names ) and pushing harmful material to children.

Censorship is largely bad, but there are places for it. But the vast majority of the time it’s abused to cover people’s asses

not denying that but it could be worse. Like even that censorship (idk why I spelled it so weird the first time) is used as an excuse to erase history

(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)

I really should have been way more clear in my original post; Sorry for the confusion

your points are very valid and good, but unfortunately, you aren't the one who can decide that. we'd be better off if you were; you would do an immensely better job than those in power fight now.
but, unfortunately, censorship has been turned into a weapon for those who have gone mad with power. they can just say something is bad, and it is. no questions asked. normal people will question it, but the ones with the final say won't. same thing for anything that they say is good.
it can be helpful in certain situations, but it's been misused throughout time, and it will keep happening. there's not much we can do about it other than raising awareness and not becoming those who are abusing that very same power.

I totally agree, but we should also be able to view things in a multifaceted way. To fix something you have to be able to acknowledge both sides of it, since censorship will never go away the least we can do is try to push it in the right direction with the little power we have.

i agree. the main problem is that we have to get the ones with power and influence to agree. and a lot of them won't be incline to do so.

Censorship has always been, among other, more beneficial things, a weapon wielded by the powerful to manufacture consent. Honestly, the people in power part of that equation hasn’t even changed much in a long time. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Thank you, I was thinking of that quote but forgot to put it in this form.

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.

Self-awareness is good but I feel that quite many people are wanting others to question themselves without doing it either.

you're welcome. one of the youtubers that i watch brought this up at one point. it was one of the more political ones, can't remember specifically, but i recognized it as being very important quote, so i made a mental note of it.

It's good to remember major quotes (without making apocrypha because it's too easy to not check and make people say things they've never said).

I don't want to go into the political aspect but it's true that when someone asks to give up a bit of freedom for the sake of safety this is a serious red flag. It's not surprising that some are using people's fear to manipulate them and that others are wanting to impose rules while expecting to not abide to them.

no, you didn't make any errors with your wording. the author of one piece forgot that the main characters are supposed to eventually find the treasure stash. 1,000 episodes and they aren't any closer.

I think people just rob themselves to look at a high fantasy adventure series and place such importance on the end goal. It isn't a bug or a problem that the series has taken so long, its a feature. The fact that the series has managed to take us to so many places, build up the crew in so many ways and place them in such diverse predicaments is honestly kind of amazing.

It becomes so much easier when you appreciate that the end of something like One Piece is probably the least important thing about the series. I hate appeals to popularity, but it resonates with so many people because they care less about the ending itself and just appreciate the characters and the incredibly inventive journies that Oda puts them on week after week.

It won't be for everyone and that's totally understandable, but for people who love One Piece it is almost strictly a positive that the series hasn't focused so heavily on the ending itself. Especially true when the ending is almost impossible to make even half as worthwhile as the journey itself has been.

I mean it's the thing with fiction, it's not about Frodo throwing the Ring into the Mountain or Luke defeating the Emperor.

My issue with Shonen Nekketsu is that they tend to be a bit too long but that's also how the manga industry works, if a franchise is selling a lot of magazine preprints then it's better to make the most out of it. Even Dragon Ball can be summarised with 4-5 major fights.

I'm more interested in Seinens and short Shonens (or only focusing on a saga I love).

yes, those are good things. i'm glad that people are enjoying the series, but every story does come to an end. a lot of the time you can ignore the ending part because the story never really ends, we just reach a part where we can stop following our main characters and it feels like a good stopping point. one piece will most likely hit that kind of ending with no problem.
on the other hand, ending a story could allow for a new story to continue on as a follow up or take place in the same world with a new cast of characters and a new plot to form. case closed/detective conan has gone on for 25 years and is starting to reuse season 1 episodes for the new seasons because there's only so much that can be done with the setting and characters.
i would prefer for the story to reach a conclusion and move on.
there's also potential for a sequel story where jimmy and rachel get together and have a kid or 2 who can take up crime solving and solve crimes with their parents. it would be nice to have a crime solving mystery show with a family solving the various crimes and mysteries that occur. i don't recall there being many series out there like that.
in regards to the ending wouldn't be as worthwhile as the journey; there's a short sequence in skies of arcadia that does this during the main storyline. you go through a dungeon where a legendary pirate hid his treasure. just to find a solid gold coin at the end in a chest. it's a good reminder that it's not always about the end goal, but the path taken to get there.
