Non-Gaming Hot Takes

I just don't get the appeal it gets, I'm not saying it's a bad anime or something, but maybe it's more popular than it should be, like Dragon Ball or One Piece.
Somehow I do think that One Piece is overly popular for what it is.

I mean sure, it's a pirate anime but then again Captain Harlock and Treasure Island: Takarajima already had that theme. I also think that One Piece is too long for its own good, I'm legitimately fed up by never-ending Shonen Nekketsus that have over ten arcs and a ton of major villains. Dragon Ball Z having three major antagonists/Arcs was plenty enough.

I don't know which parts of JoJo you've seen but the first two are good old school mangas of the 80's which I'll always consider better than most modern ones.

I'm not interested in Modern JoJo though, I prefer the Hamon over the Stands and they look too slim, I miss the large shoulder guys in Part 1-3...

Your correction was very valuable. Thank you (not).
Aside from the sarcasm I really am curious why you said human, I'm genuinely wanting to know.

I said what I said, there's no deeper reason behind that.

I'll be blunt—do you enjoy needlessly pestering people and trying to debate them?

Prostitutes are repulsive

Most people think that. This is not a hot take at all.

Fine then.

Debating is probably better to nurture critical thinking instead of agreeing with everything being told.

I'm not pestering anyone, I'm just asking questions about things.

This is only true if both parties want it. Otherwise, it's just one person pestering another for no apparent reason.

But then why have you put human societies? I'm genuinely being confused about that detail.

Anyway, if I have to actually debate about the subject I'd still argue that children in our societies are often too much spoiled. They need to learn frustration and boredom so as adults they could endure bad situations better than having to act angry over the smallest issue and conflict (I cringe when I see adults screaming or being overly vocal about any small disagreements).

Actual adults are able to take it upon themselves, even if they're getting unjustly punished.

Okay, here's a fixed version of my post:

"Society as a whole doesn't give a shit about children."

Are you happy now?

I think fake-kun has their reasons to stay silent about that topic and you shouldn't really push that further, imo
 
Frankly I don’t get the appeal of mint ice cream
 
Not in todays world it isnt! More than a few game journos are or were that
It is a risky debate but some people would ask to not "objectify" people (even if they're being paid) and/or not slutshame workers. Of course I prefer a real relationship over something purely carnal.


On the other hand I'd hope that this doesn't imply that if a woman sleeps around it's bad while a guy doing the same thing is good.

Then why wanting to start the topic? I'm being curious. But if he wants to stop then fine.

We can still continue debating about how children are being treated in modern society.

I'll be a boomer saying that but no kid should have easy access to the Internet and Social Media. Tiktok is genuinely harmful to the mind.

I didn't start anything. I merely threw out my opinion into a pile that is this thread. YOU are the one who started pushing it.

I know where that pic is from lol.

Aren't both words being used in a similar context?

Anyway, I'd prefer not going too much into it because sadly even today there's a latent sexism about women having some implicit instructions to stay "pure" until marriage (despite that biologically there's actually nothing as some could lose the what-you-know with sport and athletics) and other things like that key and lock analogy that sounds antiquated and fallacious.

In fact with that same logic a man sleeping around could also mean he would have less fidelity.

I cant use my fav swear on this I learned it yesterday, so that will have to do

The way I mean it is prostitute can only mean one thing while whore can be used as an alternative way to say slut

Idc about whats sexist, I hate it, I like people forming connections rather than seeing the other sex as disposable
There's no love in it, no building a family

The before marriage thing applies to men too btw cause if you believe it you're a very strict christian or something (must be an anglo thing cause Ive never heard it here)
 
No really, mint ice cream tastes SO bad

Don't you think that could be true to an extent? Having a ton of sex partners, even when single, making it more likely (not obligatory, just more likely) that you'd cheat even if you get married etc? Supposedly there are studies that show that the ability to pair bond goes down the more partners you have. I've never really looked into it, but it's interesting. Personally the couples I respect the most are those people who've been together since high school or college. Obviously a lot of people didn't have the option, but I think it's the ideal scenario, pretty much. The idea that you need to "explore" and "have fun" (ie sleep around) when you're young is popular these days, but I'm not convinced that model actually works. I think it's more likely to form bad habits that mess up your chances at a real relationship down the line than to actually do any good.

I see.

I get that. Then again some people kinda throw that word too often, even if she dares having lighter clothes.

I do agree that today it's harder to form connections as people are scared of making bad encounters (you can never know a man's true intents until you get closer).

As for disposability maybe some people are sleeping only for recreational purposes (or out of desperation) rather than anything else. It's uncommon but species doing that for recreation can be seen in nature as well.

However I could argue that some could have love without the intent of building a family. I think that peer pressure to have a child is not a good idea.

Maybe strict people but then again I'd argue that the "first time" is not that important. Someone could even have a mediocre or bad first time while still having a lover and a family. Some people think that if you're not the her first one then you'll be worth less or being "too late" as if it was a race.

This could be a factor but in the same way that correlation isn't causality and that studies don't systematically define an axiom. That's why some studies could get debunked or proven to be wrong after a while. Remember that we used to think there were Alpha wolves until it was finally proven it wasn't the case.

High School love becoming a future husband/wife is cute on paper but in the meantime having a relationship in college/uni doesn't mean they will get married as they may have differing ways after.

I'd argue that there's no harm "having fun" around as long as there's no unwanted pregnancies nor STD transmission and as long as every parties involved are major and consenting. We are in the XXIst Century, the idea of keeping women chaste until marriage is from an era where contraception methods were less reliable (if not inexistant).

Bad habits like drugs or alcoholism are harmful I agree and maybe some people are sleeping around because they were left alone when they were younger but I think that porn addiction is more of the actual issue than sleeping with people and it won't necessarily prevent a real relationship to happen.

There are also quite many divorces among the previous generations of people.

Doesnt make me dislike it any less

Sure some people are happier without one but those are exceptions, and I dont think anyone should be forced

If its a couple exes fine, but I aint cleaning after a slut

Never seen more slutty clothing in my life than in the last 10 years, idk what happened to girls but I pity todays young men. Its unpleasant when preteens especially, how tf did their father allow them to go out like this

Fine, this is your opinion.

What is great about today's society is the choice to not have any kid.

Err... What do you mean by "cleaning"? Also having exes doesn't mean systematically that they slept with.

What's the number limit of exes then?

I'd be curious to know the definition of "slutty clothing"? I mean women are allowed to get dressed the way they want like men, we're not in an era where showing an ankle was considered as being indecent.

Elbows, ankles, knees and other parts that aren't the underbelly nor chest areas are not sexual at all. Pity young men about what?

While I'd say that sadly because of the kind of people outside that's safer to be more covered but in the other hand if a random guy gets embarrassed because he looked at a young person in light clothes then it's more than probably them being the problem. Normal people should have 0 reaction from looking and they don't have any reason to stare at to begin with.
