[QUOTE=GamerChick;48306651]White girl clothes. I don't like them. They all look the same, are overpriced and are made of shitty cheap fabric. [IMG]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/50/5f/11/505f1151b4d67117d1e518387091389b.jpg[/IMG] I'd rather wear guys clothes than that crap.[/QUOTE] This shit exactly. This describes a good 90% of the girls in my town. I don't feel right getting angry about what people wear, but god damn why do SO MANY girls have to wear this generic shit? I get that this the "I don't give a shit about how I look today" outfit, but I know people who still manage to break the "white girl" stereotype with a no-effort outfit. Primarily because they aren't wearing the same brand-name shit. This shit along with society pushing the idea of pale people being disgusting, and that you have to be obnoxiously tanned in order to be attractive. What the fuck.
Girls using guns. Now I'm not saying that I hate every single girl using a gun, but on social media like Instagram, you see so many pictures/videos of them with this gun that's way too big for them, they're wearing those dumb tight ass clothes, and they obviously have no idea what they're doing (Shooting form, safety, etc.) "Pew pew day at the range with #squad *gun emoiji* *gun emoji* #guns #shotguns #igmiltia #secondamendment #fuckISIS" Yes there are also some guys like this, but it's honestly mostly girls.
Casual gaming.
[QUOTE=FLIPPY;48308320]Casual gaming.[/QUOTE] On the same topic, casual games that demand you pester friends on social networks to play longer or else you have to spend money to keep playing. If I wanted to keep paying to play games, I'd go to an arcade.

Candy Crush comes to mind. I rather play Bejeweled, than this monstrosity.
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;48308310]What the fuck is emoji? You mean those smiley faces on Facebook? Why are we calling them emoji now?[/QUOTE] I don't know, that's what people around here call them.
[QUOTE=Hunter-Spy;48306413]Warhammer 40k, sure, it's cool and all but it gets annoying when you see people quoting "lol heresy"/"lol emperor" every moment they can. [B]I am aware that most people on FP have a Warhammer avatar[/B], but that's okay because that doesn't bug me, the needless quoting however, does. PC "master race", noting wrong with being entirely PC gaming. but using the term "console pleb" kinda makes you sound like an asshole tbh. and going "fuck consoles" too. Steam, I shouldn't judge as I use Steam Primarily, but the "omg steam sales" are beyond annoying, the "Gaben" thing too. hopefully this suffices, and this doesn't make me a pariah :v:[/QUOTE] :what:
Steam sales have gone to shit and aren't worth even getting excited anymore. Movies have mostly gone to shit and aren't even worth going to the theater on release anymore, not without friends who are excited for the movie or if you're exceptionally bored. Some good ones still roll out, but you're better off relaxing and waiting for lots of reviews to come in and inevitably picking it up on disc/online streaming service/elsewhere. Anyone who texts while driving. I've been in situations where I [I]needed[/I] to answer an actual call while driving, but I've also only ever been in one minor accident for however many miles/years I've put into a car - and that one was due to wet weather and a hill, not distractions. However, texting is just fucking stupid and you're putting everyone around you in major danger when you decide to look away from the road and muddle with a tiny shit keyboard while operating a ton-plus metal deathbox down a road at breakneck speeds. Seriously, get fucked. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, other social media sites. A lot of it is just noise, and most of that is people talking about themselves and their lives. If I don't care about celebrities, why do I care that my elementary teacher from 3rd grade got a new puppy? Friends and family I keep in contact with through phonecalls, email, and occasionally texting. Jobs that look entry level on the tin, but require you to have years of experience doing it. [I]Dishwasher needed at cheap, scummy restaurant - two years dish-washing [B]required [/B]DO NOT RESPOND IF YOU CAN'T MEET REQUIREMENTS.[/I] - I'll take the endearing postings from people who obviously don't know how to use a computer over those any days. "Emojis" The death of flip phones and in with the visually identical tablet-phones that grow in size ever year. I miss my Razr. If I could get one of those running Android and with some kind of real keyboard functionality, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I really hate on-screen touch keyboards. To the other poster who said Duck Dynasty - that too. What the fuck even. It's all over the local Spawl-Marts here and they have merchandise in everything. I'm honestly surprised I haven't seen a camo-sporting Duck Dynasty endorsed toilet seat yet.
[QUOTE=ejonkou;48308619]:what:[/QUOTE] I changed it to Warhammer 40k, assuming that's why you bolded that very line. although there are just some people with WH40k avatars.
People who hate on twerking just to seem contrarian you know you love that shit
[QUOTE=Glitchman;48307311]Then whats the wireless fart juicer he mentioned do[/QUOTE] This whole thing has really thrown me off, I don't even know what my original post was going to be. What the hell is this guy talking about

I really hate on-screen touch keyboards.[/QUOTE] I would love to get myself a clamshell and turn my current phone into a backup, but every time I mention it my parents always have to bring up that I use the most data in our plan. Whatever. I'd probably use the same amount on a phone that's 10x harder to buttdial with.
[QUOTE=ImpSnob;48308914]People who hate on twerking just to seem contrarian you know you love that shit[/QUOTE] Nah pretty sure I don't.
[QUOTE=Agent 47;48309582]Nah pretty sure I don't.[/QUOTE] it's a fine art when done right
[QUOTE=ImpSnob;48309596]it's a fine art when done right[/QUOTE] No it's not?
Twerking is gross. I like my lady to move with sensuality, not the finesse of a gorilla on a jackhammer.
People protesting whatever is the popular thing to protest without actually knowing details or looking at things in a non two dimensional way. An example of this would be Donald Sterling and Hulk Hogan being removed from their position and fired respectively. Yes they both said bad things, but in both cases it was recorded illegally and they clearly did not mean to publicly say their statements. I do not see how protesting and then removing them will solve any actual social justice issues and is instead done just to make the people protesting feel better about themselves. Related are protests with literally no actual goal. An example with this are the post-Zimmerman trial protests. Zimmerman likely was at fault, but our justice system requires a thing called "beyond reasonable doubt" to protect the innocent which clearly was not fulfilled. There is also a clause preventing double jeopardy which is just so I see no reason to protest when he was found not guilty. People wanted "stand your ground" repealed, and that would be valid, but it had nothing to do with the actual case. If you are going to protest make sure you are using proper cases and examples instead of helping push an agenda into something unrelated. Also related is the Confederate flag bullshit. I agree it was dumb to have it in a state capitol, but I don't see how censoring it everywhere will help actual issues in the world. Instead of mourning the actual people who died the news decided to focus on a flag and tell people to protest. tl;dr Protesting in the modern world is broken because the people protesting aren't actually properly informed and have no concrete demands.
The only was is Essex the TV show it really pisses me off.
Gun culture and gun nuts. 80% of them are just insecure and trying to seem cool. The other 20% are either hobbyist or 'sovereign citizen' militia crazies. I've found most people who actually [I]use[/I] guns for hunting or whatnot aren't even gun fanatics; to them it is just a tool to facilitate doing what they love. It's gotten to the point where I am scared to live in this country knowing most people are packing. At this rate I'll have to buy a gun myself.

[QUOTE=Poppadomus;48310998]Why would you buy a gun though, what category of gun owner do you fall into?[/QUOTE] He wants to create the sovereign nation called garryland.
All this "pranking", it's just so lame and cringe-worthy and doesn't make me laugh at all. Like Fousytube for example. Some of it really crosses the line, I was in Gmod cinema the other day and someone was playing videos of people smearing nutella on other people's hands/shoes in the washroom as if it were feces. There was another one where they would pour water on the floor and try to light it to sp00k the person into thinking that it was gasoline. It's just not funny.
[QUOTE=ejonkou;48311032]He wants to create the sovereign nation called garryland.[/QUOTE] Of course. Each little suburb will be based off a forum. Fast threads will be the overpopulated ghetto.

Just because you see a few nutjobs who will flail their guns everywhere does not mean a majority of gun owners are like that.
The trend of no longer having cheat codes, but instead shoving DLCs that do just that but cost money into the game.
Not being able to discover cheat codes, secrets, and Easter eggs by yourself anymore because people have much easier methods of spoiling them nowadays. I don't mean stuff like GameFAQs or cheat sites like that; I'm talking about videos that blatantly give spoilers away or gaming journalism pieces talking about them. It's a bit hard to explain, but basically you don't feel like you're discovering things on your own anymore since everybody else has done it. It's like "oh yeah, I remember read about that hidden room in Portal" and such.
I can't stand the trend of yelling out internet memes/functions in real life. I have actually heard people scream shit like "HASH TAG DESE NUTZ, HASH TAG DOGE" and it makes me feel ill. On a secondary note, even though it's shrinking nowadays, the trend of every shooter having regenerating health, two weapon limits, linear level design and worst of all, [B]no gibs[/B] was the worst. Gears of War was pretty cool, though.

And the reason for games like that are because game companies have been asking us to vote on what kinds of games we like (with our dollars) and everyone keeps voting on CoD.
