Unpopular opinions V8 Flat IS NOTHING - General

I don't like Pepsi very much but Pepsi Max is way better than Diet Coke.

My dad used to buy them in like 36 packs and I drank SO MUCH diet pepsi when I was a teenager. When I moved out to college, my gf put a stop to that and now I rarely drink soda, even at restaurants. If we go out for a burger or movie I'll get a beer instead of a soda.

The Classic Megaman gameplay has not aged well at all, and i feel like the MM11 trailers are showing that. IMHO, i feel like anything relating to the X series would've gotten my attention better (yes, that includes the Metroid Prime style reboot that got cancelled)

Fucking layout is even worst than oldpunch, I don't get that early 2000s message board design. Oh hey a parent comment with 200 more comments. Click on it? Well fuck you, here I just extended your page to a fucking long ass conversation of people trying to be funny

I generally prefer reddit over facepunch even just due to the fact that there more experts and whatnot writing good effortposts where you learn something, which facepunch doesn't really usually have. You just have to unsubscribe from everything except a small handful of specific communities of shit you like. That mitigates some of its main problems.

Or you can decide what to subscribe to, like me, regardless of whether you post in it

The Black Out band is a true show of modern talent. https://youtu.be/hpsbj0OoeNo

I might be one of the few who've never really watched twitch, I just don't really see the appeal of twitch streamers. And the IRL streams

Given the amount of misinformation and karma whoring thrown around on that site, I generally don't believe those "informative" people because you never know who they are or whether what they say is true.

I don't count it as an informative post without sources, and on a lot of subs like askhistorians you can provide credentials. And again with the whoring, that's why I say it's best to abandon most default subs.

I unironically subscribe to r/me_irl

For me,I don't find either Pepsi or Coke better than the other. I'll just buy whichever one is available.

Visit AskHistorians at some point, they have extremely high standards for posts and the flaired users generally have a degree in what they're talking about.

I just had an interesting and productive discussion on the outcome of a deoxyfluorination reaction on poly(vinyl alcohol) on r/chemistry so it's not like all of reddit is full of shit. You just have to know where to look and be willing to contribute intelligently to the discussion yourself.

I don't understand why people laud streaming as such a great thing. Sure there's the benefit of realtime (well mostly) community interaction. But you also have to watch the stream on the streamer's schedule which isn't possible for many people. You also don't get the benefit of post-recording editing so you're forced to watch the boring parts too. I'd much rather watch a 20-40 minute video on my own time and not be able to give live input than watching a 3-5 hour stream on someone else's schedule.

garry needs to hand off development to other people

I don't mind the new layout too much, but I do miss the large amount of people that left FP due to the mobile version of the site being completely fucked up and etc.

I like Reddit because they have conversations about niche subjects, conversations that are impossible to sustain in a smaller community like Facepunch. For example, if I want to talk about Oracle databases, I can just visit the appropriate subreddit. I can't really do that here. Another thing I like about Reddit, at least in the subreddits I read, is how older, more experienced members provide perspectives I can't get on Facepunch, since virtually all of us are under the age of 30.

That's one of the positives of Reddit. The userbase is so massive, your chances of stumbling across somebody who has 20 years of experience in some insanely niche subject approach 100%.

And to add on about reddit, I prefer facepunch for the fact that its not entirely an echochamber. Opinions are more welcomed, like if you were to go into certain subreddits, its just a toxic echochamber, and any differing opinions are just gonna get downvoted to hell. Oh yea, and the whole please only downvote if it doesn't contribute to the topic and not because you disagree is dumb as hell. You think people are really gonna be so nice?

This kid died in a car crash a while back. Shit was fucked up.

Viscera Cleanup Detail has always seemed horribly, horribly unfun, even for the type of game that's best enjoyed with a podcast. (although curiously I seem to always see people playing it multiplayer and I don't think that makes it sound much better honestly)

I don't think Pride parades are helping LGBT acceptance to be completely honest. Rather than helping people see LGBTs as normal people, pride parades make them look like hedonistic, sex-crazed deviants to them with how so many attendants are wearing skin exposing outfits and acting creepy. It is just setting back LGBT acceptance and I think it should be done away with entirely. Most sensible people really don't care about whether Gay marriage is a sin or not, but most will be very annoyed at least by pulsating men making them late for work while not wearing pants.

I could see why someone lgbt might not be a fond of pride parades. Like if you Google gay pride parade you get a lot of stuff like this https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/204913/fff03499-86e0-49f3-bb16-8e603d27685e/image.png which is also how a lot of people I knew see gay people, and sadly is also why the same people don't like gay people.

Yeah I really can't be very fond of people who dress like that at parades, you know the stereotypical gay person or whatever. It does zero good to the image of LGBT people and it's fucking annoying always being associated with it and people assuming I'm anything like that just cause I like dick. From the people I've talked with it really seems like it's where they get their image (or a large part of it) of every gay being some 'aids ridden overly sexual paedophile freak'. It does nothing but reinforce a shitty stereotype and makes me feel as if they've done more harm than good for LGBT people as a whole.

My gay friends aren't even like the ones from the pride parade, they're just really chill. What I really don't like is when I meet someone who is gay in person or online, they assume I want to sleep with them. Like if you're straight and do that people are gonna think you're creepy/harassing people

women shouldn’t be allowed to vote

are you gonna leave us hanging or do you have some dank reasoning to go with that post

Oh god I really want to see you explain this one

I'm a little skeptical of the idea that every pride parade is filled with sex crazed lunatics. I've never been, so I can't say much. But it feels like political fearmongering. Maybe there is a problem with sexualization that pride parades deserve criticism for, but I'm still wary, not only because it's reminiscent of classic homophobic thinking that gays are all deviants and perverts, but also because it's a narrative often supported by context-less pictures made to outrage, rather than studies, interviews, and proper educated commentary.
