Unpopular opinions! V2: I Don't like half life edition.

This came up in a discussion with a few friends, and I was surprised to find that it was unpopular amongst them. I'm curious as to what you all think.
I think that, most of the time (because there will always be exceptions to a rule, blah blah), nasal voices sound terrible. I'm not even just referring to the stereotypical pasty nerd nasal voice that comes entirely out of the nose. I really, really don't like how nasal voices sound in general.

your friends seem like the odd ones out everyone i know thinks nasally voices are crap.
it's not even that i don't like the way they sound it's just when someone with a nasally voice is talking you can hear it over everything else going on at that very moment

Ah yes, one of the only three times that the taste of an alcoholic product alone made me eject the contents of my stomach. Fun times.
Honestly for what it is I think jd honey is good. Probably too sweet tho.
there is literally nothing wrong with twerking

95% of the characters in Roland Emmerich's "Giant Purple Iguana" in 1998 had nasally voices.
Goddamn.

How would it be distastefully done then?
Twerking is today's equivalent of the dances people now romantacize from the past (which were, during their inception, considered too raunchy and inappropriate): dances like the twist, jailhouse rock dancing, swing, lambada, any kind of caribbean/hispanic dances (like salsa, bachata, merengue, any kind of latin dancing that involves close physical contact) and many others.
Twerking is all about ass shaking, anyone with a decent hip can do that, pretty sure those other styles have actual need of skill to practice, like you know, footwork
[editline]12th December 2014[/editline]
It's just a vulgar dance move, there's nothing special to it, calling it the equivalent to salsa and shit is dumb

It's not just ass shaking though (unless all you did was watch a single woman shake her butt and nothing else), and saying that would be the same as me saying salsa is nothing but rubbing your crotch against your partners ass. When someone performing any one of those dances really knows what they're doing, and you pay attention to it, it requires all kinds of finesse, leg and foot work, flexing muscle and toning muscle in order to actually perform certain dances, moves, etc. All of these dances have things in common, they're related to sex and sexual urges, and attracting a partner. [b]ALL[/b] of these dances could easily be boiled down to just that, touching privates or shaking your butt, or jiggling your leg fat a certain way. Get off of your high horse before you fall off and break your neck.

lmao calm down just because I called your erotic move dumb
"get off your high horse while I ride mine"
seriously though, comparing Twerking, which is literally and just ass shaking, to actual dancing is fucking retarded
[editline]12th December 2014[/editline]
No one with a good dance group would even implement "twerking" into a decent choreography

lmaooo it IS an actual dance though, related very much to [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mapouka]mapouka[/url] and [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kwassa_kwassa]kwassa kwassa[/url]. So yeah, again, get off your high horse. All of these dances, again, no matter how much you simplify them or complicate your explanation of them, can easily be boiled down to butt shaking or privates touching.

I didn't say twerking wasn't a dance move, I said it was a vulgar dance move
If you actually know something about dance, downplaying it into a sex show is rather naive.

Please show videos of the best dance crews around that implement twerking into their routines?
not just one btw, you'd probably need a lot to make a point, just like in anything ever
Lambada, salsa, the swing, etc, were also considered vulgar. But we romantacize them now as if they were adored by all back in the 40s, 50s, and so on.

[i]That's exactly what dancing is[/i], do you not understand? Showing off your moves in order to attract a partner, which countless animal species (including our own) have been doing since we could physically do anything.

Dancing has can be done competitively, for fun, to raise awareness, for entertainment, to attract a mate, and many other things.

Why do you think people like other people that know how to dance? Why do many people like to dance with their partner? Because it's attractive, and because it's in our genes to be attractive to someone with good dance moves.
what is form of expression, art and entertainment

Video games are art, and that's including Call of Duty, Gears of War, and Battlefield.

Now, all these things are absolute shit on a sandwich but they are all still art. Not just technically, they [I]are[/I] art. Perhaps instead of requiring something to have some unspoken, invisible, pretentious/elitist quality to be 'real' art, we should accept that bad art exists. Really, really, really fucking bad art.
I liked the Battle: Los Angeles film, even though I felt that the ending sucked.

it's just that ass is great, you know?
boobs are better
fite me fags
