The Unpopular Opinions Thread (Read OP)

Recommended Posts

Blackpink seems to be going through what Red Velvet went through during period of Power Up-RBB-Zimzalabim in that everybody (mainly international fans) just couldn't agree on their songs and you know what, speaking as a Reveluv especially, I am here for it. I will always salute artists who aren't afraid to be polarizing, the best pop stars are.

And I don't care what anybody says, they redeemed themselves from any previous mediocrity with this album. Cardi may work my freaking nerves but Bet U Wanna is a bop.

I'm getting so sick of weebs who have this mentality that "Japanese = better". Like it's a no contest thing. That opinions can't possibly exist :derp:

I started playing Genshin Impact lately and you can't watch a single video of the game being played with spoken dialogue without someone questioning why an English speaking person using the English speaking audio isn't playing the game in Japanese because the "English is CANCEROUS" and the "Japanese one is THE ONLY good version".

They are so far up their weeb assholes that they're referring to the Japanese version as the "Sub" even though Genshin Impact is a Chinese game. :derp: The Chinese version, for all purposes, is the original, while everything else is the dub. Yet they still act like the English, Chinese, and Korean dubs are all just inferior versions of the Japanese one. Despite the fact that the Japanese IS also a dub.

Sidenote, really irks me that they think "Sub" is just a synonym for "Japanese" when it just means subtitled. :donthinkso: The whole game is subtitled regardless of language. And even in the context of it meaning "original", it still isn't because the game is Chinese :derp: I have seen people actually have the audacity to look at something in all 4 languages and say that the Chinese one is "less-fitting" or "mistranslated and missing the impact" of the Japanese version. The ORIGINAL VERSION is less fitting to the people who always shit on English dubs for not being as good as the original. :derp:

This isn't about just happening to prefer the Japanese version. Because there's nothing wrong with that. This is Sub Elitism that is STILL somehow a thing. There's nothing wrong with any of the other versions of the game :wth: And the Japanese itself isn't that special. It's good, but it's not somehow leagues better than the others. They're all pretty much the same for me. This is just 100% weebism blinding people to think anything that isn't Japanese is horrible without ever actually hearing it. You can have a Japanese dub that is completely average and still have people praising it like it's some masterpiece.

It's just annoying this is still a thing in 2020. Bad English dubs are largely a thing of the 90s in terms of Anime and early 2000s for games. Very rarely are you, within the last 10 years, going to find a TRULY horrible English dub. I mean, unarguably bad.

TL;DR, A Japanese version of something existing is not automatically on some pedestal just for being Japanese.

Bigbang were never revolutionary with their music. With that being said kpop has literally always had western influences, honestly I'd argue that the recent groups are more "experimental and unique" compared to 2nd gen and this is coming from a 2nd gen stan

After watching "I can't stop me" MV a lot, i appreciate BP MVs a lot more because BP MVs also use A LOT of sets like ICSM MV, but they all look like they belong to the same MV, meanwhile ICSM MV looks like they mix 359035 MVs together.

Most of the stuff said here aren't even unpopular opinions but just casual stuff, lets be real if anyone actually post a real real unpopular opinion here it will be negged to oblivion.
(this is a general observation and what i said is certainly not unpopular opinion but it suits this thread lmao)

anyways good read
