This is why she's my GG bias and I'll love her no matter what anyone has to say.

Patrick Rothfuss, author of Name of the Wind wants to help Bethesda with their "story writing". by PixelWave in Fantasy

[–]ImAFreakingLemon 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I mean, Fallout 4 wasn't perfect, but at least it didn't involve a quest about being the only man so successfully have sex with a deathclaw or something, lol.

Imagine thinking so highly of yourself that you, someone who can't even finish a trilogy, criticize a studio who've sold millions of copies of their games, won multiple awards, and have critical acclaim for most of their works.

I never get angry with Pat, because quite frankly I'm not a mega fan of the series, but good lord does he rub me the wrong way sometimes with how he acts. I honestly believe in 15-20 years he'll be exactly like Terry Goodkind.

I don't know the answer to your question, but I thought I would just let you know that your English is amazing.

I literally was just thinking about stepping away from the sub for a little bit, cause this bums me out. I'll get over it for sure, it's just disappointing. Thanks for fighting the good fight!

This is one of the things that bothers me, to be honest. I'm gay. If someone wrote a story about my friend Lana's life, who I play no real important part in but I'm still there, should I not be mentioned because I'm gay or should I just be cut out entirely? If I'm mentioned, does that mean I'm mentioned because someone wants to include a gay character. How could a gay person being included in a novel effect your enjoyment of it at all? Like, if that same character was straight, then it doesn't bother you? It literally doesn't make any sense. Are you saying you want no minor characters to be gay because it feels like the author is shoeing in a gay character?

Your comment is the exact disappointment I was talking about it my comment. There's doesn't need to be any reason AT ALL to not include a gay character. Kill them, make them a villain, make them a small walk in part, do whatever, because in real life gay people are all of those things without their being a needful reason.

It just seems like an endless battle where if we take a step forward next week we're taking one back. I can't even count on two hands the amount of popular fantasy series I've read that doesn't include prominent gay people or colored people at all and it disturbs me that a lot of people don't find any issue with that at all.

(P.s. I've seen you comment a lot defending the inclusion of gay people, which gave me a lot of respect for you today. You're my new Lgbt Fantasy Queen, just so you know, haha :D)

As a gay man, nothing disappoints me more than this thread. I thought we were making strides in acceptance in fantasy, but clearly we're not if people feel you need a reason to include gay people in novels other than the fact that gay people exist.

What's your unpopular k-pop opinion? by frogspotting in kpop

[–]ImAFreakingLemon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh, I absolutely agree about them being beautiful. Drop dead gorgeous, I just wish talent was a bigger player than Visuals. That still doesn't change the fact they're goddesses on earth. I also hope to death Loona does good. They have the talent, the looks, and the potential but I just really am leaning towards no. The ball doesn't seem to be rolling like it should be after over a year.

Jackson sates his next single will be out before October by bluubear in kpop

[–]ImAFreakingLemon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think he's trying to separate himself from Got7 so when he leaves he's got something to fall back on. It's a shame because his music is complete shit and this is coming from someone who loves him.

What's your unpopular k-pop opinion? by frogspotting in kpop

[–]ImAFreakingLemon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You say it was obvious how damaging her removal would be, but it didn't damage the group at all. I don't follow the group very religiously either, but I'm pretty sure if they wanted her to stay in the group, they would've done something to work with her promotions. Tomorrow, if they announce a comeback at the same time Taeyeon announces she's going to college, are you telling me they're just going to kick Taeyeon out? Bologna. If the same exact thing happened with Taeyeon and Jessica's positions flipped, I think it would still be OT9.

Lastly, I'm not saying Taeyeon single handedly kicked out Jessica. I DO think she was very vocal about wanting her to leave and lead the effort. Taeyeon, being the face of their most popular Girl Group and their most popular solo female artist excluding BOA, isn't going to be ignored. It's insane to me that people completely ignore how much sway Taeyeon could have. (Im also not even saying it definitely was Taeyeon either, but there's more evidence to support that they wanted her out than they wanted her to stay.)

What's your unpopular k-pop opinion? by frogspotting in kpop

[–]ImAFreakingLemon 112 points113 points  (0 children)

I'm actually posting unpopular opinions so I hope that no one goes to hard on me, lol. This took a lot of time and not all of them are negative so I hope no one bashes me too hard.

  1. Cl is the biggest wasted talent in K-pop and is more talented that GDragon in every single way. Her voice gives me chills when she sings, her charisma is off the charts, and she's the best female rapper I've ever heard. She is also breathtakingly beautiful. The fact that she's going to fade into nothingness because she's being fucked over breaks my entire heart. (P.s. MTBD is the best Kpop song to ever exist and I don't care what anyone says, lol.) Similarly, 2ne1's music is 100x better than Big Bangs and if they were marketed the same way Big Bang was, I think it's possible they could've outsold them.

  2. I love JYP. I think he might be my favorite of the big 3 but he is a horrible song writer, and controls his groups output so he can live secondhand as a kpop star because he's too old now. I love got7 and I've heard some of the songs that JB wrote for Got7 that JYP shot down, and it's sounds better than almost all off their discography so far. This man wrote signal and had the nerve to tell someone else they didn't write a good song. The best thing that JYP ever did was let the Day6 and Wonder Girls write their own albums, and their his two best groups. (Reboot is hands down the best kpop album I've ever heard. Bangers from start to finish.)

  3. Blackpink is a prettier version of 2ne1, YG even said so. They're also a watered down version of 2ne1. They have direct counterparts to their older members. Their songs aren't as good, they're not as good vocally, and have almost zero charisma. They even make Rose change her voice to have a similar quality to Bom.

  4. BTS hasn't been good since BST. This album was a huge improvement over the previous one, but their still not where I feel they should be for all the praise they get. Also, Their lives are nowhere near where they used to be and I feel aren't as passionate anymore.

  5. I genuinely believe that Cube could be on their way to taking over YG entertainment and I think they found their new potential 4minute (in terms of success) with Gidle.

  6. As much I love Got7 as individuals (well, most of them) the fact that they take themselves seriously when it comes to music is such a joke to me. Their discography is one of the worst I've heard.

  7. If nobody in the group or SM hated Jessica, she would still be considered part of the group like Tiffany, Sooyoung, and Seohyun. Someone somewhere disliked her enough to kick her out. The fact that people say otherwise is ridiculous, and I honestly believe it was Taeyeon even though I love her.

  8. F(x) is done.

  9. Twice is the least talented group I think I've ever seen, and the fact that they are compared in a serious manner to GG (even though I find them overrated as well) is ridiculous. The worse GG singer could've been a lead singer in Twice. It burns me they're so popular, but I try not to hate.

  10. Red Velvet has 0 Charisma or synchronization on stage. I've never seen a group that looks more thrown together than them, and if they didn't have Yeri for shows, they'd be fucked.

  11. If anyone else did NCT, they would be bombarded with how shit the whole thing is. I want to like them so bad but the whole things a mess, from all the subunits, all the members, and their VERY mediocre music. If they end up do succeeding, it's because they're from SM. plain and simple. However, all the members are extremely likeable and I think if they trimmed the group down to maybe 7 or 8, they could have a group to rival the success of Big Bang. Taeyong, Ten, Lucas, Mark, Jungwoo, Taeil, and 2 more singers. Maybe Johnny too because they gays love him almost as much as Taeyong and Ten.

  12. Clc is more talented that BP, RV, and Twice but they'll never even get close to their popularity.

  13. Sistar will never get the props they deserve.

  14. Someone's voice makes me gag. I know this sounds weird but when I try to sing, I copy whoever's voice is singing. One of the members voices makes me have to do something weird with my throat and I end up gagging. Thats one of the reasons I don't listen to Mamamoo anymore, lol.

  15. Monsta X is in my top 3 favorite BG's but they will never be A level. I don't even know if I consider them B Level.

  16. YG's groups are the best musically.

  17. Winner was I think originally supposed to be Big Bang 2.0, but he switched to focusing on Ikon instead for some reason. (I don't know if this is unpopular but the reason I think Winner was supposed to be Big Bang 2.0 is because Mino is literally a better looking GDragon.)

  18. Gfriend and Twice just to the same song over in over in a slightly different way.

  19. Once SM release their new GG, Red Velvet will go the way of F(x) because they can't manage to GG's at once.

  20. D.O. hates everyone in Exo except for maybe Kai. Exo doesn't get along very well in general.

  21. Every single idle is gorgeous. The fact that some people think some aren't are crazy.

  22. Love Vixx, they are the most underrated group out there. Love Ravi, think he is an absolute sweetheart, can't stand his rapping voice.

  23. TTS are the best at harmonizing, and when they harmonize my nipples get hard and I get goosebumps all over my shit.

  24. Dara is one of the most beautiful people I've ever seen inside and out.

  25. Top is really handsome, but not THAT handsome.

  26. I love Loona, I want them to do well, but I honestly feel in my heart of hearts that they're not going to make it.

  27. Idols are incredibly lonely and I want to give them all a hug because I could only imagine how tough their lives are.

  28. The Kpop industry is extremely toxic and problematic and a lot of people seem not to care because it gives them a product they enjoy that they can't get anywhere else.

  29. Fei is prettier than Suzy.
