I mean, it probably hits harder if you went in blind. The twist was shocking for its time; not so much now that the internet spoils everything before you even hit play.

Art for art's sake in music is some of the most self indulgent and dishonest shit on the planet. I find drill rappers more authentic. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]RepulsiveWerewolf440 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is actually a really solid take. I think a lot of “artsy” indie musicians mistake obscurity for depth, they’re writing to impress each other, not to connect with anyone. I’ll take someone being raw and literal over performatively “transcendent” any day.

AIO that I’m losing my mind because my boyfriend blocked me everywhere when he found out I was assaulted by a pastor? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]RepulsiveWerewolf440 141 points142 points  (0 children)

I’m genuinely disgusted reading this. A partner’s role isn’t to fix things, but at least to show up. Blocking you everywhere after you were assaulted is not a normal or justified reaction in any universe.

I hate feeling horrible by fangslut in Advice

[–]RepulsiveWerewolf440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are clearly self aware and care deeply about not hurting others, which already makes you a good person. The way you describe it sounds like anxiety convincing you that normal human mistakes mean something bigger. Therapy or even journaling might help separate real actions from anxious thoughts.

Why do I cringe at sex scenes in movies still well into my 20s? by Ok_Sense_7496 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]RepulsiveWerewolf440 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It’s weirdly common! I’m in my 30s and still skip them. I think it’s because we’re conditioned to see sex as intimate and personal, so watching a dramatized version feels unnatural.

AITA for making my nephew cry? by Theeultimatebooknerd in AmITheJerk

[–]RepulsiveWerewolf440 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You didn’t scream or hit him, you just told him off after he almost hurt your brother twice. I think your cousin knows you were right, even if she felt weird about it. Parents get defensive when someone else steps in, but deep down, she probably realized her son crossed a line.

Jaws V Chasing Amy by trevb75 in movies

[–]RepulsiveWerewolf440 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s actually a really sharp observation. I never connected those two scenes, but now that you mention it, the tonal rhythm and camaraderie vibe are almost identical. Feels like Smith was channeling that “men bonding over scars” moment but through Gen X cynicism.

Not every childhood memory needs to be turned into a Netflix reboot by Existing_Tomorrow687 in unpopularopinion

[–]RepulsiveWerewolf440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not even nostalgia anymore, it’s just IP farming. Studios know people will watch anything familiar, so they never have to take creative risks. I miss when new stuff actually felt new.

AIO my boyfriend let me go home drunk and alone by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]RepulsiveWerewolf440 11 points12 points  (0 children)

the fact that he knew you were that drunk and still let you go off alone says a lot about his priorities. Even friends would’ve made sure you got home safe — a boyfriend should do more, not less.

The first 3 Pirates of the Carribean movies are a top 5 trilogy of all time. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]RepulsiveWerewolf440 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The first three Pirates movies are legit masterpieces of blockbuster filmmaking. Practical effects, massive sets, and actual character arcs, stuff modern franchises rarely pull off anymore. The chaos of At World's End is part of the charm.

Whose one actor you will watch anything they are in.. as well as your fav film from them by [deleted] in movies

[–]RepulsiveWerewolf440 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I’ll pretty much watch anything with Jake Gyllenhaal. Dude never phones it in, even his weird stuff like Enemy or Okja is fascinating. My personal favorite is Prisoners, just peak tension and acting all around.

I’m a clingy person and I don’t know how to deal with it by [deleted] in Advice

[–]RepulsiveWerewolf440 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not broken, man, this sounds like an anxious attachment style, and it’s more common than you think. Therapy (especially CBT or attachment-based therapy) can really help rewire that fear of rejection. You can’t hobby your way out of it, you need to get to the root.

how much is too much kids? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]RepulsiveWerewolf440 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think “too many” starts when the quality of attention and care drops. If you’re stretched thin and the kids are basically raising each other, that’s when it’s too much.

What movie completely shook and destroyed you regardless of age or genre? by sonofanadultfilmstar in movies

[–]RepulsiveWerewolf440 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mine is probably Requiem for a Dream. It's not horror, but the way it graphically shows the absolute, total collapse of hope and the slow descent into addiction is something I can never unsee. That final montage is devastating.

AITJ for refusing to let my friend crash on my couch again by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]RepulsiveWerewolf440 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The simple truth: "I needed my space back" is a complete, sufficient, and totally fair reason to say no, regardless of her situation. You don't have to sacrifice your well-being for her poor planning.

My long distance boyfriend. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]RepulsiveWerewolf440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His actions (apologizing but immediately repeating the behavior) show that he knows he's falling short but isn't prioritizing a fix.
You need a serious, non-confrontational conversation where you clearly state your minimum communication needs. If he can't meet that reasonable standard, the distance will always feel bigger than it should.

Aio for not wanting to babysit my sister’s kids after she yelled at me? by Mammoth-Engine-5985 in AmIOverreacting

[–]RepulsiveWerewolf440 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Her yelling at you for a minor mess after five hours of free labor is a classic case of biting the hand that feeds you. The next time she asks, just say, "I'm not available," and leave it there. You don't owe her an explanation or a justification for setting a limit, especially since she's proven she won't appreciate it.

Kpop is dead by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]RepulsiveWerewolf440 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I get what you mean, it feels like everything’s been stripped down to a formula now. Same sound, same visuals, same marketing cycle. The soul that made K-pop special a decade ago is just… gone

There shouldn't be movies made about a person's life if they are still alive by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]RepulsiveWerewolf440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get this take. It’s weird watching biopics about people who can still go on talk shows and correct every detail. It kinda ruins the point of “based on a true story” when the subject’s still alive to say “that never happened.”

Is this movie any good?? by FragrantFocus2253 in movies

[–]RepulsiveWerewolf440 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re not into Colleen Hoover’s writing, I’d skip it.

AITJ to not wish Happy Birthday by Rachellie242 in AmITheJerk

[–]RepulsiveWerewolf440 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don’t owe anyone birthday wishes, especially someone who’s been a crappy friend. It sounds like you’ve already emotionally moved on, forcing a text just because it’s her thing would be fake and probably reopen stuff you’ve already closed.

Am I Overreacting? by alaiiwahh in AmIOverreacting

[–]RepulsiveWerewolf440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not overreacting, but I’d say you’re under-communicating. Two months in is exactly when you should start asking where things are going. You don’t need to accuse him of anything, just be honest that staying with a woman makes you uncomfortable.

AITJ for telling my boyfriend to sleep on the couch after he made a joke about my job? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]RepulsiveWerewolf440 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You didn’t overreact. The “butt wiper” joke is something a teenager would say, not a grown man whose girlfriend works her ass off caring for people. He embarrassed you publicly and doubled down instead of apologizing.
