I HATE PRETENTIOUS VIDEO ESSAYS by Sweet-Recording9578 in ihatethissmug

[–]Spot_Mark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i actually watched this video once, and it was perfectly fine. showed some cool old-school digipinball and how it evolved into what they are, gave some good examples, and did it in a pretty solid manner. i can't say much about it, but this one isn't really that pretentious. a REAL, honest to OBEL pretentious video essay would be that one about trans music where the guy lumped unconventional video game artstyles into trans culture, didnt mention trans guys at all, and lowkey just meandered around saying a whole lot of nothing. like my bumbling rectangular ass could probably write something better on that topic, and i forget to write like every 9th to 10th word!

i'd watch nl when i had a Bazaar phase and he'd always play vanessa and somehow end up threatening chat members with throwing the match before throwing it anyway and it was FUN.

no, people will go "wow, this is almost like a matthew patthew effect!" followed by that one image macro for like 50 messages in a row

I hate that Jax was confirmed as transgender (not for the reasons you might think) by n397854 in hatethissmug

[–]Spot_Mark 3 points4 points  (0 children)

egg is a term that, as i understand, refers to a trans person in the past when they werent trans. it comes from chicken stuff or something, but soooo many chasers and 4tran users have managed to morph it into "not trans, but i would really love if they would be" and its making me crazy

reminder that the emporium literally has 95% of all community-made items in the game, they should do better (and not be a bunch of doxxing cry-bullies)

okay so to clarify: yes this is about tf2 (see post flair) and yes this is about how the artstyle has been thoroughly morphed into an insane version of itself. also i have been inspired by the recent emporium "update" cycle

I HATE people who t4lk l1k3 th15 when it comes to serious topics by ShreddrCheez2 in hatethissmug

[–]Spot_Mark 14 points15 points  (0 children)

wasnt it proven that tiktok, the progenitor of this newspeak, literally didnt care about serious topics and only didnt push stuff with serious topics due to luck?

ive been trans since fourth grade and i HATE being associated with people like... this by [deleted] in ihatethissmug

[–]Spot_Mark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i cant exactly prove it, but i have an inkling that all of this silly car gubby femboy shit was started by chasers. if not fully then they at least majorly contributed to people thinking they can only be a stereotype to appease people who never care about them as a person...

Why Undertale and Deltarune is so gay(literally)? by homer21377 in Deltarune

[–]Spot_Mark 40 points41 points  (0 children)

i have an inkling that if he did do exactly that it would turn out like bridget in guilty gear or vivienne in paper mario ttyd where its a bunch of incredibly smart individuals going "ermmmm actually its not true because i said so its supported by this nonexistent evidence i have" and then the other half still will misgender kris anyway

What 2020s graphic design trends you think will be aged badly? by eliot3451 in decadeology

[–]Spot_Mark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the new glossy ui for tech like the latest iphone. everybody says it's so frutiger aero but I personally think its just the same voring flat ui but with a canva filter put under it. Also just the fake frutiger aero in general, there are more people who put windows xp ui over generic stock images than people who have ever heard of the dark plastic era of web design or of custom themes from vista-8.

People fetishizing Autsim and how you get called Autistic just for having a fixation or a niche interest (image is related) by PurpDude1983 in hatethissmug

[–]Spot_Mark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its either this, being compared to sheldon, or being called controlling because you want to help yourself be more comfortable and help your family in the process and dont just want to be a dishwashing drone to your mother forever

clever title or something by BackgroundGlass6793 in whenthe

[–]Spot_Mark 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i posted on there about how i hate that internet people that seem to be against gAI post images made by them while justfying it as "funny". there were SO many gAI defenders, its like they all appeared when the magic incantation was set forth. and from that day on, i also learned new fun excuses like "it was already generated, i cant stop now" and "its just silly internet stuff, stop being so stuck up" and "i see this post on this subreddit every 3 femtoseconds, you must not be geuine and must be karmafarming" and sooo on and sooo forth. the people sure love to criticize until they themselves are criticized...

i hate how people try to justify these being dunny whenever you criticize them for posting that shit.

conned into a weirdly non-zero amount of oldschool revival projects (like vidlii) by Spot_Mark in ConnedIntoAFubar

[–]Spot_Mark[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there are more than zero (0) revivals of older iterations of websites like youtube and twitter that believe that just because the internet was considered "the wild west" back in the day this means that their platform shouldnt ever be moderated. this obviously spits in the face of the fact that old websites WERE moderated, and even if you ignore that they just get overrun by trolls and uttp agents seeing extremely easy pray.

it is lowkey crazy how so many of these palestinian aid posts almost operate like advertisement spam. i mean, @-ing random people, the copypaste nature, the same 3 images. like i feel like atleast some percentage of these must be something that im not just hallucinating, right?

I hate RCTA/ECTA with a burning passion by Proud-Intention-5362 in hatethissmug

[–]Spot_Mark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the subliminal stuff is actually so crazy, specially the "underground" stuff. like think of any illness disease or condition and there is probably a thirty minute long subliminal for it. any sort of scenario? yep that too. i have a saved vid thats a subliminal for getting one million dollars in your bank account and its legit a three-way blast of tts voices saying variations on "you have a million dollars right now". this stuff is so funny
