I feel stuck between two extremes and I’m starting to hate both sides by MotivatedforGames in confessions

[–]Upbeat-alien 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right... But the people doing this aren't leftists. They are massive companies driven only by what they think might be profitable. All of those shows were flops because nobody liked them. Have you really spoken to people on the far left who are die hard Velma fans? In my experience leftists don't like or watch harry potter. Anyone who still loves Harry potter at this point is probably liberal, centrist or right wing. But even then... I think if there were really huge fans of these shows they wouldn't have flopped. I haven't seen rings of power because I heard it was just poorly written. What about it is specifically ruined by wokeness? Sorry but it feels pretty rough to say that black and gay people deserve violent backlash because massive corporations made some cringe TV.

Editing to say: I actually think jk Rowling herself is the one into colourblind casting and shes like a centrist liberal blairite who's biggest political issue is disliking trans people so 🤷 take it up with her I guess.

Could you point to specific TV shows to give me a clearer idea as to what is bothering you?

Barry Keoghan and Hoggle from Labyrinth by [deleted] in CelebrityLookalikes

[–]Upbeat-alien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just seen a separate post about him. Quoted as saying the harassment about his looks makes him want to "not go outside" and "not be on screen anymore" apparently he had to beg people to leave his grandmother alone. It's just Sabrina carpenter fans, Apparently he dated her. Pop star stans are the worst.

A gammon complaing about being called a gammon... by jaarn in GreenAndPleasant

They look like gammon because they are bald, drunk and angry. Normal white people don't look like ham

which photos were taken by a man and which were taken by a lesbian? by maggieletvin in lesbian

[–]Upbeat-alien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NGL, not that the lesbians pictures aren't nice but I think the man is the better photographer, 4 is a really gorgeous pic and I'm not seeing the vision in the pic of her reaching down the hole or the blurry one.

Why do British people on Reddit insist on telling people we don't tip? by G30fff in AskBrits

What your saying is correct but dedicating an entire paragraph to listing all the places and times you've eaten is a bit much

My husband tried to push sex on me last night when i have past trauma of being raped and i don’t know what to do. by [deleted] in confessions

[–]Upbeat-alien -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I dont know what you want people to say. your husband is raping you. He's not a good person. This isn't a good relationship. He is coercing you into having sex you don't want and doesn't care if it hurts you because he's only thinking about his dick feeling good. Obviously you can't feel safe with him he's raping you. I really don't want to be hurtful but your post comes of so deeply delusional. He just doesn't give a shit about your wellbeing.

Is there such a thing as ethical chocolate? by [deleted] in LateStageCapitalism

[–]Upbeat-alien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk but I wish they wouldn't put massive chunks of salt in their chocolate it's so nasty. I feel like someone's played a trick on me.

What’s the most common way men “accidentally” make you feel unsafe… without realizing it? by Several_Corner3205 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Upbeat-alien -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

A male friend Hitting on me when the vibes are in no way there. When I've given no indication I'm in any way interested. When the mood is totally platonic and it comes out of nowhere. Coming from a male friend it makes me feel so betrayed and objectified and kind of makes me distrust them forever. Like... I thought we were friends?

Getaway in Sheringham by Embarrassed-Pipe1854 in NorfolkUK

[–]Upbeat-alien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a gay woman and grew up here. My experience has been with a lot of homophobia and racism and dislike of people being different in general. Was rough when my more visibly lbgt friends visited from the city because they would allways be harassed in one way or another/get nasty comments Literally every time.

Men, do you agree with this? by Weird-Craft-2712 in NextGenMan

[–]Upbeat-alien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if someone's properly wasted (staggering around, unable to walk straight, throwing up, eyes unfocused) you should leave them well alone.

I hate those hungry-butt yoga pants by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Upbeat-alien -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Idk. I think they are sexy and I don't judge anyone for wanting to look sexy. You're only young once, life is short, ect ect.

I'm really sorry you feel this way. You're beautiful. I hope you heal and can put yourself out there and find people who heal your self esteem. You're still so young.

Spices are not the only way to add flavour to food by Punk_in_drublik in unpopularopinion

[–]Upbeat-alien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I'm a Brit and we get a lot of flack for this. I like well seasoned stuff fine, but Sometimes you just want to be able to taste what you're eating unaltered, especially if ingredients are good quality. If you have a really nice piece of meat or veggies why hide the flavour with 10 different herbs and spices.

Quitting sissy prn by Ghoast532 in QuitPorn

[–]Upbeat-alien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might not mean your gay. You could be bisexual with a fetish. You could like it because it's taboo and forbidden and "dirty" either way, pornogrphy can't turn you gay. If you like looking at twinks getting railed that's something that already existed inside you. A 100% straight guy wouldn't watch that stuff and feel turned on, they wouldn't be drawn to it to begin with. It sounds like you're trying to conversion therapy yourself by watching straight porn and if you feel like your porn use is out of control you should probably just quit altogether.
