Internet “hate fads” that got old fast - Too much of a bad thing

[Crichax]

The hate towards certain character ships boggles my mind. Sure, the shipping community is easily one of the craziest out there, and deserves to be laughed at.

But the amount of people who hate harmless ships which would honestly be interesting to see play out in fanfictions (like Zuko X Katara) just annoys me.

I get it. The anime was a shitshow complete with behind-the-scenes drama to boot. However, the conspiracy theorists and ego-stroking hate reviews of this shit has spiraled into a lulzy movement on its own. Just accept that the first anime was a fluke in a long line of shitty media and get over it, you fucking NEETs.

What made that generation so cynical?

The obvious fact that the world was turning into what it is now.

I think we're moving away from generically hating everything as Gen X increasingly fades into obscurity. That was their thing, and look where it got them.

I'm sure Chad Kroeger doesn't care. For all the hate they get, Nickelback still tours and sells albums, which is pretty damned good for a rock band anymore.

It's like that moment with The Critic on The Simpsons.

"How do you sleep at night?"

"On top of a pile of money, with many beautiful ladies."

Are rock bands even profitable these days? Seems like rap is way too saturated these days.

Was that really so obvious circa the 90s or whenever?

Rap is more mainstream, but if you've got a legacy fanbase (and Nickelback does, if not as much as say, Metallica).

A problem with newer rock bands is actually rock fans being hipsters that accuse rock bands of selling out if anyone has heard of them.

There were a lot of autistic and downright manic ZuTara shippers on DA anf ff.net though. Athough that can be said of any ship, canon or not. People get way too into their fictional fapfests sometimes. But the haters got just as bad after awhile.

I'm curious to see how the Motley Crue/Def Leppard/Poison stadium tour pans out. The Dirt earned the Crue more young fans fawning over 35 year old pics of Nikki. The movie makes Tommy look like a giant huggable cartoon character.

It looks like Vince is losing some weight. Still on a boat to Beetus Island at this rate though. But Mick looks like a reanimated corpse. I saw the promo pics and he is so pale and fragile looking. This will probably be his last hurrah.

I don't see this doing near as well as GNR. I knew the Crue would eventually come back.

I really hate the sell out thing. Because like it or not music is the band's job and they want to be successful. If you want them all living in the drummer's mom's basement, working at a gas station and doing Stacy's pool party this weekend for beer money go fuck yourself. Because you aren't doing the and any favors with that kind of attitude.

The hate for Justin Beiber, it was cool at first, then it got old, especially after his “crazy phase”

also on that ICarly post, I was gonna mention High School Musical, but then but then I got lazy

 

[Slav Power]

There used to be hate on a Polish Youtuber called Klocuch, which used to be a kid with an annoying voice making shitty videos and everyone laughed at him. Nowadays, Klocuch is actually a grown man doing a persona of a kid, but instead makes genuinely interesting content.

I think we're moving away from generically hating everything as Gen X increasingly fades into obscurity. That was their thing, and look where it got them.

Instead we now have some bizarre chimeric cross-generational thing where 55-year olds and 20somethings are bonding over their love of sterilized mass market products that are impossible to escape thanks to corporate-sponsored cultural penetration so deep that it'd make Ron Jeremy jealous.

I'll stick with my unequivocal cynicism and hate, thanks.

EDIT: of course, I'm not sure how I neglected to mention the fact that anyone is only permitted to publicly express their affection for media so long as the creators involved are known to be in lock-step with the prevailing sociopolitical views of the moment, and if they are not leading the charge then you the consumer are some kind of monster for supporting them. It's become impossible for people to separate the work from the creator and it's the new cancer that is killing Art. Remaining anonymous and/or apolitical are the only options, and one leads almost inevitability to starvation while the other is so fine an edge to walk as to be impossible, or damn near it. There will come a time that the baying for an artist's blood will become so fierce that every film will be directed by Alan Smithee and everything will be written by a faceless committee just as the multi-hundred million dollar productions already are today. This is the future we're accepting and all it deserves is fire and salt.

I guess that's the hate fad I despise: the socially-mandated kind.

I didn’t even know that existed. Did even make a part 2??

It was sort of like "The Last Jedi" of Kemono Friends, if you know what I mean…

I honestly thought the hate Captain Marvel got when it first came out was pretty ridiculous. Yes, Brie Larson’s a bitch who runs her mouth and says callous shit all the time, but watching turbo spergs on this very forum like BoomerDenton (lol, dead) work themselves into a tizzy over how the film was going to be the death of the MCU and Western Civilisation itself was just embarrassing. Ultimately, the film was just another watchable, if forgettable MCU film, and it was kind of funny seeing everyone who said it would flop at the Box Office having to suddenly backpedal when it made over a billion.

I just thought it was funny watching the anti-SJWs REEEE just as hard for months on end as the SJWs do when somebody said something THEY didn't like

Hating (especially self-hating) on white people for building the civilizations that have supported descendants of outright weaker and dysfunctional societies is getting pretty lame

I bet 90% of them are just pissy community college drop outs pretending to be mulatto on the internet

I clicked a few random profiles and checked their "submitted" tab, and every last one of those people just seem to spend all day posting really spiteful, angry content, all sort of the samey stuff. Not a single one of 'em seems happy with their lives, they live in fear of the right-wing boogie man.

So it's distilled Reddit, basically.

I definitely feel like this is a trend that happens with a lot of media that ends up being forgettable pap ultimately (particularly large franchises like Star Wars, Marvel, DC, Game of Thrones, etc.): you have YouTubers like Geeks+Gamers and The Quartering who upload mountains of hyperbolic clickbait in order to profit off of dissatisfaction with said media (some grievances being legitimate, others not so much), and once they’ve beaten the proverbial horse into a bloody, formless pulp they move onto a different piece of media.

The negative side-effect of this model IMO is that these videos end up getting pushed to the forefront of YouTube due to the grifters knowing how to game the algorithm, and as a result of this, actually insightful videos and channels who often make thoughtful critiques of the exact same aforementioned media as well as videos covering smaller films/tv shows/games/whatever that are deserving of more attention don't get nearly as many views.

Minecraft is objectively more autistic than Fortnite

There's no autism quite like the Minecraft Community's autism.

Speaking of which, I personally got tired of Minecraft's Hatedom (although, I'm not sure how prevalent they are now-a-days because the game's resugence in popularity outside of maybe hipsters that are upset that it's no longer a niche game they can play with their friends). I never understood the jabs people make towards the game, because all I saw was a simplistic blocky sandbox. People acted like it was this bizarre creature when in reality it was just this inoffensive game that was, at worse, boring to anyone who couldn't it into it.

I'm pretty sure most of the hatred for the game was more directed at the fandom rather than game itself (not that I blame them) and some of it's hatedom also consisting of the "game played by kids bad" crowd.

Same could be said about fortnite and CoD, for the most part.

The Westboro Baptist Church. Basically everyone online shouting "I am a conformist! I accept the liberal narrative!" at like 5 guys with signs while acting like they were fighting some great powerful evil. Embarrassing.
