Mod Post Curbing some potential hate in regards to r/drawme

Thumbnail

124 Upvotes

Small announcement this time, a little while ago there was a post made by someone claiming to be banned from r/drawme for "not disclosing they're a cis white male".

As we figured out, Bum-OP was actually banned for being a creep and having a swastika tattoo. Some people however have wondered if the ruling behind the ban is actually real.

The answer is no, r/drawme does not feature a rule requiring you to disclose that you're a white cis male. The image Nazi-OP had is very likely AI generated, adding features not present in the actual Snoo, as clarified by their mod team, specifically u/Glynrick.

Additionally, Chud-OP seemingly has a history of other terrible things, such as blackface.

Anyway, this post is just here to cover our bases and curb any misinformation that could potentially spread. Thanks for being responsible guys.

Mod Post BANNED TOPIC: LESBIAN SPACE PRINCESS

Post image
5.2k Upvotes

The title really says it all, we do not need anymore posts about Lesbian Space Princess. It's exhausting to moderate the same post over and over, and none of these posts add anything new or different to a conversation, its always just a rehash of the same post just posted twenty times a day.

All posts from now on about Lesbian Space Princess will be removed. Continuous posting about it could result in a ban as per our banned topics rule.

May this addition bring peace throughout the HateThisSmug lands....

Generally, I don't like it when people impose rules on how you should enjoy something-like saying that if you didn't play the same way I did, you're a fake fan.
But it bothers me even more when those arbitrary rules are applied to a game like Minecraft—a game that actively encourages creativity and doing whatever you want-so I don't understand why anyone would get upset over something the game itself offers you.

Thing i do not enjoy the DESIGN of the 2021 pride flag

Post image
1.8k Upvotes

I feel like I'm walking on eggshells here,

I'm bisexual, love the LGTBQ, I am purely talking about the flag from a design standpoint. There is no metaphor here, no underlying implications, I'm just talking about how it LOOKS.

I really like the 2018 one, the triangle on the left works well and the color combination and visual design is very aesthetically pleasing.

The issue I have with the 2021 is the purple circle. The flag is all stripes and the circle just doesn't really work in that context. It's also too thin, the actual intersex flag has a much thicker circle, and this one has a thinner one which looks weird compared to the thick stripes. Yellow next to the white pink and blue is also not a very good color combo.

Please don't ban me guys there is no hate to any group of people here

Idea I genuinely hate this sentiment

Post image
1.7k Upvotes

People wanna act like now is the worst time to live in human history, and that the past was better and the future will be better. Like most of human history was not romantic and heroic, it was significantly more miserable, with a lack of medicine and knowledge making mortality much higher, and life much more painful. There is no guarantee the future will be better, and while it likely will be, being doomer about living in the now is so pointless and stupid. Regardless of the period, all life throughout history has and always will be filled with love, and joy, and beauty that people should revel in, instead of whining about the modern world being "bad" as a whole. I see this idea said seriously and widely agreed upon, despite thinking its complete nonsense. Do you agree with this sentiment and why/why not?

Yeah, the endless "strong dommy mommy girl that is somehow paired with a loser unremkarable, guy" starts to get annoying. It's dishonest and comes off as someone trying to insert themselves without having the decency to idealize themselves.

I wish people more people could appreciate couples where both the guy and girl are both remarkable, powerful, capable, and beautiful.

It’s genuinely so gross, I’ve seen a lot of arguments for it and while there’s some interesting philosophical elements to it, I just find posts like these to be incredibly wrong. Not only is it your daughter (who you’ve raised for her entire life creating a massive power imbalance as youve been around her for as long as she’s been alive) but I also think it’s actual borderline grooming behaviour. Dating for 6 months at 19 is already bad but who knows how long he’s “loved” her for, i genuinely think he is a pedophile or at leas t someone with a fucked up mental state who needs therapy and mental help ASAP.

Non-fictional I hate when people walk slow

Thumbnail

I think it's great you're enjoying your walk and all, but the most common place for this to happen is at school. Seriously? One of the very few places on earth where you have a deadline on walking from one spot to another, and you decide to talk a leisurely stroll in front of everyone else.

"Just go around them!" you might say. But slow walkers must release some sort of pheromone to attract other slow walkers because they create this big ass human wall across the hallway that is IMPOSSIBLE to get around. The few times I've ever been late to class are always because of people deciding to walk slow. I really don't get it.

Every time The Incredibles is on I want to reach into my screen smack these two. Like I get it, he obviously didn’t want to be saved in the moment, but you get a second chance and this is what you do? Sue the guy who saves you and whine about it? What was Mr. incredible supposed to do? Not save someone jumping off a building? And his lawyer feels like exactly the kind of scumbag who would ruin the lives of innocent people and not lose a wink of sleep over it. I think it just annoys me because legal bullshit like this happens all the time in real life.

That and they both just have really punchable faces.

Media Tropes I hate how the concept of honour and chivalry is spat upon in modern media

Thumbnail

1.0k Upvotes

There seems to be a shift in adventure stories and the like that lean away from the typical kind, strong, charismatic knight/paladin archetype to favour more brutal rogue/assassin flavoured characters that laugh at the concept of fair play or mercy. Or maybe I’m just reading too much manwha idk. Now there’s nothing inherently wrong with this, the latter can be awesome in its own right, but I dont like how they often make the former look like bumbling fools in order to prop up their respective MCs. The good guy is a dumbass for sparing the life of his enemy. He’s a naive idiot for letting his opponent have a fair fight, even if they wouldn’t do the same to him. He’s an antiquated fool who cares more for his pride than the innocent if he’s morally against torture, terror, poison and other such tactics (This obviously has nothing to do with the historical codes of honour or the lack thereof, I’m only referring to the idealised fictional version here.)

“Mercy upon the ruthless is evil to the weak” is a sentiment you often see in regards to this, as if sparing the life of someone you’ve resoundingly beaten will 100% of the time lead them back to stealing/killing instead of them turning their life around after this sudden brush with death by the hand of a person who could’ve killed them but was good-willed enough to give them a second chance. Isnt this way cooler than the other cynical view? Not to mention that I am CERTAIN that the same people supporting this notion wouldnt be okay with cops executing surrendered criminals on the street, so why is it a problem if a Samurai or Knight doesnt do it?

John Mongol is here because GOT (great game btw, play it if you haven’t already, it’s old enough to read and write) does something similar to this. They make Shimura, who in universe is a highly accomplished and respected Warlord who has won unwinnable battles against “dishonourable” foes before (the Yarikawa rebellion), seem like a bullheaded dumbass who’d punch a wall 20 times and come to the conclusion that he needs to punch harder in order to overcome it instead of just climbing over. His in-game ideals about honour dont even apply to his own troops, how do you “look your opponent in the eye” as an archer trickshotting pissants from a mountain range over? Or using fire and hornets on your foes? Im assuming his bowmen acted like actual bowmen in his battles instead of doing the CQC bow strat Yuna does, so how does he explain that away? He’s deliberately made to look like a dullard in order for the audience to more readily agree with the brutal, cutthroat tactics Jin is adopting. The mongols won because they had an obscene number advantage and knew all of the tactics the Samurai employed, not because (fictional) Samurai tradition is inherently stupid.

Meta I hate this pattern on Reddit

Post image
824 Upvotes

Why is an objectively unfunny (often unrelated to the post’s content) reaction image paired with a completely unoriginal title more likable than content that someone put time and effort into making?? Personally, my top post is asking if a stray cat is pregnant. How does that warrant THREE THOUSND UPVOTES??? I’d much rather get appreciation for my artwork or photography, which I spend a lot of time doing. This pattern also makes it laughably easy for bots to karma farm and then immediately start political spam.

Edit: this post is proving my point so well lmao

General stingray hate after Steve Irwin’s death

Thumbnail

199 Upvotes

This may not be a big deal, but it is something that truly makes me seethe with rage and I need to vent about it.

I saw a post about an orca slapping a pregnant sting ray out of the water. It was a debate again on the “morality” (??) of orcas, but the people in the comments were posting this BS.

I’m an avid animal lover so my first thought is, why are we placing human morality standards on fucking animals. Second, I grew up adoring Steve Irwin and watching animal planet all day. To hold any sort of animosity towards an entire species for acting in its nature? These people NEVER LOVED STEVE IRWIN IF THEY THINK THIS WAY. He would be rolling in his GRAVE if he found out people hate Sting rays for this reason.

It makes me so angry people use his name in vain to hate an animal when that was the exact reason he worked with animals in the first place.

People with lordosis, scoliosis, or kyphosis will understand this. Bad posture can have several negative effects on your body and overall well-being. It can cause neck, shoulder, and back pain, especially when you spend long periods sitting or looking down at a screen. Poor posture can also lead to muscle tension, headaches, reduced flexibility, and stiffness.

Thumbnail

Upvotes

What irritates me most about Iansan's design is a lack of any African inspiration that is visually noticeable, such as not having a strong red base and copper accent trim dress, along with the design being entirely based on vaguely Latin American-influenced clothing traditions, which just defeats the purpose of having a character named after a mythical figure when nothing in their design shows the original inspiration. I want to make it clear my issue is with the design is a lack of any visually inspiration rather then it not being a 1-to-1 accurate representation given Natlan is ment to be a mixed of a Latin American, African and Polynesian cultures.

Anime & Manga I hate how Death Game anime/manga are almost always terrible

For every Danganronpa, we get five King's Games. They often suffer from the same problems: they characters are painfully bland or cartoonishly psychotic. The protagonist is often a whiny pacifist who just "wants to save everybody," no matter how painfully clear it is that's impossible. The stories always try to be as edgy as possible with gratuitous gore and at least one sexual assault scene. The characters would often make idiotic decisions so that the Player Killer can survive for as long as possible. They always have some mind-numbingly stupid twist, like the game being started by a virus (King's Game), or the protagonist was the mastermind and he had amnesia (Judge). There's always some message that tries to make the story seem deep, but it's drowned out by the over-the-top gore.

Don't get me wrong, im not homophobic and i myself have lots of lgbt ocs. Those headcanons are cool but when it's the only headcanons they use it kinda feels mid.
