Re: Unpopular Opinions.

Because it depicts rape culture, incestual desires and lots of other weird stuff that our western society doesn't really do like they do in Eastern society. I liked the video game aspect and creativity of it, but wasn't really into the story lines themselves (referring to SAO 2 as well).

I really don't like TV Show called Judge Judy because that woman is always abusive with her guest in her courtroom. I don't find her funny and she's very biased with the verdict. And she been on the air for more than 20 years. I just wish that she should've been cancelled after season 1 of her show.

Here are mine:

1. Being sexually rejected is not a form of oppression.

2. There are only two genders.

I can agree with 1. But 2 is off. Even scientifically speaking there's more than 2. There's people born with XX genes but male body parts because of a fault in their genes. There's folks born XY but with female parts for the same reason. There's also that condition in that one country where girls literally become boys at puberty and grow a penis. Like, all of these things are things we couldn't have know centuries or even decades ago but we do now. And it really does explain why some people don't feel comfortable with the sex of their genitalia, because everything else about them IS the other gender.

Re: Unpopular Opinions.

Have to agree with you on that one. Don't know why it gets so much hate.

Yep I am also a huge SAO fan.

Re: Unpopular Opinions.

Unpopular amongst Hindus, my take on the beef-eating (or not) thing. Contrary to popular belief, cows are not worshiped per se, but are revered as a mother figure. She provides milk for her babies as well as for humans making cheese, yogurt, butter, and for drinking. One does not kill their mother for food. Hence the avoidance of beef-eating. Additionally, in ancient times cattle were the heavy machinery for farm and other kind of work. However, beef cattle are not gomata (mother cow), or cows at all. They are steers, young castrated males. They don't get to reproduce, they don't work, they don't produce milk, they're raised solely for their meat and hides. That makes them no different than a goat, pig, sheep, chicken or fish, which many Hindus do eat. I do occasionally eat beef, but only occasionally.

Re: Unpopular Opinions.

They say that "It's what is in your heart that matters."

I call B.S. on that for two reasons:

1. I have no idea what is in a person's heart, nor does it affect me in any way. What I do know, and what does affect me is what they say and do. So that is what matters to me.

2. I have a crude and very incomplete idea of what is in my heart, but it seems to be composed mainly of cyanide and sucrose, with some trailings of a generic soporific - essentially, toxic candy. However, I get to choose exactly how much of each I will express, and when, and where, and that defines the effect I have on others, and the person I chose to be.

Therefore, it is what one says and does that matters. The BS. about "It's what in your heart that matters" is just a cheap trick to avoid taking responsibility for what we do and say.
