Okay so basically this is a non judgmental space to drop controversial takes or opinions. I’ll go first
I think corykenshin is the most overrated youtuber oat. I’ve never been able to sit through any of his videos. Lebroski gets 19m views for playing indie slop video games with ps2 graphics, I’d be more entertained watching 2016 gamingwithkev. And i swear his fans got abandonment issues. Yall should HIGHKEY use his absence from yt to find a better Youtuber.
Okay your turn
@Tax Evaser My point is that I see many people call it selfish or bad. I don’t think it’s selfish but simply a personal choice. Like for example I was never asked if I wanted to be born so I think it’s my choice if I want to stay or not
@Astroflash i half agree with you because i find it rude and insensitive to call suicide "selfish" like someone literally killed themselves how could you call them selfish like????
People think of kind people as good people way too much and don't understand what it means to be a good person. Being kind to people who aren't bad to your knowledge is the BARE MINIMUM.
@QueenOfCats This isn't really a hot take now that I'm thinking about it…maybe warm, I don't know.
The normalization of mental health was a mistake that resulted in more harm than good.
In my experience at least, online discussion about mental health went from rare but insightful to everywhere and full of misinformation. People online would rather tell you you're fine the way you are while ignoring your pleads for advice and resources. People think it's better for you to be surrounded by yes men than have people guide you through what's right and what's wrong. People will see you venting about how harder life is and how badly you want to learn and adapt so you can live a more fulfilling life, just to reply telling you it's society's fault for not revolving around you and proceed to leave you helpless and confused about what you should do.
Telling people who have obvious problems that nothing is wrong is just going to continue make them suffer, it's not an issue with society, it's an issue with their brains. That's why it's a mental illness. With a physical illness you go to the doctor and get cured, so why with a mental illness you're supposedly just to sit there and suffer cause a group of people are out there treating your illness is instead a personality? Sure it affects your personality, sure you can say it is part of who you are, but there's still symptoms that need to be managed and possibly treated too.
Self diagnosing causes more harm than good too and it goes hand in hand with misinformation being spread around. Nothing wrong looking into things yourself, some people research deeply into this, and that's an argument people will make when defending self diagnosing, however majority of the time they're defending people who barely scratch the surface of mental health and are surrounded by community and friend groups who treat mental illnesses as labels and personalities. No you're not autistic only because you love anime and are socially awkward, no you're not ADHD only because you're extroverted and full of energy, no you don't have OCD only cause you like being neat, there's a reason doctors have to study for years to give out a diagnosis. It's very complex, more complex than a physical illness, but sadly because of this normalization, along with ignoring people who do need help, the people pushing this normalization helps big pharma in the long run. It's much easier to sell drugs to someone who doesn't understand what they're talking about and cares more about being 'different' isn't it?
It feels like everyone's collectively decided drugging kids and teenagers for, at best, acting weird, and at worst, because they were groomed online and think they're something they're not, was a actually a good thing...
Hot take: You don't need to be a parent to point out shitty parenting. Drives me absolutely bonkers when I hear "you're not a parent, you would not understand." While yes, that is valid to a point, that just doesn't excuse the fact that your kids lack decorum. I worked with kids and raised one that was not my own. They turned out super well. You're just lazy and lack accountability.
listening to the clean version of an explicit song is the equivalent of pissing your pants with your fly open
I fucking cackled. The thing that gets me is the radio versions of songs that clearly replace the lyrics with nonsense. We can swear on tv why not radio.
My hot take: Sometimes things are hard, that doesn't mean you can't deal with it.
I think a lot of this stems from being an EMT and going on so many 911 calls for things like "I threw up twice" or "go to the pharmacy and pick up my meds for me," but I'm noticing this mentality online more and more. A good example is the person that makes TikToks about getting over driving anxiety and people in their comments are going on and on about how THEY could never drive because THEIR anxiety is just too bad and the advice in the videos is good advice but THEY can't follow it. Like hey, are you aware that sometimes things suck and that's part of life? I used to have a major fear of driving, but you can't be an EMT without the ability to drive, so I SUCKED IT UP AND GOT THROUGH IT and now I'm not afraid to drive. Some people complain about their lives and how unfulfilled they are, but then refuse to do literally anything that makes them feel the smallest bit of discomfort. This goes for people who end friendships instead of having difficult conversations too (I'm definitely guilty of that one, but getting a lot better). Back to the EMT thing, YOU DO NOT NEED TO CALL 911 EVERY TIME YOU DON'T FEEL COMPLETELY FLAWLESS! BEING SICK (normally) IS NOT A LIFE-THREATENING EMERGENCY! I once had someone call 911 because they "weren't feeling great." Not feeling bad, just not absolutely amazing. Mind you, I was on a 24 hour shift and hadn't had time to sleep or eat, so I wasn't "feeling great" either...
Anyway, life is gonna be hard. Either learn that you're capable or suffer.
My hot take: IVF or surrogacy are morally wrong.
Most people just want a mini me and care too much about it being biologically theirs. If you wanted to be a parent, truly see that child as an individual, you wouldn't have any qualms about adopting. There are thousands if not hundreds of thousands of children in the foster care system, waiting and hoping to be accepted and have a home. Waiting and wondering why they were never picked. Not all of course but we've heard the horror stories of children being abused and tossed around in the system.
If you wanted a child you can adopt. If you complain that the process is too rigirous and you didn't get approved... then maybe you need to reavalute and realize you shouldn't have a kid.
Yeah... I feel like people would hate me if I ever said this out loud haha.
I doubt these are hot takes but Green Day is bad and overrated, alongside The Offspring, My Chemical Romance, The Smashing Pumpkins, linkin park and plentyyy more. Whenever i hear any of those bands on the radio I have to turn it off. I have had multiple friends get obsessed with My Chemical Romance so I have listened to all their albums, I learnt a lot of the lore but i genuinely do not enjoy any of their music and not a single song sounds good to me, not even any of their popular ones.
@FullAheadFlank yes. they suck. really hard
i dont like pasta. that shit is disgusting the majority of the time. maybe ive just had horrible pasta idk but its gross
Layne Staley > Kurt Cobain
Even without teeth on the verge of death from single-handedly consuming all the heroin in Seattle, his vocals were unmatched
@cadey You get it! Seriously, the "pink tax" is real. Women are, (maybe another hot take but oh well) encouraged (and dare I say, conditioned) to spend more and buy more while getting paid less! Why do we need to lowkey break the bank for pads? Or buy so many products just to shower "to get the best results" when men have no problem using these merged "all in one" products and have no problems? Not just cosmetics, it's many genres of products as you say. Then we don't get our money's worth and boom we buy more. It's just sad...
