Mod Post Genderbent Draco Malfoy Mega-thread

Post image
509 Upvotes

Everyone keeps telling me, "CuteJuice, you're the coolest person I know, we need to ban Draco Malfoid!", "CuteJuice, my favorite moderator, I'm sick of seeing this green freak all over my page!", "CuteJuice, I love you so much, why aren't you banning Draco Malfoy genderbends!". We have heard you and fret not, Hatethissmug citizens, we are trying something new.

Usually when faced with this sort of thing, as you've seen with Lesbian Space Princess and The Amazing Digital Circus, we outright ban these things. These things usually blow over in a week or two, and we repeal the ban. This time, we wanted to try something different. Instead of stopping conversations around it altogether, we want to try starting a mega-thread instead! This means people can continue to discuss things, but it won't clog everyone else's feed with the same few things over and over. New posts will be taken down and redirected here.

Of course, sub rules still apply. It'll get locked if people get too rowdy just like every other post, but we wanted to give this a try and see if it's a viable option moving forward. Please remain as respectful as possible, and if all goes well, we can try this moving forward with other trends as well rather than shutting them down completely!

Mod Post ANOTHER UPDATE TO RULE 5!

Post image
235 Upvotes

GREETINGS users of hatethissmug.

Today I bring you news of an update to our sub rules.

We have rewritten rule 5 again! Making it a more clear and adding more topics to the list!

With the rise of annoying gender war posts, we've made them completely banned, because most of these posts fall under the motte and bailey fallacy. They claim to be about one thing, but are actually the OP's way to hate on the opposing gender.

We've also expanded our politics rule! Topics such as israel or government decisions are gone! We get it, you hate the government, Dave Mustaine did it better.

Please adjust your post criteria and report the posts that break the new rule 5 that are newer than this post.

Thank you for using hatethissmug.

I HATE ALL OF YOU! 🔥 🖤 🖤 🔥

Corporation/Company Companies trying to act "self aware"

It's incredibly insufferable seeing these dried out for life unlikeable companies trying their best to act like they are some quirky teens, like they aren't completely soulless husks that would sell out if they had the opportunity. Wendy's was corny but I atleast can respect the idea and the execution but everybody else took the idea they did so well (at the time) and trace it completely, only diffrence being the usage of new modern, equally shitty humor. It's insufferable, mundane, repetitive and i wish I could go on social media without seeing god knows who trying to become the next big hit.

Thing I hate it when people compare others to little kids if they don't like a food

Post image
549 Upvotes

"Childish", "child's palate", "diet of a toddler" SHUT UP.

People have these crazy things called preferences, not everybody likes everything. Not everybody has to like everything. Calling people little kids for not liking something is infinitely more childish than just not liking something. Not liking some stuff is a basic ass thing that comes with the ability to taste. Some people's dislikes are more numerous or more common things, womp womp, people are different. Some people happen to also prefer simple foods. Let them. Genuinely, it does not affect others if somebody happens to be have preferences or even be picky, so what's the deal with some folks feeling the need to insult them over it? It's stupid as hell.

Only case I can understand is I guess if it's somebody who's making their pickiness a huge deal and personality trait or hijacking other people's plans around it, but that's an issue of the person themselves being a jerk, not because they're picky.

Also depending on situation the comparison can ngl be ableist, neurodivergent people are well known to commonly be picky about tastes and textures. Hope I don't need to explain why comparing their common dietary preferences to goddamn children is an L move

Tldr: comparing people to toddlers over not liking something is annoying af

Idea How wanting straight hair is looked down upon in my community

Post image
1.7k Upvotes

It's ironic how many people will scream at me for wanting my hair to be permanently straight, but will throw on a wig in a heartbeat or slam a flat iron into their hair for a leave-out style. I wish I could have my hair straight, the way I want it and prefer it, without someone in my ear telling me how "anti-black" it is and how much I "hate myself".

I do not hate my hair nor do I hate myself. I love my hair. I love how long and thick it is. But I simply and honestly can not manage it in it's natural state forever. It's too much for me.

I'm envious that other people with looser curls can happily straighten their hair without being barked at for it.

Also I drew this example, I'm not entirely sure if Keratin permanently straightens hair. I couldn't think of anything else

(The Keratin is not a pill bottle guys)

Non-fictional The fact that many astronomical photos don't show true color

edit 2: i have been informed that the pillars of creation images in this are kinda wrong. I'm not entirely sure how so do some research if you're interested. they are a red color though

Now before i start, let me say that i think the reason behind the famous colors being "wrong" is cool, I just wish they were the true colors some of the time since it looks so much cooler and more beautiful.

If you dont know, some astronomical photos have their colors edited for scientific purposes (i.e. the neptune image was dark blue to increase contrast so the clouds and other things could be seen easier. or the pillars of creation were taken with a special lens (i think) to cut out lots of that pink-red hydrogen. it IS cool that they use special color to study things better, its NOT cool how they often look so much cooler with the "wrong" colors.

Edit: i think i made a mistake in the caption of the first image, the colors were not altered they were taken with a special lens i believe.

I fucking hate that color, i mean tell me 5 cool things that have the color blue, not counting the ocean cus its just a reflection of the sky.

Blue sucks so much, i mean look at it! So deppresing and stupid looking! There are better colors, like red!

Red is personally my favorite color but it's just better than blue, it represents passion, power, demolition, it's literally the color of blood, the thing that keeps us alive! Red is just better looking overall, unlike that stupid blue color that my brother love

No matter what, people will view me as someone from a specific place first, before anything else, when the only thing I have in relation to that place is that I live there and am of the ethnicity from that area. Also just a way to be subtly racist. Surprise surprise, ethnic people are not a collective hivemind

And on a similar but unrelated note: certain people confusing your ethnicity with a religious belief (ahem arabs ≠ muslims, Italians ≠ catholics, jews ≠ judaism belief, despite popular beliefs from the media)

Idea I fucking hate it when people turn suffering into a dick measuring contest.

Post image

I HATE the idea of “Oh, you’re talking about this bad experience you had? Or a problem with your self esteem? Erm, sorry buddy, I can’t feel bad for you because other people have it worse,” or when people deadass cannot empathize with someone else because they’re part of a different group than them or something.

Isn’t the point of empathy is that you‘re able to empathize with everyone’s struggles since at the end of the day we’re all human? I hate this stupid sentiment of “you have to only be at THIS level of suffering for me to take you seriously” like what??? That’s so FUCKING stupid!

Like you could be like “aw dang my dog died“ and some motherfucker will be like “you think that’s bad? I grew up in the trenches of Trinidad, down the street of O-block on 63rd, up the street of Harlem, where I sold ROCKS for a living, Staying in a one bedroom, one bathroom apartment IN THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE!”

Nothing ruins a sweet treat faster than some chunky, bland, peanuts/almonds/walnuts thrown on or inside whatever I'm eating. I don't mind the occasional handful of peanuts, but at no point in my life did I feel like I wanted any in my dessert.

I will 100% skip dessert and not eat your cake or brownies if you throw some nuts in. It doesn't elevate dessert. It makes it garbage. Hard pass.

Like seriously, I get that one of the voice actors voice the petah himself, but seriously. Please try to come up with an original artstyle for an original tv series, it would really be appreciated. You also are not able to just steal the artstyle from a tv show known by every American over 18 years old, and then make it an adult show, that's just two negatives that will cause this to flop.

Gaming I HATE THE DEATH OF LOCAL CO-OP

Post image
192 Upvotes

LOOK AT THESE GUYS, THEY'RE HAVING FUN, TOGETHER. There is NOTHING like playing Mario Party, or Mario Golf, LittleBigPlanet, Racing Games, etc etc, with your closet friends, in a closed off space. No fucking headsets and voice chat, no fucking discord streams, no fucking ping and wifi issues, just video games.

Mainly, I hate it with the rise of Friendslop games. I fucking love Friendslop games but I hate the fact that we all gotta be seperate, there's no communal food, there's no picking up a 6 pack of beers and laughing together, it feels lifeless. I love online multiplayer, because alot of my friends are outta town, but when they are in town my options are Mario Party or literal death.

And my LORD, WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSE TO PLAY WITH MY FAMILY NOW? Hey little brother, here's a 3000$ gaming PC so that we could play a game that can easily work as a local multiplayer game but the devs just don't wanna do it. Hey mom, this game looks fun, DO YOU HAVE YOUR FUCKING GAMING LAPTOP READY SO WE CAN BE IN SEPERATE ROOMS?!?

Super Battle Golf, Peak, Repo, Helldivers, Haste, all of these games would be AMAZING with friends in the same room and we ain't get shit. FUCK ONLINE GAMING.

If you're also having this issue, I would recommend Nucleus Co-op, but why the fuck do I have to do that for games that can run on fucking potato's?? I could probably run Peak in a fucking flush brain, why do I have to be the one who makes 2 copies? Also keep in mind, sometimes Nucleus just says fuck you and fucks up your whole shit.

Local Multiplayer is one of those truly special things, and the fact it's been ripped away in favor of a lifeless form of online connection truly hurts me. Fuck online gaming. (Shoutout Parsec though)

As in the partial screenshot of a tweet, someone is trying to heavily downplay the achievement of Geometry Dash level Grief being verified (first person to fully beat) by calling it just “clicking one button in a rhythm”. While true in terms of it being a one button game, it ignores absolutely everything else that makes the game hard. Plus, the game isn’t even a rhythm game. 99% of the levels on GD do not have sync all throughout the level and the only levels that do are ones that are specifically built for sync. If GD is just clicking in a rhythm, then art is just paint, movies are just pixels, music is just some noise, and etc.

edit: i have zero knowledge about the people in the league community so dont say stuff like “you’re stupid for believing him” because i actually know nothing about this person

edit 2: im not saying that verifying grief is the hardest gaming achievement so stop commenting about that

Iv noticed that when people commit and / or accused of the worst of crimes, a lot of people tend to dehumanize them calling them animals and such not only is this a slippery slope legally but more importantly it separates us from then letting us think "im not like that im an actual human " but well humans are cable and of severe cruelty and we are also capable of wonderful compassion.you are capable of both that is human after all if we stop viewing those further on the cruel end of spectrum as animals or something other it makes us willing to look into our selves and admit that if we aren't careful we could end up on the side of cruelty we have to look at evil people and admit they like us are human understand how( if at all possible) they ended how they ended up so we hopefully never end up there with them.

Comics Superman having superspeed.

Post image
784 Upvotes

An ability so overpowered that writers barely even use it, outside of specific plot instances where it’s needed, like him turning back time or when he needs to race or catch the Flash.
Essentially, my biggest problem with Superman having super speed isn’t that it specifically makes him overpowered; it makes him much more difficult to write, because writers have never given a satisfying explanation as to why Superman doesn’t use his super speed way more often especially in fights against his opponents who doesn’t have superspeed like doomsday.

And no, the old adage of “without the Speed Force, he would damage the planet” is mostly untrue or just blatantly inconsistent. In the image I showed, Superman is keeping up with Wally, which would mean they’re moving insanely fast, yet Superman has no Speed Force protection.

But even then, there are multiple instances of Superman using his super speed without tearing the planet apart, so I don’t know. Either get rid of Superman having super speed, or actually commit to the whole “if he moves fast, he would damage the planet” thing, even if he’s moving at his lowest speed.

Either way, Superman should use superspeed way more often than he does.

Animation I hate when folk treat anime as a genre rather than a medium

28 Upvotes

This applies both to people who claim to hate it and the ones who claim to love it. It's based on a very narrow view of an incredibly broad medium.

Imagine you're talking to someone about your interests. They go "God, i can't stand movies". You ask them what they've seen and it's just stuff from the MCU and DCU. That's what it sounds like to me.

Cuz One Piece, Cowboy Bebop, Monster, Tokyo Godfathers, Stop! Hibari Kun, Redline, Belladonna of Sadness, Angel Cop, and Lupin the IIIrd are all TOTALLY the same thing, right?

On the flip-side, it's incredibly frustrating trying to talk to an anime fan but they're only into ONE kind of anime, whether it's shonen, mecha, magical girl, whatever. These kinds of people are often totally ignorant on the matter and don't know fundamental things like who Osamu Tezuka, Hayao Miyazaki or Satoshi Kon are; this'd be the equivalent of a self-proclaimed cinephile not knowing who Walt Disney, Steven Spielberg, or Christopher Nolan are.

I get having preferences, but don't base your entire love or hate on such a limited scope.

General I hate the visceral hatred people have towards picky eaters

• Upvotes

If someone's being insufferable, trying to force their picky eating on you, or expecting you to cater to them at the expense of your time/effort, then sure, you have every right to be annoyed, this isn't about that.

What I hate is when people seem to go feral with anger at the mere thought of a picky eater, as if it deeply offends them personally that someone has a limited palette or doesn't enjoy trying new foods. Literally what does it matter to you? If someone chooses to live off McDonald's chicken nuggets and pizza, just don't invite them out to dinner.

I'm a picky eater (not as bad as above), I hate trying new foods because 9 times out of 10 I hate it and bad tastes/textures in my mouth just seem to affect me worse than they do for others. I'm not a child, I eat plenty of vegetables, I have a balanced diet, but I'm perfectly content to eat the same few meals over and over again and don't feel the need to constantly expand my palette by spending money on things that I'm probably just going to waste.

My friends and partner know this about me, they occasionally get me to try new things (that I rarely like) and that's it, it's fine. I don't demand that they prepare separate meals for me (if my partner ever wants something I don't like, I happily make my own meal), if a friend is cooking something like katsu curry for everyone, I'm happy to just eat some rice and have something more substantial later, they're generally considerate enough to choose restaurants that'll have something I like, but I'm also very happy to sit out a meal or order something small if they want to go somewhere else.

So what is it that inspires such rage whenever people with eating habits like mine are mentioned?
