Unpopular opinion time (super alpha no pony edition)

@Hypnosryan  
Indeed

I have a feeling that Solo: a Star Wars story will have 2(maybe even 3) scenes with acoustic guitars. One of them possibly being a chase scene. What do you here think of guitars in a canon SW movie?

I honestly don’t fully understand why one would weigh themselves by stone in this day and age.

@Background Pony #CA19  
Are you Background Pony #6ABC from the “Stupid stuff that comes to mind” thread? Its possible there is more than one person that’s interested in Star Wars, but I’m getting that feeling :o

@Background Pony #DD0B  
Yes, I am. What’s it to you, though?

@Background Pony #CA19  
I was just curious. If it was two people with different opinions, I would have been doing them a disservice by imagining them to be the same person.

@Hypnosryan  
I have a love of bass in music. It really brings songs together and is often the most memorable part of a song.

Steamed Hams but the Ham is burnt.

@Background Pony #CA19  
Because stone is a relatively large unit? 14 pounds is the kind of weight people pray to lose in a month.

@Background Pony #CA19  
OH EGADS, MY STEAMED HAMS IS RUINED!

@Hollowfox the Stallion  
Allow me to assert my self-percieved intellectual superiority by saying that Skinner in fact said “ye gods”.

I have a feeling that with both Chuck “hamfisted political subtext” Wending doing a mediocre at best job writing canon SW novels, and even more so now with Rian “Ruin the manbaby” Johnson’s dealing with episode VIII, Star Wars cannot do quite as well creatively without George Lucas. Rose’s sister would have been a better character and it should have been Rose that died early in TLJ.

@TheKingOfAverageness  
I stand corrected.

Love > Hate
 
change my mind

@Hollowfox the Stallion  
You can love something and criticise it and its extremists.

@Hollowfox the Stallion  
I won’t change your mind about that, but you really need to take it easy with the positivity thing. I’d argue that you are doing more shoving than the people whom you think are shoving their opinions down your throat. You gotta let things speak for themselves.

@TheKingOfAverageness  
I just don’t want things I like to look bad. That’s all.
 
I mean, what would you do if something you like is now hated by everyone?  
What if people can’t be friends with you because of what you like?

@Hollowfox the Stallion  
Sounds like an exaggeration to me.
 
What is this in light of?

@Hollowfox the Stallion  
“What if people can’t be friends with you because of what you like?”
 
Examples please? You can hide their names to help protect the innocent if you want.

@TheKingOfAverageness  
Some opinions might be offensive when it goes beyond “I don’t like it”, like the majority of Star Wars fans hating on The Last Jedi. (Sure, it’s not a perfect film and it might have some flaws in storytelling and character, especially Luke Skywalker or Rose Tico. And people do have legit reasons not to like the film.)
 
Or most people who hate popular shows (cartoons such as Rick & Morty or Steven Universe, or anime like Naruto or Sword Art Online) because of fandoms (not to mention comparing the rabid fans to a disease or a meaning that has either changed by trolls or has a double-meaning now when it could have meant a feeling of embarassment) rather than just legit criticism and pointing out the flaws in most circumstances.
 
Unfortunately, people are fine with this notion. Because opinions. And people have a right to it sadly. Which makes friendship difficult when you hold your favorite stuff so dearly.

Dramatization:
 
Person A and Person B are friends, Person A said that he likes My Little Pony, Person B said “My Little Pony sucks because A) It’s for little babies and girls or B) It has a shitty fandom full of perverts and crazies” and then Person A is angry and decides to end his friendship instead of disagreeing naturally because his opinion goes beyond “I don’t like it.”

@Hollowfox the Stallion  
For person A, was shrugging off person B’s criticism an option? My friends hate everything I enjoy in life, but I’m pretty okay with it.
 
Did person B threaten to stop being friends with person A first?

@Hollowfox the Stallion  
Most good friends enjoy their similarities and avoid their differences if it would cause trouble. Just watch MLP:FiM to see examples of that.

I wish I understood the appeal of overpowered heroes. I still have no idea why anyone would ever write for the Flash.

@Hollowfox the Stallion  
Sounds more like to me that you’re incapable of accepting that there are people aho hate what you like and you seem willing to break friendships for something relatively petty.

@Background Pony #DD0B  
Person A really worries that hatedom kills what he loves (Whether it be a cancellation of a program he likes with no proper conclusion or his favorite film phased out from existence after negative reception or box office flop), so sadly No?
 
If he shrugged it off in disagreement and respect, he wouldn’t care that his favorite stuff won’t last forever without a proper conclusion and will die.
