Reddit. They were irritating, so I left, but I couldn't care less if someone posts content here from teddit or(apparently gods forbid) mentions reddit.
I do not care about whatever happens with that company any more than I care about Apple or McDonald's or any other company with shitty products I don't engage with.
My only issue is the bots that mirror reddit content over.
And it's not that it's from reddit that bothers me, none of the posts I've seen ever have any engagement. So it feels like spam.
Trans people: I don't care which sportball team you play on or what bathroom you use, just wash your hands when you're done.
Whatever is in your pants is none of my business unless you're trying to make it my business (in which case, I'm flattered, but in a monogamous relationship, sorry).
This should be the baseline bottom, but somehow its not. If you care or not or think its "wrong", just keep it to yourself because Trans people are not harming anyone.
I have met 4 Trans people in my entire life, and they are just normal kind people. They're not cheating at sports, or being weird in bathrooms, or anything people are fearmongering; they just want to live their life comfortable in their bodies
Star Trek vs Star Wars. I like both.
Blasphemy!
Sincerely, someone who does not watch either.
It's more that the internet demands that I'm constantly outraged, but I want to spend the majority of my time being chill and happy. I can get my dander up for most things the internet wants me to be mad about, I just... don't.
that makes them angry though.
Firefox purity testing. Oh no they ran an ad or made a post on a mainstream platform or developed a widget. Look at the state of the world this is such a non issue and compared to the other browsers out there they are fighting the good fight unequivocally.
I'm glad someone said this. I don't have two fucks to give about Firefox's marketing department marketing their browser.
Usually anything to do with celebrity drama. While it's not that common on Lemmy, the rest of the pop internet seems infatuated with what actor/musician threw shade or dissed some other, or which diva is being treated SO unfairly...
Cultural appropriation.
So... You're offended. People are living out of their cars now. I'm more worried about that.
Also, the person being offended usually isn't even from the target culture. They're being vicariously offended on behalf of somebody else, when the actual members of that culture usually dgaf or like it.
Taylor Swift. Like, I get that billionaires are a problem, and her carbon footprint is huge. On the list of problematic billionaires, I feel like she really doesn't do that much problematic shit compared to the others.
Musk is a Nazi that gutted the US govt, Ellison has a laundry list of major issues, bezos is killing small businesses and bought a news company to whitewash himself, gates was involved with Epstein and did some shady shit to grow Microsoft, the waltons single handedly massacred thousands (millions?) of small businesses with anticompetitive practices.
I really don't think that Swift rises remotely close to the same level of degeneracy and existential threat that these guys do, yet the only other billionaire I see getting criticised as much as her is Musk.
"Yes, but have you considered the fact that she is a woman, women enjoy her music, and women enjoying things is a problem because they're wrong? It's like you don't even have a vendetta against pumpkin spice! " - general underlying factor
"her music is not deep" - the opinion of men whose only exposure to her music is the pop songs that gets airtime, not the lyrical depths of the rest of the album that directly hits women in the feels
Sony discontinuing physical media.
I haven't bought a physical game for any platform in I don't even know how many years and I doubt I ever will again.
I think I wrote this in a few hundred comments already. It's a little weird people make it about physical games, it's not really about that, physical games are dead on PC, barely anyone cares. It's about Sony locking people into the Playstation Store and having full control over prices. With physical copies you can buy them wherever you want and they usually go down in price relatively quickly after release. Digital store prices remain high for years after release and only drop sometimes during sales, but even then they drop to the level of physical copies. The other issue are used games, at the moment that only works with physical copies.
The moral failings of celebrities and creators who've been dead for decades.
Save your outrage for things that are happening now, that you still have a chance to change.
Pineapple on pizza. I don't even like it that much but holy shit, shut the fuck up about it. You must have zero personality if you think it bring it up
Stop killing games. I'm not saying it's a bad or wrong stance, just that there are so many other way more important things taking up all my fucks that I'm all out of fucks for that one.
I think it would have been a good first start for other good things to happen. Not necessarily related to games but to digital content in general. It bothers me that something gathered so many signatures to adhere the "official" ways, and yet it was not listened anyway.
Almost any single thing about movies or shows. I don't consume either and literally could not care less about any of it. Double whammy with superhero stuff.
It's rare for me to be outraged by anything. I'm capable of not liking things while not being emotionally captured by them.
"Shitlibs"
Weird fuckin' american paradigm. I've simultaneously been called a shitlib, a tankie, a communist and a capitalist. Piss.
What a CEO or founder of a company does off the clock. Brave, Mozilla, Mullvad, Proton, GrapheneOS - I just don't care. If I picked a product off of the CEO not being a dick, I wouldnt have any products or services to use.
The trend is dying out but, I never understood the labubu hate. It seems like the people who hate them dont even hate the worst aspect of labubus; blind box gambling. I just couldnt seem to find the rational of visceral reaction to a doll.
Sony not making physical discs.
You people think Sony anything was worth buying in the first place?
Most things. The internet is a rage factory these past few years. I got enough real things to be upset about.
Sam Altman says "...", Tim Sweeney is against "..."
I scroll past a headline like that every single day.
