Everything tasty is bad for you, if my body doesnt like it, it can go fuck itself. Junk food is one of the few pleasures I have

That's a pretty wide statement--that's like saying 'I can't stand cartoons'.
What don't you like about them?
The art style. I can't talk about the writing and I guess that varies a lot between works, but I just don't like the art style in general. It might just be due to it being inescapable on the Internet, since most of the stuff that bugs me about anime can also be found in most cartoons (MLP:FiM, to name just one).
I really didn't mean to offend anyone, I don't think someone is wrong for liking something I dislike. Just to be sure.

I really hate the idea that is trying to be shoved down my throat that university is superior over college because in university you are "taught how to think", Whereas in college you go to get a job.

You know what? Its fucking great that you can go someplace to get trained how to get a job, nothing sounds more fucking pretentious to me then to be told I am being taught how to "think", and by "think" I think they mean to be taught how to form a hive mind that destroys any form of independent thought.

Same. And some of their more recent stuff is actually kind of pretty.

Oh no, I wasn't offended at all! I just wanted a bit of clarification.

That's pretty much the opposite of how it works in my experience, university = critical thinking+problem solving (which means you'll have to figure a lot of shit out yourself); college = applying studied methods. But also in my experience, job >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> academics.

University isn't a hive mind unless you join a fraternity or something. I think there are a lot of chances to think for yourself and I know I've changed the way I think about a lot of things, I'm a lot less ignorant and less likely to believe something I'm told without a good reason. Not saying I know everything, but I feel like I value thinking for oneself a lot more.

Really, once I got here I realized my entire hometown was more of a hivemind than here.

Of course, it all depends on where you go and what kind of activities/people you get involved with.

I hate tumblr. Not just the SJWs that steal the spotlight but everything about the culture that site has spawned. In fact, I generally dislike all mainstream internet hubs, like Reddit. I have an extremely low tolerance for anything resembling political correctness and I much prefer "rougher" communities that would drive anyone with thin skin away.

I really dont like the way "political correctness" has become a bad word. Its like people chafe at not being able to blurt out any asshole thing they want without being called on it anymore, so they flock online and mutter in the darkness about how unfair it is that you cant act like a jackass without consequence anymore.

I don't understand why Bejeweled and similar puzzle games such as Bejeweled or Bejeweled Again, or even Still Just Bejeweled is so popular. It seems less like a match puzzle game and more like I-Spy with colors.

It's addicting. Numbers go up and you can become quite good at it. It's like Tetris.

Yeah my brother plays some Frozen version of Bejewled and I just can't stand it because it doesn't really have any gameplay, it's just doing the only thing you can really do. I realize I don't really have any reason to care though, the same can be said for many games.

I don't hate the entire site, but I loathe the 'politically correct' sides of it. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for political correctness*, but it doesn't happen at all on the site. The toxic aspects of the site are simply preposterous.

Though I'd probably be labeled strongly liberal on any normal scale, I feel like a grumpy conservative trying to interact with these people. Their zealotry knows no bounds and seems to draw more from a craving for victimhood than from reality.

I got sick of it and blacklisted every related word I could think of and then stuck to posting jokes and art.

*ignore the loaded term; I know it started as a jab at the notion, but I don't know of any better alternatives
