Unpopular Opinions 2.0

[AkiraKurusu]

As for the Cross-dressing to enter Gerudo Town, I'm sure that's meant mostly as a way to disguise Link so that he can sneak in without getting attacked on the spot, Plus, he isn't required to do that anytime after the Gerudo quests are done with.

Ocarina of Time had Link obtain a Pass from its Gerudo chief, after rescuing all four carpenters (and thus sneaking by all the sentries, and defeating the four cell guards), which allowed him to enter the Gerudo Fortress normally from that point onwards.
Why couldn't Riju give Link a similar pass?

As for the "sexism" angle, it'd be one thing if the Gerudo didn't allow any other races (male or female) to enter, and were isolationist, which was seemingly the case in Ocarina of Time - it's a whole other kettle-o-fish to allow only females of the other races in.
And, uh, the Gorons; are there any female Gorons in BotW? Are the two or so Gorons in Gerudo Town females? Because if they're guys, then how come they allow them in but no other dudes? Fucking hypocrites.

Sure, you no longer need to enter that godforsaken den of misandry after doing all the quests there and getting the Korok Seeds in the vicinity, but you still need to crossdress to enter it, no matter what.
Oh, and why the fuck does their word for male sound like "foe", or in other words "enemy"? Bloody chauvinistic bigots. Absolutely, despicably appalling work there, Nintendo.

Not agreeing with someone's political view shouldn't result in getting shat on verbally on social media.

if someone tries to pass off their shitty "opinion" on stuff like LGBT people as "political opinion" then watch me cancel their ass like it's no tomorrow

otherwise, i can agree to an extent to this

Of course, I agree with that. But I'm referring to things like "I don't agree with X politicians policies/beliefs" or "I don't agree with the person in power because it's hurting the economy" alone should not justify cancelling people. People are entitled to their opinions, but I don't want the 21st century to become Orwell's 1984. Just saying. Like, can't people agree to disagree without being resorting to ad hominem attacks of coercion? I'm so sick of the "if you're not with me, you're against me" bullshit. But that's just my opinion.

context matters though - some topics are simply up to no debate whereas some topics it's okay to have different opinions on

Please forgive me for butting in here, but I would love to know which heading "blatant depiction of misandry" falls under.

I know, just curious, since not a lot of people talk about it.

I believe that any harmful topics (i.e. LGBTphobia, racial discrimination, gender-based discrimination) should be rather depicted with clear condemnation (especially story-wise, simple example - have a racist character be constantly shunned by others for being racist; to teach especially young players and give them a message "racism is bad")

but since your topic earlier talked about Gerudos, I am unable to tell whether that specific example is good or bad (because Zelda is not my cup of tea to be fair)

to sum it up: harmful topics in creations, be it games, tv series or anything else - should be rather depicted with specific context so people won't have possible room for interpretation that creator(s) condone said behavior, and that shouldn't be up to debate, given that creators aren't forced to be very straightforward with their condemning - they can do it in a more subtle way, if their creation is targeted towards a bit more mature audience

gaming is an absolute waste of time without any benefit at all and I think some people would be better without it

quite ironic considering it's a gaming forum

Unpopular opinion:
America will never be the powerhouse it used to be.
Also
Teleportation as an invention should never happen since it would destroy the world as we know it.

@ DinohScene Excuse me, why was my post removed? Censorship much?

maybe because you're hating on a group of people for no reason?

I agree, this combative environment started by Trump has had lasting negative effects.

Shitting on someone online and then complaining about being shat on was a dumb move.

Cause it's a rubbish post which serves nothing but to shit on LGBT people.
Mind you, I'm homosexual :')

So you decide if my opinion is rubbish and I cannot post it?
This is a topic called "unpopular opinions" even ffs. Hello Censorship.
My intent is not to hurt anyone, or illogically hate. It maybe an uncomfortable truth yes. Sometimes truth hurt I understand.
But that is not my responsibility, that is each one's owns.

I have nothing against homosexuals, lesbians etc. Then you are misconstruing my post. That is not the point at all.
Im talking about the movement. How it is used, why it was created, and the effect it is having. and how distorted it has become.
And you censoring and silencing me will not change that.
Im appalled at your behaviour, from a moderator one should expect more.
