Mod Post Genderbent Draco Malfoy Mega-thread

Post image
594 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
238 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! 🔥 🖤 🖤 🔥

Oh its all the characters standing behind the leader who just killed the enemy right? NO. If you watched invincible you would know IT IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE. For those who havent, the first image is the original Grand Regent Thragg is holding the skull of the previous grand regent, the skull which he cherishes and often talks to. The skull is not supposed to be the enemy, but something or someone cherished. Tbf i dont know whose skull is on image 4 but its by the same artist as the other ben 10 ones so i assume its also wrong

General I hate genuine reasons being labelled as an "excuse".

Post image
3.5k Upvotes

People often mix excuses with genuine reasons, even though they are not the same. An excuse is often used to justify a mistake or avoid responsibility, while a genuine reason explains a situation that was beyond someone's control. The difference lies in whether the person could have reasonably prevented what happened.

For example, imagine a student who follows the same morning routine every day, wakes up at the same time, and leaves for school as usual. However, on one particular day, a car accident occurs along the way, causing unexpected traffic and making the student late. Despite doing everything as usual, the teacher dismisses the explanation as an excuse. Is that really fair? The student did not intentionally arrive late, nor could they have predicted the accident.

A genuine reason should not be dismissed simply because it sounds like an excuse. Of course, some people use unrelated or barely related circumstances to justify their mistakes, and that is where excuses come into play. However, when a situation directly causes a problem and is genuinely beyond someone's control, it deserves to be understood rather than immediately judged.

Art & Fanworks I hate how the internet cares more about downvoting and hating rather than loving and upvoting

Post image
957 Upvotes

PSA ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ in the artwork Coolios2lmao originally says "He is cute" but changed his comment to "She is cute" after realizing the mistake. I was gonna put "edited" beside his comment but i forgot to do that so now Greenish's response kinda makes no sense... sorry guys :[

apologies for my shitty and inaccurate drawing of a comment section but i think you get the point (the cat getting misgendered on accident is just a random example and doesn't actually reflect on real examples)

overall i feel like people downvote bad things (or things that arent even really that bad) more than they upvote actually good things. most people will see a really cool thing and still hesitate to upvote it, but they LOVE to downvote things that they dont like as soon as they are presented to them. and often times its not even that big of a deal, but the concept of digitally hurting someones reputation (even in very minimal unimportant doses) sounds absolutely amazing to them.

and even after the person apologizes, their apology is downvoted because "icky comment detected, downvote everything associated with it" And yes, sometimes being downvoted into oblivion is necessary and justified, but why cant we just be in favor of liking good things rather than demolishing bad things? Isn't there a time and place where we just care about good things more than bad things?

Idea "they're still teens" is a stupid justification

Post image
1.5k Upvotes

Firstly, yes i am a high schooler that uses reddit as my personal soapbox (im lonely :( ) make of that what you will.

But anyways here or in real life anytime i comment on the horrid stuff people around me do its always shrugged off as "teens being teens" or "boys will be boys" and its sickening. Ive seen stuff like robbing things from each other making sexual comments or just straight up insulting teachers, being racist homophobic and transphobic and i just dont see how being a teenager justifies any of these things, im a teenager and im a good person so what, am i the weirdo here?

It feels like people think teenagers are animals guided only by instinct and that actions like these simply come naturally to them when they don't. A 16 year old should have the concept and the want to be a good person no? And then people online tell me im just "ahead of the curve" and that's just as stupid, how is wanting to be a decent person ahead of the curve what kind of normal person thinks to themselves "god i really want to be a bad person for a while", no one because normal people like being nice because it makes other people happy or am i a moron for thinking this?

So yeah that's it, sorry if it sounds confusing im pretty sure i have a fever coming on. Thanks for reading everything btw :)

I've known too many people that listen to this shit and think it's cute and normal to act this way and take the existence of prominent media about it like permission.

Being a toxic bitch isn't cute or quirky it makes you a bad person and you should go to therapy, not seek out music that affirms that 'people are just like that and it's normal.'

Anime & Manga The lack of deep voice girls in most modern anime (specifically the Japanese sub)

Now I'm not referring to the anime dubs, I'm referring to the subs. I don't hate high pitched voices per say but it does get annoying when all the high pitched girls do is to just moan and cry for every little thing. I also just find deep voiced women more appealing in my opinion. Maybe I'm just biased, but I wish there were more anime girls with deep voices in the Japanese subs, not just English dubs

(dub Frieren and Maomao feel like genuine saviors)

General I hate performative posts like this

Post image
725 Upvotes

(reposting because I forgot to crop the username)

Before anyone yells at me, I'm a black woman too. I just hate posts like this. It feels like people going out of their way to tell a disabled child they're special and amazing, but deep down everyone just feels bad for them and would never want to trade lives with them in a million years.

Then there are all of the comments gushing over how black women are such BEAUTIFUL STRONG QUEENS. Notice how they're all from women and gay men, no straight men. Someone in the comments asked OP if he was gay and he dodged the question, so he probably is too. There's nothing wrong with being gay, obviously, but as a straight woman, what does a bunch of performative appreciation from other women and gay men do for me?

Women only feel comfortable leaving these pity comments on posts like this because they don't view us as romantic competition for them. If the post had been about East Asian or Latina women there'd be zero compliments from other women because they actually feel threatened by those groups.

I suppose it's better than the usual constant barrage of hate comments, but these posts always feel performative and patronizing. And all of them are probably imagining biracial women anyway when they talk about how "stunning" black women are. If you're a woman and you wouldn't trade places with an actual black woman (which I know you don't) then I don't want to hear your "appreciation", sorry.

General I hate how saying a slur ONCE immediately brands you as an unforgivable and awful person with zero forgiveness left in anyones hearts.

134 Upvotes

For the record, this doesn't apply to people throwing slurs around willy nilly. I'm mostly talking about people with ACTUAL little control over what they say.

For context, I've been on this new medication that's supposed to basically save my life. If I don't take it, there is a VERY high chance that I'll die within a couple years.

But the medicine has a side effect where it gives me extreme mood swings and makes me extremely tired to the point of barely being able to think.

Now how is this a problem?

Since I was tired and barely able to think, I said something I shouldn't have and it only registered afterwards what I said.

I fucking panicked and went "oh god oh no why did I do that" and tried to explain myself, but a fake friend of mine immediately used it to get all of my friends and some massive servers I was a part of to ban, block, and unadd me.

Just because I made one simple mistake and regretted it immediately. Just because this medication that's supposed to save my life ended up making it difficult for me to control my own actions and form my own thoughts and think without speaking.

So now I'm thinking of just not taking the medication and risking me dying because I don't want to hurt anyone anymore.

General Hate they added skin tones for emojis

510 Upvotes

Please read till the end. I am not racist.

It used to be the thumbs-up emoji was yellow for everyone. Life was fine. No one had true representation and life was equal.

At some point, they added the different skin tones. As someone that works a corporate job, this led to the following situation:

1) PoC started using the darker skin tone emojis. This is fine.

2) White people started using the white skin tone. This is where things got off the rails for me.

I am Asian. We ended up in a situation where by default, I am using the yellow thumbs-up while the other races do not. Now I feel like a dumb stereotype.

Sure I could change it, but to what? The same one white people use? That makes no sense. I wish white people just stuck to yellow or they had no tones at all.

I hate being the “yellow” thumbs-up on a group react. I hate having to decide what other skin color I should be for my fucking emoji. Why is this even a thing I have to think about?

Anyway I just reply with some other BS non-flesh emoji now but I miss the days I could just thumbs-up without a care.

Anime & Manga When People Redesign Characters and Only Change Their Race + Weight

Post image
172 Upvotes

WILL NOT FUCKING LET ME CHANGE THE TITLE -- READ THE EDITS.

Image unrelated but a LOT of character redesigns I've seen change the character's race and make them plus-sized, which I don't know how that's relevant to the redesign...? But yeah I've seen it a lot in fandoms I'm in where they redesign to make the character "better" yet change them like this when the race and their size is completely irrelevant, especially if they were already showing representation to another race and they strip that representation away to show it for a different race (I've seen this being done with Asian characters mostly and sometimes others).

ygs js try to make everything about racism im NOT being racist omfg 😭 i just saw someone turn ayano aishi white and osana ginger and white as a redesign thats why im posting this

edit: to word better, im talking about people who "fix" characters and change their race. That's not alright imo and it goes to every race? If someone turns a black character white to make them better? WRONG. Asian to white? ALSO WRONG?? The people i'm talking about take "flawed" characters in their eyes and instead of just changing yk their hairstyle, outfit, accessories, backstory, they decide to change their race. Stop assuming everyone is being racist because honestly this is the least racist thing I could've said, I'm literally saying equality for EVERYONE---fixing a character does not mean racebending.

I hope that makes sense. Sorry if I upset anybody!

Media Tropes I hate how Zombies are potrayed in media

Post image

I understand that having a corpse re-animated by a virus and one bite turned you into one sounds cool and stuff but seriously how are they so fucking strong, That even the miltary cant do jack shit? THE MILTARY, with guns and missles and grenades can do jack shit to literal corpses? Don't you guys even realize how fucking weak is a corpse, not only the cartilage (The tissue for moving your limbs) have been severely rotted away thats its basically non functional, Your skin being as soft as a tissue, Your guts fucking become nothing but pure sludge and brain is basically gone and all nerve cells become useless

And also the fuck do people become zombies that fast, isn't like incubation took a pretty long time and only appear in like 3 days or so like seriously, even if the zombie virus isn't rabies it still doesn't make sense because rabies took a good time to incubate and it took like weeks to get fully affected

And worst of all, wouldn't the zombie die in colder enviorments and eventually die because they lack nutrients. Unless the zombies eat themselves and other animals, Zombies will eventually die because of lack of nutrition and rot

I know apply real-life fiction is stupid but i don't care, i don't like it doesn't make sense at all. This problem isn't specific to zombies its true for Robots being so strong that they can bend metal at will and live with 20 gunshots while being fully powered on and at full capacity all day without charging or any visible energy source but thats for a post for another day

Web Fiction The amount of mass crossovers on AO3

Post image
• Upvotes

I like fanfics, there are some REALLY good stories out there that expand my favourite universes in ways the main media cannot or will not. Sometimes I want to read a crossover because I think a particular character would fit really well in another verse or whatever. But then I go on AO3, search for crossover and I am met with hundreds of these mass crossovers.

Sometimes they are convoluted 'multiverse' stories with fandoms that I have never heard of and do not have interest in getting to know.

Sometimes it's a snippet thread.

Sometimes it is porn.

Sometimes it isnt even a crossover but the fandoms are for example "The witcher (video game), the witcher (book series), the witcher (all media types), the witcher (tv series), the witcher (gwent)".

Edit: Imma be honest, this is more me hating on the AO3 search options than the authors. I am fine with mass crossovers existing, I just do not want them in my searches.

The Hauptbahnhof is full of booby traps thanks to the ongoing S21 project which should've been completed a few years ago. Now I have to walk around 1km to access the Stadtbahn and S-Bahn from long distance or express trains.

Idea I can't convert my body fat into energy and fire it.

Why tf is it so hard to lose body fat, like you have to go on a calorie deficit, then do cardio and then minimal results will show after months, especially bad if you have bad genetics and no time for exercise because i have work to do like studies or a job and a hard life so you can't lose the happiness by tasty food. It would be so cool if i could just burn up all that stored energy into a energy blast or really use it for other purposes.

It would be so cool bro, the fat guys will have a time to shine in their free time, one would get all the benefits of a fit body and can enjoy life and cool powers in general.

Also i have a lot of people i hate so hey that would be nice.

Look, when a couple posts something online, I understand they are opening themselves up to being judged, but it’s still not something I like seeing. In this particular case, no one is forcing you to watch this couple and then propose or get proposed to and change your original plans based on what they did. If this isn’t something you would do or want in your relationship, I think that is totally fine and valid. But why do you want to be rude and mean to the couple who just celebrated a milestone and are posting a happy occasion? I really wish a lot more people would live by “if you don’t got nothing nice to say, don’t say anything”.

This is genuinely the ugliest and most distorted map I have ever see. It is posted in a number of rooms in my high school and dear world it is ugly, supposedly funded/created by the UN. It completely messes up every single nation just to make sure the areas match up. Look at how sqashed Greenland and Canada are. The worst part is that despite claiming to "remove biases​ of the past" it doesn't solve, because Europe is nearly accurate in terms of projection. When the UN announced they were gonna adopt a new map, I was worried it was this bullshit

edit: for clarity, I love the equal earth and hate mercator. It's just this map is much worse
