"Bright Eyes" in Watership Down

I love the song, but I've never seen such a pointless insertion of a song in a movie, ever. The whole scene this epic song plays in left me in utter confusion.
I expected this song to be in some epic end death scene, but instead you just see this rabbit clumsily hop around to find another rabbit who is assumed dead, but not really, or something, and one drawn-out scene later he is found. Everything is fine. What the coo.

I didn't quite enjoy the movie, either. It's overrated. That's probably going to be an article later.

FOR GIRLS

Today I saw a commercial from Nintendo about them launching a "Nintendo Girls Club".
I frowned. I've had enough of this sexism against boys.

For some reason, everytime something is produced "for females", it includes the notion that men are not allowed to show their face, and truth is; if these kind of events and clubs were set up for men and they'd put the slogan "GIRLS NOT ALLOWED" on their signs, feminists would go apeshit.
I know there are enough instances where it's implied it's for men and females can't just jump in, like in most sports, but there's really no need to divide something that's neutral. Like video games.
Why is there a Nintendo club specifically for girls? Why does the media still think that putting a clear distinction between two kinds of people is an effective solution against sexism/discrimination?

Just stop for one minute. Stop talking about it. Stop pointing out who has the penis and who has the vagina, we know this already.


Girls do not need their own special little group where the wallpaper is pink.


"Deviation in storage"

Anyone who has an account at the art site, Deviantart, is probably familiar with this.

Imagine seeing a beautiful or funny piece of artwork. 

You then save the artwork to your favourites. 
But then, a week/month/year later, the artwork you saved suddenly has a thumbnail image of a safe and no title anymore; and instead has the text "Deviation in storage".
What it means is that the artist of that drawing randomly decided they were fed up with their work and pretty much put it in a "hidden" status, so no one can see it. 

So. Yeah. That, instead of deleting it.

What the fuck is wrong with you.

Why would you tease the people who actually liked it by still leaving it on Deviantart, but just not reachable for anyone in the whole wide world, except for you. Delete it, you son of a whore.
I'm not sure who to blame for it, either. Deviantart, for even having this awful feature, or the artists, who simply have no soul.

Pride over things you have no control over

"I'm proud to be gay."
"I'm proud to be bisexual."
"I'm proud to be American."
"I'm proud to be a teenage Christian."
"I'm proud to be black."

I'm proud to be this, I'm proud to be that, etc, etc.

Things you were either raised or born with do not go hand in hand with "pride". Be proud of something you actually put effort in, that's the right time to brag.
Otherwise, you're just happy/satisfied. Not proud.


Fetish art of characters getting tickled by a feather (by another character)

What the fuck.


Mew and Mewtwo from "Pokémon"

I like these guys, while I don't really care for the Pokémon tv-series itself.
I never watched any episodes as a child, but for some reason I did have the first movie, and I guess that introduced me to the only characters I should know, really. Both Mew and Mewtwo are awesome.

Having that said, it isn't hard to see that every portrayal of both Mew and Mewtwo after their first movie is utter shit. Before those all those new generations started entering the picture, I personally thought it was already going downhill.
Mewtwo wasn't even able to fight off Team Rocket in his second movie and Mew sounded like a retarded cat in its second movie, and never got its sweet voice back ever again.
And every other clip starring Mewtwo shows how easily defeated he is every time.

 
As the Pokémon series progressed, more and more Pokémon started entering the picture, including some that suddenly make the existence of Mew and Mewtwo a whole lot less interesting. 
For example, all of the sudden this Pokémon, "Arceus", is called the mother/father of all Pokémon, while before that, Mew pretty much had that role. But fine, being an "ancestor" doesn't necessarily mean you're the creator of all, I guess.

But then there's Mewtwo, who states at least over a million times that he is the strongest Pokémon ever, including the scientists who created him, but many people vote for Arceus in that category as well. And before that, they voted for Lugia.
Pretty much every Pokémon that got shat out after the first generation is suddenly better than the first generation, and my nostalgic love for the first batch makes it hard for me to swallow that. Not because I don't believe it, though.

I'd just love to see Mewtwo blow up some more people and for Mew to "mew". I miss being reminded how great those two are.

Black (comedic) Youtubers and black (Youtube) comedians

Some of them make me laugh, some of them make me cringe, but they all have this one unfunny gimmick they're leeching onto:
That they're black.

Obviously, I had to first come across people like these to really discover how much it makes me frown, and obviously you accept it from the first 2 fellas you listen to, but when you notice the majority is doing it, you don't know what to think.

Guys. Why are you doing it. Why is calling out that you're black, or mentioning the word "black" in your username considered your best asset.
I mean, go ahead and make fun of yourself. But whatever reason you're doing it for, it's not cool, funny, or creating that psychological shield around you to protect you from racist comments and views of others.
I consider it the worst "If you can't beat them, join them"-move I've ever experienced.

If white people were to do it, it would make no sense.
