Just as the title says. An explanation would be nice too


I'd prefer if we kept harmful discussion or fighting out of this thread. You may talk about or explain your opinion, but please don't pick a fight. I made this so people can express their opinions without hate or serious discussion. If you must fight, PLEASE take it elsewhere!

To start this off, I'm going to say that I don't really care for anime. I don't hate it, I just never had the chance to watch it until very recently.

I think "triggers" are mostly used to give people an excuse to be angry at someone for something minor.

I don't believe in good or evil. Fake concepts as far as I'm concerned.

I think kids are trying too hard to grow up too fast these days. Too many are worried about social issues and other problems, rather than actually developing themselves or well, enjoying being a kid. I was very mature when I was younger, but I could still have fun.

Also, 7 out of 10 times I can't stand when people preach about equality. Usually what they end up referring to is instead of bringing everyone to the same level, it's all about giving every minority priority and a crutch, while handicapping "Cis-Gender, Straight, White Males/Females." It's like nowadays it's not about Rights, it's about Special Rights. And that's not equality.

I agree. Equality should be the equality of EVERYONE. However I guess most people prefer the Orwell quote. "All animals are equal, just some are more equal than others."

It just crosses me as super hypocritical how stereotypical and "unequal" most of the people who preach about it can be. And god forbid you decide to speak out against it, you'd immediately be labeled an "Everything-Phobe." I can understand being passionate about a cause, but don't be asinine about it. That's why most people can't take them serious to begin with :V

I support legal wolf hunting.

That doesn't mean I support wolf poaching, they're completely different.

You have both made me hungry and curious to try something new, that and made me wonder where in the UK I could get wolf meat.


O.T: I think wrong opinions exist. Specifically, if an opinion is largely unfounded with little to nothing to back it up and then is presented as a fact, it's probably wrong.

It needs to be tenderized, but I don't eat it often. I only eat it when other game is scarce, plus I kind of feel like I'm betraying my wolf-dog, haha.


OT: I'm shamanistic, polytheistic, and animistic.

I believe in objective good and evil, everything else in this thread I agree with absolutely as of post 7 (when I started typing). The ability for people to be triggered by honest questions, mistakes, and bluntly by things that should have no bearing on anything, and the... regressive, attempts at equality, could both, ironically, sink real efforts at equality. Not only by giving actual bigots more ammo ("Black people are being given extra liberties! Can't you see how unfair that is for us white people who are in our own nation!") but its making its alienating people who want to support equal rights, drowning them out under a tide of "Triggered". there are people out there who are growing MORE racist due to these so called "SJWs"

the fact that on this very forum I was told "Black people can't be racist" SICKENS me to the core.


To add my own thing, on a similar subject, I honestly only acknowledge 3 genders, male, female, neither/Agender. Its not that I have an issue with people who claim to be "Gender fluid" or "Gender queer" or "Bigender" or whatever, its just that I honestly don't care, and will just use They/them rather than trying to learn an endless tide of meaningless genders, many of which ARE invented just for attention.

All I care about is he/she/they, everything else is a waste of time to everyone except yourself. equally, most men don't walk around screaming about the fact they are men Outside of football matches and other sport, and most women don't make a big deal out of being women, if you are some rarer gender, same thing should apply if you want equal treatment surely?


As for wolf hunting, totally neutral, i don't know enough.

I am a little tempted to ask about those views, besides polytheism, I know what that means, but don't feel this thread is the place. No one likes a derailed thread.


O.T: I'm rather Anti-consumerist. As in I hate the whole materialistic, "I gotta buy me that latest Iphone so people won't judge me" etc culture we have going on in the first world.

As for wolf hunting, totally neutral, i don't know enough.

Let me explain, as someone who has been up close and personal with wolves and I've shot a few down myself.


Wolves can be used for many different things. Their fur is used for clothing and pelts, their fangs for jewelry and rituals, bones can be used for tools, organs can be donated to research facilities, and their meat is considered a delicacy in my area and in my culture.


Hunting wolves prevents their numbers from growing too large and potentially damaging the herds of deer and elk, and they also surplus kill. Surplus killing happens when a species hunts more animals than they can eat, which upsets the balance of the environment.


Though many people will tell you that the wolves are "innocent", they are quite harmful to the environment if left unchecked.
Just like any species, really.




OT: Going along with Andger, I really hate made-up pronouns like "xe, xen" and "fae". I also hate it when otherkins use pronouns.


I don't think saying "retarded" is that big of a deal.

funnily enough, this is instinctively what I felt, letting any species grow too powerful in an area causes issues.

Of course us humans know nothing about that

I personally believe that long time love, as in like life long love or anything over say 10 years, is truly impossible and just needlessly tying yourself down. As far as I can tell it always breaks down and there's always some struggle to preserve it which makes both sides very bitter. Easier and better for everyone to just break it off on friendly terms, maybe take a break from each other and if possible reconnect as friends.

That's why technologically fueled (and controlled) evolution are so important. But no. People won't ever accept it. That makes me so mad!

Like human augmentation through technology and genetics and such?

[Silaluk]

Vegetarians/vegans that shove their beliefs down my throat kind of piss me off. I'm not a huge part of the consumerist society who eats cows/chickens/pigs that were stuffed with GMO'd corn before getting sliced and diced by machines with their thousands of brethren. I eat what I catch and I forage, with the occasional Arby's chicken tenders and mozzarella sticks.
