Unpopular opinions we have on fiction

[FeigningGrey]

"Let's go! open up, it's time for Unpop!"
Alright, time for my mandatory Unpopular Opinions Post. Let's get this over with.
"You're late. You know the deal. You can Omelaspost for a Funny, or you can make an interesting post for an Insightful."
Here in Unpopular Opinions Poster Civilisation, no one chooses to make interesting posts. It's better to make the one joke everyone knows for the Funny, rather than risk your entire life for just one Insightful rating.
"Tomorrow you better not be late, or I'll have you posting for Informative reactions as punishment."
"Yes sir, sorry, I won't be late next time."

Down here, us Omelasposters only get one Rating a day. One Funny rating is just enough to get your post:reaction ratio to the next day. But that's the life of Unpopular Opinions Poster Civilisation. If you wanna survive, you have to Unpopular Opinions Post. Every Omelasposter has the same goal, and that's to make it to the top thread, where all the Brothers Karamazovposters live. Except, most Brothers Karamazovposters are born on the top thread. If you're an Omelasposter, there's only one way up, and that is through the Temple of Unpopular Opinions. The Temple of Unpopular Opinions is the only structure on SV that combines the bottom thread to the top thread. To make it up, you have to post an impossibly hard Unpopular Opinion Reply that no Omelasposter has ever completed. And that's assuming you even get the chance to post the reply in the thread. The inside of the Temple is protected by a barrier and the only way an Omelasposter gets past the barrier is if they've earned a gilded post. I've never even tried getting a gilded post before, but if I'm going to rank up to a Brothers Karamazovposter one day, I'm gonna have to.

Apart from it being entertaining the pay off is incredible. 'Here I come, King of Heroes.'

The One Piece I've been watching dethroned that moment as my favorite in any anime that wasn't Vinland Saga (for now, my favorite non-Vinland is Luffy's shouted OF COURSE I WILL! to Nami in the Arlong Saga), which is more or less entirely "all my favorite anime moments", but for like 12 years that Here I come, King of Heroes moment was my all time favorite.

shit that's all positivity about media that's not my brand, um.

Okay, related to One Piece, I think if you're not going to kill a character there should be no acting like maybe you might. Just maim people in obviously survivable ways and don't even pretend that death is on the table, because when someone comes back after a perfect death scene it just undercuts everything and is a huge cheat and let-down.

glares at everything about how Crocodile was handled

I think "Harry is a Dragon and That's Okay" did the Harry Potter story better than Rowling. With no buts or concessions, it's the same sort of whimsy tone she was going for originally but far, far more successful.

It's the third time I reread it at this point and every time I swear it gets more enjoyable to read rather than less.

Would've loved to see more Go Nagai stories get animated or adapted. The man pushed the boundaries for what was okay in the 60s, let's see one more extreme push.

MAKE AN UNCENSORED VIOLENCE JACK ANIME!!!

And keep the Devilman reference!

This sounds like you're saying it matters more to people who are unrepentantly wrong in ways you object to? I advance the brave suggestion that we not elevate that preference to unqualified "more important".

I've re-read this post a few times, and it might be my ESL acting up, but I can't quite parse what you're saying.

Your post argued that historical verisimilitude matters more than historical accuracy because

If you make a story in the Middle Ages with a blacksmithing woman named Tiffany, people will cry foul and woke agenda. So people clearly are only after what feels authentic to them rather than what actually is.

I.e it matters to be people that are dumb, ignorant and/or malicious. That idiots have an opinion does not mean that you should share that opinion or treat it as correct.

Personally I just took it as saying that most of the people crying about muh historical accuracy don't know what's historically accurate in the first place so no reason to care about what they want.
