Stupid shit that people tell you cant do.

I've been told I can't wear a dress as a general rule of thumb when I was a kid.
And so I did wear dresses. Lots of 'em for Halloween and anime conventions.
I've been told I can't beat Touhou without a controller.
While I haven't beaten it yet, I've discovered it's humanly possible to play the game with just the arrow keys and Z X. Because I was able to reduce Remelia down to her last spell card on her last life bar.

I was told i can't pilot a Gundam...TELL HELL WITH THEM!

I've been told I can't like metal because I'm Italian.

I was once told there wasn't a religion based on Norse Mythology and that meant I couldn't worship those gods. Oh, the day I slapped Odinism in that particular person's face. Felt good, man.

Oh, another person who believe in my "fake" religion as my Christian family is very keen on calling it. Not to judge but I believe in Asatruism, Odinism is the one with the white supremacy.

I didnt even know you could use anything but arrow keys and ZXC... maybe thats why i still cant beat Kanako on eazy mode...

They said I couldn't play college football........they were right

Hmm, I wasn't aware that Odinism was tied to white supremacy, honestly. I'll make sure to give those particular believers a kick in the teeth for besmirching my religion.

I'll look more into Asatruism, though. I'm always happy to learn more about these things.

I've been told I can't watch WWE because I'm gay. Which baffled me, because I assumed half-naked oiled up sweaty men grappling one another is the sort of thing gay people are kind of known to like. But oh well, I still watch it. And I don't even masturbate during it. So fuck you Jake!

And I've been told my one particularly smug fuckhead that I can't play FPS games because I don't know anything about guns. What's to know? You point it at someone you don't like and pull the trigger until that person isn't alive any more. That's all I need to know about guns. I don't need massive, in-depth technical expertise to play Call of Duty, that you very much.

And someone telling me I can't believe in Zoroastrianism because I previously slagged off Christianity and claim to be an atheist. Yeah, I don't believe in traditional Gods but that doesn't mean I'm not allowed to believe in any Gods. For the record, I don't follow Zoroastrianism but if I were to become religious that would be the one I'd go for. That or the Norse religion, cause Norse Gods are the pure manifestation of badassitude.

 

[Farther than stars]

Of most of the stuff I just think live and let live.
What does annoy me, however, is when people tell me that I've been brainwashed by the government or a fanbase or any individual to believe what I do believe. I mean, I find it really insulting that some people will tell me that my opinions are not my opinions and therefore anything I say cannot be perceived as being rational. You just can't defend yourself against that and, moreover, it's uncivil. I mean, I'm perfectly happy to let them have their opinions, aren't I? (I even started off this post by saying that.)

Battlefield Vietnam
"You can't fly a helicopter low to the ground and expect to do anything useful! Go as high as possible and fly over a point so we can all jump out!"

"BULL****! MUHAHAHAHAHA!" and I procced to make a few of my passengers bail out to their deaths, made a few of the other team crap their pants, and hovered that gaint flying hotdog 3 feet from the ground while we captured the base.

I just wish you non Christians would decide whether you want to celebrate Christmas or get offended by it.

OT: Idk, that I couldn't do normal Trial of the Champion at level 79?

There are athiests that are offended by Christmas?

...Alright... Anyhow, you seemed to throw us all in one pot, so let me do the same and point out you are a child rapist.

...So many things wrong with that...Generalisation... Eugh. That post annoys me.
They said I couldn't get more than a C at my A-levels.

 

[Grabbin Keelz]

I've been told that if I get bad grades or don't finish college then I want get a good career in anything. My friend has worked as a database specialist and a store manager and hasn't had any college experience whatsoever. Although I'm still going to finish college anyway, better chances at least.

lol wut?

Maybe you should take your A-level in reading skills or whatever the fuck again, cause that was the point. He said all athiests need to decide whether Christmas offends them or not (generalization). I said he was a child rapist because hes christian (generalization).

Catholic church... Generalizations... Christmas... Little kids and priests... Geddit? *nudge nudge*

(Seriously though, I didnt understand half of your post. Maybe its me that needs to put more effort into reading. Your avatar is awesome though.)

I don't do english, or reading skills, or whatever at A level. But that is a hollow victory. Also, I should point out that even a generalisation in the name or irony can still be offensive.
Also thanks for the avatar compliment.

Jesus what a massive wall of text.

Some neat stuff tho

You guys just can't deal with my extreme level of rebellion, maaaan. I'ma steal ALL of the ballpoint pens in your office. What you gonna do about it?

 

[tahrey]

They told me I can't like My Little Pony because it is a girl's show.
Fuck.
You.
I will like whatever I goddamn want.

Funny thing though, the sheer obsessiveness and slight lunatic element to the grown-male fandom (I refuse to use the B-word) is pretty much the only thing stopping me watching at least one episode of that show right now. There's a limit to what I'll happily be associated with, and, for myself at least, how far I can bring myself to apply The Lesson Of The Smiths (google it). Having a high profile weirdo fanbase (not asshole, not screaming-girly - just weirdo obsessive) for a thing is in fact a good way of assuring I won't do it... reverse social engineering

It's probably just as awesome as they/you all say, but ... whoa, dudes. Settle down already. In fact... what say I just leave you to it (to avoid being one of those "you can't do that!" guys myself) and I'll come back when you've cleaned up after yourselves, OK?

Jeez, you know the amount of time it took for me to brave the new Doctor Who, and the Girl Genius comic? Same effect. I'll happily recommend both of them, now, but I'm still not going to rave about it, because too much of that and you hit an uncanny valley of actually turning people off. Done it once myself with Studio Ghibli (Princess Mononoke, even, which shouldve been the most accessible of them all) vs my friends... DUDE YOU GOTTA WATCH THIS... yeah... it didn't go down well. Mighta worked better if I'd just suggested it as something to add to an ongoing movie night list.

 

[Trippy Turtle]

Just curious but why on earth wouldn't you want multiplayer in The Elder Scrolls? If you don't like it just don't play it but at least other people can have fun with it. I wouldn't want the focus to be on multiplayer of course but it couldn't make the game worse.

OT:I don't remember the exact line but something about having to focus on being part of society before focusing on enjoying life. Complete bullshit. If I want to go live in a forest and befriend a wolf the I will god dammit!
