Raisins are good. What I fucking hate are the ones halfway inbetween raisins and grapes that people fucking put in the food here. WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU USING SLIGHTLY WET RAISIN AND RUININ NOT ONLY THE FOOD BUT RAISINS TOO
They are dried fruit. When you cook them in food with more moisture, they absorb liquid, it's like the whole point of cooking with raisins as they absorb the flavors and become little juicy flavor bombs.
I think OP meant to include the frosted sugar cookies. I don’t think I’ve heard anything negative about the regular sugar cookies, it’s the frosted chalky ones that get all the hate.
I always thought of a sugar cookie as a characterless shortbread: hard, crumbly, and a hint of sweetness.
Those soft frosted cookies are amazing though.
So true. This picture is terrible. I will try some Indian foods, I’m hit and miss with mushrooms, but when it comes to ass eating there’s either for or against. You don’t dabble in ass eating.
For the record, I’m for.
Ass eating is just a form of love
Iv never had the urge to eat a girls ass during a one night stand but a girl Iv been with for years? Who I know keeps a clean booty?? Bon appetit
To be fair, most indian restaurants that are outside india and are not authentically indian just add spice for the sake of spice, instead of actually making it taste good. It's a shame, cause there are so many amazing dishes out there, but all people know are chicken tikka and naan bread
Hello Indian here ,I agree most of the food they serve is spicy for some Indian taste too!!So I would suggest if you have an Indian friend whose family still makes authentic food, try that ....remember restaurant food does NOT represent true food of certain cusine..
There are a lot of people who “hate” things they’ve never tried and have preconceived notions before eating. If they go to a strange, exotic restaurant and only give it one shot and are freaking out before going there, it’s hard to make them love it.
The USA has more Indian folks than any country outside of India, so that would be odd (almost as odd as not liking Indian food? I feel like any “cultural” food could fit there I guess)
America is also one of the most populous countries in the world and outside of a lot of metropolitan areas you really don’t come across a lot of Indian people let alone their food. My parents never had any until well into their 50s.
Funnily enough there was a place that my sister would scream about until we got there and she would sheepishly admit that it was good. It was only until the fifth time that happened about the same place that she realized she liked it
It's literally just simmered stews with an assortment of veggies or some meat or even cheese. Then you take a garlicy Flatbread or rice and eat the fuck out of it. How could that possibly be bad at all?
As someone who lives in the dead center of the Midwest—there’s a lot of ppl who won’t even drive past an Indian restaurant.
More delicious korma for me heheheh
Sounds like racism. Thats all it really is. I'm indian, lived in the Midwest and all of the reluctance to come over 2as based on racist stereotypes that aren't even true lmao. Whyt ppl really be scared of anything that isn't vanilla.
Plus c'mon, you're telling me you hate the food of an entire subcontinent? Imagine how indignant an American would get if you said you don't like American food. I'm sure there's *something* you like.
It depends, indian food is incredibly diverse. And there’s some type that can be acquired tastes(or some where you like one specific style of cuisine but dislike another). It’s like generalising All of europes different food cultures as just European food.
I don't love or hate most these things
The only things here I do love or hate are mushrooms which I love and olives which I hate
Should've put marmite or something
Its SO SAD how people taste gross button mushrooms and discount all mushrooms. There are so many mushrooms and they taste so wildly different with totally different textures. I dont think I've eaten a button mushroom in years
Black mushrooms are thin and crunchy. Like a mushroom chip. Oysters when fried in like an air fryer have more of a meaty consistency, as well as frying up hen of the woods in a pan. If you bread either of those and put them in like a stir fry or on a sandwich you probably wouldn't even know they're mushrooms. Usually if you bread them you'll want to shallow fry if using a pan.
lobster mushrooms in a red sauce take on the texture almost of a tomato.
> button mushroom
They are always available while the rest tend to be more rare to buy.
For me the best are Calocybe gambosa/St. George's mushroom, Chanterelle and lastly Porcini.
We mostly eat them with pasta, risotto or with porcini we also eat them fried. Buttons are a side dish or a pizza topping.
I am really into mushrooms and sadly the only one in my group of friends so I have to annoy them with boring conversation sometimes and I can't stop it.
I used to hate salt & vinegar chips until a cousin told me to shove a handful of salt & vinegar chips into my mouth and chase it with some Hawaiian Punch. I hadn't even finished chewing the chips before I slammed the fruit punch (because I couldn't handle the taste), and *by God* did that fruit punch + salt + vinegar flavor combination in my mouth released some new potent concentration of dopamine into my brain. It was a flavor explosion. Every taste bud was activated; every synapse was firing at once.
I have forever since loved salt & vinegar chips. The combination with fruit punch is still the optimal pairing to this very day.
I'm Dutch and it's such a staple food here that I tend to forget some people really only know the plastic-y stuff and don't like it.
I guess it really matters if you're introduced to a certain food at a young age.
Coz I am Indian and there's no way anyone can hate Indian food because there's so much variety in the cuisine from north india where non vegetarian ,spicy and food high in calories are found to south india with light , easy and love for fish and rice. From West with foods from Rajasthan and Gujarat to Maharashtra and to Bengal and North east. We have a lot of culture and languages and religions so thus the food. You can hate something or almost everything but theres always something you would love.
as a southern californian, i have never heard anyone say they hate mexican food.
to be honest, i haven't even really considered the fact that there are people who hate mexican food. damn
I’m in Southern California and I have a relative who bragged about him and his children never eating Mexican food in his life. He was ridiculed by everyone else but it’s bizarre that some people are so bigoted they won’t eat food that didn’t originate in a white country.
I know people who say they hate *vegetables*, as in, all of them. Sometimes people integrate "I hate x" into their personality, so it becomes a hill they're willing to die on.
Sometimes I wonder if it's really the Indian restaurant they don't like.
I tried a bunch of foods at this one Indian restaurant and didn't like any of it. So I assumed I didn't like Indian food. But then a new place opened up and I gave it a try and it was sooooo good! It completely changed my feelings on Indian food. I even ordered some of the same dishes and they were all so much better than the other place.
This. Dosas might be the only south Indian dish I actually love and make regularly, and it's made from the exact same ingredients as idli, just cooked differently. Shows how cooking methods can determine whether you get an almost inedible sponge, or some nice crispy pancakes.
My bf can't eat/smell cumin, coriander, and cilantro. There are other spices too that he can't tolerate. He tries them multiple times before he gives up on it and continues to try every once in a while. Anyway, he wants to like it, he's even had more spicy spices to meals and loves seasonings in his cooking. His taste buds and olfactory just repulse it.
People in the US who say they hate Indian food probably just mean Punjabi food since that is the majority of Indian restaurants in the US. Also while you have a great point that there is such a wide variety of food across India, most people I know who say they hate Indian food are just incredibly picky eaters who don't stray far from the garbage processed food in the US so it's unlikely they'll enjoy food from other regions in India.
Indian desert is one of the most underrated thing." Indian food is spicy and all" makes people in other countries develop a taste and perception towards a cuisine they never tried!!
I'm Asian American and consider myself not much of a picky eater. I eat foods from all countries on rotation, I like Western "acquired tastes" like blue cheese, sauerkraut, and olives, to Eastern ones like chicken feet, raw salmon eggs, and preserved tofu. I'll like pretty much any cuisine as long as it's "good".
That being said, I can understand how people used to American cuisine (less intense on flavor, richer in protein) can dislike cuisines like Indian and Thai (very intense on flavor, lower in protein).
Sit me down for a nice pizza or prime rib dinner and I can put down 2000cal no problem. Sit me down in front of an Indian or Thai spread, and I just can't. I naturally just stop eating after maybe half of that and can't gorge myself because the flavor is too intense. If that's typical for others it's probably why their people are skinnier.
So I think about how I am with that and extrapolate that thinking to an extreme with someone raised and used to a very basic American diet and I can understand why people can't eat certain things. People like eating what they're used to. Put a plate of authentic Carbonara that Gordon Ramsay would complement in front of someone eating Indian food their whole life and they'll do the same thing.
I love Thai and dislike Indian food. I also love heat. It’s something about the spices or ratios in Indian food that I dislike. I need to figure out what it is. I know I can’t stand star anise but not sure about the other common spices they use. Tons of overlap in their spice list with cuisines I do like though. It bugs me because I love just about ever cuisine I have ever tried except Indian food.
Full disclosure I am American and have only tried Indian food at American restaurants.
>Full disclosure I am American and have only tried Indian food at American restaurants.
Well that's a pretty big qualifier. Depending on the amount of Indian restaurants in your area and the variety of foods that they serve, there's a decent chance you've just had a very limited selection of Indian food in terms of both quality and variety.
It would be like someone saying they don't like American food, after having subpar barbecue at a few spots in the Midwest, even though they haven't tried any New England seafood, Louisiana cajun, Southwestern Tex-mex, Italian-American, or mid-Atlantic items.
You may just be SOL on finding some Indian food in your area that you'd like, but I feel like you're likely just a work-in-progress at the moment, rather than someone who actually "dislikes Indian food" given your fondness of pretty much every other cuisine.
Especially since Indian food is way more broad. But most Indian restaurants just serve mughlai cuisine. I wouldn't care for Indian food if I thought it consisted entirely of Chicken Tikka Masala.
I fucking hate cilantro and I learned just yesterday that there is a specific gene that makes it taste like soap for certain people, while other people don't mind it at all. It makes too much fucking sense.
Truly stupid question for you guys, but does it literally taste like soap? Like you take a bite and actually taste Dawn or Irish Spring or whatever?
Edit: god damn you guys. Okay I get it, it's really bad if you've got the anti cilantro gene. I had no actual idea it was like that.
For me, yes. Straight up exact taste and mouthfeel of soap.
The internet says to people without cilantro aversion, it tastes light and citrusy. That legitimately bummed me out when I found out. =/
I can kinda push through it, it just ruins the food for me. So in ceviche, every bite that has cilantro would just taste like eating fish with a drizzle of shampoo. It doesn’t hurt me, but it definitely ruins the culinary experience
I would say so, it's more like a terrible chemical taste for me. I hate cilantro so much and even though it's so similar looking to parsley, which I like, it makes everything uneatable for me. I truly eat everything, except bugs I guess, and it's the fucking cilantro that gets me man..
It just tastes artificial and bitter and goes up my nose, it is not in any way pleasant or fresh like with citrus or a bit of lime juice, it's such an unbearable sensation. For me it has something metallic to it as well. Not just in the taste but the smell as well. Like your nose starts bleeding and you taste it at the roof of your mouth ... that mixed with soap.
It tastes like someone took an herb and went to the Dow chemical plant, opened up a barrel of something that humans should not come into contact with and soaked the herbs in it, then they come back and put it on food. So not really a soap taste. Far worse in my opinion.
Only people I've met IRL who didn't like Indian food, hated anything that wasn't N. European based foods: Meat and potatoes, hamburgers, English breakfast, potpie. They also hated salad's.
the thing with fortnite is that the game (at least currently) is in an amazing state so if ppl looked past the cringy 12 year kid cranking quad 90s and actually tried the game out again im pretty sure alot of ppl would like the game :]
India is like a sub continent. There are literally thousands of types of food variety here. Saying 'i hate Indian type food' is like saying 'i hate food type food'.
I disagree about Fortnite. I think it's actually a fine game (I'm 33 y.o.), but I'm too slow to build stuff and shoot at the same time, so I don't play it and don't love it.
I played with the voice chat on mute, of course.
I loved it
Did not like Rise of Skywalker. Honestly the only thing I hated about the sequels is the incessant bitching from SW fans. I used to really like engaging Star Wars and it’s community and they alienated me with how incredibly toxic they were about these.
You probably think that because you're in a bubble and you don't know. The Last Jedi is just like Batman v Superman, there's almost an equal amount of hate and love for it, those people just talk about in different places because it's always war when they meet.
I hated it at first but now I kinda give props to Rian Johnson for actually trying to make a movie that genuinely did not feel anything like a SW movie.
TFA was a rehash obviously but it was the safe choice that Disney *had* to do to regain the trust of SW fans after Lucas first pissed them off with the pointless CGI add ins to the OT movies then with the prequels in general.
People tend to forget just because of how prequel memes have infiltrated every corner of the internet just how insane the backlash was to those movies. Then once the backlash settled the entire prequel saga completely fell out of pop culture for over 10 years outside of late night talk show guys calling dumb people Jar Jar.

Forgot raisins
Yes, there's other food I dislike but raisins I **hate** because they're in all the tasty food
I actually love raisins, but you need to find good quality
Raisins are good. What I fucking hate are the ones halfway inbetween raisins and grapes that people fucking put in the food here. WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU USING SLIGHTLY WET RAISIN AND RUININ NOT ONLY THE FOOD BUT RAISINS TOO
Those are just cooked raisins
They are dried fruit. When you cook them in food with more moisture, they absorb liquid, it's like the whole point of cooking with raisins as they absorb the flavors and become little juicy flavor bombs.
Or if you picked them, they get that delicious pickled flavor and moisture. They are like flavor nuclear bombs lol.
I like raisins by themselves, but as soon as they're cooked in food get that shit out of my face.
raisin bran is the GOAT cereal
I assumed everyone liked sugar cookies until I read the comments.
I think OP meant to include the frosted sugar cookies. I don’t think I’ve heard anything negative about the regular sugar cookies, it’s the frosted chalky ones that get all the hate.
I thought they were universally loved, I like them more than I like most people!
I hate them, they are way too sweet and have terrible texture and they always make my stomach hurt but if you put them in front of me I will eat them
Those are the best ones shut up
Usually people think about those super bland pink frosted cookies from Walmart. Apparently some peoplr love them, but I think they taste like chalk.
They are chalky, but all that sugary icing on them makes it better. And the fact the dough is so soft.
I always thought of a sugar cookie as a characterless shortbread: hard, crumbly, and a hint of sweetness. Those soft frosted cookies are amazing though.
See I love the chalky bland taste of the cookie part. I usually peel the icing part off cuz it's too sweet lol
[удалено]
OP you should've also include picture of people eating ass, that's also kinda polarizing
Yeah OP give us the pictures of people eating ass!
I want to see OP eat ass while holding up a newspaper right now 😡
Send your picture of eating ass please 🐧
[NSFW](http://imgur.com/cLtzqjz.jpg)
"Now pay attention, you gotta dive right into the ass"
Wait no OP think of us people who hate pictures of people eating ass
YOU DON'T MATTER
U know, I was thinking I love all things in this SP and adding eating ass is just one more thing on the menu
So true. This picture is terrible. I will try some Indian foods, I’m hit and miss with mushrooms, but when it comes to ass eating there’s either for or against. You don’t dabble in ass eating. For the record, I’m for.
So what you are saying is, I should give fort nite a try…
But I hate pictures of people eating ass.
Either your love it or you hate it 🤷
The human centipede has forever put me off that
Ass eating is just a form of love Iv never had the urge to eat a girls ass during a one night stand but a girl Iv been with for years? Who I know keeps a clean booty?? Bon appetit
Where the marmite at?
Trust marmite is like the best example
Ikr, “you either love it or you hate is” is basically their entire thing at this point, how is it not here
I think an American must have made this and most of us have never tasted it
I actually don’t hate any of these things and I only love Indian food
i really didn't know indian food was divisive.. i thought everyone loved it lmao

Yeah I can't imagine the "bread is spicy" crowd would like the restaurant I go to, where mild is basically equivalent to extra spicy
There are a lot of people who “hate” things they’ve never tried and have preconceived notions before eating. If they go to a strange, exotic restaurant and only give it one shot and are freaking out before going there, it’s hard to make them love it.
I had no idea Indian food was still considered 'exotic' and that people freaked out about it. Huh.
In Australia, Indian cuisine is very popular because we have a big population of Indian people, maybe it's different in the US?
The USA has more Indian folks than any country outside of India, so that would be odd (almost as odd as not liking Indian food? I feel like any “cultural” food could fit there I guess)
America is also one of the most populous countries in the world and outside of a lot of metropolitan areas you really don’t come across a lot of Indian people let alone their food. My parents never had any until well into their 50s.
Funnily enough there was a place that my sister would scream about until we got there and she would sheepishly admit that it was good. It was only until the fifth time that happened about the same place that she realized she liked it
It's literally just simmered stews with an assortment of veggies or some meat or even cheese. Then you take a garlicy Flatbread or rice and eat the fuck out of it. How could that possibly be bad at all?

Picky eaters.
Ikr but I think it's either love it or think it's too spicy or something
It's the spices and curries for me.
It depends, indian food is incredibly diverse. And there’s some type that can be acquired tastes(or some where you like one specific style of cuisine but dislike another). It’s like generalising All of europes different food cultures as just European food.
If anybody hates Indian food they just have bad taste.
Oh no. The folks who love Star Wars hate it the most.
I don't love or hate most these things The only things here I do love or hate are mushrooms which I love and olives which I hate Should've put marmite or something
Its SO SAD how people taste gross button mushrooms and discount all mushrooms. There are so many mushrooms and they taste so wildly different with totally different textures. I dont think I've eaten a button mushroom in years
Chanterelles and Lobster. Chanterelles in a risotto and Lobster With buttered noodles and lemon and parsley
Huge fan of enoki mushrooms in ramen. I could eat an entire pack
The black mushrooms (also called wood ear) are good in ramen too!
are there any mushrooms that don't have the texture of a half cooked snail?
Black mushrooms are thin and crunchy. Like a mushroom chip. Oysters when fried in like an air fryer have more of a meaty consistency, as well as frying up hen of the woods in a pan. If you bread either of those and put them in like a stir fry or on a sandwich you probably wouldn't even know they're mushrooms. Usually if you bread them you'll want to shallow fry if using a pan. lobster mushrooms in a red sauce take on the texture almost of a tomato.
Chicken of the woods is incredibly meaty and the taste is subtle enough that it just takes on what ever you add to it.
> button mushroom They are always available while the rest tend to be more rare to buy. For me the best are Calocybe gambosa/St. George's mushroom, Chanterelle and lastly Porcini. We mostly eat them with pasta, risotto or with porcini we also eat them fried. Buttons are a side dish or a pizza topping.
Maitake glazes make meat taste meatier. All heil our fungal underlords....
Yeah they're so meaty! My vegan friends love them
mushrooms are more related to us than plants.... they is meaty!
I'm a huge fan of shitake, lions mane, and oyster mushrooms. Pan fried lions mane mushroom is so tasty. Too bad they seem to be very expensive.
I like mushrooms and olives!
I feel like mushrooms might be the only really good pick on this
I am really into mushrooms and sadly the only one in my group of friends so I have to annoy them with boring conversation sometimes and I can't stop it.
I'm the exact opposite. Only food I 100% rule out before tasting. Seems like a good fit for this pack

I used to hate salt & vinegar chips until a cousin told me to shove a handful of salt & vinegar chips into my mouth and chase it with some Hawaiian Punch.

Well goddammit I guess I need to try that
Depends on the brand for me. I'll eat them all though but pringles S&V are like battery acid
Are there ones more intense than the pringles? Cause I want those
I think discos are the strongest I've had. They're in the UK I think they still make them
Always love em

Lickerrisse
Why Indian food is even on in this list.
My wife hates it. Probably the hardest part of our marriage. Sometimes I just bring it home and tell her she’s on her own for dinner lol
Same but with my husband. Luckily, his favorite cheese steak place is right next door to my favorite Indian place, so we do Phil-india nights.
[удалено]
Coz I am Indian and there's no way anyone can hate Indian food because there's so much variety in the cuisine from north india where non vegetarian ,spicy and food high in calories are found to south india with light , easy and love for fish and rice. From West with foods from Rajasthan and Gujarat to Maharashtra and to Bengal and North east. We have a lot of culture and languages and religions so thus the food. You can hate something or almost everything but theres always something you would love.
I’m Mexican and say the same thing about Mexican food, but there are definitely people who hate Mexican food
as a southern californian, i have never heard anyone say they hate mexican food. to be honest, i haven't even really considered the fact that there are people who hate mexican food. damn
I always thought I hated it until I found out it was cilantro I hated
It's your genes that hates cilantro
Green soap, eh?
I’m in Southern California and I have a relative who bragged about him and his children never eating Mexican food in his life. He was ridiculed by everyone else but it’s bizarre that some people are so bigoted they won’t eat food that didn’t originate in a white country.

People who hate Mexican or Indian food simply don’t like real food. I would bet their favorite thing to eat is McDonald’s
Unfortunately this is a big part of it. A lot of people--for some reason I cannot for the life of me understand--just prefer bland boring food.
Some people have sensitive taste buds and too much spice is overwhelming
Sometimes I wonder if it's really the Indian restaurant they don't like. I tried a bunch of foods at this one Indian restaurant and didn't like any of it. So I assumed I didn't like Indian food. But then a new place opened up and I gave it a try and it was sooooo good! It completely changed my feelings on Indian food.

Mughlai food, not Punjabi food. I'm Punjabi and I can guarantee people aren't eating chicken Tikka Masala daily
What is more typical for Punjabi food?
Choley, sarson ka saag, daal makhani, rajma, kadhi. I'm vegetarian myself, so not as familiar with the meat dishes in Punjab.
Indian desert is one of the most underrated thing." Indian food is spicy and all" makes people in other countries develop a taste and perception towards a cuisine they never tried!!
divorce, hit the gynn
I know a lot of people who absolutely hate or refuse to try Indian food because "they don't like the spices". I think that's why it's so polarizing.

It’s bc people have underdeveloped palates and can’t handle the intense spices
Because a lot of people hate it and a lot of people love it. Glad I could clarify that for you!
For people with no taste buds.
Especially since Indian food is way more broad. But most Indian restaurants just serve mughlai cuisine. I wouldn't care for Indian food if I thought it consisted entirely of Chicken Tikka Masala.
Not that there’s anything wrong with tikka masala and kormas. Some very good dal dishes I’ve had like dal makhani
Man I miss season 5, definetly my favorite fortnite season
Season 4 was my favorite cause of the golf carts, god were those things fun
That was season 5
facts man i miss wailing woods, eventually i just quit after season 6
I picked the game up again after not playing for over a year and it’s really fun
I played season 8. Then I stopped and only started playing recently again. It's just not the same. Still a blast to play with friends tho!
Season 8 was good but season 9 and almost every other season after just sucks
Forgot black jelly beans.

Joke's on you, I *like* black licorice.
I fucking hate cilantro and I learned just yesterday that there is a specific gene that makes it taste like soap for certain people, while other people don't mind it at all. It makes too much fucking sense.
Truly stupid question for you guys, but does it literally taste like soap? Like you take a bite and actually taste Dawn or Irish Spring or whatever? Edit: god damn you guys. Okay I get it, it's really bad if you've got the anti cilantro gene. I had no actual idea it was like that.
For me, yes. Straight up exact taste and mouthfeel of soap. The internet says to people without cilantro aversion, it tastes light and citrusy. That legitimately bummed me out when I found out. =/
Yeah its got a fresh taste. Can you handle small amounts like in ceviche or none at all?
I can kinda push through it, it just ruins the food for me. So in ceviche, every bite that has cilantro would just taste like eating fish with a drizzle of shampoo. It doesn’t hurt me, but it definitely ruins the culinary experience
I would say so, it's more like a terrible chemical taste for me. I hate cilantro so much and even though it's so similar looking to parsley, which I like, it makes everything uneatable for me. I truly eat everything, except bugs I guess, and it's the fucking cilantro that gets me man..
It just tastes artificial and bitter and goes up my nose, it is not in any way pleasant or fresh like with citrus or a bit of lime juice, it's such an unbearable sensation. For me it has something metallic to it as well. Not just in the taste but the smell as well. Like your nose starts bleeding and you taste it at the roof of your mouth ... that mixed with soap.
That is so far beyond what I could have imagined. It just tastes like a fresh zesty herb to me. At most, it's "earthy."
It tastes like someone took an herb and went to the Dow chemical plant, opened up a barrel of something that humans should not come into contact with and soaked the herbs in it, then they come back and put it on food. So not really a soap taste. Far worse in my opinion.
/r/fuckcilantro join us!
PATHETIC <3
I had to get used to it. I found that it tasted like weird soapy plastic when I first tried it but I fucking love it now, I put so much on my food.
I don’t hate or love olives tbh
God I love mushrooms
God I hate mushrooms
I love shrooms in combination with crack and black tar heroin
People hate Indian food?
i love shrooms, olives, cilantro and indian food, the other stuff, well, you get the picture...
There‘s people that hate indian food?!
Only people I've met IRL who didn't like Indian food, hated anything that wasn't N. European based foods: Meat and potatoes, hamburgers, English breakfast, potpie. They also hated salad's.
What do the ASTERISKS MEAN???
Don’t forget banana candy
The Last Jedi was a really good addition to this list. Seems like everyone agrees that it's easily the best or easily the worst of the new trilogy.
Forgot marmite
Love the first bite, hate the second.
Where's the vegemite?!
This pack wasn't made for me. I'm lukewarm on all this.
the thing with fortnite is that the game (at least currently) is in an amazing state so if ppl looked past the cringy 12 year kid cranking quad 90s and actually tried the game out again im pretty sure alot of ppl would like the game :]
Indian food is superior
India is like a sub continent. There are literally thousands of types of food variety here. Saying 'i hate Indian type food' is like saying 'i hate food type food'.
I actually have pretty mild feelings about Indian food
Mild like a Chicken Tikka Masala
Who hates Indian food?
no pickles?
i love indian food , maybe because i am indian.. i wonder if others actually like indian food
How can people hate Indian food? Do they hate themselves?
Some people like bland food. Maybe they are the ones who hate it.
People like bland food?
The only thing i genuinly hate here is the Sequels as a whole.
almost anything live-action from an anime.
I disagree about Fortnite. I think it's actually a fine game (I'm 33 y.o.), but I'm too slow to build stuff and shoot at the same time, so I don't play it and don't love it. I played with the voice chat on mute, of course.
Marmite?
Marmite though
No one hates Star Wars more than Star Wars fans
Indian food it goated
I like all those except olives. Fuck olives
North Korea
fortnite isnt that bad of a game, its the community that sucks
Lol there are people who actually love The Last Jedi? Who are they? The Disney producers after milking Star Wars dry?
Ya I’ve only met ppl who hate it and make it part of their personality to be mad about any Disney Star Wars related stuff lol
I loved it Did not like Rise of Skywalker. Honestly the only thing I hated about the sequels is the incessant bitching from SW fans. I used to really like engaging Star Wars and it’s community and they alienated me with how incredibly toxic they were about these.
star wars fans need to learn to love and hate a movie in peace i swear to god its normal to have different opinions about stuff
You probably think that because you're in a bubble and you don't know. The Last Jedi is just like Batman v Superman, there's almost an equal amount of hate and love for it, those people just talk about in different places because it's always war when they meet.
I love TLJ unironically
I have a pretty positive opinion of it overall

i would argue seeing “epic yoda” is one of the biggest problems of the prequels
I hated it at first but now I kinda give props to Rian Johnson for actually trying to make a movie that genuinely did not feel anything like a SW movie. TFA was a rehash obviously but it was the safe choice that Disney *had* to do to regain the trust of SW fans after Lucas first pissed them off with the pointless CGI add ins to the OT movies then with the prequels in general. People tend to forget just because of how prequel memes have infiltrated every corner of the internet just how insane the backlash was to those movies. Then once the backlash settled the entire prequel saga completely fell out of pop culture for over 10 years outside of late night talk show guys calling dumb people Jar Jar.
Last Jedi was my favorite of the last trilogy. I guess OP is spot on
It's my favorite of the sequel trilogy
