Who you callin’ Pinhead?

@Don’t  
No you don’t

@Sparx  
Oooooooh…

@LightningBolt  
We’re allowed to express opposite opinions. If someone says something, expect another person to say the exact opposite.

@Penguin Dragneel  
Yeah, and so am I.

At least half the time critics get on artists’ case for “not evolving their sound” or “sounding the same as they did in [X year],” it’s BS.

@LightningBolt  
I never said you couldn’t. I just said to expect the exact opposite opinion to pop up.

@TheHappySpaceman  
If Ben Diskin sounded exactly like he did on Hey Arnold, we wouldn’t have gotten the magnificant dub voice of Joseph.
 
“NIIIIICE!”

@Penguin Dragneel  
I… was talking about music artists, though?

@TheHappySpaceman  
It can also apply to actors. Especially kid actors.

@Penguin Dragneel  
But that’s… I think you misunderstood what I was saying?

@Penguin Dragneel  
Then anyone who says they dislike things I like, ior lieks things I dislike should expect to get an opinion from me every time, right?

@TheHappySpaceman  
Nah, I understood what you meant. I just thought it also applied to actors.

@LightningBolt  
You’re free to express disagreement over the opinion. Just don’t be a #### about it.

@Penguin Dragneel  
That applies to anyone.
 
I’m not exactly sure your point of starting this as all it did was prove my feelings true.

I hate how it seems like you can’t find any middle ground on any opinions or anything. Like you NEED to be on one end or the other regarding something.
 
(Yes this includes politics too)

@icey wicey 1517
 
Sure does seem like it sometimes.

@icey wicey 1517  
Holy crap, I’ve said the same thing. It’s so annoying. Like, why does acknowledging that there are flaws with capitalism automatically mean you want a society like Soviet Russia? That’s the black and white fallacy.
 
TBH, I think that people who act this way probably just don’t have any good counterarguments and want to shut people down quickly.

@TheHappySpaceman  
tbh it’s the same with disagreeing with more liberal policies too with people somehow thinking you are a facist or something.
 
And i’ve seen this outside of politics too, mostly fandom related things as well (like the the arguments if the pre or post alicorn twilight MLP seasons are better or worse then the other)

@icey wicey 1517  
tbf there are certain social or political issues that dont technically have a middle ground and trying to create a middle ground on them will end up giving ammo to one side over the other. Not every single issue, but certainly quite a few.
 
But as a general yeah there is a bit too much of people thinking you have to take one side or the other especially in regards to media.

@TheHappySpaceman  
People dont understand that Social Democrats, Anarchists, Democratic Socialists, Syndicalists etc. exist which leads them to think that everyone who hates capitalism is just some Stalinist in disguise. And lots of people cant see through the countless amounts of “murica is s00pa free n gr8” shit that gets drilled into their brains.

Fair point
