Anything about Dark Souls in general, most Dark Souls fans are terrible human beings.

Tachyon

I mean, you guys seem alright to talk to about Dark Souls stuff. but in general 90% of Dark Souls fans are terrible. 

Imipolex G

console wars, yes, definitely

Odradek

D&D edition wars

Tachyon

why bronies are bad/not bad

Sex Grips

Anything where #brand loyalists clash.

They're corporations. They don't deserve your dedication.

that's not a debate, Miko-chan.

Miss Miko Mayonegg

It's the ultimate debate.

Tachyon

heapers are not the ultimate anything

Salix Babylonika

we're the ultimate in all your heaping needs

Imipolex G

we boldly heap where no one has heaped before

Obā-san

we are an elite team of shitposters, feared and renowned the world over

which of the gas giants is most fuckable

vi vs emacs

pretty much any programming debate, but especially ones where $MY_FAVORITE_LANG will solve all your problems and make you pizza if you just give it a chance

well Jupiter does have that red hole but on the other hand Saturn's rings are probably good for grabbing on to.

Meowth, that's right!

I think I may have a few to add to the list. I am totally fine with people expressing their opinions on these topics, I just dislike when they are phrased in such a way to make it seem like a certain opinion is wrong and another one right, since there is a good bit of subjectivity to them.

FMA vs. FMA: Brotherhood

Melee vs. Brawl

Debates about the cause of anime's "decline" ("moe shows" usually come up)

OOUUUHHH, ZIS IS BAD

sonic anime

mostly i just never want to have to acknowledge its existence again, much less debates about it

Salix Babylonika

i wish we could just wait for the one in five Sonic game that is actually good instead of the internet constantly going into this weird dance whenever one is announced where people are simultaneously hyped for no reason and also bitterly sure it's going to be literally the worst game ever made

MissUtilis

I remember when I first saw the Sonic Cycle image in 2008

In the years since I have come to loathe the thing

Bee

Just about everything since 2006 has ranged playable to genuinely good at least.  Still got a ways to go before it reaches Mario's reliability though.

On that note, bickering over Sunshine.

Ghostbusters II. 'Nuff said.

• "Why doesn't Batman just kill the Joker?"
  
• "What does Mr. Fantastic keep from humanity?"
  
• "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex."
  
• "Why do they keep Hawkeye around?"
  
• "Why does Professor X like to watch teenagers sweat?"

The reasons I hate all of these goddamn things is that these things are likely all older than all of us. You'd think that being 30+ years old would stop people from asking these goddamn stupid questions.

Hillary vs Bernie. For a lot of reasons, but mainly because Hillary isn't even really campaigning yet (in the sense of publicly making speeches or other big, visible moves anyway)--she's mostly just doing quiet behind-the-scenes stuff, meeting donors and setting up infrastructure. There's really not a lot to talk about yet besides rehashing the same stuff over and over again.

(Granted, this is because I hang out on a politics forum and it gets repetitive and derails threads a lot. Just like any other fandom.)

Miss Miko Mayonegg

I fail to understand why people are still following Sonic. Sometime in the mid-2000s it should have been plainly obvious that Sega didn't care very much anymore.

Aliroz

Because the sonic games are fun and I enjoy them, Miko.

Same reason you care about Touhou.

Obā-san

au where touhou has the sonic fandom and sonic has the touhou fandom

Miss Miko Mayonegg

The difference is that every single Touhou game is really good, and Team Shanghai Alice puts a lot of care into it.
