Things that annoy you

And also,

Female Japanese voice acting. Especially when they're crying. It's impossible to bear, really. I've no idea how or more importantly why they scream so incredibly high. That said, it's not all crap, I've seen some good female Japanese VAs, but it's like, 5% of them.

Edit: I mean, usually I always try to experience any kind of content in its original language, so when the multi-language patch dropped for Breath of the Wild I was totally down to play it in Japanese, but holy mother of god Zelda's voice is the absolute worst. Never mind all you English Zelda haters, you've no idea how annoying she can be in another language! Ultimately I did finish the whole game in Japanese but damn I'm definitely never coming back to it. I hoped her voice would grow on me over time (as the English one did), but nope, still annoying me brutally all the way to the end. It's particularly sad because the voice acting is really cool other than Yunobo and her, but since Zelda's in pretty much every cutscene I just couldn't bear with it. English all the way for me.

Seriously I remember watching Fullmetal and then going to a different anime. Having to hear a teenage/older woman shout out "kawaii samaaaaa" with a pitch that borderlines earrape pisses me off. Who actually finds that appealing? I get some women have high-pitched voices, but it's ridiculously overblown

Slow drivers or slow walkers in a store. People who go the speed limit don't bother me.

Mosquitoes.

Hot weather.

Baseless arrogance.

Duck face.

Exaggeration.

People who are constantly offended.

People who fixate on their identity.

Entitlement.

 

 

 

Yeah arrogance bothers me too, along with the offended part (both of which are seen more often nowadays). It really sucks because some people just can't be a bit more moderate and have to either be offended by absolutely everything or be an edgelord 100% of the time. 

The part on identity confuses me though. Do you mean people constantly focused on the way others think of them?

What about feminists? I work in a room with nothing but women... starting to get the hate for feminists and honestly women in general. 

No offense but you aren't much better. It's easy to just go ahead and hate all (blank) but you gotta be a better person and realize there are too many humans to believe in such broad generalizations,especially against half the population.

I had a class once and sat w/ some girls who were...far from saints, and it annoyed. However, I just stayed calm and chose to not put too much thought into it. I'd recommend it honestly - the rotten apple will always stick out more due to it being different than the others, right? Gotta keep that mindset and realize the majority of feminists, women, and any other group will have flawed people. It isn't fair to hate them all.

The problem with that is that the people who often make the most common mistakes and constantly repeat them are usually the native speakers

 Yeah I get making a typo - we've all been there. However, the amount of poor spelling and grammar on social media (especially Facebook) makes me hate myself.

People who misuse appeal to moderation (not as in forum moderation but the argument type). In many cases the best choice is the middle, that much is true but some people (ironically) take this to the extreme and base their arguments or even worldview on being moderate.

This line of thinking makes no sense and even irrational, for example, if I am telling a lie and someone else is telling the truth then by appealing to moderation then you are still accepting a lie. Most people would find racism to be abhorrent; being anti-racist is an extremist position since moderation would require somehow a compromise to those who want to be racist.

Please, take some time to learn each side before deciding which position to take, take the moderate position if there's some logic behind it and not because you think being a moderate grants you moral superiority. It will make your arguments better and it will make me very happy : ).                             

Yeah people need to stop with the "bah both sides!" nonsense. If someone in the 1700's said "yeah we shouldn't have slaves, but we shouldn't give blacks rights to be fair to both sides", would he be considered a good person? No, he wouldn't. This type of thinking is used too often and I believe it's because people don't want to be criticized. If people always tried to appeal to others, then figures such as Malcolm X would've never existed

No, I  mean the people who are obsessed with their own identity and issues related to it. Like a gay person who crafts their whole life into a reflection of their sexuality. A person like that takes any discussion about it very personally and will conflate it as an attack on them if it's challenged. They'll only want to see things through only that facet of themselves or that lens. People do this with their race, religious beliefs, hobbies, sexuality, political beliefs and practically anything they like a little too much. The sum of a person is much more than their identity or one aspect of themselves.
