Would it be a hot take to wish people would stop associating Tiny Tim's covers with creepy things? I get that he was very unusual, but a lot of it just feels so disrespectful.
I don't know, it's probably me being very annoyed with Tim being associated with spooky scary stuff anymore.

I wasn't even aware his songs were associated with that sort of thing, I only associate him with Spongebob cause of that song in the pilot.
Am I the only one who didn't particularly care that Roxanne wasn't in An Extremely Goofy Movie? Yeah, she's sweet and I know that her lack of presence in the sequel does negate some of the original movie's heart/soul, but like...it's a high school relationship so does it matter all that much?
SeventhRing I locked it due to OP's request, not because it was breaking any rules. So I'm gonna unlock this unless there's serious derailment or OP wants it locked.

My bad. I thought we were getting rid of negativity on the forums. Old habit from moderating servers lol
I'm nothing but a mass of concrete yet my heart is calling my name

That gives me another hot take (don’t take it personally): I don’t think it’s a good idea to do that personally. Let me explain.
I understand wanting to not have the forums turn into a cesspool of negativity and all, and wanting to spread positivity, but I feel like getting rid of all negativity on this thread is only gonna make things much worse, like I don’t know if locking stuff like “The Godfather thread”, this one, or any thread where people can sorta just get their feelings off their chest is a good way to go about it.
Obviously I know some people (the OP) later decide they want the thread locked, and that’s fine. Just getting that out of the way, but theres also a point where we just have to accept that negativity is a part of life, people should be able to voice how they feel in threads appropriate for that, and if we get rid of those, then they might start doing it in threads that are meant to be solely positive, if that makes any sense. This would actually make the problem worse. Much worse.
And besides, not everyone has a therapist they can talk to about it. Not everyone has someone in real life that they can talk to, period. I feel like getting rid of all negativity takes that outlet away from them, because this could be their only outlet at all.
Obviously no Ill-will behind anything I said to either of you guys or any mods in general, it’s just a concern more than anything. I probably worded it like shit too lmfao, but hopefully I at least got my point across, and uh… yeah.

I was only locking cause of muscle memory. I do think we need a place to let users get stuff out, but I do worry someone is going to post some genuinely worrying shit like a manifesto.

Just to add my two cents here, the lost media forums are also not a good alternative to therapy. I know you didn't mean it that way, but we're all strangers on the internet with our own personal lives and struggles. I don't have the means to play counselor within every individual thread, nor do a lot of people have the sensitivity or patience.
Of course I'm fine with this thread because who doesn't like to gripe about things? I literally realized the other day my friend and I were having a Seinfeld type argument over how tipping culture has gotten out of hand.
But back to my point, this should be a place where you feel positive about what you're doing, and free to express yourself. Yet, this is not a place where one can get the help they need for their mental health.
My sister chose to be a therapist, and I do not envy the gargantuan amount of emotional labor involved in her line of work. Can't do it. Maybe that's why I'm currently in academia lol.

I used to spend time talking strangers out of suicide on stuff like discord and it is Hell. So anyone reading this, please get real help through a hotline or if you can, counseling or therapy. Talk to a family member or friend, not a stranger online. Sorry we had to give a PSA, especially in the Hot Take Thread, but, people need to hear it. Help is always available. Carry on people.

As someone who recently got into anime-style BJD's. I sometimes like the popular resin eye look but I wish to see more of the flat 2D eyes which seems to be not as favored in the community.
For an example. I do find some Dollfie Dream dolls beautiful but that semi-realstic style doesn't look good on some characters. I lean more towards the cartoony style like PureNeemo dolls.
