""The Internet has brainwashed these teenagers, to the point where that's all they talk about when they're not on it. If only this wasn't accurate...""

- YourMovieSucks, Megan is Missing review

""[...] [T]he film went above and beyond the typical aspects of propaganda with its overbearing self-importance and pomposity, acting as if FIFA single-handedly saved the human race from extinction and is thus the hero of humanity that deserves endless praise and glory. It was like a cry for help masquerading as a shiny medal of honor; a film functioning as a massive ego-boost first and propaganda second.""

- jwworthy, IMDb review of "United Passions"

""Their catch phrase for EOS Online is "For the MMORPG that you've lost." The only thing that I have lost while testing this game is interest.""

- Vladimir Putin (translated), Putin's 15 years: A presidential retrospective (RT)

""The most pressing analogy I hold to heart is how Britain stands with mouth a-gawp as it gets progressively fatter and iller, yet remains defiantly opposed to designing streets that people feel safe to ride bicycles on, and continues to let its populated areas be designed in the image of nutritionally-vacuous, big-brand food and drink. As waistlines expand, obesity becomes 'normalised', and solutions drift further and further outside society's collective imagination.""

""The NFL, Price is Right, WWE, most major TV networks across the nation are "going pink" to "spread awareness." Horseshit. You give no fucks about helping victims of breast cancer, you just make it seem like you do. You go pink for October, and then...NOTHING. Not a single mention of it until the following year. All you give a fuck about is how your company is viewed. You want to be "hip" and "cool." You're not. Ironically, by saying you care for a while, and then not care for the rest of the time, shows you really don't care at all. You'd be better off not taking a stance on it at all.""

"''"My five-year-old son just got a trophy for soccer. I was as pleased as any father could be, and I pulled him on my lap, and praised him. Then I figured out everyone got a trophy. All my praise turned to lies in my mouth. I could not unsay what I had just said to a five-year-old. I could not tell him that this trophy was meaningless.

''I could not tell him to try his best, either, because the reward was the same for his best as for his worst.

''My other son quit the team before the season ended, and the coach wanted to give him a trophy in any case. I was revolted by the idea, deeply offended.

They are trying to make my sons into little, weak, selfish, puling nonentities: boys who will cry if they do not get the same reward for hard work as for goofing off. Boys who will grow up to think life is unfair unless they are handed everything they never earned on a silver platter. I cannot regard this attempt with anything but a deep mistrust, bordering on hatred. Who are these people, and what do they have against my boys? Why are they trying to spoil them?""

- John C. Wright, If everyone is Super, no one will be

"''"Being pretty [as a girl] is great. The problem is that you can't stay pretty forever. In 20 years, a re-creation of [a club party with alcohol and friends] would look really, really sad.""

""It's a ColecoVision in a Jaguar shell, and I'm... Fuck, what the shit is going on?!""

""[Changes in modern media, compared to old works, make] the story reflect the sensibilities of a modern audience. Fiction is [a] product of culture, and culture is a product of circumstance. Our circumstances now are not the same as they were in classical times, so neither is our culture and neither is our fiction.""

- MrBtongue, Tasteful, Understated Nerdrage: Genre vs. Literature

""''[...] [H]old managers accountable for mismanagement. Any manager who leads his team into a death march has failed his employees, his superiors, and his company's investors. He has not done the job he was hired to do, which is to deploy the company's resources intelligently and profitably. We've all been to those triumphant post-ship meetings where these so-called "leaders" got big praise and a bigger bonus check as a reward for wreaking havoc on the health and personal lives of their employees. That's a perverse feedback loop, which perpetuates an abusive system. Any manager who put her team through more than a month of pre-ship crunch to get the product out the door should be getting a pink slip, not a promotion.""

- Evan Robinson, It's Not Just Abusive, It's Stupid

""''[...] I'm a little flabbergasted by the existence of [the New 2015 Macbook]. And being real, that is partly because I know someone who I tried to convince not to buy this. "It doesn't make any sense," I said to them. ''...And they bought it anyway. ...And it hurts my heart.""

- Riley Murdock (tongue-in-cheek, it's then revealed the person was his wife)

""It's like an art piece that shows us what Jimi Hendrix might have done if he had no talent or skill.""

- mactopus, on "Confused" by Kid Cudi

"''"Give a girl protection, she will be safe when you are around. Give a girl a lesson on how to protect herself, she will be safe even when you are not around. But women are supposed to be protected by men, so stick to the glorious Yamato Spirit and don't bother with it. -sighs-""

- dRoy, 'I must get stronger so that I can protect those I care about' trope (TV Tropes forum thread)

""TV Tropes is filled with anti-intellectualism, horribly shallow "analysis" that often misses the point by a mile, a moratorium on expressing critical thought, enforced fake positivity that makes the Stepford Wives look normal by comparison, pedophilia, and disgusting insular attitudes that make all of the above possible.""

- Dr. O, Television Tropes & Idiots (Project A.F.T.E.R. editorial)

"''"[...] [I]t's always been quite odd, the way Anita supporters view her detractors as people who simply refuse to think critically about games. That view does not reflect reality. Gamergate supporters and even those who aren't pro-GG, but who simply disagree with Anita tend to be the ones who have a vested interest in games. They tend to be the ones who have played games all their lives, grew up with them, laughed and cried and learned a great deal with them. Most have at least basic knowledge about how and why games are designed the way they are. And, on the other side of the field, I'd say that it's Anita supporters who tend to not think critically of games. More often than not, they look at games at a very superficial level, latching on to short segments taken out of context, or character designs without looking at who the characters actually are. We don't rail against Anita because we're afraid she's right. In the same way people aren't against Trump because they're afraid he's right. It's just a silly distortion of reality. ""
