Line 15:
** Amiga vs. Macintosh, which is almost as old.
*** Versus Mac, hell! Try "original Amiga" (i.e. running the original OS on stock or souped-up original Amiga hardware) versus any or all of the "next-gen" alternatives (Amiga [[OS 4]], AROS, or [[Morph OS]].) (Or, even ''more'' acrimoniously, any of the "next-gen" systems versus ''each other.'')
** [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/DAZ_Studio:DAZ Studio|DAZ|Studio]] against [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/:Poser |Poser]] Just drop in on any related forum and ask which one is better - in seconds you will have a flame war that will burn for weeks.
*** For extra fun, go to any forum that supports CG modeling and bring up either.
*** There's a running war on [[Deviant ART]] to try and have art made with Poser/DAZ|Studio separated from scratch-made models.
Line 62:
* On a certain unnamed [[Image Board]], a good way to start a flame war is to bring up the practice of circumcision. And if you think that's not enough, add in a preference for cut/uncut. Yay s'mores!
** Not just on that certain image board. Mentioning circumcision virtually anywhere on the internet is bound to start a huge [[Flame War]] debate.
* In the [[Troper IRC Channel]], the channel's topic often advises against discussing religion or [[Faster -Than -Light Travel]]. There is a very good reason for this.
* 1. Go into LJ's egl comm or any [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]] forum. 2. Mention brand replicas (bonus points if you bring up Bodyline). 3. Sit back, hit F5, and enjoy the fireworks.
* Disney: Toons vs Tweens. State that [[The Disney Afternoon|90s Disney cartoons]] like ''[[Duck Tales (Animation)|Duck Tales]]'', ''[[Goof Troop (Animation)|Goof Troop]]'', ''[[Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers (Animation)|Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers]]'', ''[[Tale Spin (Animation)|Tale Spin]]'', ''[[Recess]]'', ''[[Bonkers (Animation)|Bonkers]]'' or any other shows that were on when 'you-were-a-kid' that you can think of, are way better than the tween crap that Disney spouts now. Fans of ''[[Hannah Montana]]'', ''[[Wizards of Waverly Place]]'', ''[[The Suite Life of Zack and Cody]]'' and other recent non-toon live-action productions will have a fit. People who agree with the statement will bash Eisner relentlessly, whether what's being discussed has anything to do with him or not.
Line 80:
* [[Original Character|Original Characters]] in any fanfic is a good way to start a fire at any imageboard. [[Deviant ART]] is a primary source of firewood.
* Speaking of [[Deviant ART]], the use of bases. Are they a useful tool for developing your artistic technique, or are they cheating, lazy, theft of other people's hard work and "not really your own work?"
* [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagnostic_and_Statistical_Manual_of_Mental_Disorders:Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders|The DSM]], and whether it's valid with regards to alternative sexuality. If you're not familiar with the debate; homosexuality used to be in it. Now it's not. Gender Identity Disorder, however, still is. You see how controversy could arise.
** Or, more generally, go to [[Granola Girl|certain]] [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_constructionism:Social constructionism|people]] and assert that ''any'' mental illness ''exists''.
** Autism: whether it should be accepted or cured, what causes it, and Autism Speaks, a nonprofit foundation which either wants to help autistics or is a bunch of Nazis trying to wipe them out.
* Whether it's possible to have a [[Depraved Homosexual]], [[Depraved Bisexual]], or [[Psycho Lesbian]] ''without'' it being [[Unfortunate Implications]], ever.
