The whole HAES (healthy at every size) and whole fat acceptance movement that these fat liberals have latched onto like flies around shit. I'm all for being comfortable in your own skin but don't try to pretend that your rolls are 'curves', Marilyn Monroe was curvy you look more like the Michelin Man or that men are just 'shallow' for not wanting to date you.

instagram makeup. you all look like drag queens. let it die.

fake femininity. i know yall have seen it. on the blogs and youtube videos. these women posing in ways to appear more feminine. i would prefer women just naturally be feminine and stop with the cosplay.

fat people. i am all for healthy women of different shapes (banana, pear, hourglass) and sizes (petite, tall, average, athletic) encouraging body acceptance but my god, how is a size 22 woman healthy? or beautiful? it's laziness. it's addiction. it's depression. it's NOT RIGHT. lose weight in 2017.

Being 'Triggered' . I hate it so much, partly because I know it is a valid description of a thing in mental health, but is just completely misused.

Tattoos on women being fashionable. I'm sure there are many good ones, but I only see trashy ones :(

Garlic salt on chips (fries). I do not want garlic breath on a date!

Really not a fan of all the 90s fashions (we gave up on then for a reason!) being a trend. Chokers, color palates that are so boring, and tom boy dressing. On the same note, dressing like Kim K or whoever, wearing skin tight crop tops/pencil skirts has got to go.

Matte lipstick looks so gross, especially in shades that are trendy right now.

People (mainly younger people) need to stop referring to them selves as militant-"insert opinion here". All day I hear: I'm a militant atheist, I'm a militant feminist, I'm millitantly child free, but my personal favorite came from a friend of a friend FB: I'm a militant pacifist!... Oh honey...

People trying to one-down each other are pathetic and I don't understand why they do it. At least with one-upping, we can all be moving in the direction of greatness!

Being OK with lowering the bar, rather than raise it. Hoping to see the Make America Great Again sentiment turn this around.

I have most definitely griped about this before, but can Instagram just get over the “LOL I’m so lazy/gluttonous/poor and I 100% do not have my shit together LOLZ!” attitude? I’m so weary of memes that normalize and justify not only having bad spending, eating, and productivity habits, but also not doing anything about it.

I also really hate the “look at me, I’m adulting" trend (though I will confess, I am absolutely guilty of it). You don’t get a medal for paying your rent, putting on pants, or eating a vegetable, dude. Thanks to the internet and public libraries, it has literally never been easier to pay your bills online, teach yourself how to cook, and order cleaning supplies from Amazon. I love this article about it: Stop Taking Pride In Not Knowing How To Do Basic Shit

Tennis shoes and dresses are not meant to be worn together.

I'd love it if minions went away forever. They were kinda cute when I first saw them, but now they're everywhere. I'm done.

sthutton · 2017-01-11T16:01:22+00:00

Unpopular opinion time :) Square French tip nails. They look like chiclets. Also cringeworthy if nails are way too long

I would live to get rid of the "hating the president" trend. I was no fan of Obama, but I didn't talk bad, make fun of his supporters, post stupid comics, or get into violent Facebook discussions. I'm tired of seeing constant mockery and general nastiness towards the man that was chosen to lead our country. A little civility would be nice, you know?

iloveyoubabi · 2017-01-11T13:22:40+00:00

I would love this phase of "distressed" clothing to stop. It's so ridiculous; I often see jeans, jackets, and t-shirts with huge holes and rips and a "raw cut hem" that makes it look like a 5 year old with scissors invaded their closet.

I would also love if the pointy toed shoes trend would die down a little, because pointed toes are super uncomfortable and frankly, I don't think they look that great.

violetpiecrisis · 2017-01-11T23:27:49+00:00

Unmarried women referring to themselves as someone's "wifey" I don't know why this bothers me so much, but as a married woman (you know, someone's WIFE) it irritates me so much.

Face piercings in general look trashy to me, I'm ready for it to be over!

DIY everything. Let's not pretend I'm going to buy avocados out of season to smear on my head?

cherries13 · 2017-01-11T11:51:27+00:00

Ooh been looking forward to this thread!

One of my pet peeves is overly-highlighted faces, I'd see young girl my age walking around in broad daylight with ridiculously highlighted faces. Dont get me wrong the application is often flawless but it just looks so plastic and jarring. I think such severe highlighting should be reserved for special occasions!

Also would like to never see the term 'fukboi' again. It seems to be a popular derogatory term amongst the 18-23 (sometimes higher :S) age group describing a guy who is a player or an asshole, possibly someone who'd be known as the 'chad' archetype in RP terms. It's just seems so bizarre that people use this term unironically, and gives off a bit of a victim vibe from those using it.

Similar thoughts go for the popular twitter trend '#WasteHisTime2016' where girls post stories about how they waste guys' time, example: 'lead him on for a month and then never reply to his texts again'.

Will add more to this when I can remember all the others!

onacasserole · 2017-01-11T14:35:04+00:00

If I never see another flowy tunic top again I'll be happy.

sunfloweries · 2017-01-11T16:04:28+00:00

hmmm, i'm not bothered by a lot of things already posted! but one trend that could die is the obsession with whining and complaining and fighting about "this food isn't authentic!!!!!" on food gif/video sites. the complaining about how "this isn't a REAL philly cheesesteak!" or "italians would NEVER cook pasta this way!" ahhh, who CARES?!

but i also wish the trend of needlessly violent media would die out. game of thrones, westword, mr robot... it's all so unnecessary!

gabilromariz · 2017-01-11T12:38:46+00:00

TRends that I would love to never see again would be nose rings (I can't get over how much it looks like cattle), wearing sneakers with everything (I know they're comfy, but come on), posting bullshit sunsets with inspirational quotes (oh god how I hate those) and replacing babies with pets like giving a dog a human name, calling it "your baby" and dressing it up. Those women are mentally ill!

I could also do without all the brouhaha on american politics. People commenting on this bullshit have never been to the US or met a US citizen in person in most cases and it just gets to me that when it comes to our president/ministers, they don't even bother to vote or understand what's going on. (not that they do understand US politics, it's mostly just parroting the usual bullshit, but still)

I agree on being triggered - trigger warnings have got to go as well. I understand that certain things can set off people with real, genuine mental illness, and I feel for those people. But society cannot keep catering to the weak. You either adapt or you are left behind. Social Darwinism is a good thing that I feel people have tried to phase out. It needs to come back, hard.

Septum piercings. You look like a bull. I can't tell if I should shake a red cape at you or I use the ring as a door knocker before I speak to you.

2016 tried to redefine the words racism and sexism. Let's get back to what the words actually mean. Using them as a catch-all insult for someone you don't agree with diminishes the meaning of the word. Racism and sexism are real things, and when you say stupid things like "NOT BEING ATTRACTED TO BLACK PEOPLE IS RACIST" or "NOT BEING ATTRACTED TO TRANS PEOPLE IS SEXIST", you are making those words mean less. So, if you do this, congratulations. You helped us elect Trump, and millions of other voters including myself, thank you for it. You have yourself to blame for turning real problems into a joke.

Let's stop being fat. I know Michelle Obama tried to get kids to be healthier with her school lunch initiative, but it failed. That doesn't help with the millions of fat adults who are putting a huge drain on our overburdened healthcare system with all of the chronic conditions that could be treated or even reversed by just eating less and moving more.

Can we stop wearing underwear as clothing? I'm fully anticipating another summer of girls walking around wearing a bra and bloomers as an outfit, and it's gross. I don't even care if you're super fit, stop it! I know I have stronger views on modesty than most, but you can't be made when you get objectified and cat-called when you are literally inviting it - and YES, you are - by walking around in your skivvies.

Can I mention eyebrows again? No? OK. I won't. Just know that I'm still hating on powerbrows on the inside. And now the outside.

Let's work on some of that entitlement. Be nice to customer service people when you call, be pleasant to your server, don't throw around threats to escalate an issue while you're berating the poor barista who forgot to put whip on your latte. In fact, don't berate that barista. Every single person you talk to is a person with their own problems - you'll never get any taller by making someone else feel small.

Stop the obsession with labels - feminist, gay, trans, cis, black, queer, genderfluid, whatever stupid labels you can think of. They're a way of dividing people, and that's extremely stupid when you talk about wanting unity. Just be nice, treat everyone you meet like you want to be treated, and don't be a dick. How someone else lives their life is not your problem, so don't shit all over them for it. Ironic when I've bitched about all of these other things that bother me, right? Well, I'm not about to go tell a 300lb girl with a door knocker on her face that I think she needs to get on a treadmill take out the metal. Sure, I think her choices are dumb, but they're her choices. It's not affecting my life, just like my monogamous, heterosexual, relationship and desire to be married before having children that I intend to stay at home with will not affect hers in any way. We can think each other makes bad choices all day long, but that doesn't mean we can't get along and be kind to each other. And God dammit, you've got to be kind.

raisingrebelles · 2017-01-17T16:10:27+00:00

I skimmed so I'm not sure if this was mentioned but I want to see pastel dyed hair colors to stop. It started with celebs and has now trickled down to the low income morbidly obese women of the world. Please stop!

aTweetingBird · 2017-01-16T05:38:05+00:00

Encouraging femininity in boys. I'm all for encouraging sensitivity, but I saw a blog post about how awesome kids are these days because "boys can wear tutus!" Uh...how about no, Scott?

orangepeeling · 2017-01-15T22:52:47+00:00

This is pretty nitpicky but the term "self care." I've seen it a lot on social media last year and my friends are all picking it up. I work a stressful shift work job and my one friend always tells me "I hope you're practicing self care on your days off."

It just seems way too fluffy for me. I mean yeah, on my days off I generally sleep in a bit and I take it easy if I can. Sometimes I like to have bubble baths but I've been doing that even when I worked easy ass jobs. I almost never hear "self care" in male circles and, to me, it comes across as a "you go girl" excuse to just spend money and make bad decisions.

"Yeah I bought a $1000 purse but I've wanted it forever and I treated myself as part of my self care."

"I ate an entire pint of ice cream for lunch but I've been really stressed so I'm practicing self care."

"Stayed in 3pm today and then shirked all my responsibilities for the rest of the day. Self care day!"

I've also seen it used to describe just normal ass stuff like staying active or getting out of bed.

"Had a great yoga class today! #selfcare"

It's just another annoying buzz word up there with "YOLO." I also feel it has an undertone of "Women need to practice self care because nobody cares about us/women are always tearing themselves down and overworking" which kind of propagates the idea that women are all victims in modern society, and I am over it.
