Sites saying "hey uhm we can see you use adblocker, but we're gonna have to ask you to turn it off to be able to use things on this site..." especially when this message almost covers the full page, or if not turning off your adblocker leads to an empty site/404.

-PETA

-Indoctrination of children into a religion, or at least wait until they are old enough to think rationally

-Not so much a ban as simply making them ease up on it, censoring childrens cartoons. Kids aren't as sensetive as you think they are

-Related to the above, using trends and memes to try and connect with kids. It does not work.

[up][up]You mean like Obsessively Normal? I don't blame you for that one; it's my second least favorite trope.

Update for today: I just remembered this one. I would ban using "human nature" as a catch-all excuse for jerkish behavior. On that note, just once, I'd like to say to someone "Maybe human nature should lose for once."

People who bitch about cyclists using the sidewalk. I'd make a bill to allow cyclists to use the sidewalk as they please. Pedestrians need to give the right of way.

Homework for anyone under ten.

Ads after a YouTube video. They're so much more startling than ads before a video.

Christmas music before Thanksgiving. The Safeway where I work plays it nonstop for two straight months, and since I started working there, I've been actively dreading the Christmas season.

Ban the indoctrination of children into religious and political ideologies. They should be introduced to it once they are rational independent adults.

I want to ban "Karen" being used as a derogatory term.

Why? It's a real-life name, and there's a chance someone actually named Karen may be within earshot.

[up] Agreed. I also find those "Karen" jokes distasteful for the same reason, actually. Many people with that name are probably being bullied because of it when they don't deserve it.

Tbh I never really hated his minigames in the original, but they did make them better in the remake.

Loophole, Karen is now replaced with Janet. You can't stop us, suckers.

Kidding.

I don't care about the whole Karen thing. It's kind of amsuing, in my opinion.

Anyway, I would like to ban Catcher in the Rye. Utterly horrendous book.

Olives. All the olives in the world I'd do everything to ban them. Can't stand the shit that makes me vomit and when your own father once tried to force you to eat the vomit...

If I can't, I'd ban olives from pizzas, sandwiches, and more.

Olive oil however is something I love.

Also, for the same reason mentioned in my last post, I would ban Florida Man jokes. They're just kind of overused and annoying.

Remakes in general that just copy and imitate the original because the "creative" teams behind those remakes really just aren't that creative.

[up][up][up]I know how you feel. hugs Bluethorn and Zanreo

About the remakes... I feel like Disney, at least, should be banned from remaking movies that aren't old enough. The Jungle Book (2016) was fantastic, and while the original film was also great, it did have many things that deserved to be updated. The 2016 film was clearly made with the intention of making a great Jungle Book movie. Aladdin (2019) and The Lion King (2019), on the other hand, feel so unnecessary. I've only seen reviews of them, but from what I've seen, these movies definitely feel like attempts to cash in on 90's nostalgia and nothing else. The original movies were already fantastic, and these remakes feel like insults to the great artistic efforts that went into the original movies.

This isn't to say that a movie's quality is based on how recent it is, but I think this idea might help them update movies that could actually stand to be updated, instead of picking the best ones from more recent times to cash in on them. :P

The Jungle Book (2016) was fantastic, and while the original film was also great, it did have many things that deserved to be updated.

It was more of a continuity reboot rather than a remake.

It was akin to Batman Begins rather than just being... well... how the 2019 Lion King went about doing things.

Plot and character elements were changed, rather than just being copied.

Other than that, I agree with ya so much.
