2019 vs. 2024 hot takes exactly 0 people asked for (now with opinions on the dr3 characters!)

and because im mentally ill im elaborating below the cut because at least i’m cognizant of how few people share this illness with me ❤️

first of all. some categories were edited (+added). we shall address them all in due time 🫶 but just for posterity before we begin: top of the category is the one that best exemplifies the category title and it moves in descending order; so as gonta is my #1 my GOAT, pedo udg guy is the one i want to kill himself most. understandable? ok 🫶

2019 top 5-tier is slightly unfortunately named but other than that changes in 2024 are somewhat minimal. as is perhaps obvious if you have seen even one (1) danganronpa post from me: gonta is My character hes mine spike chunsoft dont get him like i do. AND i love sdr2. nagito is my very very close second i am so incredibly mentally ill about him Oh if you all could see the hundreds of thousands of words ive written about that fucking guy. also true of hajime. still true of sonia (<3 i love u girlie) and fuyuhiko but to a lesser extent (i have written so much sdr2. its a problem. we persist). they are characters we see a lot of and in that same vein give SO much to build upon in further character exploration. and boy do i do that. holds the five of them In my arms i love you babygirls

S tier excellents again prove i am an sdr2 enjoyer. i think it also showcases how much i REALLY love the v3 characters while absolutely hating the plot they were stuck in. kaede and shuuichi are SOOOO special 2 me u dont understand…….im going to have so many thoughts and be So mad when i replay v3. kokichi is VERY interesting and my thoughts on him are endless (hi evan) and there is soooo much there even if i also have to fundamentally hate him somewhat because of 3-4. also a wide array of sdr2 characters are here of course……on my most recent replay i have come to really appreciate imposter (better sexier byakuya ❤️) and ibuki . and i was kind of surprised how high some of the dr1 characters are (besides chihiro who has consistently been my dr1 #1) but sorry dr3 made me love the makoto/kyouko/aoi trio sooooo bad.

lots of variety in the A tier which are all characters i enjoy, they just arent my Favorite barbie dolls to mash around u know. so many very unique personalities like mahiru, angie, tenko, and ryoma that weren’t explored as well as possible in canon, so its harder for me to personally invest in them. junko is iconic and she gets worse as the games go on but god. dr1 was craaaaaazy so she and mukuro have to be given props for that. im ignoring e-girl junko and v3 entirely <3 also again in watching dr3 while replaying sdr2 i really came to appreciate natsumi and her dynamic with hajime :[ rip girl i miss u. also also i liked koichi way more than expected LOL it must just be cuz hes hot but his death was sick as fuck and i liked his thruline with jin (the weird flirting with kyouko aside……)

B tier! bit of a mixed bag, from characters i like very begrudgingly (byakuya, sorry, i latched onto him as my rich terrible boyfriend when first playing years ago and the fondness kinda stuck 💔) to ones i do genuinely like, but they were not given much to do in canon (ryota) or their arcs fell flat (kirumi). also here are dr3 + udg characters i didnt mind or were just somewhat nice to makoto (also chisa, who is very interesting but i very much disliked how her character ended off) so shout out them (they are all dead) (or orphaned like monaca and kotoko).

C tier is basically my ‘i barely remember’ tier sry……i did not finish udg so i have so very few opinions on most of the characters. chihiro aoi and yasuhiro’s parents are chill tho shout out. not much to say tho

and now we enter the hater zone with D tier……look. some of these are hot takes and some arent. as much as i love sdr2 i just cannot ever make myself like hiyoko and teruteru. theyre kinda fucked from the getgo theyre never treated as especially serious characters but their glaring flaws are so bad i cant bring myself to care when the rest of the cast is SO GOOD. i also do not like kazuichi LMFAO as a sonia ride or die just as i cannot look past teruteru’s sexual harassment NEITHER CAN I LOOK PAST KAZUICHI’S ‼️‼️ yes i think he can be fixed but sonia needs a restraining order + when she was hoping he was the ch4 killer i was cheering. everyone else this category are just mid ass dr1 characters and the dr3 characters i found actively annoying. also monokuma. hes cringe but iconic and doesnt fit anywhere else

not much to be said about F tier. i did not finish udg but i know enough that i need haiji towa to die. i need the asshole who beat up hajime to die. i need the asshole who tried to kill makoto to die. i need that stupid old fuck heading the future foundation to die. the monokubs are fucking annoying. the only like Real characters here are 1) miu because she is written terribly and her cool talent is wasted, treats gonta like shit, isnt funny, is just nasty perv bait and her most meaningful contribution is to be fodder for the 2nd worse written case in the game. and as for NUMBER ONE WORST: tsumugi mostly just symbolizes my hatred for v3’s ending because outside of her role in 3-6 she has very little impact on the story before her reveal. also got my girlies kaede and rantarou killed God i hate the end of thisgame

and finally: oh my poor sweet bastards. why would they do this to you. these characters are either underutilized in a way that is DEVASTATING (izuru 💔) treated like shit as joke characters their potential is totally squandered by dogshit writing (everyone else — sdr2 you could have been so much better WHY!!!!!!). mikan and korekiyo’s motives are dogshit and make the ch3 double murder so much weaker. nekomaru and akane are played as jokes essentially their entire screentime and akane is especially egregious because shes a survivor among characters like FUYUHIKO!!! like SONIA!!! like HAJIME!!!!!!!!! AND YOU SQUANDER HER LIKE THIS!!!!!!!!!!! kaito suffers from really flip-floppy writing and he sucks a lot of the time Especially pre-localization but ive adopted him a little bit in writing him and i love my construction of him in my brain.

ok thats it. im so mentally ill. give me ur thoughts or do the tierlist urself. now pointy objects lockdown time 👍

Green Bay Packers fans create petition to prevent Joe Buck from broadcasting games

Why does Joe Buck suck?

With the football world’s eyes on Arlington, Texas this weekend for a premier NFL playoff matchup between Green Bay and Dallas, much of the pre-game conversation is on the man set to announce it Joe Buck, who remains one of the most hated sports broadcasters on television.

Fans loathe the Fox play-by-play man so much, in fact, that they created a petition to ban Buck and on-air partner Troy Aikman from announcing Green Bay Packers games.

SEE ALSO: The San Diego, er, Los Angeles Chargers epitomize the rotten scam that is pro sports

“This is a petition to get Joe Buck and Troy Aikman banned from announcing/commentating on the Green Bay Packers,” the petition reads.”On behalf of the Green Bay Packers fans across the world, we would like action taken to prohibit them from giving their constant negative input about our team. We are sick of the biased announcing always coming from them.”

As of Friday afternoon, more than 25,000 people have signed the petition, which might seem like a remarkable amount of hatred for a broadcaster.

But the “Joe Buck sucks” narrative is nothing new.

There are anti-Buck Facebook groups. An endless supply of anti-Buck memes. “Joe Buck Sucks” chants at baseball games. When the MLB or NFL playoffs commence, so does a new wave of Buck hatred.

Let’s take a look at why fans despise this broadcaster so much.

They say he’s biased

It’s easy to play the bias card when critiquing any broadcaster, but Buck Fox’s premier national football and baseball announcer seems to get this one a lot. Fans often go to extreme lengths to mock his love for particular players.

During the Chicago Cubs’ World Series run, fans thought Buck had a particular affinity for slugger Kyle Schwarber. So, someone decided to make them a wedding registry.

Buck defended his broadcasting in 2012, highlighting the fact that during the regular season fans are accustomed to hearing their team’s regular broadcaster, not an objective (in theory), national announcer.

“It’s easily explainable in the baseball world,” Buck said, per SFGate. “Fans are used to hearing their hometown guys. When you come at it objectively, people aren’t used to it. It gets frustrating.”

They say he’s only successful because of his daddy

Of course, there is also the nepotism factor. Buck’s dad, Jack, was a revered sportscaster with Hall of Fame honors in baseball, football and radio. That paints an easy target on Buck, whom fans say embodies nepotism.

Ahh find the mute button its fanboy #JoeBuck the definition of nepotism over ability. He ruins #WorldSeries year after year.

I’ve never seen anyone in life who’s had more handed to them just because who their daddy was than Joe @Buck

Fox hired Buck when he was just 25, and he soon became the youngest World Series play-by-play broadcaster in history.

Im my dads kid, and Im still, right or wrong, fighting that uphill battle, and Im not saying that makes sense,” Buck said in 2012. “I mean my dad didnt hire me at Fox… but it certainly gave me my start, and I think Im always kind of fighting that.

They say he’s simply not a good broadcaster

Buck’s voice is undeniably great, a beautiful baritone tailor-made for broadcasting. But the way he uses it, some say, leaves a lot to be desired.

The strongest announcers have an innate ability to paint a scene, bring life and depth to sport. Buck, on the other hand, is criticized for stating the obvious too often, relying on his voice and tone to build the drama, not the words themselves.

“His call of a game is sparse, and that’s different from using an economy of words,” one Reddit user said. “Some guys can say a little and deliver a lot. I feel like Buck says little and delivers little, leaving whoever calls the game with him to fill up the dead air.”

Here’s a great example of Buck’s minimal commentary (accompanied in this instance by former World Series Fox color commentator, Tim McCarver in 2013) which made its way around a “Why does everybody hate Joe Buck?” subreddit.

Commentary like that is useless when fans can see for themselves that it’s a ball outside, or strike two, or a foul back to the screen.

Everytime Joe Buck and Troy Aikman call a game, I feel like I’m in a retirement home. Their style of calling is so damn BORING

To his credit, though, Buck seems unfazed by the ungodly levels of criticism heaped upon him, and remarkably self-aware. Buck’s own Twitter bio reads, “I love all teams EXCEPT yours,” clearly a jab at his haterz. He also appeared in this hilarious FunnyOrDie sketch, basically spoofing himself.

He’s a good sport about it, and some say his broadcasting chops have improved in recent years, particularly during the Cubs’ World Series run last year.

“Joe Bucks performance in the booth has been one of the many bright spots in this exciting World Series, andwhen the time to call the final play early Thursday morning, he capped it off beautifully,” Luke Kerr-Dineen wrote on ForTheWin.

“His excitement shone through, he was clear and concise, and then in the mold of Scully, he got out of the way,” Kerr-Dineen wrote. “This was not a moment that needed excess hype. Buck delivered his call simply and perfectly, and this moment will live on fondly for years to come as a result.”

Clearly, Packers fans aren’t convinced.

And it’s not like their petition will accomplish anything. Buck’s contract with Fox Sports expires after the 2019 World Series, a point at which Buck said he may retire.

Until then, the Joe Buck haters will simply have to make due with the mute button.
