Hot Takes 2 – It’s cancel time! (again)

A few weeks ago I, Daan, sent a google form where members could send in their hot takes! I decided to rank these!

Like last time, a hot take is a statement that is not incorrect but not very obvious. A question is not a take! A lie is not a take, it’s just a lie. Obvious things are not hot. A little bit of controversy is essential for a hot take.

Of course 2 final disclaimers:

  • These are not my words, they are open for discussion but I am just a neutral vessel that didn’t write any of these takes. Of course there will be things that you think are misplaced but this is just my rating of the takes
  • Following up on this, Ranking 46 different takes in an order where everyone would agree is impossible. Also for me when ranking these I constantly was debating to put some takes higher or lower but this is the ranking I finalized since if I were to look at this any longer I would have an existential crisis

Here’s the ranking:

  1. Not all sexual orientations or genders should be morally or socially acceptable. i.e. polyamory, they’re just a player. This is no reason to act upon feelings. This is also true for relationships with animals or children
  2. Roetveegpiet is racism, because black people can’t portray zwarte pete anymore. The original zwarte piet could be played by anyone, regardless of gender or race.
  3. The fact that the Koornbeurs is in financial struggles constantly, shows that the association doesn’t deserve to exist
  4. FvD’ers should be kicked from the Koornbeurs. 
  5. The Koornbeurs has a macho-problem that results in bullying or crossing boundaries
  6. It’s a good thing that Belgium has completely ruined Congo, this is why slavery is gone
  7. People shouldn’t complain as much it they are addressed wrongly by accident
  8. The Kardashians are a hard-working family
  9. A dictatorship light would work better than our ‘democracy’
  10. Senior Citizens don’t nearly deserve as much as they get now, let them suffer.
  11. The will to combat climate change should be seen as a conservative position. After all, climate change is gradually replacing the world we know with one we don’t know, which should trigger people who pretend to be afraid of change
  12. Herman doesn’t need a sound exemption
  13. Far Left people are in my opinion people with no life experience or people who don’t understand how the world works
  14. Being full time board is not that tough
  15. I only do stuff for the Koornbeurs for the future members, I don’t enjoy it anymore
  16. The earth is so overpopulated that u shouldn’t even be happy with the birth of a child
  17. It’s time that one of the sides in the Ukraine-Russia war should use nukes.
  18. Nintendo games are very overrated and irrelevant, they have not innovated in the last years.
  19. Free porn should be illegal
  20. Redux and all other disputes should disappear
  21. Winter Sports is a stain on society
  22. Being more afraid of China than the US means you’re ignorant or racist
  23. Membership contribution should go up
  24. People that vote GroenLinks or D66 and call themselves left are ignorant or trolling
  25. In the Netherlands a revolution will take place within 10 years.
  26. Chocolate Chip Cookies are gross
  27. People that put extra spice on things only enhance the spicy food dick measuring contest only more, whilst fucking up the taste of the food.
  28. Tiktok should be banned
  29. Education would benefit from a shortening of compulsory education, be it the compulsory school age or the number of hours per year. In addition, grades should be abolished as far as possible, except for entrance exams.
  30. We have to be more left-leaning as the Koornbeurs and organize stuff with that 
  31. Spending whole nights at the Koornbeurs is more an expression of a lack of backbone than evidence of having one.
  32. Prohibiting words with a negative connotation like neger en allochtoon does nothing about the problem and is useless. The successor of the banned world will have the same connotation and this way we’ll be busy forever
  33. The US is more harmful to world peace than any other country
  34. Socialism is a stupid system
  35. Individualism is overrated
  36. Unisex toilets are fine, but separated toilets should also still be accessible.
  37. You may put pineapple on pizza. not my preference but the idea that you can’t do something ‘because you just don’t do it’ is stupid.
  38. Dobby deserved his fate
  39. The world has gone too soft, 1 critical point and you’re canceled.
  40. Politics is boring and overrated
  41. There’s only 1 waterbird and that is the duck. They’re all ducks
  42. Zaanse mayo is mid, Hellmans is where it’s at
  43. The Meiland family is fucking irritating (fact)
  44. RTL Boulevard is the best TV-program. (lie)
  45. No big bell pepper pieces belong in a pasta sauce (just a fact)
  46. General stupidity doesn’t exist, we think people are stupid if they don’t know enough about something we are passionate about (just a fact imo)
