What is the most over-covered subject of discussion?

Hello!

This one is broad, but it can be about anything from a fandom or historically or just in general.

The Montreal Screwjob in the WWF. This is the most over-covered subject if you're a wrestling fan. Story goes, Bret Hart was to face Shawn Michaels in the 1997 Survivor Series in Montreal Canada. Tensions were high leading up to the match and Vince McMahon was afraid Bret was going to take the championship belt to WCW if he retained. So, about several minutes into the match, Shawn Michaels was about to lock in the sharpshooter on Bret when the bell prematurely rang, initiated by Vince and called by Earl Hebner, refereeing the match. There was a flurry of confusion at first but it came clear as day to everyone that Bret was screwed right then and there.

And for 29 years since, there had been constant interviews, constant coverage, wrestling content creators bringing it up a lot and treating it like there's one bit of information left out. By this point, it's been so covered, that we have most of the pieces. Shawn and HHH themselves knew it was a screwjob (it took Shawn years to admit it, HHH is still adamant about it for some reason) and WWE has their own revisionist telling about what happened and the aftermath.

At this point, we get it. For a sport that relies on choreographed moves and fluffed up gimmicks, it was a huge deal that just went on and on.

French politicians love bringing up whatever clothing muslim women wear, every quarter you're guaranteed to have a new debate bewteen old white men on what women should wear

But how else are people gonna know how great Arch with btrfs, zsh, and Hyprland tiling manager for everyone if we don't constantly talk about it?

All jokes aside, we definitely cover it to death.

Climat change and yet still people denie it!

WW2 especially with "the nazis could have won". No they couldnt. The only way they could have won would have been with them not being nazis!

In germany: the danger of the nazi party AfD and how fucked we would be if they came to power. Yet still people act supprised when AfD is revealed again to be corrupt, working for russia, is a nazi party and would ruin everything.
Yes keep talking about it but discussion of if they really are all those things is obsolete. They are! The media ofc isnt helping and neither is the CDU (conservatives and current ruling party) that openly starts talking about collaborating with them. Ugh.


Or the classic: violent video games discussion. SHUT THE FUCK UP WITH THAT!

You can be as naked as you want but covered? Nuh uh! Although that well-known populist racist-bait is probably now doubly pushed with the advent of ubiquitous facial recognition. 🙃

Small brain discussion: the Nazis could have won if...

Big brain discussion: the allies could have won with fewer casualties if...

Easy! For Sonic fans, especially us older fans, it's always new Sonic game bad after a game launches, for the most part. Sometimes it's deserved, like how buggy Sonic '06 is or how character turning on the 3DS port of Sonic Lost World is horrific IMO. But sometimes it's just something like people not liking cutscene changes in a remaster( rerelease? ) of an older title ( how I personally feel about the Sonic x Shadow Generations cutscene and dialogue changes ).

Just like most fandoms, I swear Sonic fans are never truly happy, unless it's something like Sonic Mania. And even then I have heard people complaining that they should have just made only new zones instead of the few they did reuse from other of the old 2D titles.

I, for one, cannot escape the new game bad thing myself considering I refuse to touch the latest racing game on account of me believing the Riders series was and is infinitely better ( so long as anything Free Riders that isn't the Crush40 song Free is included ).

Not a fan of fedora atheism either, but imo when atheists proselytize it’s because organized religion is harmful and they’re trying to limit/remove its power

Your argument would hold more water if organized religions encouraged people to say things like "oh my God". Saying those phrases or otherwise taking the Lord's name in vain is generally frowned upon, at least in most western religions (no idea if this taboo exists for, say, Hinduism).

You're right in saying we don't think about it when using it in everyday language. Similarly, most westerners aren't thinking they're celebrating the birth of Jesus when they are doing their Christmas shopping; obviously the holiday is inherently religious, but the only groups that generally view it as strictly a Christian holiday are devout followers of another faith that forbids them from celebrating, and obnoxious atheists.

When you encourage people to stop saying "oh my God", you aren't sticking it to organized religion in any way; you're literally policing people to do the same thing they want them to do.
