We've all had an opinion at one point in time that's seemed totally ridiculous. Whether it be about a track, person, team, or just playstyle in general everyone has said something that's made other people raise their eyebrows at what's been said.

While obviously this is meant to be a thread for people to get some of their true feelings out, keep the toxicity down. Anything that's just blatantly trying to drag someone or a team down is gonna get deleted, so please don't be toxic. (this is all meant for fun and games anyway)

a piece of commentary, typically produced quickly in response to a recent event, whose primary purpose is to attract attention.

primetime should never cast anything below d3/4 ever again

not a hot take just a fact

-

You ALWAYS have total control over how well you do.

also false because even though you do everything correctly in a race, things can still go wrong that are out of your control, a teammate accidentally backing something, unexpected shock, etc. That stuff is literally out of your control you can't control that. But yes, the perception that alot of people have is that everything that goes wrong is out of their control and its unlucky, but like 90% of the stuff people bitch about is stuff they actually could control. I think a better way to word your post would be "Most of the stuff you think is out of your control actually isn't" and its something you can easily notice while watching someones gameplay.

IOW: Focus on what you can control.

In the context of Mario Kart, you can't control luck and how other players play, but you have control over everything else.
Luck will always be a factor, but the better you get, the less it matters.

If a team is too high a division for you to play now, they will always be too high a division for you to play. You will never get better if you don't play teams better than you.

Unfortunately this is something people have been trying to say since the game came out and nobody is willing to make that effort to war better teams besides a select few. It's pretty annoying that you see a competitive scene where people don't even care about being better or doing better, its about just being better than those around your skill level, and you'll never improve.

It’s more inclusive, and games like 8va vs AD or something would be more interesting than watching some d1 team get slaughtered by another
dude how are top players gonna cast a d7 match without being confused as fuck half the time
