Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Come on people, you're supposed to vote it UP if it's an unpopular opinion! Even if it's based on misunderstanding, at least this one's still an opinion.
No things like this need to be obliterated from this platform.
It's the equivalent of "chocolate sucks because I hate chocolate".
Honestly opinions like this should just be kept to oneself.
Aren't all opinions tautological by their very nature of being opinions?
Also, this IS NOT like "I don't like chocolate because it's chocolate". It'd be like, "I don't like chocolate because the idea of harvesting some weird bean in specific regions of the planet is foreign to me." They have reasoning. Just because it's ill formed based on personal shortcomings doesn't make it devoid of reasoning.
In any case, this is a place for unpopular opinions. The opinion stated is unpopular. The rules say that should be up voted. Full stop.
