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/

I completely agree. Assume, and just assume that Twilight, Taylor Swift, BTS are annoying, those who said "Guh I hate Twilight, Taylor Swift, and BTS" are SO MUCH MORE annoying.
Ironically their number one argument was always "I don't know why it's shoved in my face" and then proceeds to shove their hatred of it in everyone's faces.
I'm a full on swiftie, and I am not ashamed of that at all. People like different things. People should be allowed to like different things. Judging someone because of a music preference is so much annoying than the person who likes it, and says a lot more about the person who cannot simply move along and ignore the thing they don't like. No they just haaaave to say something.
"They're not even good!" Who cares?! By whose metric?! I like them, and I enjoy them, so kindly let me enjoy things.
I then mention that I also have been a long time classic rock fan. I've seen The Who, Pink Floyd, Van Halen, Styx (awesome show btw), and so so so many others live and they're all good. And I also went to Eras, and it was amazing. God, thank you for this place to dump this, god "but but but". No. Shut up and let people enjoy things. You not enjoying something doesn't mean you have any authority to tell others. It's annoying, and from me, a 36 year old straight male, OP is right, you're insufferable if you can't let people enjoy things.
