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'm a 49 y.o. male.
I hated Justin Bieber in the 2000s. I still do. Taylor Swift is OK, but not really my cup of tea. I'm not a fan of BTS, but if it works for them, then more power to them! I am into the marvel superheroes, up to Endgame. Everything after that has seemed like over-saturation and I haven't really watched any except the spiderman movie/s. The DC universe is mostly good. The Nolan batman movies were great, as was Wonder Woman. The rest have been a bit average, though.
But Twilight... Really? I'm definitely team Edward. Why would you want to be a werewolf with a lifespan of 90-odd years when you could live forever? I watch the movies a couple of times a year. I've read all of the books. The only thing I'm ever critical of is the weird, uncanny-valley, cgi baby they jammed into the movies... And 'Renesmee' is the stupidest name I've ever heard (apologies to any Renesmees out there, but it's just awful).
Anyway, my point is that you shouldn't generalise like that, it makes you sound... Well... Like someone who hated Justin Bieber in the 2000s. Hating on any demographic makes you a bigot, too.
If there is someone that puts you down for what you like, then surround yourself with better people.
