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/

Twilight movies are trash but I enjoy them, just like a lot of action movies are trash but women don't care to criticize the trash men watch, but men do like to make fun of you for liking things like Twilight.
I'm not so sure about that. I've heard plenty of movie critiques by all kinds of social/genital setups. If you like it, watch it, but nobody else is obliged to like it or like that you like it (even though that matters exactly zero).
Maybe I'm not explaining myself clearly, but the kind of attitude of being in a group, saying that you like a movie and being made fun of is always done by men who think that if they don't hate on girly things enough then they'll look gay.
Maybe make new friends? There are plenty of men who are happy to acknowledge that the twilight movies are bad, not because it would be gay, but because they are written poorly.
I will counter here and say that the exact same argument can be made for superficial love of movies just because they are "girly". See also the notebook and P.S. I love you which I also don't think are particularly good. I mean, I can boil your argument down and say that women think "kick ass" or "shoot em up" are bad movies (because they are, but they are entertaining) and it's "always the most insufferable women" who say these movies are bad.
I feel like you're looking for a reason to be injured and making the discussion gendered for reasons that are beyond the argument. Just like your stuff and dislike what you don't like and who cares about the rest? Maybe it's more insufferable to not just acknowledge that some of the stuff you happen to like is not great, but feel very sad because people call it out as not being great.
This sounds increasingly whiney to me TBF. So I guess kudos to you, it's likely to be objectively unpopular.
