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 wondering if the problem is that you're assuming they're thinking like a monolithic and can't see anything else. Scrolling through this thread I see a number of men who hate Justin Bieber but just about every post has different opinions on the other things you mentioned.
So let me add another: I hated Justin Bieber because in his music he came across to me as an insufferable egomaniacal twat. Aaaand in the years that followed her made one thing clear: I was absolutely fucking right with that reading of him.
As to the other things, I don't like twilight (but don't hate it per say - although you yourself said it was bad,), I don't have a strong opinion on Taylor Swift and find BTS quite catchy.
As to hating things women like - well, I like Britney Spears, many girly drinks (I'll take a sex on the beach anytime - well OK, maybe not at work or while I'm driving, but you get the idea), and like Bright colors.
I get it, you had a shitty date. I've had shitty dates, too. But if after my first shitty date I assumed all women are like that date - well, I'd probably be an insufferable POS myself.
