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/

Maybe you should have kept this one to yourself.
The whole POINT of this comm is to express an unpopular opinion. The vast majority of these turn out NOT to be unpopular.
I still love all my lemmings but this is honestly the first time they have surprised me with a totally illogical reaction.
First: video games hurt no one Second: fantasizing about killing people is gross. Third: fantasizing about killing dogs is gross. Fourth: 87.9 BILLION animals are slaughtered for food globally annually. Fifth: I snipe one dog in RDR and the whole effing town goes effing ape shit Sixth: I present an unpopular opinion in a Lemmy comm and get downvoted. Oh well. I forgive you all. No ones perfect.
"They are eating the cats. They are eating the dogs."
Clever. I’ve edited my previous comment so it now makes sense.
