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've always said to myself "I'll get a tattoo when I can think of something that I'll still think is cool when I'm 70"
Ain't got a tattoo.
My brother has our family coat of arms as his only tattoo, I think that's reasonably timelessly cool.
I got WIDE LOAD tattooed in black metal font on the backs of my thighs
Ngl I might steal that lmao. That's great
Go for it, haha! And thanks! :)
If my family has a coat of arms, no one ever told me.
You can literally just make one up, its not like theres some offical process.
And do something cool, like Utah raptors shooting lasers from their eyes.
Until some right-wing fascist group appropriates it.
This was always my thought. Recently, I've been considering various anti-fascist logos since that's something that will never change (and if it does, then I should just kill myself at that point)
My only tattoo is a matching tattoo all my siblings got. I never seriously wanted one, but at least it means something. I might expand on it when I have my own kids
That is exactly the point. Have you ever seen someone wearing a long forgotten bands logo? Or a brand gone shitty? Imagine those idiots who got themselves a Tesla logo tattooed before Musk made it into a Swasticar...
It's be a cold day in hell that'd I'd wear a tee shirt with a brand let alone tattoo one on me.
I'm in a similar situation except reversed. I have several I know I'm gonna get but I've just been too poor my whole life to get one.
I hope that turns around then and you can get them one day!
This is my case. If I'd have had the money I'd be nearly covered.
