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/

Have you actually heard someone say this? Someone that wasn't a child at a fair?
My cousin who's tattooed heavily. Same bloke who talks about how cool his shoes are.
I bet he's got pretty cool shoes
Damn, I need to see these shoes
Yes, there are a lot of idiots in this world.
Sure, anytime someone posts theirs online looking for praise or validation.
And yet you think anyone here cares about your dumbass opinion for praise or validation about bitching like a fucking child about how someone else views their own body.
You and I have very different definitions of the words "actually", "heard", and "say". You're projecting.
OP's response makes perfect sense. It looks to me like you're playing the semantics game to dunk on them because you don't like their opinion, though.
@EtnaAtsume@lemmy.world is posting here literally looking for validation. They're looking for likeminded people who share their unpopular opinion. They are literally acting against themselves which makes this whole post, and themselves, even more ridiculous.
I didn't say I don't like their opinion, I'm entirely indifferent to their opinion. You can check if you want, votes are public if your tech-savvy enough to find them (I'm not or I'd link). I don't even have tattoos, but other people having them doesn't affect me in any way. The sentence was in quotes, so I asked if they had "actually heard someone say" that statement and they equivocated. 🤷♂️ I thought the question was pretty explicit in what it was asking, but they still managed to answer a different question.
