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/

As someone with 0 tattoos but who wants tattoos, I think the bar for those kinds of tats is if the moments you're signifying through the tattoo have truly defined or been a significant part of your life. I think even though we all change, it's fine to acknowledge what's happened in our past in an artistic manner on our bodies. For instance, I learned English playing Zelda & other video games, I've played them for decades, so I would consider a tattoo of Nintendo IP, even though I want nothing more than for the entire company to spontaneously combust. My love for the Zelda IP is bigger than my hate for Nintendo, and I have no qualms holding both feelings at once. Such hatred, at least for me, stems from them butchering our childhood memories, after all.
The style of the tattoo might be harder to nail for me, because sure I might want a Legend of Zelda tattoo or something, but I could make something classy and timeless or I could make the worst recreation of AI marketing hallucination content imaginable and regret the ink as it gets injected into me. If I have no taste, I could very quickly regret my tattoo.... And that's why I still have no tats. I've seen how I make bases & houses in video games, I don't trust my artistic choices.
Then fuckit, save the money and print a screenshot of this conversation to put on the wall ;)
