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/

Dark places aren't inherently more dangerous. Light, bright areas aren't inherently positive.
These are the subliminal ideas that were put into your head by literature, religion, popular culture, etc (that was often seeped in racism).
Just like numbers aren't inherently good or bad, but certain numbers rise associations with "good" or "bad" 3, 7, 13, 666, 777, Etc.
"Nature itself" argument is completely BS, as many animals hunt and spring to life at night, while daytime and light means danger to them.
Dark cave vs open meadow.
Clear skies vs stormy clouds.
Clear still water vs murky turbulent water.
Death and decay vs life.
But nah, I'm just making up literary themes that have existed for centuries. For fucks sake, the vast majority of horror movies rely on darkness.
The fucking yin yang is literally the fusion of light and darkness, good and evil.
You're just being intentionally obtuse or you're really that dumb that you don't get any of these themes.
When you're a rodent?
When you're stranded in the desert?
When you're a fish?
How does that have anything to do with black/white?
You're trying to disprove that it a subliminal bias induced by other people who lived a while ago by... giving me examples of it?
Oh the irony...
Additionally:
Pink is not "feminine"
Blue is not "masculine"
Since we've drifted so far from the point, let me bring us back.
You are an imbecile. A low intelligent, dimwitted individual. Someone who lacks understanding of subtext or really any basic reading comprehension. You are an overall drain on society. A moron. A few fries short of a happy meal. Your elevator doesn't go to the top floor. Lights are on, no one's home.
Now, you see how I was able to easily insult your lack of intelligence without once calling you retarded? So pray tell me, how would removing that word have changed this interaction at all? I'd still be calling you shit for brains without using the dreaded "R-word". Do you maybe see now how it's not the language, but the emotions of the person uttering them that matters? That you need to change my emotional state, not just restrict my use of words. Because as I've clearly pointed out, I can still call you a fucktard without using "retarded".
I haven't drifted from the point at all. You were confused why blacklist/whitelist were changed to blocklist/allowlist.
It seems it went over your head.
I wasn't confused. I'm the one who stated and clarified it happened. So yes, you do need reading comprehension, retard.
You replied to my my black/white comment that wasn't even a reply to you, with your astrology-or-whatever-based "black is spooky = bad :(" nonsense, you knobhead.
Jesus, some explain to this dickhead how a threaded conversation works lmao.
Ok retard
