Saying "it's a yes or no question" is not always fair.

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.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Darn, well the least you can do is actually explain why it isn’t unpopular instead of just saying it.
"I’m sorry you feel that way."
literally textbook gaslighting.
"Please forgive me, please?"
comes across as sarcastic and insincere.
i didn't say i was offended, i said your opinion is not unpopular.
"...the least you can do is actually explain why it isn’t unpopular instead..."
you haven't asked for information or clarification, what answer do you expect?
don't act so entitled. nobody owes you anything.
if you want to know something, ask.
Your first response to my comments was “nah” which gives off the impression that you knew I was trolling. Then you deleted it and changed it to “for what?” I then said: “the least you can do is explain why it’s not unpopular” I don’t see how that’s gaslighting, but then you said “it’s not the least I can do” I was confused by that statement. So I said: “further explain instead of downvoting for no reason which you have literally done to every reply that I made. You’re right no one owes me anything but if you’re gonna say it’s not unpopular, at least explain why.
here's an explanation of textbook gaslighting highlighting your phrase specifically:

if you don't know you're being manipulative, you should take a step back and be more careful with your language, you're very rude and entitled and it doesn't make me want to help you.
if you want information, ask.
"You’re right no one owes me anything."
great.
"but if you’re gonna say it’s not unpopular, at least explain why."
you still haven't asked any questions, so I'll redirect you to your only self-aware statement:
"You’re right no one owes me anything."
if you want information, ask for it.
that's not the least i can do.
So… you can do more? Make it make sense instead of just downvoting someone because they call you out for not elaborating on what you say.
Ask for clarification or more information politely if you want to know something instead of gaslighting people or being rude and flippant.
you're very antagonistic.
How am I being antagonistic? You literally downvoted me for no reason lmao.
