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 think you need to read what I wrote again, Chief. Cos I never made that claim.
Trump didn't call anyone ”stupid” when he did that. Nor did he even use that word you said he did. He was imitating someone with a disability.
The reporter he's talking about:
Again, you need to read what I wrote again. Because I didnt say what you are saying I said.
Again, Trump wasn't even using the word this thread is about in that picture but he was mimicking someone with a disability so I don't see what point you're even trying to make.
One last time, read what I said again. I am not saying what you are saying I said.
What do you think I think you're saying?
I dont think it, I know it. Your problem is your focus is on what Trump did, and I not what I said.
ie, if I call Trump a retard. If I post that meme to call him a retard. No one, other than you, is thinking about anyone else, but Trump being a fucking retard.
You're still not saying what you know I think you're saying. Tell me. I wanna know. Because I think you're misunderstanding my point, and because of that it's leading you to believe I don't understand your point. So tell me what you know I think you meant so we can move forward.
No, tell me. You're so adamant about it. Going so far out of your way, you just insist that I don't, but when I just simply ask "oh, well what do you think that I think you mean" you just crumble. You just keep repeating that "that's not what I said, reread what I said" so clearly there's a miscommunication somewhere. And I've reread what you said every time. I'm not getting any new epiphanies from it. So tell me what you think that I think you mean so we can work though this misunderstanding.
