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 didn’t like Justin Bieber because I listened to his music and didn’t like it. Taylor Swift I could take or leave, but her new album is fire. BTS is overrated but nobody really talks about Not Today and that song is awesome. Dynamite is good, but they didn’t write it and none of it is in Korean, so does it really count? I listen to their albums and I don’t get it. I like the fake Kpop bands, K/DA and HUNTR/X, and Blackpink and a couple other real Kpop bands.
Twilight is a special kind of trash but I will defend the first one. It’s a solid vampire romance flick.
Some people are complicated. Oh and I have Animal Crossing going on the TV, waiting for stars to fall to pray to.
I might have been a woman in a past life?
You weren't a woman but a normal person with critical thinking skills. A lot of men just have pack mentality and that's what I'm criticizing here but apparently this place is riddled with men that think like a monolith and don't have opinions of their own.
This is just hidden sexism my man, not on you but other people in your life and society telling you. Purge that shit from your system, you do you my man. Enjoy what you enjoy. If you like it or it makes you feel happy then I am all for it.
For over a decade I worried about shit like this from high school onward. I worried that the car I bought was a woman's car. Absolutely stupid what society tries to teach us, and look at the men who obsess over shit like that. They obsess so much they pour 200k into a truck to try and convince everyone that they're manly, they destroy their health eating way more mean than anyone should, and they destroy their relationships because they try to define "roles" in relationships. Fuck allll of that. As long as what you do doesn't harm anyone else, then I say I'm all for it.
-36 year old male Swiftie, Bieber I could take or leave, Kpop is funky I do like it, and Twilight with the wife is a fun night.
