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/

There seems to be a quite small, but very vocal, minority who like to shout about them not being funny (most of them aren't supposed to be funny, they're illustrating a point), not being elaborately well drawn (they don't need to be, they make their point just fine), suggesting they're a bit self-insert (fair enough, they're inspired by her life), or suggesting these things don't actually happen or aren't bad (worrying...).
Ultimately, if someone doesn't like them, they're free to ignore them, no-one's forcing anyone to read them.
Personally I find them boring. I've seen the exact same points displayed in more nuanced and entertaining ways so they just feel uninspired.
What I dislike far more is the discussion about it. This has to be the 5th post I've seen about this artist in the last 2 days. I now know the name, that she has an onlyfans, and a very detailed map of her political views, all without my interest or intent to learn this. I do not understand why so many people are that invested in this specific comic.
I'll be honest, the amount of discussion baffles me too. If someone's not interested in the comics, and that's fair enough, just move on, we don't need another grumpy comment about it or the author!
