♦ Unpopular Opinion Thread ♦

Hi! 

Since the original Unpopular Opinion Thread is locked (it turned into a shit-show reeeaaal fast) , I've gotten permission to remake it. 

I've decided to use the original rules for the thread since those were gucci

Edit: I didn't mean to post ic aaaaaaaa

Spoilers: Rules

- Don't be very rude or snarky to others. Remember, everyone has their own personal opinions.

- Disagreeing with someone's opinion is allowed, as long as it's not rude.

- Yo don't namedrop people, even if they're not on this site.

- To avoid causing a mess, refrain from starting an argument at all times!

- If there's something wrong going on in this thread, or if it's going out-of-hand, please PM me so that I can take care of it!

- Vaguing someone is prohibited, and it's connected to the third rule.

- Please do not post more than twice per page, so that it won't cause too much of a mess.

- It's okay if you vent, don't go too all-out on it. This is not the Vent Board.

- Also, please try not to turn this thread into a saltfest.

- Please, no opinions focused on racism, LGBT, politics, religion and the like. These will cause a massive flamewar. Controversial opinions are also not allowed unless taken lightly.

- Don't say stuff like "I don't like X" or "What? I love X!" in a way that's aggressive. This is meant to be a nice thread about sharing your unpopular opinions, not countering someone else's opinion.

-If it's something nsfw, use a spoiler box, or blackout the text  like this

- Don't call this thread out as a "bad idea." If you don't like this thread, please do not post here.

-Failure to comply with these rules will result in a warning, or ban depending on how severely you broke the rules.

Ey yo,  if you see someone breaking the rules, pm me. I love it when ppl do this because I'm a blind bih.

Furbies are absolutely creepy and it should be said. Idgaf about how cute people think they are, those soulless eyes are disturbing af.

yes scorpions are adorable :D     🦂

also i read the reasoning for the not including the national dex

if u consider the fact that each gen they have to take all the new moves/abilities and distribute them among all the pokemon then the workload each gen increases exponentially unless they put a limit on how many pokemon get updated each gen

also the pokemon home feature will keep all ur pokemon safe for the future

i just hope that home has security features and cloud save feature without the deleting pokemon that pokemon bank does (which makes bank unsafe for long term storage)

it could be worse, it could be like the game boy games (b4 virtual console) where they were cut off from future games completely

my main concern is if there will be cloud backup on swsh (this is the sort of game where u can easily get 100+ hour playthroughs)

i think there isnt a valid excuse for there not to be, they could have rating info stored on the server instead of in ur save file

Red meats (beef, pork, lamb, etc) taste gross. Chicken and fish ftw.

+ Not really an opinion, but I feel like there should be an active mod for this thread. Idk man, it feels like things've been getting too saucy lately. 

ParadiseLost

Agreed on Thantophobia’s second point

Mist-Sterious

i also agree wiith the second point

ekolu

Unless it has to do with its culture, resorting to using Japanese to name your chibi humanoid closed species is the peak of banality.

The ending to Final Fantasy XV, imo, isn't nearly as satisfying as it should have been, and the fact that it weighed so heavily on being unable to break fate is sad. Especially when DLC and a novel based on planned DLC changed the ending to something way more satisfying and complete feeling. 

cookeycat

Ugh those comics on IG about periods are disgusting. 

[Cartoon blood warning]: https://www.instagram.com/p/ByBYgkahCEd/ Shaming people because they don't enjoy blood in real life? Wtf is wrong with you?

Forced bodily waste positivity is gross and absolutely unnecessary.

-breaking news!- People don't enjoy bodily waste. Yes, it's natural, but it doesn't make it any better.

cinsin

ugh I agree sm on the ffxv one, I honestly felt like the Episode Ignius ending was better?? like what's so wrong nowadays about satisfying endings that leave all main characters happy?

RazLapin

cinsin You, I trust you 

bc Episode Ignis... the verse two ending had so much more raw emotion thanks to just how well Ignis was voiced and portrayed and Ignis essentially just showing fate who's boss was perfection and genuinely the best ending the game could have ever asked for

im going to stop talking about ffxv now its just *clenches fist* my hyperfixation

I can see both sides of this, really. I understand that people may not want to see bodily excretions. I don't think we should require people to be ok with seeing poop and related excreta. The other side of this coin is, telling women to hide their menstruations because "they're gross" is telling women that something unique to them that is a part of the cycle of birth is "gross", and making them feel like Hunchbacks of Notre Dame once a month, who need to hide away from society for however long their period lasts lest they frighten children and the aged. That's cruel at its simplest and oppressive at its most complex.

The problem with wanting a "trigger-free life" is that life just isn't free of the things that can trigger people. And while it's reasonable to try to care about many upsetting things, if we try to care about every upsetting thing, then soon we become an oppressive society ourselves.

Finding a good balance between not tolerating awful things and oppressing other people's right to free expression is hard, because one day, someone may find your beliefs "triggering" and will try to silence you. (Generic "you", of course.)
