♦ Unpopular Opinion Thread ♦

Posted 5 years, 5 months ago (Edited 5 years, 4 months ago) by Enigma_Host

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.

i hate ai discourse because its over. who cares if tumblr is partnering with midjourney its already too late, all the images ai gens need have already been scraped. midjourney has private medical documents in it and you think your publicly posted art escaped it? you can glaze your art or whatever but it will make absolutely no difference as its just a drop in the bucket,or ocean. just stop. it bothers me when i see artists going  TTHIS IS HOW YOU CAN PROTECT YOUR ART FROM AI! but u cant, sorry. not to sound like a doomer but its true. none of it works like you think it does. sure, leave twitter and tumblr and flee to another website that will just do the same thing? its too late bud. just stop caring. its the easiest thing. watching people try to fight it is like watching a mouse still squirming trying to escape a glue trap and it's sad.whats done has been done. it sucks but theres nothing to do about it

Hating someone because they’re rich is stupid. I guess people aren’t allowed to be wealthy and successful anymore 🙄

A wise man once said, “I’m not better than you because I’m rich, I’m rich because I’m better than you.”

I'm fucking SURPRISED this might be considered unpopular. Kinda really pissed rn hence the wording. And this is not meant to vague anyone.

People who act all weird over female anatomy terms are losers. Full on losers. Vagina and uterus are not bad words. Stop adding to the stigma. The amount of people I've seen across the internet and even on this site who act like total weirdos over words to describe a girl's body is astounding. Especially when I almost never see the same for male terms. Feels genuinely misogynistic.

v Agreed. It's not the kids fault they aren't being raised right.

DeweyFisher

The Gen Zers bullying Gen Alpha for being weird don’t invalidate the concerns about how they’re being raised!!

Kids are coming to school without the muscle memory to hold a crayon. The schools pass them anyways and the problem compounds until they’re entirely dysfunctional and start lashing out. They aren’t going outside and playing with other kids as readily as past generations, and they’re missing out on valuable social growth.

+On shaming female anatomy. Like I get why it may be uncomfortable, but we shouldn't shame it or act like it's disgusting, esply when male bodies are often treated differently

I've been doing some thinking long time ago. 

I honestly believe that if you're not the one that created an art piece (an art piece that someone else made) you shouldn't have a say or a place to speak on the intentions.

Sure art is subjective it can mean anything, but you can't just go up to an art piece and say it was intended to be "xyz" when it's probably not what you think it's intended to be at the end of the day.

You can say that an art piece was intended to be horror related, but at the end of the day, that art piece might not intended to be like that.

You wouldn't go up to EVERY person wearing black in public and ask if they're trying to be gothic, no, because people are going to find you strange.

(Now if it was something that was ACTUALLY MADE to be malicious, then it is what it is, call it out for what it is)

TLDR: only the person who created the art piece can speak on the intentions not the viewer. Just because you perceive an art piece as this or that, doesn't mean it's the truth or the reality, for all you know, it could be the opposite unless otherwise.

TheEliBlog

Listen I know gen alpha has its issues but saying they don't go outside or that they don't have muscle memory to hold a crayon is a huge overgeneralization and borderline fear-mongering. If we want to address gen alpha's issues we cannot be saying stuff like this as a major generalization. That's treading into dangerous territory.

From an individual with an interest seen as cringe by a lot of people (The Backrooms.  I enjoy the entities and all the levels too, alongside the general concept.):

People should stop hating others for liking stuff considered “cringe” that the majority don’t see as covered by “cringe culture is dead”.  By this I specifically mean shitting on folks directly for enjoying stigmatized things like Skibidi Toilet, Garten of Banban etc.  As long as it’s not harming someone, not illegal and not romanticizing disturbing/gross things, let people enjoy/indulge in things.  There’s a difference between a bit of lighthearted banter and straight up going to the person’s face “sorry your interest is shit/sucks I like [thing] better or [version] better.”

You’re allowed to not like something but you don’t need to bring someone else down to talk about how you don’t like it.

Sometimes it’s ok to be mean. Sometimes it’s ok to find things annoying and disgusting. The problem is with moralizing those feelings, not having those feelings in the first place. I find a lot of things annoying, childish, disgusting, and dare I say, cringe and that’s find.

 That’s normal. It is a morally neutral emotion, I feel like we are in an environment where you can’t just be a hater anymore, you have to have a moral reason that you think something is bad. So people dig through people’s blogs, pasts, etc to find any sliver of information they can use to make their feelings morally justified and it’s makes sooo many people straight up miserable and straight up dangerous to be around. Just be a hater and bitch in the group chat like an adult.

We need to stop using the term "drama" for situations that are really serious. Like someone being outed as a predator isn't drama, its a crime. Drama downplays the severity of the situation and should only be used for less serious/petty conflicts.
