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'm not kink shaming..."

"Don't yuck someone else's yum..."

"Whatever floats your boat..."

Shut up. I don't care.

Your kink is gross and I don't have to be okay with it just because you're proud about it. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Some kinks are shameful. Hell, many kinks are shameful. And not just the obvious ones like pedophilia or bestiality or snuff.

I had more specifics drawn up but I figured it's probably safest to keep it kind of vague.

But it is my opinion that "don't kink shame!" should never have become the default.

That's probably the crux of the unpopular opinion here so that'll do.

How about BDSM? Should those people be shamed as well?

For what they do in private, no.

But it's not always private, now is it?

Oh so you’re mainly talking about the people who are doing fetish stuff in the public? Other people didn’t consent to being exposed to that stuff, so I can see that there’s a problem in that.
