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/

Fuck it, you used the community correctly. Have my upvote you damn prude.
When cops have full sleeve tattoos, they're no longer edgey and cool. They're the status quo. My 46 year old gastroenterologist has two on each of her wrists. Those of you with tattoos, I regret to inform you: you are the prudes now.
What? Prude means you're obsessed with appearing modest and proper. Prude does not mean conformist or mainstream or whatever.
Tattoos are modest and proper now. Priests have them. You can't get more modest and proper than that.
Wait, so people aren't allowed to have life history before they turn to religion?
Just because they're a priest now, doesn't mean they always were one.
That's not how English works at all. You're butchering so many words. Please just stop.
Oh you poor things. You're beside yourselves. I was able to take off my leisure suit in 1981, but you folks are stuck with your tattoos. You can quibble over semantics all you want but tattoos are going out of fashion faster than Spuds MacKenzie t-shirts.
