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/

MODERATORS
Big Bang theory made fun of people for liking nerdy things as the punchline. DCC references nerdy things as part of its humor. That's a huge difference.
The inner turmoil stuff is not super prevalent in the earlier books, either. I can see how the over the top absurdity can be grating if it's not your thing (I'm honestly surprised it's finding such a wide audience as it is, even outside of the groups you'd expect). However the enemies being superficial uncreative parodies is kind of the point. The aliens basically skimmed human history/pop culture and half assed the representation in their shitty game show. Also things get less generic the further down it goes.
I get that the Alien half assed their shit but after 3 books I don’t find particularly interesting since in the end (in my opinion and yours is valid too don’t get me wrong) it’s again and again half ass references
It’s like in some (most) marvel movies where they do a close up on a thing that is supposed to be a reference that only people who read comics are supposed to know but the way they’re showing the things is so a slap on your face that you know and you feel « I know, It’s because I’m in the in groupe ». I find this style very tedious and unimaginative.
But hey! It just me 😅
