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
You misunderstand- I do not think that your judgement means I can't like something. I think your judgement is ill-founded and dependent on assumptions that you have as a product of not relating or enjoying the things you're judging, and I'm passing judgment on it exactly in the way you're passing judgment on what I'm saying. Only I think my judgement is actually well founded, and I think that's reflected by the fact that no one but you disagreed with or disliked my comment, where many people have otherwise agreed with you.
That's a transparently bad faith straw man, and you look like a moron for saying it as though its anything less than a transparently bad faith straw man
I'm ace. I don't generally find people sexually attractive lol. Not really a thing that happens for me.
Hopefully this clarifies the situation.
I don't know that I believe thats an honest reframing but frankly it doesn't matter. A 'general you' still implies it's true for me among others.
If its not true for me, maybe, just maybe, theres a way of relating to this you just don't understand, and not everyone who enjoys romantic coming of age stories is a horrible person who wants to fuck children. Just maybe.
