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.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

I’ve never understood why people get earrings, despite them often being unattractive.

Eh, I’m not a fan of lipstick on women. There is nothing inherently wrong with either. It’s all a matter of personal taste.

Red lipstick in particular. It makes everyone look like a clown. 🤡

I find makeup in general, and in fact hair colouring, mousse, etc. not attractive. I'm not saying it's unattractive, but it makes me think, "why would you do that?"

I suspect it's related to probably being on the spectrum. I find it difficult enough to understand people's unspoken thoughts and emotions, without all the distraction and camouflage.

A very good "normal" example of body modification, just not as permanent. And there are degrees to that as well...I've seen lipstick colors that just enhance the lip color and give a sheen that I don't think twice about, but even my favorite celebrities look off putting to me when made up "heavily". I'm a bit on OP's side as far as preferring the natural look, although minor studs or a small tattoo somewhere don't catch my attention in a negative way, if I even notice.

Seconded. Actually the whole "every woman has to wear makeup, earrings, purses etc" thing. Yes, many do and many people find it attractive. But not everybody - let people be themselves...
