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

Whenever I see someone complaining about subtitles, I assume they didn’t learn to read very well
I want to be able to do other things while watching, or if I sit down to watch exclusively reading the subs means I don't pay as much attention to the animation. That said, if it's a show I want to watch, I don't mind subs, it's just not what I prefer. What I really dislike is subs on stuff in my language, they're distracting for no reason and just annoy me. I read a lot in school instead of having friends (unfortunately), so not a bad at reading issue.
“I prefer x to y” has a much different meaning to “x is better than y”
I would prefer dubs but subs to me do not detract from the show at all
I can watch details of a show and take in more of its meaning when I don't have to stare at the bottom of the screen and see the rest with periferials. Subtitles were likely better on TVs 32" and smaller. A 55+" TV and you really are missing a lot of the effort put into the film/animation if you are stuck having your focus shift to the bottom of the screen (not where the film makers wanted your eyes resting/darting)
The complaint is the way people act about it. Which you're kind of acting like now.
