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/

This concept isn't hard to understand and every time someone has a problem with it it's always some variation of being personally offended because they think someone else's safety is actually about them.
You're not different. I didn't ascribe your position, you literally said you're insulted because you've never done anything to justify that behavior.
That's a variation of making it about you because you don't feel like you should be lumped in with other men, even though in the situations this happens in it's because the other person doesn't know you.
You're the exact type of person I was talking about with the exact point the last 5 have all made. I thought it might be sarcasm because you can't seriously be trying to assert the same thing they all did on a comment calling them all out for refusing to get it, but here we are.
Calling me a clown is a cheap cop out to deflect from the fact that your feelings are hurt. Go bait someone else.
I wasn't this specific, so this statement is false. That someone lives in Japan doesn't mean they live in Tokyo.
To not completely waste this, I was talking about people who know me and interpret autistic behavior as a sign of danger.
It's not even about men. I never had that problem with women with the same traits.
A person saying "you're the exact type of person" is a clown.
Specifically for clowns - having your feelings hurt doesn't make you wrong.
You came into a conversation about unknown men being an implicit danger to women, a subject that's a title post and 3 comments deep, to talk about how people treat you like that because of something completely different, not clarify that you're talking about something completely different, and then you're wondering why I'm thinking you're talking about the subject of the post?
I'm willing to chalk this up to a misunderstanding, but your insistence that I'm a clown for defending a point that you made no indication wasn't what you were even talking about until now has left me completely unwilling to talk to you further.
This is pointless. Goodnight.
