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/

(and that's just for starters, without even going in to all the other issues with it like how creepy it is, and how much children deserve their safety and bodily autonomy respected just like everyone else, but I wouldn't expect someone who calls others mentally ill for wanting to protect their children to understand such things)
Paranoia is a mental illness too old chap
And ableism is just plain old bigotry, you wannabe edgelord.
Got any more RedditPhrases©®™? Would you like to call me a Strawwhistle
So is pedophilia.
This is a really bad hill to die on.
Saying things like this makes you sound like a creep too.
"Y'all are too prudish to let old men politicians make out with your child at the local Jacksonville N̶M̶B̶L̶A̶ Republican convention meetup!"
Politicians are worried about drag queens when they themselves are the abuser in WAY more cases.
