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/

Until you realise ideas and beliefs are a part of people.
That people have a right to their beliefs that don't affect anyone else
But they don't have a right to have those beliefs politely accepted by the rest of us. That's my point: I don't think they should be. I'm not advocating for secularists to actively ridicule believers; I'm saying I don't think the societal expectation should be that we just smile and nod when someone professes a belief that is patently untrue. There should be perhaps some eyerolling and gentle correction, but not bullying.
What about the belief that a male can become a woman (which is defined as an adult human female)? It seems that belief is being pushed onto the rest of us. It seems people only hold this true when its beliefs they disagree with.
Sorry, lost me. Never said womb.
I also wish they didn't- one of my other posts discusses this - ill paste it here:
I think you have hit on a good point here, and an area society still needs to mature in.
For years we hated the gays, different skin colors, different cultures. We grew past it and came to the (general) agreement of "you do you" as it doesn't affect me and its not my right to dictate what you feel or who you are. Religion is a significant steeping stone as it does actually affect others and is deeply woven into society and government, but needs to be the same. Your religion is your religion, and you should be free to practice it bound by societys laws and ethics - but it should not affect those who choose the atheist path.
So fuck everybody? Like what dude
Opposite- fuck nobody
