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 wasn't trying to be mean. I have no shame about masturbation. I wasn't being sarcastic or snide. I meant what I said genuinely and without prejudice. You're using a machine because it's easy, self fulfilling, and you don't have to worry about the complexities of interacting with another person. How is that any different than using a vibrator? If you feel shame about this or using a sex toy by yourself, maybe you should reflect on those feelings and analyze if they are helping you or hurting you.
Sorry about misinterpreting your tone then. In that case I simply just don't understand what you're trying to say there or why what I said made you feel that way.
What part wasn't clear that I didn't explain in my previous comment?
I don't understand how that's what you got out of my post or how this relates to it. Responding feels like defending a view I don't hold.
Talking to you is like talking to a chat bot and I don't like it.
There's an easy solution for that.
I think you prefer the chatbot because it wil only talk about whatever you want to talk about. Real people have their own thoughts and experiences, and in a typical conversation both people express those based on their perception of life and the topic at hand. But you can't seem to handle hearing other people's perspectives because they deviate from your own thoughts and perceptions. To you, this is other people misunderstanding you. But I think they do understand. They're just not hyperfocused on discussing exactly what you want to discuss in the way you want to discuss it, and tbh that's not something you should expect any human to do.
Most people like that are unable to steelman my position when asked. That how I know they infact don't understand what I'm actually saying and thus are arguing against a view I don't hold.
Despite your resolve, none of what you just said is actually coherent or shows any understanding of the above comment in context, just like an LLM.
