Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

Funny, litterally had a convo with my wife about this the other day, in context of the song Killing in the Name lol

How's that unpopular? It's just not popular with a bunch of puritans, who says luckily on the minority.
