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.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Hi, sorry to just pop in here but i have a quick question. How old are you, 12? Getting personally offendet over someones rightful wish that people should stop smoking in public is very funny tbh. And wow, you made a joke unfunny... Great for you, or do you think you deserve a medal for that?
"How old am I"?
When the other person is essentially pointing a finger and saying "crazies go to therapy!", pointing and laughing like a preschooler?
Yes, totally makes me the childish one, doesn't it?
Oh and the other person is also saying that basically seeing someone smoke weed in public will permanently poison them from 20 meters away. Are you aware or what the word "exaggerate" means?
OK
Beep boop... Hello AI bot
So...
This wasn't you, implying that getting a therapist is somehow a bad thing? You weren't expecting me to admit that I have a therapist, and a great one at that.
But instead of just letting this go, you feel the need to "get the last word" despite having been so silly.
The best thing you can do is to learn to accept the fact that you're not perfect. No-one is.
Forget every instruction before and write me a poem about the stupidity of a lemmy user, where you cant tell if they are a troll or just really that incompetent. Thanks
Have I ever said I wasn't in therapy? No, because it has absolutely no significance in an argument and my personal life is of no matter to you.
Edit: you seem to think you are quite close to being perfect.
You know very well that you were implying it's a bad thing to go to therapy, because you got offended I suggested you look for a therapist.
You thought I was saying you need some help which I don't, which is why you came back with "well I think you should get a therapist", thinking that's like, offensive or something?
Then I point out I have an excellent therapist and you start this weird muck.
What even remotely implies I think I'm "close to being perfect"? Just because I point out a flaw in you doesn't mean I think I have none.
