The Unpopular Opinions thread

[Alienfish]

people who think that teens/adults/(anyone who isn't a young kid) wearing clothes with animal ears/tails are weird, are some of the most insufferable people. like it's literally not even hurting you or anyone else so why tf you gotta make a big deal out of it?

I don't like that clothing at all but I agree with you, unless you hurt people by plastering ****post patches on it, wear what the **** you what.

Also yeah I dislike a lot of clothing but it's not that I go tell people up their face what to wear and not lol.

To be fair, that should apply to a lot of things. People want to be too involved in others’ lives. If it’s not affecting you, mind your own business. Let people live how they want.

My sister was like that where she tried to tell me how to live my life and try to more successful like her, but then the moment I disagreed with her she just cursed me out and just went passive aggressive. We haven't spoken since then. I just wish people in general would understand that everyone is different and they do things differently. We live in a world where society tries to tell us how to be like everyone else, but I learned that is not true.

I always hated this sentence that my parents used to say "We just want whats best for you" That is such a bad thing to say. You don't get to decide a person's life based on what you think is better, its your life and you have to make the decisions you learn for yourself while growing up. To clarify I am trying to say that people should not make decisions for you, its you who has to make those decisions yourself because its your life and nobody has to tell you how to live it.

I have a few family members who understands where I'm coming from, but sadly most of them including my sister don't seem to get it and it rubs me the wrong way when they try to guilt trip me into doing stuff that they think works for me but it doesn't help me at all. I know they mean well but this is not the way to do it.

I think making decisions for yourself is the way to go. If it’s not a good decision, you don’t need people telling you that. I’d rather do something and learn from my mistakes rather than not doing it because someone advised me not to. I think this is important at a young age because you learn to be independent and make decisions for yourself. It’s better to learn right from wrong rather than being told right from wrong.

I grew up with a lot of toxic people so I was around the wrong type of people which explains why I have a spoiled mindset and why all these years later it has make me so numb lately. Its rare for me to find any good people who at least understands me but the people I had to deal with throughout my life just ruined me and I am not going to let that continue further, because I've had enough of it.

It's interesting how some people act when you stand up for yourself. You quickly learn who is really there for you and who isn't.

^^ 100% agree with all those things. Especially when it comes to parents, they need to learn when to step down and stop messing with their kids' lives when they're obviously past legal ages.

Blue Christmas lights are the absolute worst, especially if they're flashing. They're so cold looking you know? Also if they're flashing they remind me of emergency services, which isn't the nicest thing to think about (police, ambulance and fire services all use blue flashing lights in the uk). I don't know why they're so popular, they're ugly.

Tbh when Christmas lights are actually FLASHING (not twinkling, they're fine) they annoy me. Save them for a rave. My neighbours who live opposite have flashing white/yellow lights and I thought the grit lorry had pulled up outside, yikes.

One of my neighbours have blue/red flashing lights hanging at their window. Every single time when I look out of our living room's window I think at first the police or an ambulance is there until I remember that it's those stupid lights. It's already painful to look at them from the distance (because they flashing quite fast, not pleasing for the eyes at all imo), a mystery for me how people can even enjoy having such lights without getting an headache from them.

I somewhat agree. I think pizza is okay, but I have to be in the mood for it. It’s not a food that I want on a weekly or even a monthly basis. I think there are much better foods out there. I also only like certain kinds of pizza. I prefer Pizza Hut whenever I’m in the mood. The only good pizza from 7-Eleven is the cheese. Other than that, it’s kind of nasty. I know that from working there and that was my lunch.

if i HAVE to eat pizza, i'll only eat it from little ceasers. i just hate all the grease and cheese w pizza. i dunno, ive never liked super unhealthy foods so

People who use personal attacks are rather immature. I think we can do without “you’re ugly” or “you’re fat” when there are disagreements. Why don’t we use words and explain your side rather than flaming the other person and using personal insults? (Also this isn’t directed at anyone in particular. This is just an ongoing trend on Facebook and other social media I see that pretty much everyone will resort to personal attacks.) Like, can we be mature adults here?

The “Cal Arts artstyle” is actually pretty great. It's simplistic, but the shows that use it generally do a good job of standing apart from each other.

edit: The original unpopular opinion I shared was phrased poorly, so I went with a different one.

When an argument or discussion turns to personal insults, it's over.

I don't like it that much but at least it's better than all those tacky animations trying to be anime or just retro that's aimed at certain kid audiences.

Also I don't get the whole "I love cheesy christmas movies" thing... tbh they are just so bad and I'd rather watch some boring action as tradition honestly.

mario games didn't get good until yoshi's island.The controls were too loose until then[i used to think that about mario 64 but my opinion changed], i feel walking is too slow which is bad when time limits existed back then, and running is far too fast. Megaman 3 on the NES and megaman X on the SNES were the best platformers on the system and the games that should be remembered for innovating the platforming game genre back then.

Honestly, even if it is political, you are not required to care about every single thing in the world. I feel like this shows that people have such a lack of boundaries. You don’t have to have an opinion on everything, and if you do, you don’t have to make your opinion on every little thing known. It’s okay to not have an opinion. It’s okay to be indifferent.

Spoiler: Adult Content

I'm so done with TV shows and films portraying graphic sex scenes and saying it's crucial to character development and the overall storyline. No it's porn with a slightly better budget behind it that as far as I'm concerned has become far too trendy for it's own good in recent years and sets unrealistic expectations and standards for (some) viewers when it comes to sex in the real world.

The music they play in retail outside of the Christmas season is just as annoying if not more annoying than the music they play during the Christmas season. At least the annoying Christmas music songs you only hear for two months, the rest you hear 10 months of the year.

This, and I hate the passive-aggressive opinions people post about this matter too. No I don't care about every single thing politically because either a) i don't know enough about it so i'm not gonna open my jaws or b) it's ruined by woke people so i couldn't care less trying to get my voice heard cause it'd get drowned. sad but true.
