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'm tired of Luigi memes (lemmy.ml)

People glorify the actions he took, but have no intention of doing anything to improve society. Say what you will about assasinating someone who is objectively an awful person, the folks who spread these memes do little more than that. Spread memes. Want to make the world a better place? It's as easy as pickin up litter in the grocery store parking lot walking in or volunteering in a soup kitchen. Make the world the kind of place you want to live in with small steps rather than (or in addition to) glorify someone who took large ones.

Picking up litter is going to make more health CEOs disappear? Whaaaaat?

I wonder if down votes mean you successfully demonstrated an unpopular opinion

[–] svc@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 15 points 1 week ago

Because you know that if someone takes two minutes to post a meme, they can't possibly find the time to contribute to society with the examples you provided.

I'm tired but for different reasons. If we start glorify assassination, then we are on a very slippery slope. Next thing would be to justify death sentence, for instance.

I disagree with the idea of volunteering for anything, that just cuts other people out of a paid job.

Also, they're shutting down the soup kitchens over here in the states anyways.
