What are some unpopular opinions you have?

Question

- I don’t like Christmas. It was exciting as a child but as an adult, it’s nothing but stress.

-I’m not a big dog person. I posted about that here once and I got called a psychopath and got accused of being a dog abuser lol.

-this isn’t unpopular with straight people maybe, but as someone in the LGBT+ community, I think a lot of gender and sexual identities are kinda ridiculous.
For example, neopronouns. There are people who will go be pronouns like “zee/zer” or even “kitty-them, kitty-self” like bro just call yourself “they/them” lol, I’m not calling you fucking “zee”

people like that are the reason non-binary folks who are simply trying to go be “they” aren’t taken seriously. It’s a mockery to the community.
I try to be open minded because I always preach “even if you don’t understand something, you should still respect their choice” but it’s hard to take someone who’s trying to identify as “kitty-self” seriously. Get therapy 💀

The whole none-binary thing is just a bunch of stupid BS - I think you are what you are from a biological POV and although I do feel for trans-people, but just because you feel a certain way, it doesn't mean you are what you feel. This doesn't mean I hate trans people or will treat them like shit, definitely not. The whole none-binary thing is just a slap in the face to trans people who actual have gender dysphoria or whatever it is.

Chocolate flavoured things taste like crap whether it's ice cream, brownies, cakes, e etc and although I've never tried the white chocolate versions, I'll assume they'll be good.

White chocolate is the best tasting chocolate, like almost every white chocolate version of something I've had, just tastes better.

Fizzy/sparkling drinks taste like crap and would taste far better without the fizz.

Western invasion of other countries are based off of lies to steal resources - the west is a better place to live regardless, but it doesn't excuse invasions of other countries that would at least be better off than how some of them apparently are today.

I'd rather not be brought into this world and I think anyone else being born would rather not either.

This whole religious idea of a god is very messed up, like if he's got that much capabilities, there's no excuse for creating a crappy reality and then telling people they will suffer continuously if they pick the wrong faith.

I’ve never liked Christmas. It’s born of a lie anyway. Theologian scholars determined that Jesus of Nazareth was most likely born in the spring. Ell oh ell!
Capitalism is at the heart of everything that is destroying western society.
The democratic and republican parties should be outlawed and everyone who identifies one way or the other should be excommunicated.
We should have to pass at least two tests in order to vote, and three to hold office. An IQ of at least 115, a comprehensive test over government systems past and present, and a polygraph.
Public servants should make minimum wage with no sick pay or vacation pay, and they should have to clock in and out. Lobbying should be outlawed and every public official who has ever taken money should be put in prison and all of their wealth and assets liquidated and distributed evenly among registered voters.
You should have to register to have children, and registration should include a series of tests. There should be a cap on the number of children anyone can have, based on income and how well they score on those tests. Yes, this would mean some people would never be permitted to have kids, and that’s a good thing.
I can go on. Most of my opinions are unpopular. Ell oh ell!

Unpopular opinion 3: I prefer listening to the radio or reading a book than watching TV.

Unpopular Opinion 10: Androids are better than iPhones.

Unpopular Opinion 11: Cardi B makes music for women that shoplift at yard sales.

American football is ridiculously boring. All the stops. I’d rather just play catch with the ball it would get more use.

That NBA basketball courts should be resized to fit the actual height of the players they pick since now vs when the game was first invented. Then let's see how good they are.

Screaming when excited… why do people do it? Go ahead. Just don’t expect me to join in.

Automatic soap dispensers… why? You’re going to wash your hands after touching it anyway. It’s a waste of electricity.

Why don’t they make urinals for woman too? The line would go much faster. Private stuff in the cubicles, like men. (Nobody think you can steal this idea the patent application ink is still drying and will be mailed in, in the morning)

Why do they still have brooms when you can leaf blow everything? Nothing like a good spring cleaning blast to air the house out.

1.  I think "bisexuals" are  disgusting  and should stick with their own kind.  If you're gay, fine be gay. I don't have a problem with people being queer/gay. But  don't  cross the border over into Hetero Land. Same for transpeople. Stay in LGBT Land and  leave us alone . 2.  Star Wars was never that good and only got famous through self-hype.  You can like Star Wars all you want, but I wish people would stop calling it a masterpiece.  3.  I genuinely believe 95-98% of all human beings are too stupid to deserve certain rights like voting and reproduction.  Regardless of what side of politics they are on. Left, right, it doesn't matter. Up until recently, I used to think that only the woke left were the mentally deficient ones. But if you bring up abortion to any conservative, you find out the right is no less stupid. Only now do I understand the World Economic Forum people like Klaus Schwab and such. Like the ending to "Kingsman: The Secret Service," where the elitists wanted to reduce world population and because only the dumbest people end up breeding anyway. (Before, the world was "saved" that is.) I do sometimes think that maybe most of humanity doesn't deserve freedom if THIS is the kind of reality is what we get with it. At the same time though, I doubt "owning nothing and being happy" is legitimate either. I just don't know who to support anymore: the  evil but intelligent elitists , or the  slightly less evil but extremely stupid everyday folks ? And those are my three  very unpopular  opinions.

FinalFantasyBro · Answer

Unpopular opinion but I generally prefer adulthood over childhood, as a kid I wasn't allowed to do most things, you are flat broke and can't do nothing about it and the worst thing of all you have to do whatever people who are above 18 tell you all the time. And failure to do live up to restricted or bullshit lifestyle results in you being punished and majority of the time it will be the adult who cost the problem.

As an adult while yes your body grows weaker and you have to have responsibilities but the freedom and independence goes along way and I can handle having my own decisions and sometimes failing over not being allowed to at all.

Another pretty unpopular opinion I hold is this why are there so many people who honestly sexualized children especially little girls. You can try to defend this however you want but I personally find little kids beauty pageant to be fucking disgusting and slightly creepy. Most little boys and girls shouldn't have to worry about their physical appearance until they at least get to 16 through adulthood at least.

Because of complicated history and stuff you ll hear that Cyprus is Greek. Cyprus and Greece are two different countries they have the same language same anthem that's why people argue that we are Greek. plus traditions cuisine that are also Greek. But it's not only Greek Cypriots here there are Turkish Cypriots and honestly still hope for a reunification between the two sides of Cyprus with no involvement from Turkey. It's stupid for me that our anthem is the same as Greece's and it sings about sacred bones of Greek warriors when Cyprus is a multicultural Country. A racist country but still...

Lionman95 · Answer

I don´t think that equality or social justice can be ever achieved because there will always be people that say they are oppressed by others.

I consider porn more harmful than good.

Social media makes me less social and more entitled and is not helpful to improve society.

Science is always influenced by other interests than the common good.

Individualism and ignorance will one day destroy humanity because people will become more and more entitled and expect others to step down while they themselves can still live in their bubble so less people will get into relationships.

ADFSDF1996 · Answer

I’ll keep this apolitical because I have so many political views that are unpopular that I’ll run out of space to type. I don’t watch football as I prefer Jiu Jitsu and judo Fallout 4 is better than Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 3 in regards to visuals and gameplay Call of duty world at war had a stupid cliche storyline but had great gameplay and graphics.  I wear slim corduroy pants even during the summer because it’s a very comfortable material  I prefer M43 Feldmütze and it’s variants over the common sporting cap because they are way more stylish I think most modern music is bad as most modern music doesn’t have melody. I drink black coffee  I hate porn because it gives me anxiety I only listen to classical music, polka, opera, Christian hymns, Christmas music, military songs and film/video game scores. Working out with grippers is more admirable than bench pressing

1#We've created a generation of weakness and sloth.

2# The US Constitution and Amendments should be followed.

3# We should utilize the huge amount of natural resources that we just sitting here in the states.

4# Pronouns and sexual identities are fucking stupid. It's ridiculous that you can run around and say and believe as an adult that your a helicopter or that your sexually attracted to pancakes , or that you have sex with tree's and people will encourage that. 30 years ago people like that were put away into mental institutions because they were not mentally sound now they are just running around in the streets freely.

Some of my many unpopular opinions or as it used to be known common sense.

I believe America can do better than it is under the current leadership. I believe that the people spoke in 2020 but the elites are making too much money this way to do the right thing. I believe that men and women are equal in value but have wildly different psychology and abilities, and that those differences compliment each other and both need the other no matter how much individuals may not like it or disagree. I believe people are their own first responders and have the right to the equipment and training to make that realistic. I’m not really a fan of capitalism day AKA Josh’s fake birthday aka Christmas either. I believe in personal responsibility, and that government handouts are the hand that holds you down. I believe in equality of opportunity, but not government enforced equality of outcome which is impossible. Why should I be punished because someone else doesn’t work as hard?

RealMarek · Answer

Here’s one about the schools. The level of chaos and dysfunction is unacceptable, but the teachers cannot discipline the students in any meaningful way. I would end compulsory education for high school aged people. If you don’t want to learn, leave instead of creating a bad atmosphere for everyone else. Also, prison and juvenile detention is counterproductive, so restore corporal punishment in public for minor crimes, bullying, and the like. The prospect of getting whipped in front of the crowd at the beginning of a football game would make someone think twice about vandalizing school property, shoplifting, stealing shoes, or beating up the unpopular kid. Also, it would teach the offenders a lesson without wasting years of their life in a detention system that seems to make hardened criminals.

-I like the Starwars Episodes 1-3. I think Hayden's acting is ok. I was not annoyed by (Darth) Jarjar - more like.. meh.

-I do not mind using CGI on 80% of the movie.

-I liked Man of Steel.

-I don't like the Harry Potter series. I only watched because of Emma Watson (she's about my age, so technically we "grew up together"). Reason being is I wanted a movie where wizards cast fireballs, not some push spells. And I have not read the books.

-I am fine with LGBT, I respect the +, but I do not understand the +. I do not like that they have parades and stuff. For me, it's too much. I just want them to be treated normally in the eyes of the law and not be bullied.

-What China is doing (surveillance) is actually ok-to an extent since it lessens crime. And before American Freedom fighters gets on me, it's not for everyone. We have different cultures. Freedom affects us differently.

Sandeeppingping · Answer

1) Hitler was right

2) Slavery by white people is the best thing that happened to black Africans

3) Racism is necessary since we as humans are extremely tribal (Just look at all our "social groups"

4) Glad George Floyd is dead

5) Lmnop community is a mental illness, they do the opposite of what we as humans are supposed to do, reproduce (Well I give the lesbians and bi women a pass, everyone else no giving us aids and monkeypox along with how disgusting it is, just no)

6) Feminism to the extent it has reached is insane

Quite frankly I think the last 2 aren't that unpopular, they're probably too popular if people were honest, but yea everything else is controversial af

ElementoP · Answer

I don't have any. I just think what everyone else thinks because I have no idea who I am and I wanna be cool and fit in. Without the acceptance of other people and strangers on the internet, I'm left stuck inside my own head, just to realize I have nothing to offer the world and nothing that makes me special. So I have to feel like I'm part of something big in order to keep me from swallowing a bottle of pills with a pint of vodka and leaving this world, a world that confuses and scares the living shit out of me

Roseboy · Answer

i think cars just need to go
like we should have thinner one way roads, tiny car parks and great public transport
the only people who really need cars id say are people in rural areas because of how far away they are from anybody

also i think supposedly incredible schools deserve less credit - many people who go to them consider them to be mediocre, the reason why loads of successful people come out of them is just because they only accept geniuses

maybe that one's more popular I don't know

I support euthanasia as well

Hamilton is overrated, Mandalorian is overrated, squid game is overrated, stranger things is overrated (I can go on)

then like you i dont get much enjoyment out of Christmas but for me also throw in Halloween - i only really enjoy Easter

and i agree with you on neopronouns

msc545 · Answer

- I am against abortion because I sincerely believe it is murder. I have believed that ever since as a student I first saw an ultrasound of an unborn child in the uterus. I know life when I see it, and killing babies is wrong. Calling them by a name other than "babies" or"children:" as women like to do when they have to justify murdering them does not make the murder any less of a crime.

- I think that guns are a possibly good idea for home protection, but I do not believe that open or even concealed carry is reasonable or safe. People are just too impulsive. I have my own guns which stay at home.

- I think that people who are Covid deniers might be the most stu[id people on the planet. I am weary of their constant ranting.

LordOfThePines · Answer

I don't believe in abortion restrictions of any sort, nor do I believe you should feel like you have to justify it to me or anyone else.

I am not a patriot, and I see no reason why I should be.

Ironically, the internet has ruined society.

I believe wholly that one should use ones firearms to defend life and property.

The police and government cannot and should not be inherently trusted. Trust is earned and they have not earned it.

Fromdusktilldawn · Answer

(living in Luxembourg/ Germany) That our society/politics is way to softened up and too welcoming to immigrants. Criminality rate skyrockets, our culture gets flushed out by African/oriental/hispanic culture, they built up drug & human trafficing networks, they have no respect, refuse learning our ways, dont adapt and have high demands and we are supposed to let that all happen. If we say one word we are called racist. Our grandparents rebuilt our countries after ww2 and worked hard to reach what we have today and now immigrands come and expect to immediately be as rich as we.

BlueScorpio · Answer

Man I agree with you about Christmas, when I was a kid it was so exciting but as I grew older it just became repetitive each year. Its the same old Christmas songs, the same old movies (grinch, a Christmas carol, home alone etc.) and trying to find something everyone would like just got exhausting. After while i just told my family I didn't want anything and I have skipped out on few Christmas shoppings and gift swapping.

ObscuredBeyond · Answer

Forget opinions, there are unpopular facts that I *know*, and then there are willfully-ignorant asses who will refuse to believe it in spite incontrovertible proof! Past a certain point, I drop the hammer on them, and then walk away. It's pointless to argue with them any further.

CalmMind · Answer

1: And good lord I know the hate I'll get: Feminism (TODAY) is irrelevant and often hypocritical in its application. I will explain if someone actually cares to have an honest non-rage fueled debate.

2: Hate speech should not be outlawed. How do we know where the crazies are if they don't have the opportunity to self-identify and instead quietly fester?

3: Video games are just as addictive as alcohol.

normalice · Answer

I think we should give the right whatever they want in regards to trans people in sports, surgery, etc, so that all conversations about trans people with the right be forced to exclusively be about bullying.

Epstein didn't kill himself, Barr did it.

When democracy falls the media is exclusively to blame.
