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/

Do you hate them more than patriarchal figureheads like Andrew Tate, whom take advantage of this unfairness to deride feminism and reduce any femininity to be a threat to all men?
I'm a guy and I do get it, it sucks to be lumped in with the rest. And if asked, of course you disagree with Andrew Tate. You're a good guy and feel dismissed. But this viewpoint is very male-centric, and I mean that with the utmost empathy.
Women, almost universally, will experience much worse sexism than being called trash (they are also called trash in certain contexts). So if individuals need to be human and vent their frustrations in a way that doesn't consider you, it is okay to feel bad - but saying "that's feminism" is misleading as feminism theory does not conclude this.
Yeah, no, Andrew Tate needs to fucking fall off of a bridge onto a large rusty spike and scream for several hours before he finally dies. People like him that promote toxic masculinity as if it is in any way a good thing are some of the worst people on the planet.
Not to mention that he is a rapist and a predator and a sex trafficker. Like, that's even aside from that. Just his ideology itself deserves him death.
