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/

Unpopular DEGREE of opinion: if you participate in a gender-reveal ceremony of any kind, you're already an unfit parent, and your kid should be taken from you, at birth. (lemmynsfw.com)

Note that I'm not just talking about the shitheads who cause forest fires or water contamination, with their bullshit. I'm talking about ANY of this dumb shit.

People used to have some goddamn dignity. If you wanted to keep the sex of the baby a secret, then you'd have both pink and blue cigars ready to hand out, after the birth. If you wanted the doctor to tell you, then that's fine. You'd be talking to your friends and you'd go "yeah, the new kid's gonna be a girl."

The whole concept of an extra baby shower, just to hoot and holler about that shit is FUCKING INTOLERABLE.

As far as I'm concerned, it shows that these dipshits are only interested in their offspring as accessories to their own lives. They're after the attention they can get, off the back of their children. They're after the lifestyle of being a parent, so they can associate with other people who define themselves based on the social and material trappings of parenting. And they're drooling after social media likes and views.

Anyone who participates in that shit is proving that they're not interested in being the parent of a human being. They're just making a doll to dress up and pose for pictures, starting before the child is even out of the womb.

To reiterate the title: if it was up to me, everyone who has ever had any kind of gender-reveal nonsense for their upcoming kid should have that child seized by the state, hopefully to be raised by real people, rather than soulless degenerates.
