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/

Someone told me to post this here and that's all I got to say.

My popular opinion is that I don't like this flavor of subcommunity

because you're only getting the parts of the story that you find, remember, and put in their context.

this works for me. maybe it's ADHD. movies and tv shows are the same way. the ones I like, I watch over and over again, but never with my full attention. (usually watching while bonking something in a game). it's fun that way! you get to experience it like new over and over. you'd be surprised at how many times I re-watched the Big Lebowski only to discover some completely new detail each time

I'm sure it works great for a large subset of gamers. And I don't hate those games at all, but the story isn't as accessible to me. That's alright, I don't mind spoiling myself.
