McDonalds' burgers do not taste good at all. The same holds true for Taco Bell's tacos. This is an unpopular opinion? I thought these were well known universal truths. Anyway, I must confess to loving black liquorice. |

How long do we think we'd last if we all took a shot every time someone posted an opinion that isn't actually unpopular on this thread?

Probably not very long in all honesty, at least here in this honestly rather warm community.
I can't stand gore and ultra violence in my shows or video games. I love a good fight scene or horror game, but seriously, blood and guts don't impress upon me anything other than how gross this thing is and why I should stop watching.
Also, basically all modern political snafus happen because NEITHER side is willing to be reasonable. If you're calling someone else names or stereotyping or anything else that doesn't relate directly to the conversation at hand, you're part of the problem, and anyone willing to vote for anyone who use smear tactics should go take a nice ice bath and take a step back, then go vote for someone willing to run based on something reasonable.

All "unpopular" opinions are kind of all the same: "I don't like X character" or "The Y movies were good". Plus, there are opinions we don't really want to share in a place where everyone can see them. Although Undertale's "Megalovania" is an overrated track compared to "Burn in Despair". And while we're at it, the majority of Undertale's AUs are kind of...meh. I mean, Outertale is just the regular game but with 20% more stars, and Underfell is what the game would've been like if made by aquilus3 . And So Sorry isn't a useless OC. He's kind of cute, and funny. He doesn't deserve hate. Unlike Glyde. |

Well considering McDonalds is statistically the most popular fast food restaurant, and most people I've heard say anything about it think it's okay, or at least no worse than any other fast food place... |

I think the problem with qualifying opinions as unpopular is the negativity bias people have

He's kind of cute, and funny. He doesn't deserve hate. Unlike Glyde. I agree with So Sorry being funny... but cute? No. Then again, I really can't identify with any of the characters in Undertale except for maybe Sans when he's at his lowest? Depression probably helps with that. I really just can't bother to care. Made doing genocide a whole lot easier than I imagined, at least on the moral side. Outertale is crappy. I love space, so, so much, and this guy is like "WOW, LOOK AT MY FANTASY SCIENCE THING!" and then they added cool cute blue outfits to everyone and made them quirky and spacey! That really pisses me off. Underfell is also crap, because it's on the whole other end of the scale. Come ON, maintain a gray morality. At this point you're just removing what little shred of hope a game had... and without hope, despair can't preservere, can it? |

It's not an issue to you because you don't have to deal with it. It's not that the genders are new, it's that people are only now starting to pay attention to them, and that brings with it the people too lazy to understand who just want to make fun of people for a part of their identity. And I REALLY wouldn't go around "stepping on" people's triggers. Triggers are often related to a traumatic time in people's lives, and intentionally triggering them is akin to, if not exactly, setting off their PTSD. You know, as a joke. |

I don't care about superhero blockbusters and never will. They're all shit in my opinion.
Also, CaNWC looks like sheer idiocy. Like Retardedstuck. It's the same principle after all.

I think stalling against the opponent can be good in Pokemon competitive with the right Pokemon and the right strategy.
Saying this because on the 2016 Pokemon VGC Finals comment section on YouTube people are arguing over the morality of timer stalling.

I don't really think anyone's "toxic" here except you, buddy. And I don't think you really care about any PTSD vet, I just think you get a kick out of hurting people, and I hope you get over that. I was like that in high school, and I like to think I'm a much better person now. And... who said anything about Tumblr? |

You mean to tell me that ever since we apes first starting thinking of better ways to throw rocks at one another, there have always been some of them who were "Obruogender" or "Turbogender"? Okay, everyone agrees that those are ridiculous. No, I mean, things like third genders are actually quite common in many cultures, such as the Indian Hijra, the Native American Two-Spirits, and Thai Kathoey. Even in the British colonies in early American history, there was the case of Thomas(ine) Hall. Genderqueer people have always been around, cis people just haven't really been exposed to them until now, and of course they're getting offended. EDIT: Looks like the OP was deleted. Oh well. This post is informative, so it's staying up. |

Plus, the OP did say, "I don't get the point of new genders", which excludes those cultural ones with a shred of legitimacy to them of which you speak. |

What exactly defines "legitimate" genders from those that aren't? The judgement of cis people? Is there a set of guidelines a gender has to follow to be considered "legitimate"? Please tell me, I'd really like to know. |

So just mere moments after you yourself called those genders 'ridiculous', you're now questioning my passing judgement on them? I promise you, the people who identify as things like that are like 99.99% just kids figuring themselves out. It's silly, but I'm not going to argue with them because why would I? They're just being introduced to the entire concept of not being cis, because apparently being cis is the norm. And please, answer the question. And after that I think I'm done with this argument, because nobody is going to change anyone else's mind and everyone knows that because this is an internet forum. I'd rather things not get any more heated than they already are. |

They're just being introduced to the entire concept of not being cis, because apparently being cis is the norm. And please, answer the question. I meant 'legitimate' as in 'well precedented, with a significant number of people adhering/identifying with them'. Not exactly the correct usage of 'legitimate', I know, but I didn't really know a better one. I do think that all genders have equal 'realness', whatever that 'realness' may actually be in the end. Anyway, to keep this thread on track: Unpopular Opinion: I hate rainbows. I think they're gauche and over hyped and not pretty at all. |

Ok, so I wanted to apologize for what I had said. I was hoping people wouldn't find what I said offensive, and when it was pointed out, I realized how badly I phrased it,(although any other phrasing still makes me sound like an asshole) I sorta froze and hoped it would blow over. This was incredibly cowardly of me, and I want you all to know I apologize and don't want this escalating further. I probably won't delete OP as a lesson of what NOT to do.

What I'm saying is that these warnings are completely pointless, and solve nothing; yet there are people who would socially ostracize you for saying that, especially where I live. That is what I mean by toxic. Sorry if i come across as condescending or a complete douchenozzle but i don't enjoy this kind of "protect everyone at all costs because they're special little snowflakes" where I live. Seriously though, you do help people get over their issues through confrontation. That is an actual and legitimate therapy strategy, people. I'm not particularly sure where you think that overlaps on quitting drugs cold turkey or broken limbs. No one expects them to just forget they have PTSD, no, they're exposed to minute amounts of what troubles them under a controlled environment so that the issue slowly resolves itself when they recognize there's no real issue with these things. |

I guarantee you that this mentality existed before Tumblr, and Tumblr is just a convenient bogeyman for you and your kind. Trigger warnings have nothing to do with "special snowflakes", and I don't see how they're inconvenient to anyone when they're just a sentence at the beginning of something. You know those "This video contains explicit content" things, or movie, TV, and game ratings? Those are pretty much trigger warnings. I don't see you complaining about those. If you're being socially ostracized for not believing in trigger warnings, it's not because everyone where you live is a special snowflake, it's because you're a dick. |
