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.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Ehhh, I'm torn on the vote for this
On One hand, it is unpopular, in that nobody really thinks this. It's also unpopular because I think most people, if not damn near everyone, would think it's stupid and reject it entirely based on the obvious flaws in the comparison even if they didn't disagree.
However, the post looks like rage bait, and you complained about voting, then you veer into mild nastiness. Which makes it likely the post was rage bait.
If you hadn't edited in the crap, I'd have up voted because the original post was a perfect fit for the C/. But, dude, that edit is just lame. So I had to down vote.
You make a post in a community like this, you take the votes as they come. You don't whine about them, and you don't turn it into some kind of ego weirdness.
My dude, really. I couldn't care less about internet points that you explain how you're carefully deciding who is deserving. Seriously. Nobody should.
This was a casual reflection that amused me and then came the next one that I added as an edit.
Though I admit it was my mistake to get invested for a moment and try to explain and make people understand my point. That was quite silly and pointless. Social media is what it is.
