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/

MODERATORS
Maybe they think it's not an unpopular opinion. (But yh, more likely they just don't understand the concept of the community)
I have to agree with you on the second part. It really feels like people do not understand the concept after reading some comments.
Are you only allowed to upvote?
Downvote if you find the post relatable or if you think the opinion is popular, otherwise upvote

I think a lot of people are downvoting, because it feels like yet another approach at body-shaming.
Seems like you just kinda think the human body is gross in general
Have you ever seen a human body?
Yes, many times! Haven't you? They're like, everywhere
I know! And they're so gross!
Eh, some are kinda hot, ngl
?
Some bodies are hot
[._.]
yea
Please don't let this community turn into the Reddit one where people downvote actual unpopular opinions. Good post OP, you weirdo
Or, you could leave people alone and not look at their belly button if that offends you.
when did i say i didn't
am allowed to have opinion
But what if it winks at me?
What's gross about it? It's just skin. You have it too. Are you grossed out by your own skin? Why is face and arm and hand skin not gross, but belly and chest skin is? Is wearing shorts gross because you see leg skin?
Some skin is different. Would you prefer to see my face skin, or my ball skin?
If you're gonna make me pick.... come on. Let's see that sac
Depends, what does your face/balls look like?
it’s weird skin
Nah you're weird.
.,_.
maybe because it doesn't get enough sunlight?
?
Because if you look into it deep enough it will tell your fortune.
I can't in good conscience keep that to myself.
Same. I'm a dude but quietly judge any other dude who has their shirt off in a public space. Beach? Fine, that's kind of why we're here. Running down the sidewalk? Put your shirt on you attention whore. It just seems... Extra
Running with a shirt on can get very uncomfortable and start chafing because of the sweat. I don't think people taking a run with their headphones in are worried about what other people think
I'm a runner and never really had that problem. Then again, I've never been super buff. I think that's why a lot of sports shirts are on the tighter side. To still uphold that social modesty while providing a barrier between skin to skin chaffing.
As long as they're sexy...
I feel this way about teeth. They're nasty.
Weird outside bones
Well women who wear leggings as pants need equal scrutiny
Good for you!
Me reading this while I wear no shirt.
Sounds like you have been isolated from the human bodies form so it hasn't normalized for you.
belly buttons can look awesome, but whew try smelling whats fedtering in yours.
My dude, you're supposed to clean it. Get some liquid Dial and go to town. Make sure you dry it thoroughly afterward.
If you only said this about men being shirtless you'd have probably been up voted.
