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/

People who complain about how popular the super bowl is are more annoying than football fans. (poptalk.scrubbles.tech)

I get it. It's not your thing. Just don't watch it.

If you hear someone say they hate video games or a movie they like oh you'll never hear the end of it - but when it's something they don't like they'll complain for days.

They'll make lame jokes like "I guess they're all watching their sportsball". Just so condescending and "I am very smart" for not watching.

Personally I think a lot of it stems from "The sports kids made fun of me in high school" and rather than rise above it, they have become the very people they hated back then.

Just let people enjoy things. Football, Video Games, who cares. Just enjoy what you enjoy. I like football, and nerdy video games, and rpgs, and really just stop trying to put people in boxes and let people enjoy what they like.

I'm sitting in my parents livingroom watching it. I don't like football but my mom loves it and she makes a bunch of food. So I'm happy to play along.
