On This Instagram Page, People Share Unpopular Opinions And Here Are 50 Of The Most Polarizing Ones (New Posts)
Everyone is entitled to having their own beliefs. Some people keep them to themselves. Some like to blare them out every chance they get. And others have views so unconventional, they completely go against the status quo.
When not every opinion is greeted with open arms, we’re lucky to have the internet where we can spark a discussion with complete strangers. There’s an Instagram account dedicated to sharing some of the best posts from the popular subreddit called Unpopular opinion. From electric vehicles to stuffed animals, members of this community have something to say about virtually any aspect of life.
So get ready to dive into some of the best posts this account had to offer. Upvote the ones you agree with, and, if you want to stir some emotions, share your own disputable views in the comments below. Psst! After you’re done, be sure to check out Part 1 of this post right here.

I agree, too many times people feel entitled due to their age. You don't owe anyone anything. Congrats on the souvenir and the story you will be able to tell your friends and family.
In Finland, speeding tickets are income based. Just as an example.
Sometimes, we're discouraged from expressing our unpopular opinions because of the adverse reactions we might get from the people around us. Whether we’re talking about politics, religion, or popular culture, sharing our deepest beliefs can make someone feel pretty irritated.
However, while some end up scratching their heads from confusion, others see a like-minded person and gladly show their support in heated discussions. After all, a controversial point of view does not instantly mean that it’s uncommon. When you push your fears of being the odd one to the side, it’s much likely you'll encounter others sharing the same thoughts as you.
Brandwatch, a digital consumer intelligence company, was on a mission to investigate the most popular unpopular opinions on social media. They looked at consumers’ mentions from January 1 to June 30, 2020, excluding news, retweets, and shares. Results showed that 1.6M people shared their controversial beliefs in this period. Also, there were 34% more mentions during the lockdown compared to the four months prior.
Greed and narcissism... it's sad, but it's human nature. The majority of the people out there are fake as heck, and will do things like posting videos of themselves crying on the internet as PR moves, to help promote and enhance their brands, to help them gain those clicks, likes, follows, and subscribes. Even more sad is that there ARE the odd few out there who honestly have no one and no where else to turn to, and are using the internet to reach out. But those odd genuine few are usually buried and overshadowed by all the loud popular influencers out there, with their TikToks and viral videos and their memes.
Harassment is the right word. What happened to Diana and other famous people with the paparazzi actually haunting them, spying and giving no Fu*ks. But here's a thought: Who the hell buys those rag mag's is an accomplice bc if they stop buying that filth then the paparazzi will (nearly) go away or at least be way less.
When it comes to the topics people touch on, the top ones were about characters in pop culture, TV shows, dislike of fandoms, and books. People shared their complaints about some of the bestsellers of the century and aired their grievances about how some shows have become outdated. For example, 34K mentions called out Friends "for being hugely popular, despite some aspects not being acceptable today."
The researchers also looked into Reddit, where 958K users shared their gripes. "It seems like lockdown got to Reddit users, too. Posts to r/UnpopularOpinions increased 105%." They found that many of these mentions touched on things that happened on the platform itself. Most of them were focused on sports players, subreddits, and seeing change as not being good.
I read a quote before, wouldn't it be safer to fire blanks at someone than fire bullets at someone with a bullet proof vest
So while it can be fun to share your controversial views online, they also let others say opposing views, have heated discussions, and see things from different perspectives. Anna Akbari, P.hD., is a sociologist, writer, and speaker who shared her thoughts on why unpopularity isn’t necessarily a bad thing in a piece on The Psychology Today.
She explained that if we want to be happy, successful, and feel of service, we don’t actually need to appeal to the masses. "See, we’re complicated beings, each with our own unique experiences, full of biases and contradictions and, hopefully, a point of view," she wrote. "Having a point of view is a good thing, even when that view isn’t universally embraced."
You ruined it with "sure they're cute" because that's the whole point, they're NOT cute, people have just been trained into thinking they are. People need to realise that inbred dogs with serious health problems are the exact opposite of cute.
100% - the cheater is the one at fault - unless the people they cheated with is also someone who you have a relationship with then it's equal blame as they both owe you loyalty. I've never understood the blame being passed to the person they cheat with, and it's usually women who blame the other woman when their guy cheats - I sure there's a patriarchal link to all that that could be deciphered but seriously, they're just a shitty person if they knew he was involved with someone - if they didn't then they're just as much a victim in it all. This idea that men can't help themselves if offered sex has to stop - you don't accidentally have sex - yeah, you may regret it after but you totally know what you're doing while you're doing it.
While we can wholeheartedly stand by one issue, we can also not see eye to eye on another. "Agreeing to disagree on most things in life is fine—assuming it doesn’t restrict the liberty or human rights of others. It’s when we start to think that we need to agree on everything all the time to merely function together that we get into trouble," Akbari mentioned.
Needless to say, popularity isn’t essentially bad. Lots of things that are commonly and generally accepted by our society are considered as "safe". Akbari explained that we don’t have to immediately or categorically reject the popular stuff but rather "selectively embrace it, or at least occasionally challenge it."
Yes, it really should be free. I have been in therapy on and off for years and it has been free (/paid by taxes). It's due to mental health issues so free healthcare = free mental healthcare. I learned a lot and cope much better. I wish it was available to all who needs it. To hear that people live with anxiety, ptsd, depression etc and can't afford therapy to learn how to cope better is really, REALLY sad.
I don't use those sites anymore. If you want me to subscribe, or permit adverts in my ad blocker, or click a cookie thing every time, I just bounce. Enjoy your bouncerate and zero ad revenue. ALSO. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD stop with the f*****g animated adverts. They drive my poor ADHD ass crazy. I can't stand it.
However, if your views are not clinging to the mainstream popular or if they tend to stir some unexpected or even rude reactions, "don't despair. You don’t need to bend toward conformity, and you may even be able to cash in—financially and socially—on stepping outside the conventional bounds."
She mentioned two rules that people who tend to lean into unpopularity should remember. The first one is that you should actually believe what you’re saying or doing. "Disagreeing for the sport of it is annoying and, rightfully, no one likes or respects you if you do that. So stop it," the sociologist advised.
In many cases I would agree but in many I would not. For example If an employee of mine turned out to be a KKK member, or they were videoed ridiculing a disabled person I would fire them without hesitation.
Retired teacher here, so let me weigh in on the realities. For elementary school kids, I'd overwhelmingly vote yes. Younger kids want to please the teacher; they want to be around the teacher, around other kids, in class. HOWEVER, as someone who taught middle and high school for 26 years, this does not work at all. By that time, there are a lot of kids who are looking for any way to leave the classroom. Yes, there are times they need to use the bathroom, but quite often they also want to socialize. There have been groups in certain years (not all by any means) that texted and met up in bathrooms and fought, too. It helps if a teacher has a sign in/out pass, or gives a certain number of tickets per month. Other children who don't have to use the bathroom COULD give a classmate a ticket if they felt generous.
"The second rule is to embrace your unpopular opinions with the knowledge and grace that not everyone shares your point of view," she continued. This rule can be quite tough since we humans have a general tendency to want others to agree with us. After all, it makes us feel heard and valued.
However, following this guideline "starts with a promise to both give up convincing other people to buy into your less popular opinions and to stop shaming them for their own thoughts and actions."
My previous boss (who was an absolute jerk!) used to say "there's a line of people waiting to take your place, if you quit." I did quite eventually. Seven years later and... my place is still unoccupied. And not just mine - two other people also quit from that office, and replacements could never be found. Or someone would start and then quit a month later due to the conditions. I guess the line of people for my spot turned out to be a bit too short ;)
Or, stop suing everyone for making mistakes. Yes there are serious negligence cases, but they're a lot less common than the cases where "negligence" is claimed, but it's just an honest mistake. Americans really need to stop that s**t.
We have to get rid of the phrase "unskilled labour". A janitor needs practical skills far above average (at least a good one does), and the working conditions of courier drivers or fastfood workers require a great deal of stamina and resilience. In any job you can go from beginner to master, working your job better or faster. Even more important, the economy absolutely depends on the jobs we tend to call "unskilled". Usually, in any company, if a middle manager is absent for some days, work continues more or less as usual. If the cleaning lady is absent, you notice the problems after a day or two the latest.
After that, it’s all about trusting yourself. If you believe that some things are just not right, don’t be shy and share your views with others because, chances are, there are people out there just like you. According to Akbari, there is value in dissent. "There’s often truth at the fringes and insight in unpopular perspectives. Greatness comes neither from blindly following nor from knee-jerk rejecting."
"Many of our greatest historical figures held really, really unpopular opinions. They did stuff that made people cringe or even retaliate against them. Going against the grain takes guts. And that courage is admirable, even if we disagree with what they’re saying or doing—but only when executed with integrity from a place of personal honesty," she wrote.
Can we also retire the phrases "She looks good for her age" or "aging well". People get older, women included, and unless we want to buy into the ludicrous, egocentric and expensive cosmetic surgery industry, we are stuck with what biology gives us. What's wrong with looking my age?
I don't get the whole younger woman thing. My wife and I are aging together and it's beautiful. One day we'll both be wrinkly and cantankerous and we'll still be after each other.
I think most men think this way which makes me very happy. It's internet weirdos Hollywood and the media that doesn't respect women at all.

It reminds me of the show "You". Female character (it's implied that she's around 25-30) has an affair with a 19 year old. It grosses everyone out when it comes to light. I checked out the age gap between the actors. He's 2 years older.
The Vision/Scarlett Witch age gap has always stuck out like a sore thumb. Your life and choices are yours, but any Hollywood age gap where one could be the parent of the other is just wrong, and it's why Sean Connery stopped being Bond... although that was because he could have been their grandfather, not just their father.
Disagree. Those are by design. Wanda was supposed to be very young in Age of Ultron while Vision was nothing more than a template for a dependable man. Knowing Tony, it probably was a white male of similar age to him.

I loved that the show never have I ever cast real teens. Then I found out the main love interest is in his 30s. He is constantly making out with this little 17 yr old. It's the equivalent ho my husband making out with my daughter. I am beyond disturbed
Charade: Cary Grant was 59, Audrey Hepburn was 34. Apparently Cary Grant felt very uncomfortable with the age difference.
But in the old days this was pretty common. Old men and unusually young women, girls. Even if the age gap in real life isn't that big, it's implied. Back in the 50s-60s this was the scheme. The woman is quite a schoolgirl but her love interest is a grown man, successfull and around 45+.
Load More Replies... Aaaaand there is casting teenage girls as adult women and love interests to adult men, which is a new fcked up level.
Lol what? Its almost always adults playing teens. Example?

Watch some movies with Audrey Hepburn. Most of her movie partners was played by actors much older than her, biggest age gap was 30 years. I think only exceptions were Anthony Perkins and Peter O'Toole, both were slightly younger than her.
I think it's hysterical the way Hollywood constantly preaches against sexism, but is the most sexist place in America. To get a job as an actress you have to be among the most beautiful women in the country. But ugly men can easily become actors. TV shows and movies regularly portray people making sexual remarks to each other at work. But in real life, these sort of remarks would quickly get you hauled before HR and in danger of losing your job. Etc.
I've always noticed this on tv, and how different it is from reality. I look quite young for my age, folk are always a bit surprised when they're told my age and have a daughter who's almost 18, they think I must've had her when I was super young, like early teens, but nope. I even got asked for ID the other week for a bloody lottery ticket. But I am starting to notice signs of ageing on myself - i'm slightly worried it'll all catch up,with me overnight, but honestly I'm not sure I care. It's exhausting trying to fit peoples expectations- I used to always wear make-up, dress up etc - now I'm bare faced in a hoody and I'm perfectly comfortable with myself.
The bias I find more curious is that apparently a woman has to be younger partner in a relationship - unless it's some cougar drivel or comedy. Imagine a 40ish wife with a 20something husband in a show where that difference WOULDN'T be the major plot point
How about the slug of a husband with the hot, gorgeous wife, a la Married with Children? The slovenly, un-handsome, poorly-spoken, husband with the hot wife? ‘Pretty women out walking with gorillas down my street….’
That too was be design. Supposedly was was a american football quarterback (whatever that is) in highschool and the wife - a dummy high school hottie. The show is a mockery of what happens to the high idols as they suck at life. While those who were nerds in school, are financially successful and immeasurably happier,- Marcy I do, however, agree that even this show played to the old man-young female nonsense. Ed O'Neil is 8 years older than Katey Sagal while on the show they were supposed to be same age.

Age differences between the actors in movies has always disgusted me. I'd love to see a movie with a ten plus age difference between the woman and the man, with him being younger. Women also "age out" of being stars as soon as they reach some arbitrary age or show one grey hair. Don't forget about the entire beauty/plastic surgery industry geared to tell women that they must look like their younger selves. Imagine how many industries would take an enormous hit, if not go out of business if women woke up one day and decided that they were perfectly happy with their natural beauty, without makeup or surgery.
Tbf, Eugene and Catherine have a history that goes back to the mid 70's. They've known each other a very, very long time.
That may be justified in the case of the witch where ale sorceressess overwent some magical procedure to always look 20 or so
I've noticed this especially in commercials, the ones for skin care mostly. It's like women are expected to look no more than half their actual age. Some women (like me) are lucky enough to have the genetics to pull this off without make up and such but for all the rest of them it's always being pushed on them to look younger than they are. What the hell is wrong with having a few grey hairs or wrinkles for God's sake??
that's really interesting - I've never seen it that way. I do look yonger (female, 42 yrs, usually people estimate my age around 32/34) and I've been shocked more than once to learn that an actress who looked a LOT older than me was actually younger. Could indeed be this kind of bias. What comes to mind is the series "the servant", the main actress is 43 but I always put her around 50
The one that bothers me, is a character played by an actor/actress who is *clearly* too young to have accomplished what the character has done.
Except that isn't the reason. Women do the choosing for mating in the human species. Women tend to date up in the socio-economic ladder. That includes older men. That is the natural pairing in humans and so that is why you see it so often. Hollywood didn't create that, that is just the way things are. When they are different Hollywood points it out.
actually human beings just find women at peak attractiveness at 20 and men at peak attractiveness at 30-35 It's not 'beauty standards' it's evolution.
The Witcher is a man and his teen ward, a girl he’s tasked to help not a sexual relationship.
Braveheart: nine year old William Wallace goes away for ten years, comes back as a forty year old man.
It doesn't affect everyone. I was with a woman (18 years older than me) for 22 years before she cheated on me and left me. Now I am happily with a woman that is 12 years older than me. Their appeal to me had nothing to do with their age, and everything to do with their maturity and personality.
I just look at them as people. I got no real celebrity crush cos all the guys look like Ken dolls or like hairy, musclemen on sappy romance novel covers. Puke.
I noticed a version of this when I saw a photo of myself and three girlfriends back when myself and one girl were freshmen and the other two were seniors. My friend and I looked like ten year olds. I figured out that this response of mine was due to so many actors playing teenagers are actually in their twenties. Really messes up my brain.
People aways think I'm like 57 or 60 I have a burn scare on my neck an I am only 27 an lots of people have said I don't look that old but why would someone actually think I'm that old? Like it pretty hurtful .
While it sucks, there are bio-econo-sociological reasons for this. Our current civilisation is a thin veneer over tens of thousands of year of small hunter-gatherer tribes.
We're talking not about people's individual choices here, but glamourising this in film industry. Not to mention, in real life in "western" societies there's most statistically just a couple years apart between partners.

Very true. We also need to start the message that men have value beyond their ability to provide. I got one, prefer my wife to be my age even a little older so we go through all the stages of life together. So we can share everything.
No one says you have to be brainwashed or even watch this stuff. Read a book. Use your actual imagination. A few posts up this guy whined about woman using a flavor in her water. Someone call a therapist
This has everything to do with the ages at which women can best bear children, and men can best support them.
Meanwhile half the movies I watch its some one like 5-20 years older then the female leads char is written with the part. WTF is this talking about? I seen movies with women who had menpause already staring in movies where they are playing a 28 year old who got knocked up lol. Like last time I saw an actress and went "wow she looks like she is 15, imdb 23 wtf?" Oh she use to work for disney I sway they stunt growth on purpose...
Coz men r pedophiles.and they r grooming society to accept that.
Older men can also hide their wrinkles behind facial hair whereas women cannot.
Then you get Parks and Rec and realize that Christie Brinkley is older then Jim O'Heir and be completely shocked
Men always has to have younger women as women their own age are too smart for them....and they know it.
Interesting counterpoint you have. First you low-key justify pedophilia, then fetishize older women, and finally lament Woody Allen as a rejected hero to women! I think we all understand the nature of your "facts."

If you don't trust your partner, then you don't trust your own choice of partner.
We switched my kid to a Montessori school because they got to 6th grade and there was no AP option so they were just sitting there bored. It costs a good bit, but I have no reason to think public schools will be better for my kid than they were for me.
I'll probably be downvoted, but this also applies to the African American label. Your distant ancestors were from Africa,you were born in the US therefore you are American. You don't hear people of Asian or African ancestrysaying they are Chinese English or Ghanian Scottish,they are English or Scottish or just plain British.
Well this is obvious, it also applies to many of the "50 years of driving and no accidents" type people... Yes Mrs Miggins, but only because everyone has done such a good job of avoiding your ass
I swear a lot, but it's very very rarely AT someone. I'm not doing it to offend people, it just comes out :P
Jeans and hoodies get washed maybe once a month (or three) unless something has got on them. You don't need to smell like washing powder, and constantly washing everything is bad for you, your clothes, your bank account, and the planet. End of discussion, downvote me all you like I think you know by now I don't give a s**t.
My husband and I have slept in separate rooms for over 10 years (due to his loud snoring keeping me awake). We are very happy together and have no real problems in our relationship - we just both like a decent night sleep. People assume that we aren’t intimate and/or that our whole relationship is falling apart, which couldn’t be further from the truth.
It's not brave it's natural. This if my face. Don't like it. Screw off
Yup. I've been a passenger while the driver just drove around and around waiting for one of the "good" spots to become available. Finally I said, "If we had just parked in one of the far spots right away, we would have been inside the store by now."
Urgh. My ex-husband used to say that all the time especially during arguments. "No one cares" or "no one feel that way". Well, I do. You can't decide on what to care about or feel based on your feelings and use that as the only truth. Blah.
They say money doesn't buy happiness, but I think this is it...this is the happiness money can buy.
I feel like the human approach to "what to do with the waste/recycling of electric vehicles" will (and probably is) treated similar to the problem of what to do with nuclear waste, and unfortunately, our approach seems to be to sweep it under the rug and let future generations figure it out.
With tweens looking and acting like 20-somethings these days, it's just plain safe to ask.
I went to France twice. One time through the Christmas and New Year's holidays and then again in Summer for rock climbing and rappelling. Both times I and the people I was with were all treated like crap by every French national we crossed paths with even though we were always discrete and polite. Had the same experience later in Quebec. It's left a lasting distaste with me for French Culture.
Normalise being left in read! If you don't want to get left on read don't send me long messages don't send me messages at night and don't send statements like what am I supposed to send ok then you will get mad at me
You’re assuming the lying is about the degrees, not the capabilities (which come with them).
Oh yeah, when I was a kid I got yelled at for "backchatting", and standing up for myself never got me anywhere. And then one day it suddenly became "You need to put yourself forward more! Stop being so timid!" and I had no idea how to do that.
Somebody clearly has met vegetables, and possibly some kids, but not at the same time.
Where do you stop though? Football, rugby and cricket pitches are dotted across my city. Should all organised sport be outlawed? Bottom line is people are paying to use that greenspace so it maintains itself. Parkland needs maintaining and with no income stream, that can end up costing the local authority quite a bit. That said, there is a place for parks and everybody should have access to greenspace, it's just how do we do it and keep everybody happy whilst balancing the books?
Homework turns learning into a dreaded chore, or worse, a big fight. And honestly, to the people who say "well just wait til you're an adult"...it's not my fault you hate your life, Don't try to make your kids hate their lives too. Like what the hell is even that?
I used to work with several women who drove huge feckin range rovers. Exactly one of them knew how to a) drive it properly and safely and b) got it in a parking space the first time. She lived on a farm. It was an appropriate vehicle for her. The others? Wanted to make sure their precious six year old Joaquin made it the half mile to school "safely"
I think if it's done correctly you don't notice that it's there - it's the crappy and overdone ones we notice and then judge everyone by that standard. My ex Co-worker used to get it done every 6months or so and you really wouldn't know if she hadn't told you, it was done in a way that stopped her forehead wrinkling up, crows feet etc but still had plenty of movement and expression - if I ever want it done I'll be going where she did. She looked awesome and at most looked like early 30's when she was twenty years older. Making it readily available via people who have short term courses to qualify is what makes it look horrific
It's partly the fault of Hollywood, and the media in general. Most of us are convinced that once we found "the one" they will complete us, compliment us and fill in all the gaps and cracks in our lives, in our hearts. Not sure that is healthy to be honest - it hypes them up to an unrealistic degree in our minds, and makes relationships more "magical" and unobtainable than they might actually be.
I worked with EMI (elderly mentally ill) predominantly Dementia and honestly, I would take cancer over it. Forgetting my friends, family, loved ones and having to be cared for 24/7 is hell. I had to do it for my grandfather too and watching a strong independent man waste to nothing destroyed me.
It happens in Canada, too. I used to work odd hours, sleeping into the early afternoon, then work in the evenings. When maintenance would come by I'd get weird looks and questioned if I was sleeping or why I'm sleeping. Seriously?! Not everyone works 9-5p, and this is my space to rest when I want. Don't need anyone permission.
Former teacher here. There are three reasons you go to school (at least in the US): 1) To learn a base set of knowledge so you don't look stupid in conversations ("I thought Africa was a country!") 2) To learn HOW to learn. Your style of learning is unique to you, and you need to learn what that is. It's probably not going to be spot on with what the education system has to offer, but you'll be learning how to handle things in that type of environment. 3) To learn what you want to learn. My son is getting a PhD in Spanish Language Arts right now. If he hadn't been forced to take a language in middle school he would never have known that he like languages and had an affinity for them. It's not about learning the right structure for an essay, it's about learning how to organize your thoughts so when you go to write that grant proposal, you do it so well you get the grant!
Clearly you’ve never lived near apple or plum trees. Plums make a mess and w/o pesticides every apple will have a hole in it.
I think 90% (minimum!) of TikTok is a blight on human reasoning and intelligence.
you can't expect teachers to create brand new quizzes for every class. There is such a thing as validity of the quizzes and that can't be calculated if you use new ones all the time. If you're trying to be fair, then you need to know that the same score on a test will actually mean the same thing.
I didn't enjoy New York at all - I found it pretty awful to be honest. It's not my thing, Glasgow is big enough for me
Tipping as a requirement is stupid and shitty management if they aren't paying properly, if tipping is mandatory then just change your menu prices...oh wait, that costs you a tiny bit more in tax. Delivery drivers being tipped? That's stupid, again just charge (more) for delivery. I get good service, I tip, but wages are the responsibility of the management, not the customer.
Huh? I don't think you're spoiled. Why do you need to be punished because your mother can't get you to school on time?
My mom used to go through all of my stuff about every 6 months, always when it was at school or camping or what not. She would throw away almost everything. I learned not to bother trying to have anything and if a friend wanted to give me a gift I'd ask if I could keep it at their house, otherwise I wouldn't have it long. It's probably because of this I'm not materialistic at all and the total opposite of a hoarder. My place is very spartan. No my mother isn't spartan. She's not a hoarder but has a house full of stuff and many storage units full of stuff.
Not sure not showering is "shameful and might be harmful", I think that's the whole point they were trying to get across. There's a difference between never showing and assaulting peoples' noses, and not showering daily while still smelling fine.

There's also emotional work. I'm a homeless shelter manager. It's not physical labor - there's no heavy lifting or anything - but a lot of new hires don't last because the job can be really hard emotionally.

Totally agree with the first part of your post, completely disagree with the second. Trophy hunting does not play the slightest part in sustaining the lion or rhino population, and both are not that big in numbers that the populations would have to be controlled or decimated (, which is the usual reason for hunting in most western countries).
This makes me think of Grandpa Simpson talking about his "walking bird". Every generation has new slang.
There is no way this would be very helpful, how would they get the ages? The only way I can think of is if the kids enter it, and most kids would lie. And the ones that don't lie would be a target for pedos. The idea is just flawed.
I don't think guys get as much flak for not having kids as women do. Hence him thinking it's ridiculous. Once you hit 30 and you haven't had a fertile egg, it's open season from the mommies.
Caring about how other people drink water is childish. She might have a taste sensitivity. I wonder if there were other issues here. Sounds like Op doesn't like this person for how they act, too.

Unpopular opinion: people are getting so trigger-happy about calling people Karens that it's making more docile people afraid to speak up, especially women. I've never heard the word 'entitled' get thrown around like it has until recently. It's getting to the point that people are saying someone is entitled just because they did something that was a slight inconvenience to them. If that's not entitled, I don't know what is.
I agree. Some people (men and women) act "like a Karen". But nowadays its used mostly to harass women everytime that they are assertive

Nah I think a lot of these are pretty uncontroversial and some are really arbitrary. I think the person is targeting more conservative people, or just trolling (like the one about juice).
I have an unpopular opinion. I don't think anyone should be able to have pets or babies until they have passed significant psychological testing. I don't care about rich or poor. Some people should never be allowed to have responsibility for other living beings. If I ran the world, I'd be very unpopular, because I would be a terrible dictator and not tolerate most of the s**t that goes down in the world.
Well, we do license for driving but not parenting...

Unpopular opinion: BoredPanda reposting Instagram that is reposting/stealing Reddit. How deep can we go?
I don't understand why these are considered unpopular opinions I agree with almost everyone
You want something unpopular? I love human much more than I like animals. And pets. It doesn't mean that I dont like animals, or that I will harm them. But if I have to chose between a human an an animal, human will always come first. And I'll strongly judge you if you don't do the same.
Well, the top part of the list were again not unpopular opinions. The extended list was pretty lame. Not sure why I read to the end.
Unopoular opinion: men and women being half naked/in tiny outfits and dancing “sexy” on TikTok shouldn’t be allowed. Want likes and maybe money for looking like that and doing sexy things? Fine. Make an OnlyFans account. TikTok is used by SO many kids and they should not be watching that. I’m so afraid of my bf’s 8 yearold niece seeing a - way too - skinny girl in a bikini dancing sexy and getting thousands of likes, and thinking “that’s what I need to look like. But I don’t, so I wont ever get that many likes and nobody will ever like me!” And the same for young boys, for that matter. Both the “girls should look like that or nothing will do!” or “I don’t have a six-pack like him, so no woman will ever like me!”
Calling out a brand, business or company on something they are doing that is fraud, like for example, randomly adding extra data and thus money onto your internet bill, gets people called as Karens all the time. And these scammers get off scot free. They don't cancel your plan, when they were the ones calling you every week when you weren't a subscriber. They don't cancel or change your plan back to what it was unless you call them five times.
People commend Poland for taking in so many Ukranian refugees - yet African, Indian and literally any non-white students in Ukraine were restrained at the border, some were even beaten and abused. Poland doesn't need to be glorified for doing what is expected of them as human decency.
So this time BP copied an instagram account that copied reddit instead of copying reddit directly
I’m smiling and shaking my head at the fact that the hockey puck post was upvoted the most (of all topics discussed). Does this means that’s it’s the least polarizing of all the polarizing posts? Maybe the one thing we can all stand united on is that if we witness someone catch a ball or hockey puck at a game, we celebrate their win and let them keep it, guilt-free? 😁

Unpopulair opinion: Bubble tea is a waste of space and only popular because people say it's popular.
This s**t is nothing new. The hard reality is that people have been highlighting and pointing out and attempting to make better some of these issues for decades but the younger generation is just into calling them “boomers” and thinking that their revelations are new if unique snd the world needs to bend to their will. I get why customers are pissed office, some have good reason to be pissed off. Hell, how difficult is it to do your job with integrity?? BP is loaded with threads on what doesn’t work, what’s wrong and how things “should be”. It’s a hard lesson to learn that the world works for the ultra wealthy, not the little guy, yes it’s been getting worse, thank the GOP (the party of fear, gaslighting and greed). You want to make a difference, then invest in the work its going to take instead of being a huge part of the problem. Whining and bitching without learning what it takes to change things, just dismissing a whole generation IS A HUGE PART OFTHE PROBLEM!!!
If the gop is so greedy why is it liberals spending all the money?

Right? From misogyny to contradiction s, to plain old lack of critical though, what a waste of time.

No it isn't. Most of us appreciate other cultures. They aren't the same thing.
Load More Replies... Unpopular opinion: almost none of these posts are unpopular opinions or controversial in any way
Yep, kinda signing off most of them. Basic common sense of human decency.
Load More Replies... Unpopular opinion: people are getting so trigger-happy about calling people Karens that it's making more docile people afraid to speak up, especially women. I've never heard the word 'entitled' get thrown around like it has until recently. It's getting to the point that people are saying someone is entitled just because they did something that was a slight inconvenience to them. If that's not entitled, I don't know what is.
I agree. Some people (men and women) act "like a Karen". But nowadays its used mostly to harass women everytime that they are assertive
Load More Replies... Nah I think a lot of these are pretty uncontroversial and some are really arbitrary. I think the person is targeting more conservative people, or just trolling (like the one about juice).
