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.
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
And there's the line. There's a pretty big difference between "Why won't this program f*****g work" and "Jack you're such a c**t!".
Load More Replies...None directed swearing is therapeutic. If you just hurt yourself, then let out a barrage! You will feel better for it. Stress? Shout "W*nking C*unty B*ollocking B*astard T*wt Ar*ed C*ck Gobbler" Trust me you will feel better. Sometimes people think I'm holding a convention with Gordon Ramsey, Roy 'Chubby' Brown, Samuel L Jackson and Dennis Leary. I'm not but boy am I f*cking cheerful!
The King's Speech showed me that one. Can only recommend that movie.
Load More Replies...I'm Scottish, of course I swear. I don't find it offensive in the slightest and find it bizarre that it upsets anyone, it's literally just a word. Sometimes you need a good swear word as a sentence enhancer - I mean, theres a huge difference between saying "yeah" and "f**k yeah" - I get when someone is actively insulting someone aggressively that is upsetting, but that different to the insult as a term of endearment. There's still a time and place, like I wouldn't be dropping f-bombs at the kids school at parents night. Swearing isn't a measure of someone's personality or decency as a person - some folk just have more colourful ways to make a point
I cuss like a sailor but never direct it at anyone. It's just spicy sentences.
I cuss like a sailor, because I am a f*****g sailor. And an Irish one at that!

But that goes with everything, not just swearing.
Load More Replies...The f*****g irony of this f*****g post f*****g featuring on shitty boredpanda and being f*****g censored is f*****g hilariously un-f*****g-believable!
My thoughts exactly. If you need to censor the exact same word in a # that calls for the acceptance of said word, you might be part of the problem.
Load More Replies...Most of what is considered profanity in English speaking countries, the four-letter variety in particular, are based on good ole Celt, Gael & Saxon words that were not obscene. (The F-word was a germanic word (fukw) that just meant sex. The S-word just meant feces.) It took the Norman invasion of Britain and the institution of a French/Latin-speaking aristocracy that looked down on the people they conquered and the words they used to turn their speech into "profanity." These words are commonly called "vulgar" but in Latin that just means "common."
I say f**k, s**t and damn all the time but I also say please and thank you too
If someone has a difficult time speaking without every other word being f or s (censored for bp), I will dismiss them as not really worth listening to. I stopped swearing mostly due to having kids ( a 2 yr old cursing is not cute). an occasional curse is no big deal .
Definitely agree I worked with someone who would drop the fbomb after every other word. I don't mind swearing, but if it's after every other word or just constant I get uncomfortable. I only swear during video games or if I drop something.
Load More Replies...The problem is that people who swear use the same f#####img words all the f#####ing time and it is so f#####ing damn boring.
The trouble is that people who swear use the same words over and over again and it is sof
Yes. Your mental health issues should not affect anyone else's employment. If you have a problem with a word there are several things to consider. First, it is your problem. Ask yourself why you react like that? Second, the world does not revolve around you. Loom at the context and the other persons situation. Most likely it had nothing to do with you in any way. Third, if you are not a part of the conversation, why are eavesdropping? Finally, know the difference between an explicitive and and insult.
There's no such thing as bad words in my house. Every word has a purpose. But using any word with the intention to hurt someone is off limits. If you want to hurt someone's feelings then there is a whole separate issue of why. Why do you want to call me a butthead? Because you told me to clean my room! Ok, and what upset you about that? Helps redirect my kid away from swearing to hurt in response to an emotion and instead to identify her emotions and what other more effective ways to deal with the emotion or change the situation causing the emotion.
I curse too, but not at work. A cuss word slipping out accidentally is one thing, but a tirade that turns the air around it bright blue is quite another. Everyone should cultivate a better, more professional vocabulary for work, going by what’s appropriate to the field, and save the coarse language for off the clock. If you can’t do that—-and I think for the worst offenders, it’s more a matter of won’t than can’t—-you shouldn’t work around other people.
Obviously BoredPanda team is offended by profanity. It is ironic at best to post this.
It's also complete bs that anyone can be reported for sexual harassment because someone overheard a conversation that wasn't about them and had nothing to do with them. But they were offended. If my friend and I are talking and I call him an a-hole and he's laughing because we're friends and that's just how we talk to each other, that has nothing to do with you and you shouldn't be allowed to report me for harassment. I didn't harass you. Mind your own.
We used to joke that if we yelled "The f&cking place is on fire" our bosses would ignore the fire & drag us into their office to write us up.
I'm not offended at hearing those words, but I find their use coarse and unattractive. I also feel sorry for people with such unimaginative vocabularies.
I once put the first two fingers of my right hand in the fry vat at McDonald's when I was 17. I remember saying "Son or a B****!" I suddenly realized I swore out loud in front of a little old lady at the counter. I apologized immediately and she said "That's ok dear. If I'd done that, I'd have probably cussed up a storm." Sometime's you can't help but cuss. If someone is offended by it...then they can go away.....
People who swears a lot are also more intelligent than average. Something to think about.
I've worked in male dominated industries my entire life. If some bad language offended me, they would have eaten me for lunch. At one interview I was warned that the crew could get a little raunchy from time to time & how would I handle that? Well, if I hear something I haven't before, I'll be sure to write it down. I got the job and the crew loved me.
NO, I object, foul language is a choice, I don't want to hear it. You don't pull your pants down in front of people right?
I'll never understand why people get so worked up about "bad language". You walk past any school at break time, and you'll hear language that would make Gordon Ramsay blush.
Not just profanity. If you hear ideas that you don't agree with and that makes you need to find a safe space to deal with your triggered emotions then you shouldn't be allowed into public. If you put on that outfit and can't hear how f**king ridiculous you look then stay home. You knew what it looked like when you passed the mirror that morning.
Omg AMEN to this. I work in a very emotionally and physically demanding job. I don't work with tiny children and it's amazing how many people are offended by colorful language. Like grow the fk up people. It's annoying.
I’d have the same amount of annoyance even if the foul language was changed to something like “Smurf, Smurf Smurf”, it’s just extra words that are unnecessary and conotate anger or aggressiveness
If profanity offends you, you should not be working at a teen run establishment. Get an adult job where your coworkers and customers are grownup enough to use a better vocabulary.
And these woke babies are the first to hurl expletives at you if you disagree with their political stance, or lifestyle choices.
Recently in the ER one of the nurses had a mouth like a sailor. It’s unprofessional in certain environments and acceptable in others. Know your audience, that’s all.
Why should swearing at work be acceptable? Do you think other offensive behaviours are acceptable at work?
Dutch TV doesn't *beep* out any swearwords. THAT Is freedom of speech.
I swear a lot but there is some jobs where its just not acceptable and I suck it up. Like retail I seen idiots on sales floor cussing like sailors going "were all adults f**k you pussy!" Um that kid in the shopping cart that heard you shout that isn't oh look the mom is hightailing it to the manger, well you a f*****g idiot...
This one makes a lot of sense. I don't swear, and I don't particularly like to HEAR people swearing, but I've gotten used to it. My friends swear. They're still amazing people who have helped me out a lot. At school, work, everywhere- people swear. I'm not going to. But that's me. Unless they're swearing at me or swearing at someone who really doesn't deserve it, I'll ignore them and go on with my life.
I think so too, but I live in germany where it is not such a big problem if one curses.
I'm not thin-skinned when it comes to swearing (I've worked in many restaurants and the language used in the kitchens wasn't for the faint of heart!), and i use profanity as needed, but I hate it when people use f**k as every third word in normal conversation or for shock value. It's just unnecessary and sounds stupid.
Personally I don't like to swear, it kind of makes me cringe when I hear people swear but as an adult I know it's not avoidable so I tend to just wince internally when people swear around me then move on with my day. I'm not going to be ashamed of not liking to hear people swear but I also wouldn't try to prevent a person from expressing themselves however they wish - as long as it wasn't directed at me personally.
As long as someone isn’t saying them at me, let the curse words roll!
If profanity offends you, Australia is not the place for a holiday. Swearing is just part of the everyday down here, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Listen up sparky! Colorful adjectives are selective. It's very easy to substitute G-rated adjectives for others. Your inability or worse yet, refusal to do so, just proves what a POS you really are. Yeah, I know what I just did there...
I would only restrict someone’s language that way if there were pet parrots around. Once a parrot learns swear words it can be really hard to find a reputable bird sitter or a new home if necessary.
I've worked in construction with people that knew how to swear in multiple languages. (Arabic for example) I've heard the "smart people swear" idea and all I have to say is, it's boring. If every meal had salt dumped on it, I'd find it unpleasant. Same thing with your swearing.
I think this is a good example of language evolving, particularly as it applies to social norms. Most, if not all of the traditional swear words don't seem to be as offensive to adults in most circumstances these days, at least in my little world. They tend to be used more for emphasis, even to convey casualness and humor (although they can still be pretty powerful when emphasizing anger). BUT, there are words that- not too long ago- were not considered impolite that are becoming very offensive (with good reason) to most people: the "N word" and "R word" to name a few. Put another way, F**k gets used so often and casually now that I think one day we'll recognize the "F word" as F*g**t instead... I know which "F word" I find more offensive!
Are any words off limit? We have manners so loose talk at parties, bars, etc is permissible. Some people may be offended by D*ck, or C@nt.
While I agree there is a level that is too touchy at a certain point swearing becomes grating. (four times a sentence as an example from yesterday) Certain industries as well, Teacher for example should never swear in front of children.
I agree, but ... Personally, I never swear. I think it's vulgar and a sign of ignorance. But at my job, I'm probably the only person who DOESN'T use the f-word at least once per sentence. I don't go into a catatonic fit over it. I just ignore it. That said, I think it's quite amusing that the people who say that others should just put up with vulgar language are often the same people who demand that someone be fired because he expressed a conservative political opinion or mentioned God in the work place. And they call for laws making it a crime to fail to use someone's preferred pronoun. If you think I should just put up with the F-word? Fine, I agree. But then you should just put up with me referring to a transgender person by the genetically-correct pronoun. Or even saying "God bless."
It has actually been proven that someone who swears usually has a greater vocabulary and it has nothing to do with ignorance. That said, I think there is a time and a place and you should be aware of your audience. I don't swear in front of children or people I don't know. If I know someone doesn't mind then I will swear if I wish to. As for 'geneticically' correct pronoun, now that's just being extremely petty. It doesn't harm you in the slightest whatever a person wishes to call themselves. Being kind costs nothing. Not at all similar to a person swearing either because this is personal.
Load More Replies...Bad words are just a part of normal everyday vocabulary. At least for me. I never use the F word in front of elders though (mother, mil, fil etc.).
Yes, there is something to not intentionally offending someone. But the people that get on their high horses thinking they're, oh so superior, because they don't swear are fools.
Load More Replies...I work multiple jobs. One is at a factory where I regularly hear swear words. It doesn't bother me. At another job at a library I'm expected to tell teens and adults off for using profane language. I'm so use to hearing it I never catch it.
I assure you, that if a librarian told me off as an adult for my language, I'd be having a conversation with that person's boss.
Load More Replies...The military was a Version of the F word inserted several times into each sentence unless you're addressing a superior or are around civilians while in uniform. I'm sure it still is. I cuss but I don't overuse it. The only time I go off on people is if they tell me I can't say "hell". They hear alot more than hell, after that mandate! If I can't say hell then you better not say heaven around me!
Casual cursing happens. Doing it just to be an a-hole because you KNOW that it offends someone is harrassment and should be treated as so under company and government guidelines.
Hurt feelings aren't harassment and free speech trump's emotions
Load More Replies...What the f**k?mother f*****s r always tryna control Other people's f*****g speech.i don't give a s**t if its acceptable or not.but I never cuss AT people.i get super f*****g polite when I'm angry
Again, it's a slippery slope. I will color my language with the occasional, appropriate, F-bomb. Then there are people that use "f**k" as a conjunction and they offend even me.
Serves a ton of purposes. Study shows swearing makes pain subside more quickly. In addition there have been studies that show that people that swear are more honest, and more intelligent. Not lazy at all. It takes true talent to string a bunch of them together. Lazy, hah! Pull the stick out of your ass.
Load More Replies...I would say this is true in a daily life scenario, but work would depend on the type of work environment. If your working a trade job, office/cubicle farm then I agree. But some jobs, especially customer oriented jobs, this may not fit a professional appearance.
Swearing is showing people how inarticulate you are. If you can’t put ten words together without swearing just know that I think u are dumb
Profanity at the workplace doesn't offend me, but I don't think it's professional at all and has no place in a professional workplace any more than bad grammar. I don't want to hear someone say "I'm not f'ing working on this" any more than I want to hear them say "I ain't working on this"
Swearing at someone shows a lack of vocabulary to state your feelings
Swearing because you don't know other words to express yourself is just lazy and low class. This is not directed at the occasional outburst. This is for the people who use it several times per sentence. The English language has so many different words to express yourself, learn a few. If they upset others in the workplace, it would be common courtesy to use the other words that you, hopefully, just learned. Society has morphed into this intense selfishness, me me me, who cares about you. People with this same attitude The raised aggression in the country needs to be addressed, and if watching the words that we use, and the general feelings of people around us, would be a good way to start.
What a load of s**t. I know plenty of words, but none work so well as swear words.
Load More Replies...Swearing has close to nothing to do with intelligence.
Load More Replies...Jeans and hoodies get washed maybe once a month (or three) unless something has got on them.

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.

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).
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...
Load More Replies...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?
Load More Replies...Right? From misogyny to contradiction s, to plain old lack of critical though, what a waste of time.
Load More Replies...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).
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...
Load More Replies...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!”
