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.

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.

My first thought is that this sounds totally reasonable but I'm afraid that actually putting it in practice may become a slippery slope. It sounds a bit like eugenics, honestly, and when the fascist Republicans take over again in the next election cycle I could totally see them taking something like this that started with the best intentions and turning it into something terrifyingly evil. Don't forget, in the US multiple states are currently passing laws that will make gender-affirming treatments to underage transgender children "child abuse" and will allow them to prosecute parents and healthcare providers. I'm sure many of them would love the opportunity to sterilize the parents of transgender children. Why stop there? Maybe they'll go ahead and sterilize the children too- just to be sure.
Alex Luiz 3 years ago
I was about to lay into you for the 'slippery slope' argument, but sadly you are right about the transgender issue and where it could lead. I used to work with social services. I knew families with 6+ kids who had well-documented histories of child abuse, and jail time for said abuse, who still somehow kept custody of these children. Maybe not permanent sterilisation, but one of those implant thingies that lasts a few years? Give the mum a break to sort herself out, if she can. Some people just really, truly, should not be parents.

How can people be pro-death penalty but anti-abortion? It doesn't make sense.
Vickie Whitecotton 3 years ago
I was a foster parent, having abused children in your home makes you recognize that forced birth control should be the minimum sentencing for abusive, neglectful parents. If the state has taken your child and you have lost your parental rights ( understanding that sometimes the state is wrong) you should be required to use birth control until you can prove that your ability to parent has changed. No one should have multiple infants removed at birth because their right to procreate trumps a child's right to not be born into that situation. I'm not sure how this can be evenly applied as women have many more options when it comes to long term birth control compared to men, but we need to figure that out. Foster care is a nightmare for more children in the system. The children in these systems are not thriving, they are surviving on top of the trauma they have already endured. We must do better and by stopping the influx of babies to known abusers.
Alex Luiz 3 years ago
Thank you. I have worked with social care, too, and you have put this so succinctly. A lot of people seem to think sterilisation is to stop the abuse, not to prevent abusers creating more victims. Not only do child abusers frequently make more children to replace those taken away, but that they don't even lose custody in the first place a lot of the time. Also, how is it 'reformation' to have another child and not abuse it? If someone already has multiple children they can bloody well do their repair work with one they've already made, rather than starting from scratch again.

Some offenders are sterilized as part of their plea deal. Not all and not frequently, but I remember reading about it. We have to be careful though. In ancient times Eunuchs (castrated men) were considered "safe" to be around the concubines, but many still had their parts fully functioning. For abusers, the thrill is power, not necessarily sex.

First, the death penalty is NOT legal in very many countries, or individual states in the U. S. Second, are you suggesting that forced sterilization would stop that individual from abusing children?
Bobby 3 years ago
I don't support capitol punishment, but I do see some holes in this logic. Based on the idea that it protects society as a whole, killing a murderer prevents that person from murdering again. There isn't much research on sterilization affecting recidivism of child abusers so all that likely does is: Cost taxpayers even more money for an operation, cause pain an suffering to the offender, and likely do nothing to prevent him/her from reoffending. Mandated continuing therapy is my preferred alternative. Wait, that fits in with reformation and I live in USA, NVM ignore everything I said

Most people should be forcibly sterilized. In fact every little girl should be put on birth control from the first time they bleed until the point where they are finically secure, and emotionally prepared after having taken extensive parenting classes and proving they know what they're in for and how to actually deal with it. You need to be licensed or certified to do and endless number of things, but bringing new life into the world "eh, as long as you find someone that wants to f**k you, you'll figure it out!"

I agree to a point. The definition of, 'Extreme child abuse' will be determined by different people and is subjective. One judge may determine that any physical contact with a child is abuse. Obvious cases of extreme physical or sexual abuse, sure, but the ones that aren't so obvious is where it gets tricky
Carol Emory 3 years ago
Actually, here in the USA, there is a condition that the person or persons involved in cases of extreme child abuse are not allowed around children again. If they have another child, it is immediately taken away upon birth. The state can also, barring religious prohibition, require parolees to get a vasectomy or under the skin birth control. They've already been doing it as a condition of getting Welfare in some states.

Some parole boards have required sex offenders, who want to be paroled, to take sex-drive suppressant pills (and pass piss tests to prove that they really are taking them), as a condition they have to continually meet to not be sent back to prison. The paroled sex offenders who've done this have a noticeably lower rate of re-offending than other, similar paroled sex offenders.

I feel the problem with legalized killing or sterilizing of anyone is the potential for abuse. Since the emergence of DNA research it has been proven that many many people are in prison who are completely innocent. Until technology caught up there was no way for them to prove their innocence (and usually their guilt was not cut/dry either but they were convicted none the less) I personally wouldn't want anyone else deciding a medical issue for me, even for the greater good, when there is an iota of a chance that they could be wrong. Would you? What if it were your son or daughter that was being wrongfully accused and you could do nothing to stop the government from killing or sterilizing them. I don't believe it could happen, I believe it WOULD definitely happen to someone. What if that someone was you or someone you love? Is it really worth the risk?

Well depends on what you mean by sterilisation... because simply taking away their ability to have kids, would technically be better for them. Castration to the point where they don't have any drive and can't use their bits - yes, that's what they need.
Tuna Fish 3 years ago
I thought they tried that already and some of the abusers who were castrated ended up abusing kids with their fingers and mouths instead since they didn't have working sex organs anymore. Sex abuse is not sexual it's mental and I don't believe you can fix it. Personally I think we need to study it so much that we figure out how to control and then prevent it. It may never happen but there is definitely no easy solution like castration or pills or whatever.

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."

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."

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.

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."

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

Some people should never be allowed to have responsibility for other living beings.

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.
