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.
Those are excellent examples and I'm not disagreeing with you. But this line of thinking is a slippery slope. Klansmen and bullies harm people, (the former, as an actual murderer, much more so than the latter). But some CEOs might think being gay or getting an abortion is harmful, and could fire someone if "harmful" is the bar that justifies termination. Now imagine all of the things a close-minded CEO could potentially find "harmful." This is exactly why censorship is so dangerous: Because we can't have random people, businesses or churches determining what is harmful for everyone.

I dunno. If Brian is in a cult, to be honest, I don't think I'd trust him with billing. If Sharon attends white supremacist meetings every Tuesday, I wouldn't trust her to work customer service. If Fatima is a lobbyist for anti-smoking laws and buys a tobacco farm, I not sure she's the right fit for the job.
This. If someone is openly, publicly acting unethically outside of work, I can't trust that they're going to act ethically in private with our clients. It's a lot more about character and trust.

I feel like this is quite an American thing , correct if I'm wrong. As a Brit, I've hardly ever heard of people being chased by their employers outside of work hours
You should be allowed to do porn on the side, on the top, or on all fours.
I now know there is such athibg as 'Dungeon Master at a kink club' and now im wondering do i roll for persuasion or endurance . . .
I would say this is situational. If an employer and employee negotiated such terms before employment then that's that.
I think the whole point is that it's none of their damn business, so it should never be "negotiated". How about the employee negotiate what the boss does on their weekends? No? That's ridiculous? Exactly.

There are some jobs where your activities outside of work are of much interest to your employer. Over the years I've had a few jobs which have required me to be vetted before I am even allowed on site. Other than those, and unless it is criminal activity, it has absolutely nothing to do with your employer what you get up to in your own time.
I completely agree. But I also think that you probably should keep your personal life private, and make sure that your employer can't see the things you get up to on the weekends. They can use this information as a view into an employee's character.

I've never heard of this but I have heard of people being in trouble at work because of something they've done outside work and posted about it on social media - but I agree, as long as there isn't anything illegal going on it's none of their business and if it doesn't effect your work performance then what's the issue? Employers don't own people, it's a job, not a lifestyle - jobs are for money to survive and enjoy life outside of working - the absolute audacity of businesses acting like you're their property is disgusting. People, keep your social media private and don't add anyone from work - or have separate accounts for the boring stuff and the fun stuff
And is this an american thing? And what does such a code even say? I won't be a dominatrix in my spare time?
No it is now common in a lot of professions from their regulatory associations. Many have "if you do/post/say/attend something we do not like, even if it is in your own time and you do not identify yourself as belonging to the profession and no one can easily identify you but if we go massively digging and find out it was you, and we decide it has a possibility of bringing X profession into disrepute we will crucify you as much as we can and make sure you cannot work in X profession any longer". Many professions now have it as a mandatory, unavoidable, clause that you have to agree to be held to, to be able to continue working in said profession. The regulatory boards also like to send out email reminders etc threatening members regarding said morality clauses from time to time if there are situations arising or adverse publicity regarding an issue....allegedly
Load More Replies... It's fine until you get found out. You are okay with your child's teacher being a porn star? A ban on moral turpitude is there for good reason - most parents do not want to explain such things to their young children. At least we let teachers marry now.
Um... suppose you're the sales representative for a product, but a potential customer recognises you from "Only Fans". That would be rather awkward, and have a negative impact on the product. So most definitely your conduct outside of work has an effect on your job, but there are no hard and fast rules. Use common sense, both the employer and the employee.
I think drug testing should stop or updated if I want to get high on my day off it's my biz make a drug test to tell how long the drug been in your system if it's more than 8 hours to your shift it's good your not high at work
If your job is law enforcement, you can't be breaking the law. If you job involves the education or wellbeing of young people, you can't be behaving recklessly or inappropriately with children. The internet has removed a lot of privacy for people, and that's the problem. I shouldn't know or care if a child's teacher manages a kink club. But the internet has made it so that we can too easily pry into everyone's private business.
Well... I mean, workers are like the face of the company. If it's something that you'd get fired over or makes you look bad I'd at least not bring it up
I think the employer has the right to choose who they hire, and if they don't like things you're doing, they should be able to fire you.
While I agree in theory with this. If your job is customer based and your hobby can be easily googled (or facebooked) then unfortunately you have to watch that. No one wants to work with a salesman who on the weekend makes videos promoting violence towards blind kids or something like that
A coworker ran into me out in a club. Coworker expected to hang with me and my mates. I told her we are not working. This is not a work function. This is private time. Go away. She discovered some of my personal views via observation. The following Monday, she tried to get me fired. What we do or how we think in private, off work away from work, should not be justification for losing your job
The company I work for doesn't have a morality clause as long you don't bring the company into it. If you want to have an Only Fans, have one, just don't put it out there that you work for [company name] while you are doing it. You want to sell sex toys on the side, go right ahead, but don't do it while wearing a company shirt and then post pictures of yourself in the company shirt while holing sex toys.
"doing porn". Your employer finds out when they go to their favorite site to watch porn and see you
Load More Replies... Yes - I agree! If you have to work another job to support your family. Either your employer pay you more so you do not have to take on extra work - or keep out of it!
Having to take multiple jobs already is a sign of a labor market gone wrong. Living off one full-time job without having to work another one is not a socialist utopia, it is a necessity. Also (, apart from very few examples of self-employed people or project contractors), having multiple jobs is a very american thing that is nearly unheard of in other countries.

This is the first one I kinda disagree with. You represent your company and reflect their image. If you are involved in something that is against their beliefs/ ideals, it reflects poorly on them. As an example, I used to work for a bike company. Safety was a big deal and something very important to the company. One of the rules was that we had to always wear a helmet when riding a bike. They even reimbursed is 100$ a year (or after an accident) for a helmet to make sure we had one. "Is easier to re-brush your hair than it is to re-learn the alphabet"
Sometimes their personal life does impact their job, for example you wouldn't want a racist in charge of who gets what help
If I'm an employer, I'm going to make sure you're not a Nazi or KKK or pedo BEFORE I hire you. If you lie, you're gone.
you lost me at teachers because ive seen countless teachers thinking its ok to bring that into the classroom. because inclusion and s**t.
Simple: outside your personal moral standards, not illegal means not wrong. Perhaps we need two sets of legal codes: an objective one for clearly definable harm and a subjective one for moral/emotional harm.... with appropriate punishments.
Employers are not morality police, I agree, but some behaviours can be worrisome warning signs indicative of aberrant choices which may leak over to the workplace.
disagree with this one. If I am a drunk idiot crashing every party, doing lapdances for strangers, hooking up with every body etc then I am just not a good representative of my company where discipline and strong morals are key and client depend on me to make good, reliable decisions.
My state is an "At will employment" state. That means your employer can fire you with no justifiable cause. To expect staff to toe the line outside of work hours is foolish and unreasonable. If they want to fire me because they don't like my hair, they can. So I take those threats lightly.
I'm a firm believer in my private life being no one else's damn business but mine. My responsibility to my workplace begins and ends the moment I step through their front door.
Maybe a dungeon master at a kink club has some educational abilities that are badly needed in a school...
Sorry, but I don't think it's a black and white as this. To some extent, I agree, but if you were, say, employed by xyz restaurant and posted on your facebook account 'I'm an employee of xyz and their food is s**t', I think that's grounds for the old heave-ho.
Disagree with this one. If I had a business and hired porn stars or dungeon masters, it could lead to ‘tarring my business with the same brush’. It could also affect the way employees interact with each other, and not in a good way.
Sorry but the cancel culture barbarians and the companies that go along with whatever they say are the culprits here. If you have a business, and one of your employees does something unpopular like support Trump, or send money to the trucker's protest in Canada, the banks and other ancillary businesses that are necessary to the survival of the company you work for decide to cancel them, that business is screwed. You are now out of business because one of your employees did something completely legal. The reasons you list in your post would only help businesses now. People rarely get cancelled for moral reasons; they get cncelled for political reasons.
The only issue I have with this idea is that your behavior outside the office can be seen by clients too and can have an impact on how they view the company. It's a trust issue. When I worked for a heart clinic, I was told I had to quit smoking at work and on my own time because they are constantly telling at risk patients to stop smoking for their health. They didn't want a patient seeing me light up and think I was a hypocrite encouraging them to smoke. Your companies requirements are based on outside appearance to clientele.
yes and no... doing p0rn or being in a cult is VASTLY different from being a KKK member or being a proud boy or harrassing the homeless for fun...
We've got very good workers rights in my country. Don't think employers are able to do that here.
If what you do outside of work is illegal, and you are convicted of it, it's up to the judicial system to mete out your punishment, NOT your employer. If it's not illegal, it's nobody's business what you do.
This is normal here in Germany. Always baffling to see stories from the US for example, where people were fired for something they did in their free time. That wouldn't be legal here.
It honestly depends. For most people, who aren't well-known enough, it shouldn't matter at all.
On the day I became a resistered nurse, there was this tiny little part of me that was really sad about the fact that - no matter how completely deserving of it they may be - I could never again just punch a b***h in the face. I mean - seriously - there are some situations in our personal lives when that s**t should be completely warranted... but nope. Punch a b***h, lose a license. I worked too damn hard to get here, so I I've gotten pretty good "using my words" 🙄
The only restriction I've ever had on outside activities is a restriction on paid compensation for a competitor. Though I've mostly worked in San Francisco -- ran into our company's CFO at a sex club once (Not sure the Power Exchange is still there, it closed for a while). Wasn't as awkward when I saw him at work as I thought it would be, he was very confident about his sexuality.
So if I were working for a hoity toity company and decided to rob a 7 eleven I'd be in deep doo doo?
So the writer of this thinks that dropping a couple of tabs on the weekend should be grounds for termination? Oh deary, deary me.
Everyone, here's a real easy way to stop the morality clause "you've damaged the company reputation" b******t from happening. Stay off social media. That's it. If you can't bare that burden, than at the very least....make your page private, don't list your place of employment, because i promise you absolutely no one outside of those that directly interact with you in real life, doesn't give a s**t about anything you post. It's just creating the potential for you to f**k yourself because you want to believe that your life is important enough to "share" with billions of strangers dedicated to being offended on behalf of people who don't give a s**t to begin with.
Surely this is a US thing, If an employer in Australia tried this BS they would be before FairWork Ombudsman within the week and fines would fall from the sky like magpies.
The problem is that it can make them vulnerable to exploitation by others and then put your business at risk. But , in principle, I agree.
I agree to a point. Actually almost 100%. There are jobs, mainly involving children where some extracurricular activities will be a problem. I am hyper protective of children. Adults and normal business, correct. None.of their damn business barring illegal activities.
Our junior manager is a populist and an anti vax ( also an a.....e on the job) We are all secretly acting for his fall. After two years tables are beggining to tien. Guess who has a huge grin on the face while another seems less entitled and self insured?😁
Think this is more a case by case thing as well. For a normal job sure, and so long as you don't do it in their uniform if they have one fine. However if you're a major public figure and effectively your "job" is to be a representative of them any time you're in public (pro wrestling, pro sports, anything where you're easily recognized and associated with the job) then it's kind of warranted.
This assumes that a person can be totally different at work than he is in his personal life. Like I've often heard people say, "If you needed heart surgery and the best heart surgeon in the world was a drug user, would you refuse to let him operate on you because of that?" But of course that begs the question of whether a crack head really could be the best heart surgeon in the world. Likewise, if I knew that a job applicant was cheating on his wife, surely it would be fair to wonder, If he doesn't live up to commitments he made to his wife, will he live up to commitments he makes to me and to the company?
Tbh it really depends on the job. A school teacher probably being the ultimate example for me.
Mmmm... I'm an employer, and former employee... I created a company where I expend more time than in my home... I want to create an environment that I liked, and that means hiring people with my believes, way to see the life, education etc. If you do not like it, find some other place to work... period!
I think position in a business is important here. Lets say I'm the public face of a company. Everything I do reflects upon them. If my conduct outside of work doesn't match with the public image they want, then they need to find a new spokesperson right? If I just answer customer service calls, well I'm anonymous to a degree and my activity shouldn't matter
I would argue the cult bit as the person could bring their cult beliefs into work and try to force them on others, including customers but the rest is bang on
Well, that's most of the Christians out of work then.

guys, can you please provide an example of a morality clause and what type of copany would issue this
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
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.

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.

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).
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
