unpopular opinions

Do you think people are too sensitive? Or that Superman isn't so super? Think cats aren't cute? The Beatles are overrated? Love pineapple on pizza? Maybe you just don't like chips rly. Even the best of us have some controversial opinions. Let people know what a monster you are.

top level

with your characters’ unpopular and/or controversial opinion. Or share few of them at once. In person or via text. Prepare for disagreement.

to tell them why they're wrong, validate a kindred spirit, or just troll them for caring about such a silly-ass thing in the first place.

So then it's all about you. At least until someone with more knowledge than you comes along.

Then you'd have to listen to them.

[manipulatestime]

It's about coming together and stopping the apocalypse.

And yes, if that happened I would.

[whataterriblefate]

The apocalypse? So this is all because you want to stop something you don't like.

But unfortunately, it's not about you.

How will your world end? That sounds more fun than your trying to control the wretches beneath you.

[manipulatestime]

In dust and destruction. I'm stopping it because it's the end of a world.

[whataterriblefate]

And in the process, becoming its tyrant for the "good" of everyone.

[manipulatestime]

Uh, no?

[whataterriblefate]

Telling everyone what to do, demanding they obey you and change their viewpoints to fit yours, to value what you do.

All of these are actions and qualities of a ruler, a tyrant who commands those he views as less than himself.

You merely couch your tyranny in a moral light to make yourself feel superior.

[manipulatestime]

I'm sorry, I didn't realize caring about the masses made me a tyrant.

[whataterriblefate]

You'd be surprised what you mortals will overlook in the name of selfish desires.

If you truly cared about the masses, why strip away their freedom? Isn't that counterpoint to your goal of protecting them?

Or are you the kind of creature let the ends justify your means...

[manipulatestime]

I'm not stripping their freedom. I'm asking my family to help me.

[whataterriblefate]

Asking? There was no query in your ultimatum, fool.

You commanded.

Or will you accept if someone refuses to help?

[manipulatestime]

No, I won't. This is about survival of the planet and possibly the species.

[whataterriblefate]

Then you willingly remove their freedom to choose.

As do all tyrants playing the role of savior.

[manipulatestime]

I'm not trying to rule the world. I'm trying to save it.

[whataterriblefate]

Make all the excuses you want. In the end, to ensure its survival, you deem it fitting to command it to your whim.

[manipulatestime]

Right now, yes. But when it's saved, I won't be ruling anything.

[whataterriblefate]

And when another "apocalypse" comes along, there you'll be, Lord and Master of All, to save your playthings once again.

Do you not suppose this coming destruction is instead the will of the world to escape your iron fist?

[manipulatestime]

I'm not in fucking charge of anything! I'm not making anyone do anything they don't want to.

[whataterriblefate]

Then up there, what you said, about not letting people say "no". Wast that a lie?

Are you even listening to yourself go back and forth?

[manipulatestime]

If they say no at first then I'm going to keep trying until I convince them it's the right thing to do. Yes, I might be controlling my family, but they fucking need a leader.

[whataterriblefate]

Hahaha! What a funny guy! What other excuses will you use to cover your self-righteous power lust? You are amusing. Enough that I'm tempted to help you.

It'll be a fun game, don't you think?

[manipulatestime]

My self-righteous power lust. Gotcha.

[whataterriblefate]

You deny it? Then tell me. What drives you to want to protect these people?

A sense of pride? Some idea they'll revere you? A misplaced notion of morals? Boredom?

[manipulatestime]

Mostly, it's that they're my family and I don't want them dead again.

[whataterriblefate]

Are you one of those fools who thinks "everyone" is your family?
