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.

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.

Leeches are fantastic medical assistants!

[shapely]

I thought that fell out of favour...

[valiska]

Leeches are actually incredibly useful for preventing necrosis after delicate surgical procedures involving a lot of small blood vessels. They stimulate the circulatory system and relieve venous congestion.

They're frequently used after plastic surgery and reattachment of lost digits or limbs.

Also, acetylsalicylic acid is what makes willow bark useful for pain. I'd rather use cannabinoids on an injured patient, though, ASA can interfere with blood clotting.

I'm an alchemist; and one of my husbands is a trauma chirurgeon.

"Selfishness" in a woman is usually just a strong sense of self-preservation.

[artificialnocturne]

Could be wrong, but isn't that the same trait that makes men "great leaders"?

[demimondaines]

Oh, and how we have to beat it down, yes?

[valiska]

Are you from a patriarchal culture? (I'm inclined to agree with you. An awful lot of human men think all the women of my species are incredibly domineering and selfish.)

That shit makes no sense to me.

Nobody ever has to wonder who the mother of a litter of kits is, so why in the world would anyone ever use fatherhood as a basis for inheritance? And frankly a lot of males can't handle a woman in season all by themselves.

[walpurgismacht]

Unpopular or not, that's less of an opinion and more of a fact. Standing up for yourself means painting a target on your back.

Listen, ballet isn't "pretty" or "cute". I could literally kick your head off with my grand battement.

[cryptoherpetology]

You sound like my sister. I try not to get my head in the way of her feet if I can help it.

[alternaive]

According to my data, "ballet" is an artistic form of dance considered to be highly formalized and elegant. I didn't know it was also a form of combat. I will make sure to memorize that.

Good and bad — or so-called good and evil — are most often a matter of perspective.

People can't ever truly change who they are at heart. Show me a person who thinks they've changed, and I'll show you someone who changed their behavior because they couldn't handle the consequences for it.

[adpacempertyrannidem]

You're half right.

People remain who they are at heart.

But sometimes they come to the conclusion that the axioms on which they based their moral reasoning, or the facts on which they based their practical reasoning, are untrue, and they have to change their actions in order to continue being the people they are at heart. This often has nothing whatsoever to do with externally-imposed 'consequences'.

Also, both mechs and organic persons can be changed profoundly as a result of injury or toxicity to the processing unit. Sometimes these changes are desirable even to the person who suffers the insult, which is why we use 'surgery' and 'medication' to help people change their behaviour. (Unfortunately, at least in the society I come from, these tools are far more frequently used on people without their consent or understanding.)

Is that why you sought to destroy my father with your actions? That he stands proof against an opinion you hold so close you can't abide seeing it may not be true.

Some people are genuinely too stupid to live.

[metalmanipulator]

On that, we can entirely agree. One has to wonder how they survived infancy, let alone gotten to adulthood.

[iamjustvisiting]

It is a problem with humans.

[silverseamariner]

And contrary to general opinion, age does not necessarily make people any wiser.

[skekSa speaks from experience. Skeksis collectively are very old and not prone to good life choices.]

The Beatles are better than the Stones.

[stanford_pines]

I don't actually care about this argument; I just find it ridiculous, as someone who actually lived through the 1960s and 1970s, that anyone thinks either the Stones or the Beatles were the best bands of that era.

The Grateful Dead blew both of them away, although my favourite band at that time was actually Yes.

[mattersofscience]

Vampirism is a medical condition and ought to be regarded and treated as such.

[cultfollowing]

I guess that makes sense ... can it be cured?

Does it seriously matter if something's unpopular if it's true?




Fine, here's an unpopular opinion: Blow me.

[adpacempertyrannidem]

It matters if you're sitting in prison for saying it. Does that not happen where you come from, or do they just make up good enough excuses for it that nobody realises?

Though, actually, the things I said that got me put in prison in my youth turned out to be extremely popular. They just weren't popular with the people who were benefitting from the widespread injustice I called other people's attention to.

Capes are a perfectly sensible accessory to wear in everyday life.

[dancingknives]

If you’re talking about ‘everyday life’ in the sense of someone who isn’t going to end up in a fight at some point, sure. I’ll give you that.

Otherwise... if you’ve got a cape somewhere, I can make a solid case against this argument in about five seconds— ten at most.

Having special powers doesn’t make you better than people who don’t.

[snowbrawl]

Yeah! 'Specially if you ain't using those powers for good stuff!

[sovtreboot]

Let's just say that I find it disappointing that "you not liking the aliens doesn't change that they are still people" is as contentious an opinion as it is.

[iamthecrucible]

It's easy to judge what you haven't lived through.
