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.

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

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

Absolutely it is, my dear. Never let them tell you otherwise.

Hey, I stopped listening to what men said a couple of decades ago. Don't they just hate that.

And how often have they tried to make you suffer for it, darling?

Pretty often. I like to make them suffer in return.

Only fair. Regret makes for incredibly teachable moments.

What sort of suffering do you specialize in?

The sort that makes people end up dead. [ Said in the flattest voice ever. ] Sorry, I know you're supposed to deliver a line like that with some kind of feeling, but honestly.

[ A small whistle along with a toss of her head that all boils down to: what goes around comes around, yeah. ]

Don't apologize to me, dear. You won't catch me clutching my pearls.

Some people only live as long as they do thanks to the mercy of others. I'm not known for being a terribly merciful woman either.

Maybe you've just got an alternative perception of mercy. It all counts towards something.

What do you mean by that? What do you think it all counts towards exactly?

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

[ Amusement is palpable in her voice, her French accent purposefully thick. ]

That depends. By it do you mean one's sense of self preservation? Or men.

[A wry smile.]

Social conditioning and the men teaching it to us will have me say our self preservation.

Well, I certainly hope they haven't worn you down yet.

They try. And they fail. It does seem my selfishness beats theirs.

That's understandable. One must play the game in order win.

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.

Naturally. Unfortunately I'm surrounded by human men more often than I'd care to be.

At least, from time to time, all the rules they devise in an effort to hold onto control can be turned about on them.

Well, I am actually married to two human men, but they like living in my culture, so it's not a problem.

I could absolutely not live on Earth. I would kill someone I'm sure.

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.

Well said. I'm inclined to agree. Then again, I might be predisposition to the believe that a lot of my opinions are also facts. But I've yet to be proven wrong. [ Her wry smile makes it clear she might might actually believe that as much as she likes to make other people prickle. ]

And men really hate being proven wrong, don't they? Especially by a woman.

[ Nine is inclined to believe it, too, given how she considers herself to be right all the time as well. ]

I've known some who will literally change reality before changing their mind.

[ Her expression becomes somewhat sour at that, as it hits way too close to home. ]

Ah yes, I'm familiar with that type of person myself. Though in that case, she's a girl... or a doll, rather. Not that it makes her messing with everyone's lives any better.
