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.

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.)
