Your last submission was a ~~little~~ lot too "Thanos was right, and we should do that" but without a fictional framing device. If you can re-work it to be a ~~little~~ lot less dehumanizing to 50% of the world's population, please feel free to resubmit.

But I will say that those people you're calling parasites would probably be more "useful" to society if society wasn't largely an orphan crushing machine and they had a chance to utilize their potential.

Again, if you can rework it so it's not "Thanos was right", feel free to resubmit. This post, however, is not an unpopular opinion and I'm going to have to remove it.

Fantastic use of X's ๐Ÿ˜† Well done.

(Not directing this at you, OP, just setting the tone for any replies)

Remember Rule 1: No politics. The post itself is fine since it's about the meme. Please don't turn the comments into political shouting, but otherwise carry on.

If that were to happen, it'd only be for tech companies, not people. lol.

It seems like the productive discussion has run its course, and OP seems to be finished with it. Locking post.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

To be fair to OP, I didn't even think of phrasing it that way when I was trying to parse it.

That's a lot better put.

I'm pretty sure your heart is in the right place, but your argument is more than a little confusing.

The first paragraph clearly states that you believe sexual attraction is not a choice, and yet your argument is that "it's not a choice" is counter-productive.

If I understand it correctly, you're basically saying to re-frame the "it's a choice" narrative into something that affects straight people who oppose LGBT+ rights because they believe it is a choice that can be made?

e.g. If you're straight and then one day "choose" to be gay, but LGBT+ rights have been abolished, then the government has taken away your right to choose?

If I'm understanding correctly, all other points aside, it may be too confusing to have any good/meaningful impact.

At least you have them. We don't :'(

I would highly encourage anyone who feels sympathetic to this comment to read through the comment history and modlog of the person who made it before voting.

Combative, promoting violence, and generally using the Palestinian crisis to universally bash anyone they disagree with about anything while also derailing unrelated conversations. But yeah, it's the mods who are the problem. ๐Ÿ™„

It would make a difference is all I'm saying.

Perfect and better are not mutually exclusive concepts.

If people would at least just check the community they're posting to, it would help immensely.

Added emphasis to previous statement.

It's a conspiracy, bud. Trying to keep the truth down!

OR....there's like 300 duplicates of the exact same thing because everyone thinks they're CNN and the first to break the story and the mods are cleaning up.

Take your pick.

 
 

Since the world is so depressing right now, the mod team has agreed to rebrand this community as "Popular Opinions" to try to lighten the mood.

Instead of than sharing opinions that highlight our differences, share the ones that everyone can agree on.

The voting guidelines remain the same: Upvote if you agree it's a popular opinion, downvote if you think it's an unpopular opinion.

So, let's hear some things we can all get on board with!

In conclusion, happy April Fool's Day!

Note: This is a real rule change and will be enforced, but only for today as a fun change of pace. Normal rules return tomorrow.

Since we're all on differen timezones, we'll be running these rules midnight to 23:59 UTC.
