Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Yeah, all comedy is bad because I heard some bad jokes lately. Better trash the whole idea of jokes. Same energy.
I disagree.
If a prank goes out of its way to humiliate a person it’s not a joke. If that same person gets pranked every year in a way that is not fun for them they have a right to say I’m not a fan of this shit. They have a right to dislike it without a person responding “wow you’re no fun.”
This is unpopular opinions, and y’all getting on OP about how they are no fun because they don’t like “pranks” being pulled on them.
Read what I said again and try harder.
Those are bad pranks. Nobody is defending bad pranks.
Read the original post again and try harder. YOU are defending bad pranks by making your comparison.
What the post is describing ARE bad pranks. If everyone is irritated and no one is laughing other than the person doing the prank, IS a bad prank. Reading the post about bad pranks and jumping all the way to "Better trash the while idea of jokes. Same energy" seems to show how much you are missing and your apathy.
Nope. Your reading comprehension skills really suck. I'm not having this fight with you. You're reading comprehension skills are so bad you're not even arguing with me. I didn't say ANY of those things. That's all you.
👍
Bro, there are good pranks, and there are bad pranks. You sound as if all pranks nowadays are bad. They aren't. Start visiting different content feeds.
I completely agree there are good pranks. I am just disagreeing with people getting on OP for saying they don’t like it when they are pranked because their experience has been essentially humiliation.
Even though your humiliated someone tried to have fun with you, so you should smile anyway is how it comes off.
