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/

upvoted for having such a stone cold unpopular opinion haha
Do people like seeing those posts?? I'm not so rude to tell people to keep their grieving to themselves, but I'm 100% with OP that they bring down the whole mood when you just wanna look at some cute dogs
Yup. I thought OP was spot on and have always felt the same. I view those subs to see animals being cute and be happy about it. I'm sorry for their loss, but that is not cute or happy.
it feels like there's just peer pressure to act like you're fine with it, if you say you don't like it you're a horrible selfish person
but like bro if you come to someone's birthday party and start talking about how your grandpa carked it last week you're going to be asked to leave
This reminds me of the most unpleasant Thanksgiving I personally experienced. There were several factors that ruined the day but, I completely checked out mentally during dinner as one of the guests was talking about inheriting a cat from someone who died and how the cat was now dying. The thing I was most thankful for that year was going home.
