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/
I’m not sure that this is an unpopular opinion either. Not in the states at least.
All my homies hate pay to win - it’s antithetical to what gaming was about. Just the same as paid kits and scripts for hackers used to be called skids. It was about classless community on the internet period.
Fuck greed.
Like I said to someone else, this wouldn't have been an unpopular opinion, just a couple of years ago.
But look at the front page of Reddit, without being logged in. It's just POST AFTER POST AFTER POST AFTER POST about "Honky Stair Rail" and "Genshit Implants."
Those two "games" are singlehandedly (double handedly? double-D anime-tittedly?) rehabilitating and normalizing the image of the free-to-pay genre.
Well, there is your first mistake, thinking Reddit is organic.
Hmm. I guess that's a really fair point. I hope it's a LOT of corporate tail-wagging-the-dog shit, then.
