favoritism at a workplace is good. it encourages competition and makes people better workers. the ones who blurt out this word are usually below average workers who aren't mature enough for a job just because they can't get what they want.
It's only bad if it's about race, sex, gender, etc.

My most controversial opinion (not wanting children) should not be controversial. Yet for some reason, even my most radical political views don't get the same reaction as that.

I agree with this if it's merit-based favoritism. As in, "the boss likes me because I work hard and kick ass at the job."

If it's "the boss likes me because we both listen to Sabaton," then it's a no from me dawg.

Hot take since it's the movie's anniversary and it's all over twitter:

I STILL don't like the Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs' animation style. It works perfectly for 2D, but that direct translation drove it right off the uncanny valley for me. Everyone feels like an animatronic or like I'm watching it at 2x speed at all times. There's snappy and there's too snappy.

Every video sharing/streaming platform is awful and the only reason we use them is because there aren't any good alternatives.

**** Twitch and YouTube in particular, if there were better alternatives we wouldn't be using them.

Believe me when I say this is not unpopular in the slightest. Everyone, be it users, content creators and even advertisers would rather be somewhere else if they could. They just can't because only a corporate giant like Google can sustain a business that is designed to not be lucrative like YouTube. They lose money with YouTube every year, but they do it because it's a very important piece in Google's big "domination" of the internet, which allows them to get more money by the end of the day.

One that doesn't ban users for stupid reasons.

Those "real time fan dub" videos aren't funny at all, with the sole exception of the Eggman destroying the mood bit.

Abs are overrated. They take too much work to maintain and they're purely aesthetic - you can have just as much core strength with little to no visible definition.

I'd rather just have a flattish stomach and the rest of my body look decent.

theres nothing wrong with anger if it isn’t harming anyone

I dislike Royal Famliy, Harry Potter, One Dirction, Sunday Roast Dinner/Lamb meats & queuing. Me being British but dislike these things.

I like Trump

Not fond of Skylanders

I dislike Royal Famliy

Is that like Modern Family?

Quote: ShylaShadow

I love Skylanders. Characters are creative and diverse, levels are fun and interesting and the music is amazing.

I hate TLoS. Story is bad and unoriginal, just a bunch of stolen plot points from various ideas and it doesn't work. Gameplay is so repetitive and boring why bother playing it. The only thing it has going for it is the music and that's not enough to save a game. It's basically the Sonic 06 of "Spyro" games (I don't consider it to be a Spyro game because it isn't) it's a bad reboot and it failed as a series.

I liked the combat in the first 2 but that's pretty much the only noteworthy thing I can remember about it in hindsight

Having a catchy, inspiring and creative melody and/or rhythm is far more important in art of music than the stories, messages or lessons the piece of music is about. This is a concept that has been lost in mainstream music for over a few decades.

No, it's Queen of England's famliy. Do you know The Queen from England and her Royal Famliy, they called Royal Famliy.

Deleted my previous post because it was a little vague.

The body positivity movement should be for people with physical deformities, amputees, and the like. It should not be for obese people.

Obesity is a physical, and often also mental, health problem. It needs to be treated as such. Period.

i cannot function if i do not go to sleep around 9pm

i respect those who can but i cannot and i do not understand how it is physically possible

I'm really sick of dark cinematography in film and television.
I'm paying to WATCH something, I'd like to be able to WATCH it. Lots of HBO shows are guilty of this, specifically Game of Thrones and Watchmen.

Totally agreed

i like seagulls because they remind me of haku

i hope this is acceptable

We need to either abolish Thanksgiving or combine it with Christmas.

There's absolutely no point in shutting the whole ****ing country down for no reason other than to eat a big ass meal, when you know you're going to be doing the same damn thing a month later when the family gets together again for Christmas.

Another unpopular opinion:

He's kinda right.

Obviously I disagree with some of these statements, but he hit the nail on the head about independent cinema.

White privilege should not be a controversial term, and it only is because of misconceptions.

It doesn't mean you're racist, it doesn't mean it's wrong to be white, it doesn't mean that white people have easy lives. It just means that there are certain problems POC have to deal with that white people don't. I think most logical people would agree with that - it's reality.

I'm not sure if this is an unpopular opinion, but we need to cut down on funding the military (And perhaps other areas) and put it towards helping minorities (If not everyone in the lower class, tbh.) when it comes to life conditions, education, and oppritunities. The gap between upper class and lower class is only getting bigger and that's not good.

eh i aggree with what youre saying hihd

The ideal relationship is DINK - Dual Income, No Kids.

Half of your time and energy goes to your careers, and the other half goes to each other. Financial security is about the best it can possibly be in these days because you're both working and you only have to look out for yourselves. You have a large sphere outside of each other as well, which is necessary for any healthy relationship.

If one partner isn't working and depends on the other for financial support, then their life can be pretty solidly tied to the relationship, for obvious reasons. If kids are in the picture, you'll always be irrevocably tied to each other. A relationship that has no easy way out is not a relationship at all.

"Stay together for the kids" is overrated.

Marriage is overrated

Nowadays people think lies, slander and cruelty are valid ways to handle any and all conflicts. Society will crumble if this keeps up. Humans become more heartless every generation and we need to find a more efficient way of instilling morals into the future generations before it’s too late.

agh thats such a mood

i love the thread unpopular opinions

There are a number of cases in the entertainment media where people confuse cynical corporative actions with artistic incompetence. It's easy to say "EAT THE RICH" when you don't know the full story - which is, you know, the kind of moment you're not supposed to jump into conclusions.

People are at this point weaponizing the terrible working conditions of artists as a way to frame them as holy angels who are just trying to express themselves in this horrible capitalist world, and that no company ever listen to us (despite the fact this is an extremely out of touch statement if you actually follow any part of entertainment that isn't Disney). Sometimes the blame is on the artists, or both. Not always, but sometimes.

That's why cancel culture is so rampant now. When you treat the artists basically as Gods who can do no wrong, you're bound to be disappointed in them when they indeed do wrong, as a human should. Now I know there's a clear difference between making human mistakes and something really really terrible, but that's why you shouldn't be so emotionally invested in someone you ultimately don't know. You're gonna waste your time.

So yeah next time you think about how much you love X artist/game developer/movie writer/YouTuber, remember you love their work and a part of their personality, only the part they decided to make public. It's not fake or insincere. It's just how things should work. They need privacy.

No really, parasocial relationships suck. We must remain civil, not put someone in a cage and make them dance for our amusement.

Quote: Bolt

Soulmates don't exist in the way most people think of them! There is not one person meant for you in the 8 billion people on this planet. So many different people compliment your personality, there is not one singular person that is "perfect" for you, that is "made for you". There would be tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or perhaps even millions of people in this world that could be a soulmate, not just one person. Like, we don't have that red string connecting us to our soulmate. That's insane.

but, if you only date one person, is that your sole mate?
