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/

This entire thread is giving me deja vu from a thread I thought I read on Reddit years ago.
Not saying this one was, but I wonder how many posts are copy pasted from old reddit posts and placed her now. The comments all seem familiar as well. Maybe I'm just tired.
I don't copypaste, but I have argued the same thing on Reddit before, so you may have seen me arguing the exact same thing.
Or someone else, because it's pretty common sense.
If you're having an honest conversation here, the appeal to common sense is a fallacy.
You're coming off pretty self-righteous and judgmental. If you're wanting to change minds I doubt a accusatory stance is helpful.
It's not an appeal to common sense to make arguments and then comment on those, clear arguments as common sense.
Maybe you need to spend a bit more time studying your fallacy charts.

Address the actual arguments, instead of trying to "win" an argument by trying to point out a fallacy (which wasn't even there.)
