The Unpopular Opinions thread

Pregnancy announcements. I've never understood the excitement around them or the prospect of having kids in general.

I agree. I also think gender reveal parties are stupid. Like... who cares?

Liking pineapple on pizza isn’t a personality trait. It’s such a typical topping now there’s no need to feel special about liking it. Also, it tastes awful.

Summer is the worst season.

Frozen is not that good

Red velvet cake is garbage.

And I agree with the two posts above mine. Gender reveals and baby announcements are so overrated. Like cool you did a natural thing no need for cake and gifts.

As much as I love FE3H, I think some if the animation for the mages (any spell casters) look silly. Might not be an unpopular opinion (wouldn’t know).

My previous post here was about shipping but I just remembered: I also don't see the appeal of fan fiction in general. IDK why. It's canon or nothing for me! Then again, I like fan art ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Dunquixote]

I think memes are stupid and I don’t like; I love Mistreil’s memes but aside from her memes and some from a gacha game I play, I don’t get most memes and get tired of seeing the same graphic or image being used for different memes. I do wish I at least understood the humor, but I don’t understand a lot of humor tbh.

I had another one but I forgot what it was.

Agree. Also the fact you have to play happy whenever someone does one, I mean nice for you if you want it but don't expect 100% of the population to agree it's a fun thing.

Also the fact society is all about interviewing people who have a hard time getting kids, sure, but how about those who choose not to? It might be as hard.

100% this.

I got told off for not being more excited when my reaction to a recent pregnancy announcement (not to their expectant mum's face might I add) was nothing more than "Great, good for her." Like what more did they expect? That I suddenly get out a load of balloons, a banner and start a parade down the street to let the world know that another baby was coming into this world in nine month's time.

It's not exactly a groundbreaking revelation for humanity in my opinion.

same, having kids sounds so painful from what I've heard abt it and it can be risky and kids can be really really annoying and I just don't understand the excitement of it, I'm never having kids

Right?? Like why the big celebration?
My cousin is having a baby and it's a cousin we rarely see. Like no offense but why are we going again? Lol. There at least will be food so I guess there's that?

Yeah, exactly. Sure some might have trouble getting them for various reasons and some adoption laws are definitely discriminating but yeah I have a hard time seeing the happiness of getting a kid no matter how one does it.

This too, paternal gran told me one of my cousins are expecting later this year and I'm like.. "yeah". Luckily my gran is rather old and doesn't really care to notice my voice or anything and it's like, does that family compete in kids or? LOl.

I've been vocal my whole life about not wanting kids and if i did want kids i would adopt. I was working with a new co-worker from a different location and she had been trying to get pregnant for years. She asked me my opinions on kids and asked if I had any and I openly said "no i don't want any, i help raise my nephew and that fulfills me and makes me more than happy." and when I tell you she flipped out on me... oh my goodness. She got so mad at me for not wanting kids saying it was unfair to her because she had such horrible fertility issues and for me to say I didn't want any is like a slap in the face.

Like whhhaaatttt? Why does my body have to be used to put another kid in the world? no thanks. Every time I'm with family "when are you having kids?" "you need to start thinking about settling down and starting a family." it's beyond frustrating.

 

[Millysaurusrexjr]

The most frustrating thing is being told "you'll change your mind one day". I'm almost 28, I still don't want kids. Don't even wanna adopt at this point. There's thrice as many cons as there are pros.

Wow, that's so rude. How is your choice to not have kids have anything to do with her inability to have them herself?

I think pop in the US is dead. Pop was really good and there were a lot of differences between each artists. Last twenty years or a bit less, whenever I hear pop on the radio, I find it all to sound “the same.”

Holy crap that's awful. I understand your co-worker desperately wanting a child as a friend of mine has had multiple rounds of IVF and has now miraculously fallen pregnant naturally but to go off on someone who doesn't want children is appalling behaviour in my opinion. I'm actually like you, as much as I don't want children myself I've always been open to adoption because I know how many children out there need a loving home and that's more appealing to me than getting pregnant and going through the early years of raising a child.

I get the same comments as you about marriage as well, I just nip that issue in the bud and tell them that marriage and kids shouldn't be the end goals of a woman's or in fact anyone's life. Let us lead our lives which ever way we desire to and not because society dictates to us to fall in line with a way of life that has been outdated for years.

Oh my god, your co-worker sounds overreacting I'm sorry And yeah it's definitely not your fault, it's not like you caused her issues or anything And your family, sheesh, they need to shut up too...Also yeah family doesn't necessarily need to include kids and having grandkids is not a human right or anything.

Agree, also the fact it's been "messed" or mixed up with rap/rnb beats and some with dance/club music made it even more dead. I think that goes for a lot of European pop as well.

that is exactly it and how I lost my taste for it. I loved Jennifer Lopez’s latino themed music (funny enough I started liking it way after it was released), but omg, why did she have to turn to rap duets . Same with Mariah Carey who I also used to love (though kinda glad I stopped listening to her).

Yeah I can definitely enjoy some older latino/tejana stuff but yeah wailing rap frap is definitely not my thing. And yeah I liked Mariah's more gospel-esque pop but when she started wailing into that one christmas song and beyond nope.
