My Unpopular Opinions
Pro-AI. 70% chance I forgot to reply to you. 20% chance Tumblr won't show me your reply. 10% chance I just don't care anymore. Also gonna be real and say there's like a 85% chance I won't reply if your comment is a reply instead of a reblog because replies are limiting and awful. If I wanted to argue on Twitter, I would.

I just want to cleanly describe to you that you consistently engage in behavior that shows you are more interested in having an unpopular opinion then attempting to mentally wrap yourself around a topic and understand it. After scrolling back for two weeks I've repeatedly seen you engaging in absorbing the narrative of others without bothering to check to see if they were right, claiming others are "making up people to be angry about" while they very clearly are showing you the person they are angry at and another half dozen signs that you are more interested in arguing then understanding.
You are very dispassionate towards any problems with your own stances and don't seem particularly intent on acknowledging or addressing them as much as trying to dress down the one you are speaking to, dismissing those problems as if they aren't fundamentally destructive to your supposed belief of being right. More aptly, you just want to be a contrarian.
As a short example, J.K Rowling clearly engaged in Holocaust denial and it's very strange you think "that's out of left field for her" considering she has been making friends with those types for years now. See:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ou_xvXJJk7k
Your response to her statement that trans people being targeted by Nazis is a "fever dream" is to try and argue semantics while she very clearly was just doing what she always does, constantly screeching about how trans people are babies and have never ever been harmed. It's her entire schtick, she deleted the tweet because it was going to get her in actual trouble because it was ACTUAL HOLOCAUST DENIAL.
In short, rethink most of your stances and recognize that you've created this stupid label for yourself that you need to be constantly engaging in unpopular opinions.
You don't need to reply to this because I'm not going to see it or care, but I highly doubt you'll resist the urge as you clearly are taking these unpopular opinions on for a reason, and I think that reason is as transparent as J.K Rowling's holocaust denial.
Man, if you're gonna chastise me for my crimes, at least make sure your example of me committing those crimes actually has me committing those crimes. This entire ask falls apart because the example you chose to hinge it on doesn't even exhibit the issues with me that you brought up.
It's very obvious from the get go that despite trying to make this sound like a generalization of my blog as a whole, it was actually entirely predicated on one single post of mine that ticked you off, clearly well enough that you weren't even capable of coming up with a good excuse as to why it ticked you off.
Like I'm not joking when I say that this reads like you wrote this as you read the thread and then you got to the end of it where your entire argument falls apart because I do the exact opposite of the things you claim I do, but you'd already written all of this out so you just decided to hit send anyways.
Next time, leave it in the drafts, buddy. But anyways, to break this down in earnest:
The reason my URL is what it is is for two reasons:
Back when I originally created this blog in, oh probably 2013-14 I'd say, I used to be way more into fandom spaces than I am now, and when I was coming up with what to call this blog, I recalled how I often tend to have the opposite, less popular opinion on things people enjoy. Not to be ironic, of course, these opinions are completely genuine. The description of my blog actually used to read something like: "The Star Wars Prequel Trilogy is better than the Original Trilogy" to give an example of the kind of unpopular opinions I tend to have.
The reason my URL has stayed as it is for so long now is because of people like you. I cannot express enough how funny it is to me when people dismiss whatever it is I have to say because of my URL. They usually try and attach some hurtful line like "maybe you wouldn't be so unpopular if you blah blah blah". It's endlessly humorous to me because it just goes to show that they don't have an actual leg to stand on in an argument.
As I said though, my opinions are my own first, and unpopular second. Meaning I'm not out here needlessly contradicting people for fun. I do find writing out needlessly long responses to people to be somewhat enjoyable, case in point, but I'd never stoop so low as to be a baseless contrarian.
You are very dispassionate towards any problems with your own stances and don't seem particularly intent on acknowledging or addressing them as much as trying to dress down the one you are speaking to, dismissing those problems as if they aren't fundamentally destructive to your supposed belief of being right. More aptly, you just want to be a contrarian.
I actually find this line curious because, if anything, I focus far far too often on the problems in my own stances. Most of the time when I'm staking my claim, it winds up full of numerous caveats where I acknowledge either the failings in my argument, or my own lack of knowledge on a subject. Sure, I don't do it on every single thing I post but I also have a life and don't wish to subject myself or others to me needlessly caveating every single time I make a point. No one sensible does that.
What's funny though is that in the exact post you referenced, I acknowledged and addressed the problem with my argument, that being that we were arguing two completely different points.
Now, of course, to the actual reason you sent me this:
As a short example, J.K Rowling clearly engaged in Holocaust denial and it's very strange you think "that's out of left field for her" considering she has been making friends with those types for years now.
Your response to her statement that trans people being targeted by Nazis is a "fever dream" is to try and argue semantics while she very clearly was just doing what she always does, constantly screeching about how trans people are babies and have never ever been harmed. It's her entire schtick, she deleted the tweet because it was going to get her in actual trouble because it was ACTUAL HOLOCAUST DENIAL.
This is why I said it's funny that you chose this post out of everything to use as your example of me supposedly trying to be a needless contrarian, or always be right, while ignoring any problems with my own arguments when I quite literally did none of those things in this one post.
My interaction with that post quite literally ends with me pointing out the fact that I was arguing from a completely different perspective than the person I was arguing with was, and that it was "on me" for not realizing that sooner. When the post called JK Rowling a "Holocaust denier", I was purely arguing from a semantics perspective.
Semantically-speaking, she's not a Holocaust denier. Up until that post however, I wasn't aware there was a legal definition of what it means to be a Holocaust Denier, and that that was the perspective the other person was arguing from. Legally-speaking, I gather that she is in fact a Holocaust Denier, granted I'm not a huge fan of that label being applied since, again semantically-speaking, it doesn't fit. She's more of a Holocaust Revisionist, rather than an outright Denier, but legally-speaking these mean the same thing, so whatever.
In short, rethink most of your stances and recognize that you've created this stupid label for yourself that you need to be constantly engaging in unpopular opinions.
I rethink most of my stances every minute lol. I've stated on numerous occasions that my political opinions have a way of changing with the wind purely because I have a shite memory and quite often just forget what my stance the previous day was.
I also run into this issue of differentiating my pessimistic, optimistic, and realistic opinions from one another. I have completely different opinions based on whether we're talking about the way I want the world to work, the way it does work, or the way it probably will wind up working.
I also don't "engage in unpopular opinions", I engage in my opinions which might not always be the popular one. Very important distinction.
You don't need to reply to this because I'm not going to see it or care, but I highly doubt you'll resist the urge as you clearly are taking these unpopular opinions on for a reason, and I think that reason is as transparent as J.K Rowling's holocaust denial.
Contrary to your belief about me, I don't actually write this blog solely for yours or others benefit. I don't care if you see this response or not, though given that I know what you're like, I highly doubt you won't troll my blog for this response later.
I also don't care about your weird little goading tactic meant to make this a "win-win" for you, since apparently a win is what you're looking for here. Again, I don't write this blog for you or anyone else. I'm responding to you because I can, and because I want to, nothing else.
Anyways, hope I cleared things up for you, anon. Take care.

Feel free to break it to any length you want (don't let the Italians know I said this)

Every time I hear people talk about satanic imagery or satanic propaganda I think about that tweet that was like, some people view Satan as a video game villain where he gets stronger the more people worship him

Good think you won’t see this so I can speak my mind
You are
* queerphobic
* racist
* antisemitic
* islamophobic
Hope you find it in yourself to improve as a person
I don’t know why you’d think I wouldn’t see this, but alright.
I kinda find the accusation of being “queerphobic” kinda funny because it’s the one thing you could quite literally never accuse me of. Unless of course you mean it SUPER literally, as in I hate the term “queer”, which is true. It’s an insult to many LGBT people, you can’t just erroneously label people it if they don’t want to be labeled with it. But otherwise, I’ve never actually posted, or even implied anything negative about LGBT people. Nothing even some brain dead loser could misinterpret as “queerphobic”. So this alone tells me that you’re probably just throwing labels around willy-nilly and hoping something sticks.
Which, to your credit, one of these is actually true. I am “Islamophobic”. There isn’t a religion I despise more than Islam. However I don’t hate Muslims, you can’t accuse me of that. I know some people like to go around and pretend that to be “Islamophobic” means that you’re also racist, but that just isn’t true. Islam is a religion, not a people. The same way Judaism is a religion, not a people. Jews and Muslims are the people, not the religion. I’ve never been a fan of pretty much all organized religion, but Islam is by far the worst of them as far as I’m concerned, and I say that as someone who grew up Jehovah’s Witness, a literal cult.
Anyways, anon. 3/4 of your labels didn’t stick, and the fourth one I don’t even consider to be a bad thing so as far as this ask is concerned, there’s nothing I need to do to “improve as a person”. Thanks for playing, though.
#random#asks#anon#anonymous#what did make me laugh was thinking that all of these labels came from one single post#I was trying to think of what post I’ve made that somehow covered ALL of these topics all at once#but I don’t actually think this person has read my blog#they’re just slapping labels around#likely after reading someone else’s interpretation of me

If you were honestly more concerned with advocating for Palestinians than you are hating a specific group of people, you would be disavowing these actions the loudest.
But instead all we hear is a deafening silence, and worse…
When a minority group tells you there’s a problem with your movement, listen to us, don’t “but” and “if” our concerns. Don’t bring up one Jewish person or 12 who agree with you or are too afraid to tell you what they really feel. Because tokenism is racism.

Just one more election everyone I know we've been saying that for the last 50+ years but this time we really mean it, we just need you to set aside your integrity just one more time and then we won't try and guilt you into violating your conscience.
This is just the most important election ever so you gotta trust me on this, we can start making it better after this.

Almost exactly how I'd have put it, I'd have dialed up the sarcasm more I think.
Threat to democracy is people using scare tactics to get you to vote for their guy instead of letting you be free to make your own choices and believing in the system of checks and balances that is in place.
Also if 85% or your reasons for voting for one person is that they're not the other person I'm not going to vote for you because I don't know what your position is and I'm not going to be bothered to find out.

It's wild to me how low people will stoop sometimes as to try and prevent some completely innocent party, who're only tangentially-related to possible drama, from participating in an event that is likely very big and meaningful to them, all because of completely unrelated petty drama.
Like even if we pretend that Israel is actually committing a genocide (they aren't, but we're pretending here), it's insane to prevent random Israeli civilians from participating when they have nothing to do with the war at all. Dare I say it, but it reeks of blatant antisemitism since there's quite literally no other explanation for why you'd ban civilians from participating with as flimsy of an excuse as "their country is doing bad things". The fact that you'd lump them all together like that is quite frankly gross.
And yes, I am well aware that Eurovision banned Russia from participating for similar reasons, and I find that to be equally as stupid and pedantic. Unless Putin himself was planning on performing, I see absolutely no reason why you should punish completely unrelated civilians for the crimes of their governments, real or fictionalized.
just a reminder to COMPLETELY boycott Eurovision this year; Azerbaijan and Israel, despite committing genocide, are STILL allowed to compete & have NOT been banned. by refusing to ban both countries, Eurovision is profiting off of the genocide of Palestinians and Armenians.
do not listen to the artists. do not pirate or stream the artists' music, and this applies to ALL the artists who are competing and performing this year. do not listen to the songs on ANY platform, do not give them ANY attention.
write to your broadcasters and tell them you REFUSE to watch the channels until they recognise the Armenian and Palestinian genocides & that you find it disgusting how they are allowing Eurovision despite Azerbaijan and Israel's entries.
do NOT give eurovision OR the competing artists ANYTHING but silence.
boycott ALL of eurovision.
#random rant#Eurovision#it's the fact that you want to punish the people of Israel and not just the government or IDF that's the problem here#if y'all have beef with the government or IDF then that's fine no one cares#but this post is explicitly calling for the punishment of all Israelis#I see no other explanation for that other than blatant antisemitism

I don’t care what anyone else says, the whole human blockade tactic like this will always be considered “violence” to me because we all know what’ll happen the moment someone tries to force their way through these clowns. They’ll consider it assault even though it’s clearly not, and they’ll start swinging. If the only response to your actions is violence, then evidently you’re being violent as well.
looks familiar huh?

Liberalsarecool posts something dumb, take a shot.
Netanyahu preaching cancel culture.
Right wing loves it. The fealty to crooked Netanyahu mimics the fealty to crooked Trump.
#I'd be dead by now#this blog is complete trash#and only caters to the absolute fringe of liberals#most liberals aren't like this#just the loud and obnoxious ones
