Yes, this had to be made because already I am a little disgruntled about how the main unpopularopinion community is ran and what content I’ve found on there. So I wanted to make a true version, the ‘true’ part being, that it’s sought for more thoughtful opinions that are beyond 2 lines and actually are more fleshed out we’ll say.
It is not meant to be a platform where bigots, racists, sexists can finally get their rocks off by being who they are. That’s what plagued the TrueUnpopularOpinion over in Reddit, it is infested with alt-right people pretending to be sophisticated and their mods are pushovers. I’m not aiming for this community to be that.
well you can hold an unpopular belief at any intensity. they are independent variables.
For example, I think store-brand (any store brand) potato chips are better than the same flavor/style of the national brand 100% of the time. I infer this is unpopular because the national brand costs $2-3x as much so there is no reason to ever buy them, yet they stay in business and I see people eating them.
But I by no means feel strongly about this. It has been probably 10 years since I mentioned it to anyone. I wouldn’t turn down any potato chip no mater how expensive it is. They are all pretty good tbh.
Maybe what you are actually trying to capture is along the lines of:
