r/ControversialOpinions

Along with all the other sexualities other than gay, lesbian, or bisexual.

And do not go into your stupid, trained servant mode like that servant from Django Unchained.

This is why slavery was a bad idea to begin with, the rich figured that the techniques they used to morally destroy black people then would also work on anyone as long as they were in a position of disadvantage, such as being barely employed, half-broke or fully broke.

DEMAND YOUR REPRESENTATIVES THAT BILLIONAIRES AND THOSE WITH $100 million or more, have their own taxes increased significantly so that this debt is paid. That includes of course, corporations and individuals.

I've been in many online groups groups over the years, from all sides of the political range. On the left I consistently see people immediately kicked/banned from groups for as little as agreeing with a controversial right wing opinion. Meanwhile I can go in a right wing group and spout leftist ideas and only get kicked when I end up basically spamming like an being annoying about it, which is justified and I have learned from.

For example, I can speak in a right wing group about how I think we should [tax the fuck out of rich or some other such idea]. They will argue with me all day about how I am wrong, but won't remove me unless I end up being an annoying cunt about it.

If I go into a left wing group and so much as hint that I don't fully and unquestioningly support [insert popular left wing topic here] I would be IMMEDIATELY removed without farther discussion.

I have seen this countless times across all platforms on the internet.

You are a bad person. Bad things happen. That’s why we have laws and prisons and sometimes the death penalty

A common argument I hear about why abortion isn't murder is "Well it's just a clump of cells". And then there's the whole "Abortion is murder" thing.

So my compromise is that abortion should be illegal if the fetus already has likea heartbeat or something like that. Like in the 4th month and beyond?

The criminal commits a bad action, and remains unpunished by it, thus becoming a bad person and staining their soul. The victim has no choice in his suffering, but his soul remains free from the evil that plagues the criminal.

To go even further, that criminal, if given the choice to run away or turn himself in, should always choose to turn himself in for his own benefit, since punishment, being a good thing, makes him a better person.

For the record, I am neither, and I don't claim to be. I also empathize with people who have these disorders and in no way am I saying they aren't real. At the same time, I am a little tired of everyone saying things like "haha its because I'm autistic" or "cant study cause ADHD brain lol," and things to this effect.

If a friend tells me they have autism/ADHD, I don't assume that they are lying and I'm certainly not judging them. At the same time, I have some friends that have never mentioned having autism before until it started becoming "popular" (for lack of a better term) and who make jokes about it whenever there is an awkward social interaction or something. I am not going to tell them they are wrong, because its not my place, but I do think it is disrespectful to actual autistic people to claim you have their disorder for the sake of being funny and relatable.

Trying to better understand yourself is one thing, but latching onto a label and mindset is another. I have to wonder if growing up with ipads and phones ruined our attention spans, and now everything thinks they have ADHD. I've seen a lot of autism and adhd memes/content that I find relatable and funny despite not having either disorder. I feel like if we want to change - have better attention spans, be more confident, etc - then we have to do the work. Certainly a disorder will make this harder, but the general trend seems to be complaining and making jokes rather than actually trying.

Also, I don't love the word "neurotypical." I don't necessarily find it offensive, but I often hear phrases like "neurotypicals will never understand" or "neurotypicals versus autistic people." It really feels like a separation of "us" vs "them," which I feel like contributes to the amount of self diagnosed people who dont want to be part of the "nuerotypical" category. Its become a little hard for me to take the word seriously: Everybody has their own way of thinking and doing, it is not as if all "neurotypicals" think the same way. Much of this "neurodivergent" content is probably made by 'neurotypical' people (if taken to mean people who don't have autism or ADHD).

Not pointing fingers at anyone, and not shitting on people who are trying to better understand themselves. These are just my feelings about the topic in general. I was wondering what other people's thoughts might be

Now I'm not saying ice is good no their not doing great jobs but people crossing the border illegally has right to remove them it didn't matter if they have family they came illegally its illegal nothing excuses it

So transphobes shut the fuck up!

I'm tired of the hypocrisy that non-white men have to deal with. Non-white woman complain about not being picked, but the men have to suffer in silence, statistics say that white guys are the most pick race, but unfortunately for non-white men, they are picked last even though Hispanic and black men are on dating apps more than white men, statistically.

See, I'm not mad. I'm mad that it only became controversial when it was about women, so now it's a riot for fairness. Don't get me that reply that it isn't true. It's heavily implied that women rate white men on the top of the totem pole, but it becomes a problem when men do it. Also, there's tones of evidence that proves that I'm right.

So I just tried to post a question on r/dating

The post was removed in about half a second by the modbot

Why? Because despite being probably 200 words and using the word woman or women many many times I did apparently at some point use the word female.

So the mod team explains that the word female is now considered derogatory because of a red pill / black pill connotation?

What in the actual fuck?

So let me try to piece this together

You mods over at that group don't want nasty derogatory hurtful rhetoric from this red pill / black pill group of people to infect the comment or posting section.

Okay, I'm with you, that makes sense so far.

But your solution to this is to Outlaw the word female? That's not just stupid, that's insultingly stupid.

So it seems to me like you are essentially supporting this red pill black pill Community by admitting that they now "own" that word and they now have control over the way in which that word should be understood as a derogatory term towards women?

What the fuck?

You people are getting dumber and dumber and dumber.

My suggestion would be if you don't like some sort of hateful group then probably don't set up your own groups in ways that unintentionally support the hate groups that you claim not to like.

LOL. Yeah I hate those misogynistic incell Andrew Tate types who hate all women so to push back on that I'm going to lessen the amount of verbs or adjectives or nouns or well just really less of all words that refer to women. I think that's going to be helpful in the long run. You know, for women. F****** idiots.

Disclaimer: I AM NOOOT CONSERVATIVE (lol) I’m very much a leftist and a MAGAs worst enemy (not literally..)

I see posts of people and they’re trying to make the next best take and sometimes it’s just stupid, but at first I wrote it off as clout chasing. Until I started to meet and talk with people who had similar views and takes.

An example: I am 100% pro choice but sometimes I see people who take it too far that they start hating on women who chose to have children. It kind of does the opposite - removing the whole “choice” factor of it all.
Another one I have encountered is this whole man hating wave and the hating on “male centred women” but making ur whole personality on hating men is also male centred no?

I also see people talking about how cheating should be Illegal. The comment without any deeper thought makes sense. An act that causes much emotional and potentially physical harm should be punished. But you have to look at it objectively. Making it illegal is also involving the government and court of law into your personal relationships. This would definitely get complicated and messy plus why would you want the government to be more involved into your life than what it already is. This is adding additional control and policing over people’s privacy life’s.

I also hate trying to talk to someone who doesn’t understand nuances to absolutely any situation as well as the people who argue against a generalised point with niche “what ifs”

That's a convenient label some people invented to turn perfectly ordinary masculine traits into a public health emergency.

Apparently, confidence is toxic, leadership is toxic, having standards is toxic, being protective is toxic, and heaven forbid a man believes in traditional gender roles. At this point, masculinity needs a warning label and a therapist.

Bad behavior is bad behavior. Call a man abusive, controlling, or violent when he is. But pretending masculinity itself is the disease is just an elaborate way of pathologizing men for being men.

For starters, these women are usually ugly AF and have a sense of entitlement that is delusional. Look at all the videos on youtube from passport sis complaining that men in (INSERT COUNTRY) don't desire them or expect them to pay for them and their lifestyle when they can't make US wages. It's nauseating at best and they get little sympathy from the general public.

That's it. Hitler is way too discussed. Yes, he was an evil, horrific perpetrator of genocide, but he wasn't as historically significant as people often make him out to be. He was, ultimately, another authoritarian politician who happened to gain enormous power and cause catastrophic destruction.

P.S.: Halfway through writing this, I realized this could sound insensitive to Holocaust survivors and victims, which is absolutely not my intention. The Holocaust and WWII must be studied and remembered so we never forget the horrors humans are capable of. My point is simply that Hitler himself is often given disproportionate attention. WWII affected people across the world, including millions of Indians and Japanese, and the Allied powers were hardly saints either, Britain, for instance, exploited India during the war. They created multiple man made famines in India. USA dropped second nuclear bomb for no reasons at all. and there are countless war crimes done during , before and after ww2.

Honestly these are some of the weirdest people. All that seems to run through their minds is
"gay sex hahah every character should be gay" and it is honestly insufferable.

Then if you disagree they immediately hit you with
"You're homophobic"
"We need representation"
"Their sexuality isn't confirmed"

These people don't NEED representation. They WANT representation.

There are already so many movies and shows centered around
LGBTQ characters that have been hugely successful, with actors from those projects even receiving major awards.

And the whole “their sexuality isn’t confirmed” argument may be technically true. But let’s use some context clues. If a character is dating or married to the opposite gender, has shown attraction to the opposite gender, and has never shown romantic interest in the same gender, what exactly are we supposed to assume?

And this goes both ways. If a character is never confirmed to be straight, that does not automatically mean they are secretly gay or lesbian either.

And apparently a woman being independent, strong, and capable of standing on her own means she must be a lesbian, while a man being soft, emotional, or empathetic means he must be gay. Since when are personality traits sexualities?

Not every friendship is romantic. Not every character needs to be gay or lesbian. Sometimes characters are just friends, sometimes they are straight, and sometimes their sexuality is genuinely unknown.

Liking LGBTQ representation is completely fine, but acting like every character needs to be gay or lesbian is where it becomes insufferable.

It is my opinion that real women that have a monthly cycle can control their emotions and not lash out at the people they "love" or work with.

I was raised around women, have worked with women, and have been married over 20 years.

It seems to be excepted that a woman can lash out emotionally because she's shedding her lining, something I'm grateful I don't have to experience.

I guess in my head, I believe women to be intelligent and in control.

From what I've experienced firsthand, and what other have shared with me secondhand, is a common denominator that some women believe it's okay to be a moody mean bitch for a few days a month and then hit the reset button.

I believe an adult can fully control their emotions under a variety of circumstances.

Enlighten me.
