What's some really unpopular opinion you have? (lemmings.world)

Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

It's like that for many vices such as alcohol- it's harmful but banning it is much worse than regulating it (see the history of 1920s America). I'm not convinced porn consumption is harmful but even if it was, it shouldn't be banned.

My siblings in Christ just because you have an unhealthy relationship with porn doesn't mean that everyone else does too. Stop projecting your problems into pathologizing everyone else.
