Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

It's been my experience that LOTR is something you either like or dislike.
I only heard praise for it
I think that among film buffs that is true. Normies though don’t all like it. My brother hates it just because it’s fantasy. I know others who don’t like it because it’s long.
Are we back to 'only nerds like fantasy' again? Lord of the Rings was popular with just about everyone when it came out in theaters - shows were packed.
Then there's Game of Thrones...
Yeah, that's where I am at. Between LOTR, Harry Potter and Game of Thrones, fantasy is incredibly mainstream now.
Nothing screams middle-upper class, mid-30s suburban housewife more than fantasy-romance novels.
I like fantasie
It's been my experience this is true of literally everything.
Most things actually have some grey areas. It may be just kind of meh and not necessarily a dislike.
