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.
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/

Uniformity over individualism sounds so authoritarian and dystopian.
No one prevents you to buy the same 14 shirts and pants and wear them. No need to ever decide what to wear. You have the power to solve this by yourself.
I also don't think for example school uniforms are a good thing, as kids will find worse things to bully someone than their clothes. I got bullied and clothes hurt less, than something really hurting my self esteem, so no school uniform would've saved me there. But at least I could wear what I wanted instead of being forced to wear boring pants and shirts. Also often uniform can be a financial burden for poorer families if it's not paid by the school. Now, at work, I'm glad I don't need to iron a suit every day.
So kudos for posting a (to me) unpopular opinion.
