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/

I'm playing whack a mole constantly, blocking all these anime subs!

Not when that thing has dozens of communities for every little nuance a genre can have. For example:

Block the instance

Edit: I love anime but my response was for those who don't. If they want less then subscribe to the local ones and block the anime instances that aren't local

Damn, I created !dragonball@ani.social there, didn't know it would be so controversial

[–] finickydesert@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I love anime and I'm subscribed on there but if you look at the list if so many came from one instance then just block that instance from the app, I think there might be on the profile. Like:

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But blocking the whole instance would also block other communities like !anime@ani.social

[–] finickydesert@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't mean defederated but for the individual who hates amine just a one and done kinda thing

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

Ah, makes sense

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 month ago

...

So just use that list as a resource for what to block?

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

At least they are exhaustive

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Those moe are the worst because the majority are borderline loli.

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I resent that.

Please don't go around commenting things that will make readers think "moe" means something it doesn't.

And we have different ideas of what "majority" means: !officemoe@ani.social, !thiccmoe@ani.social, !fitmoe@lemmy.world.

My reasons for setting up the communities are explicitly non-pornographic, and even the quite sexy content is not the kind anyone faps to.

Its about charachter art that is adorable and compelling in a way that provokes attachment. Not arousal, or at least not just that.

The newest !smolmoe@ani.social specifically does not allow lewd content at all, even though it includes adult characters, because I know people like you would instantly make it weird.

And it is weird, but not in the fucked up way you're thinking of.

I like the idea of Moe in concept because that's what it's supposed to be. But every day it was another upskirt drawing.

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Then you'll enjoy the ones with posts that are only rarely tagged nsfw:

You keep saying "it's only this thing I don't like" but you haven't even looked, have you?

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

If it pops up on the top of lemmy.world and isn't loli, I don't block it. But there was a time a few months ago when every day was a new Moe that needed to be blocked. They weren't marked NSFW. But upskirt drawings of young girls are gross.

[–] SolarMonkey@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I’m with you on this. That may not be the intent, but it sure as hell is the vibe they give off.

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz -3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What "vibe"? The only descriptive words this person used are "worst" and "loli" and the obvious extrapolation there is a beyond serius accusation.

If you can acknowledge it's not the "intent", then why the fuck are you still "with" someone who seems to think that judging anime fans together with the absolute worst of humanity, is anywhere close to reasonable?

[–] SolarMonkey@slrpnk.net -2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I absolutely didn’t acknowledge that it isn’t the intent, I said it may not be.

I absolutely think that is the intent and I find those communities to be gross and have them all blocked.

You are so weirdly defensive about it. Almost like you know a lot of people find it highly questionable and they may have a point. If you think every anime fan is into that crap, you are very sorely mistaken, and if you don’t, you are using inapplicable generalizations to make a point and that’s just deceptive.

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I know it's an unfortunate reality for anime fans to be lumped in with pedos, and I shut it down the best I can wherever I find it. How the fuck did you get to an interpretation where I'm perpetrating that kind of thinking?

I absolutely think that is the intent and I find those communities to be gross and have them all blocked.

If you think every anime fan is into that crap, you are very sorely mistaken,

How can you hold those two views simultaneously? Those communities aren't small, are you saying their entire userbases are the worst of the worst?

and if you don’t, you are using inapplicable generalizations to make a point and that’s just deceptive.

What? If you think this, you're wrong, if you don't, you're also wrong? Which is it?

Are you saying that I'm pushing the idea that NONE of them are pedos, as if I'm ignoring the probability that at least some of them are?

And it's hardly "wierdly defensive" of me to speak up when I probably created most of the communities you're shitting on.

And as that creator, I can straight up tell you, it's not the "intent".
