Lemmy users project their toxicity towards Reddit. This place can be quite hostile if you don't echo the 'correct' ideals.

I prefer rap music by white artists because it's less likely to feature the N word.
That isn't just an unpopular opinion, but a very interesting one. Bravo.

Abortion should be mandatory.
People keep arguing over whether abortion should be legal or not, but my opinion is that it should be forced on everyone whether they want it or not. Late term abortions up to 100 years after birth should also be considered for inclusion in this rule.
One of my favourite activities is finding controversial opinions, then taking an opinion so extreme that it makes everyone else look like a centrist.

too many dudes in this thread thinking eugenics and pedophilia are unpopular. They're very popular and that's a very bad thing
Jack black isn't funny at all. He's worse, incredibly fucking irritating and annoying and a try hard. He epitomizes mainstream US "comedy"; obvious, loud, overstating the delivery of jokes with overwrought physical humor. He and Horatio Sanz must have studied under the same Sithlord. Can't stand him.

I'm frustrated more people are complacent with the state of the world, including myself.
The Beatles suck.
The Eagles are not as amazing as everyone thinks.
I didn't really like the Beatles until I started listening to all the non-#1 hit songs.

I think 10 years ago this would've been unpopular, but today maybe not so much:
systemd is great software. I don't use distros that refuse to ship it. Especially the init system. Thanks, Lennart!
Sonic The Hedgehog (Sonic '06) is an absolute gem of a game in its original buggy mess form it released in. The bugs and frustration they cause only add onto the charm.
Also, the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog (not SatAM) cartoon is just as good, if not slightly better, than SatAM due to the absolutely goofy atmosphere. Some of the jokes in Adventures were great. Absolutely loved the joke on Sloww Going where they had Tails writing down whatever Sonic said they needed to rebuild a house for a family of sloths and when Sonic goes to look back at what he wrote, it's nonsense and Tails has to remind Sonic that he's only 4Β½ years old and doesn't know how to write yet.
Saw a video pop up in the incognito mode thing for yt about Tails being a savage and I found a comment that absolutely resonates with why I absolutely LOVE that version of Tails as well and why he's the best version of tails ever. They were saying how his personality really makes him feel like a little kid without a filter. Absolutely the best Tails ever, so I 100% agree with that comment.
It's insane how many removed call lots of the ideas here "Eugenics". Eugenics is about producing the best GENES possible, while a lot of the replies here say that bad parents should not be allowed to make kids. Nobody talked about stopping people who aren't so "perfect" (biologically-wise) to make kids. Just not have more kids suffering by growing in abusive and broken households or been poor and have it very hard in life.
People are Lemmy are not much smarter that those on Reddit, it seems...
Eugenics is a system of controlling reproduction. Many eugenesists may have believed that being a member of a certain race or having certain congenital diseases made one inferior (and thus unworthy of the right to reproduce), but the basic principle some people should reproduce and some people shouldn't.
Like why do you think people are against eugenics? Because they're afraid we might accidentally bring an end to genetic diseases? That there might be too many blonde people? That they care deeply about people who don't exist yet's rights to be some particular way?
So yeah, when you propose a rule controlling reproduction...
your semantic understanding of eugenics doors not seem to understand why people opposed eugenics and eugenics policies.
Eugenics is about producing the best GENES possible
"Eugenics" was a term decades before "genes"
Even if the etymology was different, you'd still be very wrong [about what "eugenics" is]
