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/

When you get older, it gets harder and harder to find an excuse to get all your friends together, so you start making up BS reasons to do so. I don't see any harm in it tbh and I seriously doubt that you actually believe those people are "already an unfit parent, and [their] kid should be taken from [them], at birth," and if so, please go outside more and look at what life is like for children who are taken from their parents (parents who are presumably loving and financially sound enough to throw a party for them).
Ain't nothing stopping you from just getting together, for some less stupid reason. Do that.
And you're wrong. I absolutely do believe every word of what I said. Even though the foster-care system is literally a torture and assault machine, it would be better for kids to be sent through that shit than to be saddled with parents who do fucking gender-reveal ceremonies. If you do that shit, you might as well just wear a t-shirt that says "I'M NOT JUST A MORON, I'M A NARCISSISTIC, SELF-OBSESSED, SHALLOW MORON."
If you're in foster care, you at least learn the truth pretty quickly: your caregivers don't love you, and you shouldn't trust them.
But if you're being raised by biological parents who are narcissistic morons, you might not realize that fact for your whole life. And so you're likely to be their willing slave, plaything, soldier, etc, all the way to their dying day.
I feel the same about people who make posts like yours. Its pretty narcissistic to assume the reasons you think they do it are the only reasons.
A bit rich for the pot to be calling the kettle black. Whats more gross is you are downplaying actual abuse when you put unimportant shit like this on the same level as actual abuse.
