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/

So says everyone who watches the superbowl but isn't big into football. See also the half-time show watchers. The people I am talking about are there for the sport.
Yeah I'm not big interested football, I only played until college, play fantasy football every season for almost two decades, once had a blog about my team, but sure I'm not that big into football at all. /s
I don't understand why you have to make assumptions about me based on your personal biases? Especially when you're wrong. Also not sure why people can't just enjoy non-football things while watching football.
Not liking the commercials or the halftime show doesn't make you more of a fan than somebody else, it just makes you sound like an elitist douche buzzkill, let people like things without being a prick about it.
I haven't watched a single superbowl, so I don't care about whatever elitism you read into that. I also have never met a single person who feels that the commercials are an important part of the entertainment who are really into football. First time for everything. Assuming you didn't just make up shit to back an argument, you decided to have with someone about their elitism, around a subject they don't care enough about to have elitist, or gatekeeping, sentiments about.
Maybe what I said came off in a different tone to you than it did for me.
I mean you're judging me based on finding a little bit of entertainment from commercials during a game, how else am I supposed to take it? Also don't turn this around on me, you're being the judgemental prick here about something dumb AF.
Also a pretty weird stance to take considering how you're saying you're not a fan, like who are you to judge my fandom especially when apparently you are not a fan?
Again, this all goes back to how about not being a judgemental prick and letting people enjoy what they enjoy?
Wasn't a judgemental statement as far as I am concerned. Unless you think someone assuming you don't prioritize the sport of the game you are watching because of your statement on the commercials is somehow a judgement on your character. I was bringing up that the people I know who stopped are there for the football, not the extras.
Well so sorry I don't meet your silly metrics for football fandom. 🤷♂️
Sorry my silly metrics bothered your silly sensitivities.
I'm just glad to see I was right when I judged you a prick, but don't worry my sensitivities are just fine because I'm enjoying myself rather than being a miserable hater online.
You are doing plenty of hating online, at the moment. Oh and I was replying to sarcasm with sarcasm, that makes us both pricks.
