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/

That’s an owner problem, not a cat problem. Cats are what they are. I think most people that dislike cats do so because they can’t treat them poorly and command them yet still get that subservience from them like dogs as you mentioned. They don’t want or like animals that tell them to fuck off.
One way I heard it said: Cats form their own opinions, cats require consent, cats come with boundaries. Beware of people who don't "get" cats.
I don't necessarily think every person who likes being in charge is automatically a bad person. Dogs are fine too. But it's generally a warning sign if someone can't cope with not being in charge.
I love this comment - cool insight fellow human.
That’s a better way to say it. Agreed.
Meanwhile, cat owners: This is my roommate, their existence heals me
