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 understand that Russia is the aggressor and stuff. However, posting combat footage of people dying while playing funky music is disrespectful and disgusting. No matter how "bad" you think that person is.

No, not at all! I'm against any war or violence. Of course the best thing is to not kill in general. If not that, the next best thing is to not post videos of the killing. πŸ˜… However, adding such music adds a new layer: celebration. You now clearly state that you do not upload a video out of interest or morbid curiosity. You make clear that you celebrate and like what happens there.

That's an isolated issue.

Thes clips are part of the information warfare and serve to both, boost moral of your own troops and demoralise the enemy when they happen to see them. This is about much more than just celebrating violence and morbid curiosity.

But the "what" does in fact matter.

No, no matter what reason you may have for this, it's still disgusting and disrespectful. Even if the victim is a pedophile Adolf Binladen, even if the video serves propaganda, even if it'd had an economical benefit, even if (...). It does not matter.
