There’s also the thread of dumping on a person for liking something because it is popular. “Boo! Basic opinion! You should like the weird niche stuff that I like because I fit into that extremely narrow niche!”

And I applaud the weird shit that isn’t for everyone, I think that’s where some of the stuff I love the most comes from, but sometimes there’s a very good reason that something is already widely beloved.

Take this meme to the thread where the guy says that blowjobs are overrated

Disliking things everyone else loves is easy.

• disliking something everyone loves -> everyone is invested

Someone (irl) said that Metallica - St. Anger is a great album the other day and it caused a bit of a ruckus in the group (mostly “oh, that’s a new sentence”)

There’s a lot of (hopefully joking) hate on the pineapple pizza crowd. If you liked certain Star Wars movies you’re likely to have all your Star Wars opinions disregarded by other fans. I think people like to make fun of the out group regardless.

Game of Thrones (the book and series) was way over rated. 4.5/10 wouldn’t stop half way through again.

See the unpopular opinions thread on blowjobs being mid.

I don’t like when people just say they like or dislike something… I like when they can explain why they like or dislike something. If they can’t do that, I assume their like/dislike is just group pressure from the beginning.

I didn’t like the Odyssey
