Opinion (idk if it's unpopular or not, i just wanna share it XD):
Men rape women because they know they can get away with it. What I mean? You know how many men in 1000 who are accused of rape are actually innocent? Two. 2 in 1000 men are innocent. That means that 998 of them are guilty. How many rapists actually see significant jail time for what they've done? I don't know the exact number, but it ain't a lot. So men see that they can get away with it, because if a woman comes out and says "he raped me", the response is always this: "how dare you ruin this young man's future" "how dare you try to smear his reputation" "you're just looking for attention" "you're just trying to get famous" and other stuff like this. Even if it is obvious and known that the rape happened what the woman was wearing is used as "evidence" that she somehow wanted it. You were wearing a thong? Well, you were just asking for it. Like WAKE THE FUCK UP PEOPLE!!!
Ack sorry this turned into a rant not an opinion oops. Sorry.
Unpopular opinion: Lori most ouf your opinions suck. You should learn that there are a whole lotta things that aren’t black and white like you think they are. Namely that everyone that self diagnoses themselves are lying for attention and that everyone on the internet doesn’t care. (Those are the two that stuck out the most to me but there are others as well)
One, I'm pretty sure that wasn't an unpopular opinion. I'm sure most people agree with you because I attacked their kind. And I never said you had to agree with me, they're my opinions. And frankly I don't care if you do or not.
I'm well aware that the world isn't in black and white. There are some people who self-diagnose themselves because it's painfully obvious. I'm talking about the specific young groups that romanticize mental disorders and announce to the world that they have depression the second they start feeling sad.
And yes, I'm aware that there exceptions, such as long distance relationships and all that. But I'm saying the likelihood of someone actually caring about you, your opinions, your feelings, and all that are slim to none. Especially if you've never met them before.
Yk that's totally ok if you don't care whether people agree with you or not, actually it's preferred (in this chat, maybe not life as a whole), which is why I said what I said. Also, the unpopular opinion part was sarcasm (I probably didn't even need to address that bc you probably knew but whatever). But basically my point is that you can't just make sweeping statements about stuff like that. Most stuff is not that simple. Besides that, your view of some of this stuff is kinda negative (unnecessarily so). It's pretty dangerous to make negative sweeping statements; you could end up hurting someone in the process.
From my knowledge, the 2% statistic is extremely false, but apart from that, I'd have to agree.
But basically my point is that you can't just make sweeping statements about stuff like that.
Valid. But this is literally the only time I've done this. Because it's on the unpopular opinions forum. They are my opinions, not statements of truth. And if people are actually deeply hurt by something that I said, they need to get a life. What I say is not that important because I do exaggerate things and I don't really have an open mind (as bad as that sounds, it's true) so it's not like people can change my opinion anyway. (Got sidetracked there.) My point is: people shouldn't take what I say seriously in the first place. Hell, I know some of the things I said earlier aren't true. I just exaggerated them, mainly because I was pissed off.
Most stuff is not that simple.
Oh, I'm well aware.
Besides that, your view of some of this stuff is kinda negative (unnecessarily so).
That's fair. I'm a negative and pessimistic person and I'm well aware of it :)
It's pretty dangerous to make negative sweeping statements; you could end up hurting someone in the process.
I'm sure. And if anyone does get hurt, I'm sorry for hurting your feelings. But I honestly don't care because I still don't know any of you. Except for literally two people [on this site].
This is gonna make me public enemy number one, I can just feel it

With the disclaimer, (In my opinion, not that it matters lol) that makes a whole lot more sense. It's just that, as you've probably noticed, there are a whole lot of broken, sensitive people on here, some of which would take your words as the truth. But it's good we got that cleared up lol and sorry if I came off as too negative, sometimes I can be like that too.

And this is where I disagree.
I can guarantee, with full certainty, and not a single doubt in my mind, that there are multiple people on this site who truly do care about you.
That's because humans are weird, and will get attached to things really easily, even if they've never seen them before. Why do you think people cry in the movie theaters when the dog dies if they know it's not real and have never seen the dog in person?
Honestly, I feel closer to some of the users on this site than I do towards many of my (very few) IRL friends, and that's saying a lot…
…I don't know how to tie these properly into this but here are some articles

Online friends are real friends who you can easily get attached to, even without seeing them in real life, you can still have meaningful conversations, laugh together, and support each other during hard times, as a good friend would. Just because you have to hug in asterisks doesn't mean you don't truly care about each other.
Man this got intense! Smiles with extreme pleasure
(This chat went to ketchup is gross to… this. In like a couple of hours, oof)
Oh, and Lori? Feel free to not care about what I am about to do. I just want to and whenever I see no moral etc barrier to me doing what I want I start doing it immediately.
Unpopular opinion: most youth have not experienced a real anxiety attack and/or a mental breakdown, nor will they. And the fact that they are always going "omg I had two anxiety attacks today." is vaguely annoying.
and yes I do mean the youth on this site.
So what qualifies? I mean, does the crying from stress from school pressure count?
Daaaaaang I was always going to do something like this!!!
No it doesn't. That's being stressed out.
Panic attacks are debilitating. Meaning that a person cannot function for a period of time. Like a seizure without the unconscious part. (Most panic attacks will knock out a person afterward though, just because of exhaustion.) It's not: "I started crying and shaking and I was scared. Boo hoo. Pay attention to me." If you are experiencing a real panic attack, authorities need to be called and you need to get to a hospital. That's how serious it is.
Mental breakdowns are even worse. Like panic attacks on crack and the person actually loses sense of reality and needs to be hospitalized with 24 hour care. It's not casual or cute at all.
Thanks for the clarification.
What if your appearance was based on your personality. Like that would be a much better world than this one.
From my knowledge, the 2% statistic is extremely false, but apart from that, I'd have to agree.
Imagine my happiness to find a Freedom Toons at the end of this link.
This is gonna make me public enemy number one, I can just feel it
Ah Lori it doesn’t even matter. I have made 98% of the population of Notebook very angry indeed with my opinions. It always blows over.
Thanks for the clarification.
As you were the only person who appeared to care: You're welcome, my friend.

I'd look like a fucking friend.

I must keep you on your toes, else you'd find someone else more interesting to talk to.

Nah. I think Maleficent.
…..But she's S T U N N I N G
and I'm mean according to other users. So I'd be more like Sauron.

Fear not. It would take hard searching if not divine intervention to find one more eloquent and well reasoned.

Powerful yet unattractive, and yet draws others nonetheless.
Now that^^^ is an unpopular opinion.
*edit: Both of them
Edit. I did mean on this site. Think not that I hold you that highly. Just the possible highest of those I consider my peers.

I'd be over here lookin' like Jabba the Hut I'm not even kidding either
