Default Unpopular Opinions Thread

All opinions you feel are unpopular, so long as they’re not too controversial, are welcome here. My own to begin with is that Carolina Reaper, at least the way I cook them, aren’t too spicy (maybe it would be different if I ate one whole; scotch bonnets are hot enough raw and whole) and that the whole ‘pre vs. post-pandemic’ tingy-o is very annoying. The general state of the world was poor long before February 2020 and plenty of individual things have always been on their own time-trajectory, not necessarily influenced by the pandemic at all. EastEnders for example is the best it’s been in years and years (the 2010s - besides 2010, 2014, 2019 and maybe some of 2011, even if that was the year it started tanking big-time - were notoriously mostly garbage and increasingly unpopular) but some ignorant people who probably don’t really even watch the show take the cue of life apparently beginning again from Covid onwards and cap off the classical era at just when the pandemic begun. It’s become fashionable to blame everything on a pandemic that came and went (more or less) 2/3 years ago and now a lot of individual trajectories have been mapped onto the ‘oh, since Covid, it’s been crap’ rhetoric even when it could not be more relevant in those individual cases.

As for the pepper-dem ting … well. Peppers come in all shades across the world and some are hotter than others but there’s a way they can be mellowed and curbed some. Yellow habanero peppers (ose Nsukka, it’s known as locally in the part of Nigeria it comes from) are probably just as hot as Carolina Reaper but they’ve never been measured against each-other officially. That would be an interesting call but until then I’m more inclined to say that those little yellow peppers are slightly hotter.

Also. I don’t know how unpopular these are but barbecue (I.M.O.) has, like, no place on pizza and beer > vodka any day, any time, anywhere.

And that’s my lot for now. Come and add your own.

I don't think racism is as much of big thing it's being portrayed in the UK media, and social media right now.

.......

The left leaning people only seem to care about racism when it's white vs any other race. Perfect example being the Asian guy vs the Black woman.

Had that shop owner been white?!

......

The Tories are scum, but why do people risk their lives daily to get here in the UK?

Six unpopular opinions that I hold.

1. Sonic Boom: Rise Of Lyric was a fun Game, I would like to see it have a re-release someday, but then I do like Game Preservation, but my point still stands.

2. I prefer L.A Noire to RDR out of Rockstar's non-GTA Games.

3. Berserk 2016 was a great Anime, just because it has CGI doesn't change the fact that it has one of the greatest stories ever told imo. Even if certain chapters were admittedly cut (which puts the adaptation behind Bastard!! Heavy Metal, Dark Fantasy for me) out of LidenFilms Animes that I've seen, but still it's a very good Anime, and imo a lot better than a lot of people will give it credit for.

4. I don't mind Marc Roberts for Blues, I always find that he gives 100% to the club.

5. Bastard!! Heavy Metal, Dark Fantasy is better than Chainsaw Man out of the Ecchi Fantasy Animes.

6. I like the taste of Vegan food.

The sexist tradition of women marrying into a man’s family (even if just on paper) is more important than half the stuff third-wave feminists talk about.
