What's some really unpopular opinion you have?

Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

Child beauty contests are completely harmless. Their negative impact is in no way greater than anything competitive sports does to children. People, however, need to do tons of virtue signalling, so they scream about the terrible "sexualization" going on there, when it is in fact just some kids playing dress up, one of the most natural games children play.

It's definitely an unpopular opinion, but it's also a fucking stupid one.

Do you have any substance? and real argument?

or just vacuous insults is enough for you?

What do we need arguments for, mate? It's been talked about a thousand times. It's bad, it HAS horrible psychological effects on kids and it IS sexualizing them. You're wrong just to be contrarian. It's annoying. It's not Kids playing dress up, it's that while they are getting rated (eeew) by adult people.

You're just repeating the stupid shit that everybody wants to believe.

Why not provide some evidence?

Oh, you can't. because there is none. Hmmmmmm.

So the kid's attractiveness isn't being rated by adults?

Speaking as a psychologist, you really need to be squinting to think like this. Consider motivations for entering into such a contest and who they're held by.

You're deflecting because you can't argue anything on the merits.
