Inspired by a clip I just saw on Instagram.

Deep breath.

Here goes.

Robin Williams wasn’t particularly funny.

ETA “Start” obviously.

Trans people are not ‘the most vulnerable in society’. Transwomen may get attacked by men, but so do normal women, and transwomen are far more physically capable of fighting back.

The most vulnerable in society are the likes of a baby living with an XL bully or a person with dementia.

People who smoke weed are losers

Parents who give their kids phones as babies are lazy

Parents of obese children with no underlying medical conditions are neglectful

I wouldn't say those were unpopular opinions.

He said the same. He also thinks you’re an idiot. Im sorry. I think it’s rude but that’s his opinion on you.

I can live with that

I can spot a 6 Music listener a mile off with my good eye covered.

Got it in one! 😜

Cat ownership should be severely curtailed. Our island was not meant to be having all these domesticated pets running free and decimating the native wild life and song bird population.

I'd much rather someone bring their dog to my house than their kids.

You haven’t met my dog then 😂

They already come last, don't worry!

Well, precisely but not last enough for some, clearly.

The most vulnerable being babies, children, the elderly, the disabled, sick, dying - so we stop caring for those people and what? Let them die? Let the healthy and wealthy get healthier and wealthier? There’s a reason that’s not a popular opinion.

I enjoy watching BBC programmes and don't mind paying the TV licence.

Prosecco is unpleasant.

I enjoy eating dairy products. I don't like the trend towards replacing "vegetarian" options on menus with only "vegan" options.

But, that said, Greggs Vegan Sausage Rolls are just as tasty as the meat version.

All of this!!! Well said

Private school is much, much, MUCH better than state school in every single way and people who say it isn't are mostly just bitter inverted snobs.

Hard agree. We only use it for the child who is SEN so we don’t tell the other kids who are at state but the difference in education is staggering. Happy, confident, creative, inspired kids in the private school. The total opposite in our kids state. It’s so shameful.

plsdontlookatme · 06/02/2026 23:03

Autistic children without behavioural issues often get overlooked and it's actually not fair

If you're a vegetarian for ethical reasons, you should definitely look more closely into dairy farming.

I think it's worse than beef farming - cows forced to be pregnant and then the calf ripped away and taken to slaughter, over and over again.They literally exist to be a living resource. It's torture - at least beef cows get to escape by being slaughtered.

When on your own and out with your baby in the pram, just use the disabled loo rather than peeing with door open/holding it/letting a stranger watch your baby.

Private landlords are not the source of all evil.

I’ve always used the disabled toilets if a family toilet isn’t available. Even now my daughter is 3 as there just isn’t enough space in most normal ones.

It’s brilliant!

Mine is that lockdown went on for far, far too long and did untold damage to the country, to the economy, and to everyone's mental health. It was an awful time.

Gin is the most disgusting alcoholic beverage.
Except maybe Port, forgot about that

I agree!! Make it whatever flavour you want it’s still gross!

Oh, an unpopular opinions thread. Let's sit back and wait for the influx of racists, anti-semites, benefits bashers, disability bashers, fat shamers, thin shamers ... three, two, one ...

Oh, let's sit back and label everyone with an unpopular opinion as racists, anti-semites, benefits bashers, disability bashers, fat shamers, thin shamers.

Chanel no.5 is worse!!! Eau de granny in the 1970s

Cor, you had posh grannies.

Eviangeica · 06/02/2026 23:07

I have a few.

I agree with the new Merlin annual pass pilot scheme.

XL bullies should be euthanised, there should have been no certificate of exemption for them. Any breeds that were traditionally bred for fighting should also be euthanised.

Salad cream is the work of the devil.

Dickens’ novels are incredibly tedious. The only thing more boring was the BBC adaptations that ruined every Sunday afternoon of my childhood.

Absolutely yes. If he was around today he'd be writing scripts for Eastenders rather than being lauded as some kind of literary genius. He churned out maudlin, cheesy pap by the yard.

@wanttokickoffbutcant maybe you know this but it tastes like soap due to you having a genetic variation it affects at least 5% of the population

Mind Blown!
I’ve always said coriander tastes like fairy liquid and could never understand why on earth other people like it, now I know…

Unpopular opinions thrrads are just a way to show peoples prejudices.

No! They are to let people show off in safety their non-PC opinions. Here's mine. Transwomen are men and they can get stuffed. Here's another, Israel did not commit genocide in Gaza, but Hamas and Gazans committed genocide in Israel on 7th Oct - and the fact that this is the anniversary of the battle of Lepanto in 1571, when Christian Europe defeated Islamic Turkey, is no coincidence.
I have others.
Mind you, I am in favour of legal immigration.

Same, I couldn’t eat pasta without garlic bread!

Prince Harry was never good looking. His eyes are too close together.
