Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Agreed! That was one of the things I loved about The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Before Eastman and Laird started making heaps of money off toy sales the title was an adult comic book. As they were quickly selling about 1 billion dollars in towy it became tweener Kowabunga bullshit. Same with Elfquest, though that title never went full on adolescent.
Back in the day I used to read a rag called Cerebus The Aardvark, Go check it out. At one point it was the longest running comic that had a single continuous story.
It started as a parody of Conan and pretty quickly evolved into its own thing. You will either love it or not.
I'm so sad they quit the original vision. I'm of the age that I have nostalgia about the cartoons, but the comic was so good.
Not the most obscure one, but try The Boys. Comic is WAAAAY better than the show. Also extremely disturbing at times. Best comic I have ever read.
Edit: I forgot halfway through I replied, recommendation was for OP mainly.
Also Hellboy, Kill Six Billion Demons (https://killsixbilliondemons.com/), John Constantine, Hellblazer, Sandman, V for Vendetta, Preacher. I'll try to add more if I think any.
Stand still stay silent held me for a time. It ran for a few years. Not sexual, but definitely gory.
