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/

I only know about OGLAF. I don't know why this genre is not popular as much as it should be.

A lot of anime can toe this line, this issue with anime is that a fair amount if the well written anime feature fanservice with visually underage characters. Even the original dragon ball had nudity. Its largely a western issue, maybe specifically the US but im not sure. For some reason in the US the human body is seen as inherently sexual and its super gross to me. I always try to upvote womens liberation stuff because my biggest issue is the hypocracy surrounding breasts. Seperately I support naturism, but I recognise that convincing the US that nudity isnt something to be scared of isnt super realistic.

I mean both can be true at the same time. The USA are definitely weird with their prudity but that doesn't make the lolicon stuff in Japan better.

Spitting straight up facts. America got really wierd about bodies and sex and I may or may not be wearing a tinfoil hat about it. Also, I LOVE some degeneracy but it has to come from someone who's consensually touched a woman before.

So, send me anime recommendations that don't make you want to claw your eyes out.
