Perhaps it should be named “unconventional opinions that I still agree with”? Or perhaps “lol lets see what opinion they post now” (to be fair, the WHY ARE YOU BOOING ME? I’M RIGHT is sort of this)?
People are just upvoting and downvoting what they agree and disagree with, so it basically comes off as a trap to get things to laugh at - which it isn’t even good at. Should people not be voting on “yes, this is something that is genuinely unpopular”?
I think a big part of it is if the opinions main characteristic is that it’s unpopular. Yes, “hitler good” is an unpopular opinion, but much more so than that it’s a heinous horrifically ignorant opinion. So it gets downvoted for being an evil opinion, even though technically it is also unpopular.
An opinion like “milk in the bowl before cereal is better” is more in line. Is it evil? No, it’s just unpopular most people wouldn’t agree but if you genuinely prefer milk before cereal in the bowl you’re not hurting anybody. So the defining characteristic of that opinion is that it’s unpopular and not some other “worse” characteristic.
