Your unpopular opinions

[Daxank]

One of mines is :

What's up danger, from the Spiderverse soundtrack isn't good... hell, most of the soundtrack kinda sucks

[Chalupacabaras]

One of the most unpopular opinions I will ever publicly utter online:

"It's all fun and games until you're on the receiving end of your own bad ideas."

Now you understand why I don't carry grudges. Anger is pointless when karma is your ally.

Video games normalize violent behavior.

Are the video games in the room with us now, xDDD? Are they currently influencing the guns to stand up, jump into children's hands, and forcing them to shoot their best friends, xDDD?

Studies have proven that video games do not cause violent behavior.

"Nah bro, spending 8 hours per day killing/shooting increasingly-realistic people has zero effect on anyone's mind! Don't be silly!"
Video games aren't the only form of media that normalize violent behavior, but they are the form which you actively participate in rather than just observing.

Yes and the stats remain the same while you desperately try to wrap you 'argument' in happy paper.

If video games cause violence, why isn't Japan violent? Why isn't the whole world in a figurative death spiral, with children and adults killing each other because they saw it in a video game?

Just because you simulate something, doesn't mean your mind automatically goes "Woah. That's a good idea. I gotta kill everyone I see."

I get the irony here, considering who my Steam profile is named after, but video games have been proven, time and time again, to not induce violent impulses in children.

Every time I eat its bad. I ate a bunch today, so I'm terrible. And need to punish myself, but no punishment is harsh enough.

Thats my opinion thats unpopular

I'm a fan of that diet offered by the late Platypus Man(Richard Jenni):
Duct tape, otherwise known as "Stop eating you fat bastard!"
You'll thank me when the weight falls off.

In fairness nobody knows what Danar was doing during the occupation or if he condoned any of the Cardassian's actions at the time (yes he was likely responsable for similar acts during his time as head of Cardassia but those clearly aren't what Kira is referring to). Also if you are going to use it as an example of Karma same goes for his family who were killed, and his own death most likely lead to one of the "Sons of Tain" being head of Cardassia of whom was likely more complicit and in more of a position of power when those acts were committed. And while there could be MUCH worse Cardassians in charge Damar was a lot more compassionate and warmer then Iilem.

The irony could be that these 'apparent' deaths via games are really caused by balloon heads with real life AK's, Uzis and AR 13's

That isn't how normalization of violent behavior works. It doesn't just flip a switch and make everyone violent, it makes violence less shocking and less unthinkable to people because they've seen it many times and think it is normal.

And I mean.... the #1 market for Call of Duty sure has had a lot of mass shooters in the past few decades, several of whom were avid players of violent video games such as Call of Duty... Just saying....

It has also been proven, time and time again, to increase aggressive behavior in children.
