2023 unpopular opinion thread

[boogs]

Just start calling anal “fakie,” and vaginal “regular.” Although unintentionally heteronormative, it effectively distinguishes the front and rear butts.

fixed that for you

I figured fakie involved oral, but alright. What’s switch then?

Bahahahaha, that’s what I was thinking, too. Agreed.

[SneakySecrets]

Back in my day, pegging was just what bmx kids did to fuck up ledges.

If we're using skate terminology, I'm definitely going to call anal "frontside indy" like the perverted deviant I am.

this shouldn't be unpopular but it probably is

the word "pussy" needs to stop being said unless you are referring to a woman's vagina/vulva. find a different word or phrase. it's not even accurate - yall can't even handle period cramp pains. maybe something like "grow a pair" or "stop being such a bussy" instead. "wimp" is fine too!

sincerely, someone with a pussy

[close]

This makes sense and I'll try to remember to avoid its usage in the future. Thanks for pointing it out.

[close]

thanks so much, I genuinely mean it. this has been on my mind bc I was at the park last week and was standing near a local guy that I am decently acquainted with, and he said to his friend "I'll try to not pussy out" or something like that. It bothered me more than I thought.

How does "grow a pair" make any more sense though? It's exactly as stupid and inaccurate

[close]

this was mainly a joke alternative, but it actually is accurate the more I think about it.

the main derogatory use of the word "pussy" refers to a man who is not sufficiently masculine, therefore associating him with being weak or cowardly via comparison to female genitalia. it's inherently derogatory to women. you could say that the phrase "grow a pair [of balls]" could refer to that same concept - not being masculine enough because his testicles are nonexistent/growing/not large.

any jab at genitalia or anatomy or bodily characteristics is not cool, I agree. and very silly.

Imagine telling a female to grow a pair when they're scared to commit to a trick

Being generally more positive is probably best the way to get this point across - "you got this" "just commit" "send it" (if you're that kind of person) "stick it" etc...

Still probably gonna call myself a pussy if I'm afraid of trying a trick tho. I rarely ever say that *to* anyone

[close]

absolutely agree. I can't imagine degrading any fellow skater in hopes of pumping them up, when there are so many great alternatives like the ones you've mentioned! totally fine to have whatever inner dialogue going on up there, just not out loud. I think it's nice to "read the room", so to speak, at skateparks nowadays and adjust behavior accordingly. I am admittedly pretty bad about this because I can't seem to stop cursing around kids.

[close]

Your post is interesting in concept but it's one sided. You should have included that women should stop calling men dicks if your main premise is genitalia should not be used as a personality descriptor. Or do you think one is more acceptable than the other? That could be an interesting discussion.

Sincerely, someone with a dick.

Unpopular opinion - I do not give a single shit about the 2012-Tumblr “dick” and “pussy” shit and we should stop litigating these asinine semantic arguments.

Too short and a lot of the bay area rappers used the word "cock" to describe vagina. Found that kind of jarring when I moved there.

this is the last engagement I'll provide because I tried to explain things pretty simply, but only 1 or 2 of you understood. it's disappointing.

casual, culturally-enmeshed misogyny is not an asinine semantic argument LOL. it is not a dead horse to be flogged, either. jesus christ I feel sorry for the women in your lives. do better. if you can't understand that misogyny is wrong and completely rampant, you should feel great shame.

Lol, yea missed that.

Either way, I'm clearly joking.

I'm sure she understands that and is more than capable of sticking up for herself if she feels the need to.

If 'pussy' is as derogatory as calling someone a 'dick', where's the misogyny? Sounds like gender equality to me. Is 'asshole' fair game? As a dude, I feel no way personally, or as a member of the male constituency, about dick being a common insult. I don't see how 'pussy' reflects negatively on women as a whole, and I don't think most people who use it colloquially think misogynistically when they refer to someone that way.

Genetalia need not be gendered anyway. The trans and gender non-binary community doesn't take very kindly to it, I've heard.
