    How oddly worded… I understand that this is “unpopularopinion”, but you say “despite them often being unattractive” as if it’s a fact they’re unattractive

      Contextually this is a … board? Sublemmy?.. whatever, the context is obviously opinions, it completely makes sense that in an opinion … zone… someone would state their opinion frankly or cavalierly.

        “Community” is the accepted term… that’s why the link to them is labeled ‘Communities’ and why it’s /c/. (On kbin, they’re Magazines, but kbin is the black sheep.)

        Difference between starting an opinion and making a leading statement.

        Manipulative people don’t even realize they’re doing it.

        ^ example of a leading statement, not an opinion.
