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.

Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

For decades white people have been mocked for their dancing skills and then this shit is somehow considered good? Squatting, shuffling your feet, and swinging your arms up and down requires even less skill and coordination than the chicken dance.

Deeply weird that you made this a racial thing

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Particularly with the repetition of "lazy."

Also, just a quick glance at this trend makes it VERY obvious this shit is just an NFL marketing campaign and not a real thing. And also several years old?

The dance is specifically lazy. And why does it keep popping up on my social media?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

I wouldn't get too worked up about it. Let people have their fun and save your energy to stress about other things in life.

I feel like you guys don't get the point of this sub.
