There a reason why it is called unpopular opinions y’know. If were just called “opinions” then it would make more sense. But the whole point is that people post to unpopular opinions is because they know it’s not aggreeable so it defeats the purpose of unpopular opinions when people come here just to counter argue with what has already been deemed an unpopular opinion.
No, it doesn’t. I upvote every opinion on this sub that I disagree with, but will often argue with the OP anyway. Expressing an unpopular opinion on the relevant forum doesn’t mean you’re immune from having to defend it.
