What’s your most controversial opinion? **Read OP** **Mod Note in Post #3372**

I’d say this isn’t as unpopular an opinion , moreso people just don’t say it in case the hysterical section of society jump on it. It is easier to keep quiet and let certain sections of society (particularly loud, overly emotional ones) think they are right by not engaging.

Id prefer some male associated roles like James Bond (007) or ghostbusters (for example) were just left male. It’s not that you can’t have female versions, it’s that it’s ok to not switch every f*cking character to female to show how “progressive” you are. It’s not that you can’t have female roles based in these movies, just don’t copy and paste females into male recognised characters/roles.

Give females more lead roles, more strong characters, but create them , don’t just copy and paste them into popular existing ones.

When society is trying to make progressive changes , it pretty much always goes from one extreme to another. Calling somebody Racist or sexist or xenophobic is not just something that is reserved for people who really are hateful anymore , it’s now easy to be branded one just by telling a joke or making a statement of fact.

Look at Klopp being branded racist by a regime who have slaves and a deplorable human rights record, how is that even possible? I could be branded sexist just for saying I want James Bond to remain male, that’s not sexist, it’s just a preference. I’m male and I like the character , I’m allowed to like male characters and want them to remain male, there’s nothing sexist about that.

Oh and white man privelage, f**k off with that sh*te. I’m not rich, I don’t treat people (females or non whites) like serfs , so don’t brand me something I don’t use or abuse. I work hard and have my own unique life struggles that don’t make my life sunshine and lollipops. Nobody cares about my problems or issues , don’t tell me to care about others because “they have it harder”. You don’t know that and saying “well you are white man” means nothing , it’s a pathetic ignorant statement. Might aswell say unless you are a starving child in a poor African country you are privileged and deserve no sympathy and should be grateful and STFU complaining.

It’s pathetic and it’s part of the reason there is a railing against what are intended to be good changes. It’s gone too far, like the nazi police , makes me think of life of Brian parody “all I said was the food was good enough for Jehovah” and your man is stoned to death. People losing their sh*te over language that is not aggressive but subjectively offensive. I’m not talking about people spiting hate and intentionally trying to stoke up anti minority dislike, I’m just talking about general chat that isn’t hate.

I Wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of the people professing moral outrage on these platforms are dicks in real like and treat people like sh*t, without any awareness of their behaviour because they are too busy correcting everybody else. It’s always easier to point fingers at others and highlight others flaws while ignoring our own. Like hardcore religious people back in the day lecturing people on what makes a good Catholic while beating their kids/wife or being an awful parent. (street angel , house devils)

Im no angel and not above hypocrisy but I have at least tried to change through a support group and therapy that helps me look at my behaviour to others, instead of constantly focusing on what others are doing wrong. I’d say a fair amount of the posters on boards could do with having a light shun on their own blind spots if they could put the keyboard down for a few minutes and actually reflect on how they treat people.

Before peoples irony detector goes off, I’m not above criticism , I’ve said stupid sh*te (I’ve posted misguided stuff in the past) which is why I said we all find it hard to see our own flaws, it’s just some of us are worse then others.

How many other Irish sports stars are professionals competing against amateurs??

The vast majority of people who claim to be offended on the internet aren't actually offended at all it is purely performative.

Persoon, who beat her in the first fight, but for dodgy judges, is a copper when she’s not boxing in her spare time.

LGBTQ and Woke ideology should be banned from schools.

We shouldnt be killing ourselves to comply to climate change regulation's when countries like china and india completely negate our efforts.
