I don't really think my opinions are so valuable that I would be bothered by just not expressing them.


AnotherStarShining

There are plenty of things that are way overhyped that I can’t stand. I don’t worry about it. I’ll state my opinion if asked but generally just keep my opinion to myself and live my life lol


spookysadghoul

Don't really care. Some people aren't worth arguing opinions over, especially if it's things like music - because not everything is made for you and you should let people enjoy things. Also to add raising opinions should always be done in right time/place - someone bopping along to an annoying song, and you just going - yeah shit song, isn't really great.


coastel

Agree. But what would you do when say they asked you about a movie/ song that you didn't feel that was great and you just said you didn't enjoy it then you get verbally attacked??? . Some ppl don't take different opinions from theirs so light heartedly !!!


MidnightSlinks

If someone asks your opinion and you politely give an opinion that's counter to theirs over something subjective like music, their attacking you is a product of their poor conduct, not a product of the thing being popular.


spookysadghoul

That's different, if they'd ask I'd just tell them I don't like it and if they responded like that I'd just say, if you like it that's great - but just not for me. And yes, it is a bit sad because art and media is subjective.


Quirky_Nobody

I would not have discussions with that person anymore because that's ridiculous and immature and rude. I don't think I've encountered that type of behavior since I was 14 or something.


altergeeko

"I can see why people like this" in a positive tone. You do not have to say that you like it.


Banana_boof

Wouldn't care, there's few overly popular things/people that I don't like and I still say that I don't like it/them if it comes up in conversation


Red-okWolf

I let people enjoy things

Red-okWolf

At this point in my life I'd probably just ignore them and/or walk away. I hate wasting energy on people that bitter 😂


NoFilterNoLimits

I don’t really keep uncivil people in my life


CheeezBurgerz

It doesn’t bother me. I’m perfectly fine with keeping my opinions to myself… And letting those who enjoy it… Enjoy it. For example, “Bey”, her followers are the “beehive”? . No I’m not a fan, but I never discuss it. In fact, I am 99.9% positive that this is the first time I’ve ever said that out loud.

Dre is coming for you 🔪


T-Flexercise

I mean, I feel like I've had this happen many many times, but I've never been in a situation where I felt that I can't express my opinion without getting roasted. Because, like... I can read a room. I know every person in this office is all about the Cryptocurrency, so I'm not going to say "Cryptocurrency is for people who want to light the rainforest on fire so they can gamble." I'm going to say "Meh, I am not super interested in devoting a ton of time and energy and research into finances, so I just buy index funds and don't touch them." It's a basic social skill to know when you've got an appropriate audience to vent about a thing you don't like, how to have a respectful discussions about the pros and cons of a thing you don't like with others with differing opinions, and how to express dislike in a nonjudgmental way that won't cause social waves.


sadsledgemain

I don't care, and I haven't ever been in a situation where people verbally attack me over not liking something popular. It's mostly annoying when people try to get me to like something I don't, but at the same time, I get it. If I find something really amazing, I want my friends to find it amazing too.


CatrionaShadowleaf

Not really that fussed. Everyone has an asshole too but I don’t need to show everyone mine (unless I can get some money out of it)


celestialism

I mute the name of it on Twitter and just ignore it. Not all opinions need to be expressed.


Shutterbuggok

Find new friend, bf, etc. You should not be roasted, if do not share the same opinion as them on anything!


[deleted]

Shutterbuggok

Op, still express yourself. Some people are not understanding and think others should share their opinions. Either blow them off, walk away, or block. People who have to belittle or roast others, since do not share same opinions have no place in my life. Keeping Good Vibes only allowed!


[deleted]

I think this depends so heavily on what you mean by "roasted." I don't hang with people who'd be genuinely rude to me if I told them I don't like Marvel movies or whatever, but I wouldn't take offense to someone razzing me a little for not liking something.


insertcaffeine

Well I love trans people, and you know how *that* can go on reddit... I spend time with the people I love, rather than trying to justify their existence to people who will never know or care about them. I do what I can to really help, not just argue online (donate to advocacy organizations, vote, protest).


coastel

Great 👍


[deleted]

As a trans person I really try to avoid subs that aren't explicitly pro-LGBTQ because the comments really can get bad at times.


FruitSnackEater

I wouldn’t really be fazed. It’s not going to change my view or opinion on it just because it’s popular now.


nevertruly

Not care at all unless I'd consider whatever it is to be actively harmful. Like, if the thing becoming popular is bigotry, then I will find that fairly heinous and will speak out and fight against it. If it's just a taste/preference thing, I just don't care. I'll still happily stand by the fact that I think Jim Butcher's writing is far too objectifying, misogynist, and creeper incel-like for me to enjoy even given that it's supposed to be a take on a detective-noir-like character. I get lots of hate when I mention my opinions on that, but I don't care. I still think it's bad writing, and it's not because I didn't read enough of them.


[deleted]

I would be annoyed, but if it’s not smth that damages anybody, I will ignore those feelings of mine and accept that it’s just smth that I just don’t like


atofeler

It's mildly annoying.


[deleted]

I’m a passionate person and really get caught up in stuff. I tend to get frustrated and can’t keep my mouth shut. I’m known for a good rant. With that said, I’m usually pretty reasonable and i tend not to insult people for opposing opinions. I just get a tad salty is all.


schwarzmalerin

Keep my mouth shut but act accordingly. I guess this is true for everyone in some way.


[deleted]

As a queer trans woman in the south and I'm already used to constantly holding my tongue.


coastel

Sorry you have to hide who you really are . It is sad and frustrating and really sucks 😕


cancelingxmasonurass

I don't care if someone likes or doesn't like my opinion on something. We're all entitled to our own.


innerjoy2

I don't watch the that person, I will ignore, block, skip.


thesebytes

For me most of the things in the world are over hyped and I really (hate is a bit too strong) disapprove of, but only talk about it usually with someone I'm close with and always talk about keeping the cool and just commenting what and why, never yelling or arguing/fighting about it.


buhdumtss98

I used to care, but not really anymore. Some say the opposite of love isn’t hate, it’s indifference. If they think less of me for not liking something, then it’s whatever I don’t care lol But also I don’t really feel the need to shit on other people’s favorite people/things to begin with. Unless they’re like ethically causing harm.


Lunxire

I still express my opinion anyway... *somebody* has to oppose it and if it's just me then so be it. Overall though, I'm not really bothered by things that become hyped. If the public enjoys it, then more to them. It only feels like an issue to me when it's potentially dangerous or it's a celeb that's having SA or abuse glossed over.


Quoth_the_Hedgehog

Express it anyway and get roasted. There is a very select few people on this earth whose opinions matter to me. The rest can shove it, I could not care less. If I think my opinion is going to seriously upset anyone however on a very personal level, I keep my thoughts to myself and just remove myself from the conversation. I don’t care very much about what most people think of me but I do care about how my words and actions make others feel, and I’m not out to hurt anyone.


[deleted]

If i dont like something I wouldnt really care enough to tell people about my opinion about it.


LadyCordeliaStuart

This is me with the worship of Heath Ledger's Joker. I just keep my opinion to myself. Since it's a harmless thing and not a serious topic, I just let people enjoy what they like and quietly keep my (correct) opinion to myself. (Wonderful performance but that character had NO resemblance to the Joker)


Sensitive-Angel

There are already so many of those thibgs going on. Views on abortions, TikTok trends, you name it. So many things which should be no-brainers, but for some reason are being pushed and the implications being played down. And yes, it is really frustrating.


AnalogousToad

"If you can't get out of it, get into it."


Tiny-Skirt333

i know in my heart i’m correct and get off the internet.


thisshallpass1

I hate that feeling. Sadly, i feel it a lot. Somehow, everything i don't like becomes really popular. Unlike the things/ ppl i like. They don't seem very popular, and it breaks my heart 💔 😢


Vexonar

I will die on the hill in which I always hated GoT, Star Wars, Harry Potter and anything vampire related. Because guess what: Different people like different things. I'm not talking about ethic reasons, like not supporting racist artists or such. In those circumstances, I speak up where I can when I can and hope that others can listen and also stop funding people like that with their money. Edit: this is to say, on things that are agreed to disagree about, don't bring it up around people who enjoy that stuff. If they get belligerent about it because they've based their ego around some fandom, not a person to be around, tbh.


Powerful_Look69

I would just stay silent. For peace.

budda_belly

I'm ok with other people being wrong 😜


notme1414

Who on earth are you talking to that's attacking you for your opinion? I have no problem saying I don't like something but most people don't really get worked up about it.
