Our tastes may differ on David Bowie and whether or not he sold the world, but that's alright.
I admit I don't often keep track of whether my opinions are popular, so it does often come as a shock to me to find out that, say, Final Fantasy 8 is despised as a matter of course. Weird, considering we live in a world where Final Fantasy 13, 15, and 16 exist. (15 in particular is a game where you have to buy a BOOK just to finish the full story because they cancelled the last chapter of DLC.)
Thing is, if I got into the opinions I KNOW are unpopular, I'm going to get political. For example, I'm not for "open borders", I'm flat out against borders.
Oh, there's that other thing. When someone randomly brings up that this or that actor... or cartoon character... is super "hot", I get caught off guard because I never see it coming...

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
