IMPORTANT: “Criticism” that starts with “All *…” or is obviously insulting, or defaming beyond verified facts is excluded.

You might be thinking “no shit, Sherlock”, but it is really common that legitimate criticism is dismissed as anti-* or *-phobic, or because of political or religious ideology.

    You literally just explained why this is an unpopular opinion. It isn’t that it is shocking, it is just disappointing that it is an intrinsic flaw of human cognition to be resistant to challenging our own preconceived beliefs and are prone to letting bias cloud our judgement.

      You’re not expressing an unpopular opinion, you’re just wishing people practiced the beliefs they proclaim to have.
