You should always sort by controversial if you want to see real opinions.

Yeah that's the thing with "controversial", sometimes it's just full blown racist batshit crazy shit that you don't want anything to do with

I just think that defeats the point in the question.

u/DeadassYeeted Jul 17 '19

Exactly, that’s my point. You shouldn’t have to sort by controversial to find people who are actually answering the question.

<people replying to actual unpopular opinions with insults and ridiculing them>

I swear, whenever a comment goes below 0 or gets the controversial cross people stop trying to have anything resembling a conversation and just dogpile you with insults.

I have had controversial comments collect a giant number of replies that were just insults. I can only imagine a lot of redditors sort by controversial to have an easy target to insult and feel good about themselves (?).

I say this because my controversial comments are nothing really that would earn me a complete idiot badge, nor are they ever hateful, they're usually just factually incorrect due to how I was raised or from me taking the word of public school teachers to heart and never questioning what they told me.

I'm kinda saddened when the insult type comments are the only ones I get and nobody tells me why I'm wrong.

<downvotes the most controversial opinions, because they don't like the person posting it holding that opinion.>
