For those who aren’t familiar, r/changemyview (CMV), is a subreddit similar to this one (and its reddit counterpart) where posts are made with the intention of counter-arguments being made in the comments below.
Do you think that this community should function similarly? Where OPs are expected to receive counter-arguments for their unpopular opinions? Or do you think this community should only be for expressing those opinions in a safe space?
I like unpopular opinion because it functions more as “unpopular facts”. It can disprove popular narratives or myths. Knowledge from the comments can reveal some objective truth.
CMV simply refutes your point, whether or not you’re “right”. Like you could say “racists are bad” and somebody would have to “prove” you wrong.
