What is an unpopular opinion?
An unpopular opinion can be defined as a view or belief that the majority of people do not like or would not want to easily admit to, even if they might hold some truth.
Unpopular opinions could come from any topic or interest, including religion, politics, food choices, health, etc, and could be triggering to some individuals, especially if it touches a deeply-held belief.
