If you’ve never been in a relationship, then you should not give relationship advice or discuss relationships. If you don’t know anything about film, film history, storytelling, editing, etc., then you should not discuss the Oscars or Oscar-nominated films. If you’re only into MCU movies, then no—you aren’t a real Marvel fan and should not discuss Marvel. If you don’t have experience in a subject, then you shouldn’t discuss it.

    Sounds like a terminally online dweeb doesn’t like “normies” getting into whatever makes him a special widdle boy.

    Seriously though, I love it when someone that knows very little about what I’m an expert in engages me about it. I get to discuss things I like without having to worry if I’m boring someone that already knows or has heard it a thousand times.

    I’m sorry but I’m gonna need your qualifications and why you should be allowed to post about unpopular opinions…

    You just unlocked “stupid opinions”, though.

    Fantastic. A quality unpopular opinion, well done.

    Have my … upvote? Downvote? Which one is it?

        Real unpopular opinions are like “I think apple juice is an acceptable liquid for my cereal.”

        This is just a bad take.

        Bad takes get downvotes. Unpopular opinions get upvotes.

      Sorry sir, are you an expert on how information is shared? How about modern learning theory? If you aren’t a master of both, you should remove yourself from this discussion

    OP thinks that people shouldn’t be allowed to have conversations about things they enjoy or that interest them.

    OP is obviously not an expert on how communities or social interaction works.

    Beyond what others have already said about learning: When it comes to art, a child’s opinion on their first exposure to an art form is as valid as someone who has spent their entire life studying that art form.

    There’s a difference between discussing something and speaking as an authority on a topic. I have a coworker who parrots the saying, “seek to understand before seeking to be understood”. Nobody understands everything about anything. Having conversations and learning from them are part of gaining knowledge.

    My extensive knowledge of Soviet film theory means nothing to current Oscar discussions.

    OP is an idiot. And Dziga Vertov would agree with me

    Do you have any experience of suppressing people from learning ?

    Because if you don’t … stop discussing it according to your own theory.

    And if you do have experience suppressing people’s learning … forget you. That is a shitheel activity.

    I mean, uhh, kinda? But sometimes people have important questions and aren’t just asserting things from ignorance and to stop them from participating would just keep them ignorant which isn’t very prosocial of us. If you want to participate and speak your mind and know almost nothing about the topic, I think the most honest and least annoying way to do so is to give everyone a disclaimer (“I’m very ignorant about this but I feel like…”).

    Idk about talking about the Oscars and being interested in movies as a medium. Talking about the Oscars critically would require more knowledge about movies in the sense of “Hollywood is, at least today, just another Western grift”, their reasons for keeping the Oscars relevant and money-laundering schemes, lol.
