  • I think a big part of it is if the opinions main characteristic is that it’s unpopular. Yes, “hitler good” is an unpopular opinion, but much more so than that it’s a heinous horrifically ignorant opinion. So it gets downvoted for being an evil opinion, even though technically it is also unpopular.

    An opinion like “milk in the bowl before cereal is better” is more in line. Is it evil? No, it’s just unpopular most people wouldn’t agree but if you genuinely prefer milk before cereal in the bowl you’re not hurting anybody. So the defining characteristic of that opinion is that it’s unpopular and not some other “worse” characteristic.
