There should be as many video games where players kill imaginary dogs as there are games where players kill imaginary people.

Stay with me.

I love RED DEAD REDEMPTION. I have beaten both 1 & 2.

I’m not some kind of pacifist. I just get tired of shooting at imaginary people.

So… I thought one day I would get some practice with the sniper rifle killing stray dogs.

Holy shit!

The game threw a fit!

Full on murderous possie immediately.

But here’s what’s worse: the game HID ALL THE DOGS.

So… it just made shooting the dogs more special. Btw— I did this more in 1 than 2.

And I can’t find dogs in GTAV.

Mostly I won’t shoot imaginary people anymore. Just dogs. It’s a thrill.

Murder of humans in video games bothers me. Shooting dogs in video games does not.

I told you: this is an unpopular opinion. Prove me wrong.

You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [email protected]

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!

How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it’s something that’s widely accepted, give it an arrow down.

Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)

If your post is a “General” unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].

Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let’s make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.

2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others’ opinions.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.

5. No trolling.

This shouldn’t need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.

6. Defend your opinion

This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don’t expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.

Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
