Re: Opinions you fear people will mock you for

Oh yeah. Depending on the context of mentioning it, it can certainly be disckish. Just like going off about how you hate all genre fiction in a fantasy writing community would. Or anything like that.

Also senseless.

But if asked by someone how you feel about it, and you just answer honestly, then that's different.

It's just like, you have the right to an opinion, but that doesn't mean that if you air it in a dickish way that it being an opinion makes it okay. If you're a dick about your opinion, you'e being a dick and people are free to criticize you as such.

Yes, I'd say that's fair, as long as someone who disclosed such an opinion was prepared for the possibility that they'd get a negative reaction from it. Being anti-genre in a fantasy community is nowhere near as personal as being anti-homosexual in a gay community, after all.

Yes

Honestly I apologize for that comparison. I meant it in an example of a social situation of spouting off a belief against something in a setting where many people believed the opposite. However I can see how that would be insensitive to the gravity of the situation. I apologize.

Oh no, I didn't think that at all, please don't sweat it. It was a fair comparison in the sense that people often interject themselves into a community in order to express an opinion that goes against that community, and then seems offended that they weren't well received. I understand that people have opinions about homosexuality being a sin, but I can't think of any good reason to expect a positive reaction from a gay person if they heard it.
