The single best way to show that you think your opinion is inconsequential is to submit it to the comm as a secret.

[(Anonymous)]

Someone doesn't understand how this comm works...

what

[(Anonymous)]

Is that honestly how you've been viewing the secrets here the whole time?

Re: what

[(Anonymous)]

No, just in the case of OP, since when they've shared this opinion in the past (with the exact same wording, so it's almost definitely the same person), they've said it's inconsequential, and that they don't care to hear anyone else's opinion on the movie, since everyone else's opinions on it are inconsequential, as well.

Mostly I'm amused that OP thinks it's an inconsequential movie, and that all opinions of it, good and bad, are inconsequential, but that it's simultaneously worth making a secret about.

Also, I've typed "inconsequential" so many times that it's starting to look oddly

[(Anonymous)]

It's OK, buddy. You don't have to like the secret, just have a little nap and maybe you'll feel better.

[(Anonymous)]

... Were you under the impression that this community is only for super important fandom stuff?

[(Anonymous)]

No, but I was under the general impression that someone who says, "my opinion is unimportant, and so is that of everyone else" would be unlikely to make a secret about the opinion they've said is unimportant, and the subject about which they've said no opinions matter.

[(Anonymous)]

LOL... I make secrets about the fluffy, ridiculous cdramas I'm hooked on and how hot actors are. I wouldn't say my opinions about those cdramas/actors are important, but you know, making secrets is something fun to do.

[(Anonymous)]

They're not "important," per se, but they matter to you in some sense, right? These are things that you like and engage with and have feelings about, which makes them a step above inconsequential. You aren't claiming to be in a state of total apathy when it comes to cdramas and hot actors.

[(Anonymous)]

Sure. But I wouldn't say that the cdramas or hot actors are of serious consequence (because LOL come on), nor would I claim that my opinions on them should matter to anyone because that'd be pretty arrogant of me. So I guess they are arguably rather inconsequential. I make the secrets for fun, or just to express a random thought I had. Lots of people do that here?

Nonny, I think you're really stuck on this in a way that's a wee bit too much. Some people make really deep, important secrets about stuff that matters to them a whole lot. Some people don't. The community isn't only about the fandoms or opinions that are at the core of someone's existence, it's a lot more generalized and open than that.

[(Anonymous)]

Well no, but the issue isn't whether they're of serious consequence; it's whether it makes sense to express any thought at all if your feeling is that there's no point in sharing or discussing it. If a friend expressed a random, unimportant thought to you, and you responded to it, and they then said, "that was a random, unimportant thought, so I don't care to hear anything you have to say about it," I imagine it would strike you as odd that they'd shared it with you to begin with, right?

Most of what we share in this comm is ultimately of very little importance, but we still want to share it, right? And we still want to talk about it, even if it's silly. It's not the done thing for OPs to reply to comments on their secrets with, "why did you respond to this? It doesn't matter, and I have no desire to know what you think about it." Surely we would all agree that that would be strange and kind of rude, even if the secret was, "I like that my fav wears the color purple."

[(Anonymous)]

... are you okay, nonny? I don't really understand what it is you're getting at. Making silly secrets really is just for fun on my part, there's no weird agenda or deep thought process behind it. It's just an entertaining way to pass the time, even if they're not earthshaking opinions or if nobody really cares what I think about such-and-such actor or that guilty pleasure romcom I binged last week.

[(Anonymous)]

Right, but if someone replied to one of your silly secrets, surely you wouldn't say to them, "hey, look, I just made this for fun. It doesn't matter, so stop commenting on it."

I'm not supposing there's any agenda behind any of this. I'm suggesting it's odd to express something, anything at all, that one doesn't think is worth anyone talking about.

[(Anonymous)]

This is a comm about fandom... all of it is unimportant. Or did you think we were solving world hunger here?

[(Anonymous)]

There's a difference between "this is unimportant in the grand scheme of things" and "I don't care about this at all, and don't want to talk to anyone about it." When I'm sharing pictures of Rebecca Ferguson, I recognize that it's frivolous, but beneath the pictures I don't write, "I don't care about Rebecca Ferguson. My opinion of her is meaningless, and so are the opinions of everyone else."

[(Anonymous)]

Why are you so hung up on this? The secret says nothing about importance at all.

[(Anonymous)]

But OP has said it, in conjunction with this very opinion, written with the exact same words.

[(Anonymous)]

Where?

[(Anonymous)]

On other days here on FS, during other discussions of this movie. They seem to keep repeating it, which doesn't make any sense.

[(Anonymous)]

And you know they're the same person as OP... how?

[(Anonymous)]

Because they've used the exact same wording, right down to the bit about Wonder Woman.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think you quite grasp what this community is for or how it's used. Are you new here?

[(Anonymous)]

My impression has always been that this comm is for sharing opinions that people don't feel comfortable sharing in fandom, not for sharing opinions that someone thinks are inconsequential.

[(Anonymous)]

Ah. You do have a mistaken impression about the community, then. Just look through the archives and see how many secrets are about trivial stuff. Like... most of them are? It's not always about controversial stuff, sometimes people just like sharing some fandom thoughts they had and maybe they don't have anyone else to share it with. I mean, somebody made a secret about cooking videos and avocado toast. And there was a secret about X-Files and Mulder's awesome hair.

It's not that deep, my friend.

[(Anonymous)]

But, presumably, all of those people have thought that their opinion matters in some way, even if it's just to them. Mulder's awesome hair matters to that person.

The OP of this secret has said that their opinion is meaningless. It doesn't matter to them, and shouldn't matter to other people (and other people's opinions on the film don't matter to them, and shouldn't matter to others). If the subject and feeling on the subject don't matter at all, to anyone, even to them, then why...keep sharing it? Why go to the trouble of making a graphic about it, and submitting that graphic to a forum, if they feel that their opinion is completely inconsequential, even to themselves?
