Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

    Yes but I like the cannibalism example because it usually does a good job bringing forward the intuition I’m getting at with the hot take.

    Another one is robot child sex worker—not hurting anyone directly (unless you believe in robot rights) but I think most people would deem it a problem. Looks like a duck sounds like a duck sort of thing.

      But fake meats don’t hurt anyone at all, not even indirectly. With your other examples one could argue that it’s desensitizing to the real thing. But eating seitan instead of meat is a conscious decision that probably even reinforces how unethical it was to begin with to kill an animal for this.
