Unpopular opinions go here

For Celsius vs. Fahrenheit, I'd say it does. I can feel and appreciate the difference between two temperatures expressed in Fahrenheit that are the same temperature, officially, in Celsius.

they are obviously not the same in Celsius, they just have decimals… basically what you are saying is you can feel the difference of one degree Fahrenheit, because if you could only feel two, then you also can feel one degree Celsius

I trust, for consistency's sake, that you bear the same hatred for """Tolkieneqsue""" fantasy, """medieval""" fantasy, and other popular but ultimately shallow genres/aesthetics?

If not, singling out steampunk would be, at the very least, kind of weird.

The biggest problem with "steampunk" is that it is, generally speaking, not at all "punk." it isn't about how technology oppresses people or how those people fight back. It is about elves with steam powered jetpacks, or whatever.

Irrational consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds. I don't feel the same about fantasy as a genre. The only nice thing I can say about Steampunk is that some of the cosplayers put together some great looking outfits.

The Rolling Stones are the worlds most overrated cover band.

Some people play rpgs and wargames with traditional rules because they like the games, not because they have not been exposed to alternatives.

Movies are as good as they’ve ever been, it’s film criticism that’s garbage these days.
Listing things you didn’t understand about a film isn’t criticism.

PvP is fun, generates great stories, and is often the outcome of good roleplaying.

I hope you're trying to be funny.

Singling out Steampunk is the opposite of weird.

Every set of rules for good worldbuilding is wrong.

Except one. The Grain into Gold series is rather good. But largely ignored by everyone.

There is very little good world-building out there, and most good ones are from the Golden Era.

Third party splatbooks are seldom, if ever, an asset.
