My very unpopular opinion is that frum literature is good. I read whatever I can get my hands on so I'm not saying this as a prude.
I love-hate the s-ex, blood, and gore that is prevalent everywhere else. Frum literature is a safe place for me. Good character development because there can't be much of a plot. Excellent writing. No crutches.
What's your terrible take? Can't beat mine lol.

None of the books I read have sеx, blood, and gore. Where are they “prevalent”?

And most frum literature bores me to death. Sometimes I’ll find historical fiction interesting.

Pretty much everywhere. Only exception I can think of from recent books I've read is the Daniel Silva mossad thrillers.

My unpopular opinion:
I think pom pom hats (especially on newborns) look stupid. There I said it!

I guess the boring factor is what I like about it. Nice and calm.
Interestingly, I find the trend to have at least one historical serial ongoing in every magazine a copout from good writing. It's like if there is enough research there then the story must be amazing. Sometimes it is. I like history but I wish it was served straight at least half the time.

Well, than my unpopular opinion is that I think they look absolutely adorable on practically anyone. They add some funk and spice in life.

I think long peyos and a beard is s*xy. (My husband is litvish so long peyos isn't in my stars, alas!). I also wish that shabbos robes were a thing in my community. I think they're so pretty!

You asked for it. I think putting froufrou-laden headbands on infant girls who are practically bald is ridiculous. It just accentuates the baldness and is about as cute as nezem zahav be'af chazzir.

Haha that may be, but the pom hat has become so ubiquitous I'm starting to think they'll be adding it to the typical newborn stats questionnaire:
How big was your baby at birth?
C-section or v-ginal?
What color pompom?

I'm not comparing as much as I'm being contrarian on the usual "frum lit is so awful". I think it can be quite good without the discomfort that comes with the quality secular literature.
I did say this was my unpopular opinion!

I think pompon bonnets on adults are terrible, it's unpopular online lol (here you'd not see adults with them).
I also think the frummie look is s-xy lol - except the beard at least on most men.

This might mske my popularity levels drop significantly. But regardless, I have a few...
- medications and vaccines aren’t poison and are very important at times but they definitely are not without risks.
- fall wigs with tight beanies ontop look utterly ridiculous to my eyes.
- it’s very important to look good and dress put together.
- a husband must do everything to please his wife in the bedroom but that doesn’t doesn’t mean DW is off the hook...!
-mental health should stop being pushed under the rug. People should start to talk and stop the shame.
- if you have an opinion say it under your (user)name! Stop hiding or we won’t get to know you, Amother!!!!
