The Unpopular Opinionist Presents: Halloween Ends, but the Debate Rages On, What's Your Favorite Halloween Timeline?

Thank you for choosing The Unpopular Opinionist!


I'd like to make a minor correction, it actually wasn't Moustapha Akkad that hand picked Rob Zombie to carry on the Halloween franchise, it was his son, Mallak Akkad. Other than that, I stand by everything you're about to hear in this episode, so if you wanna duke it out about how I feel about the Halloween franchise, you can find me on Instagram, @the_esoteric_espresso_queen, or subscribe to leave listener feedback!

Age Gaps and Appropriateness: A Discussion
In this episode, I talk about age gap relationships, how and when they become problematic, and how sometimes adults can still behave in inappropriate ways towards minors, even when it's not necessarily sexual or romantic in nature. I also touch a bit on grooming, and how it's more than possible to groom without an age gap, let alone when there is a significant one. Please consider subscribing, and leaving listener feedback!

Star Wars and Adoption Trauma: The Path to Empathy for Real Adoptees with Trauma

Welcome to The Unpopular Opinionist on Anchor!


In this episode, I talk about how the way the Jedi raised Anakin Skywalker, is similar to how a lot of adoptees in the real world are raised, and I ask everyone to look at why it's so much easier to have sympathy for fictional dictators like Anakin, than it is the real people who experience the same things he did, but didn't grow up to harm others on purpose. Thanks for listening, don't forget to subscribe so you don't miss next week's episode on age gap relationships, and what we can do to shift the dialogue around whether or not they are appropriate. See you then!

Merry Kramp-mas! - Why Krampus Should Be the Season's Mascot Instead of Santa

In this (short) episode, I talk about why we should be celebrating Krampus during the winter season, instead of Santa. At some point, the Santa legend served a purpose, that the world has since grown out of. Krampus is a much better representation of society's needs in this regard in 2020, listen in for my reasons why!
