Shitty opinions are one of those things that "I know it when I see it", and I wish I had a better way of explaining to people why their opinions are shitty. What makes an opinion shitty? Is it when it's formed without sufficient information or experience? When it's fringe? When it's formed on the basis of pop culture rather than... what else? I don't even know what questions to ask. I guess I can just ask you directly: What do you think makes an opinion a shitty opinion?
