SUBMISSIONS REOPEN!
THE HOTTEST TAKE TOURNAMENT!
(header art by @haycoat and @canadianlucifer <3)
(We also punt people into the Sun at @would-you-punt-them if you've got the bloodlust)
I feel as if this tournament must exist somewhere, but I looked for two hours and couldn't find it. So I've decided to be the change I want to see in the world and subject all of you to it.
Do you have a red-hot take that you know most people wouldn't agree with, but are still absolutely willing to fight for it? This is the place where it belongs. Let's pit them against each other in a fight for validation!
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:
All submissions are anonymous.
Your take can be about literally anything at all, as long as you feel the vast majority of people would disagree. Even though you're right. And they're just afraid to admit it.
Basically, if it's a hill you're willing die on - even if you have to do it alone - then it belongs right here.
Oh, and it kinda goes without saying, but terfs and bigots stay away.
You can submit all your scalding takes right here:
Submit an unpopular opinion
Feel free to submit as many as you like!
ABOUT ME:
I was once a beautiful all-powerful elven sorcerer princess, feared and loved by all – then one day I was run over by a horse cart and was transported to another world where I was reborn as a failgirl weaboo shut-in with no friends.
However! I may have been stripped of my dark powers that once spread terror across the world, but it turns out exposing people to Tumblr hot takes is the next best thing.
(Also, "OP" refers to the submitter of a take, "mod" refers to me)
HOW SUBMISSIONS WILL BE CHOSEN (updated):
Once all the submissions have been collected, we'll run preliminaries for the most contested topics, and most controversial takes will qualify for the bracket.
Then, I'll take all the remaining submissions and put them into a randomiser. It will be in fate's hands after that.
Whatever submissions the randomiser picks, no matter what they are, will fill out the rest of the bracket. No re-rolls.
After that, all of the matchups will be shuffled again, so the resulting bracket will be completely random. No seeding, no creator bias.
All we can do then is pray.
RULES FOR VOTING (updated, edited on request x3):
Everyone will vote for the take they most agree with, and the most validated take will advance.
The last take standing will then graduate from "hot take" and be crowned MOST OBJECTIVE FACT OF ALL TIME FOREVER.
Please do vote and reblog if you can! It does really help spread the word!
Propaganda is encouraged - fight for your cause!

RULES UPDATE: VOTING
So, originally the plan was to have people vote on the most valid take, but the loser with the least support would be the one to advance.
The idea was that the last take standing, having received the fewest votes in every round, must be the most red-hot take.
But I've had a change of heart.
Instead, we're going to take these boiling takes and by majority, declare one of them to be the actual truth, no matter what that turns out to be.
So, the question will remain the same - 'which take is the most valid' - but now the option voted most valid will advance.
Then, the overall winner will be elevated from "hot take" and will be declared the most objective fact of all time forever.
The rule about voting remains the same - if you see the poll, even on accident, you are morally obligated to vote - no pretending you didn't see it.
There is one more rule. Whatever the winner of the poll is, no matter how much you hate it, you must embrace it as the truth.
It doesn't matter how much you hate pineapple - if pineapple on pizza ends up sweeping the whole thing, you're just going to have to accept the fact that it's actually the best topping for the rest of your life.
(I'll update the pinned post with this new info.)
