When asking "unpopular" questions on SO I usually include a disclaimer along the lines that I want to know the answer for education purposes and any answer that is not specifically addressing the question at hand will get downvoted and never accepted. This works to some extent.
In the end, I stopped asking questions on SO because dealing with this kind of behaviour was too tiresome. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks like that
