I swear to god (hah), at least 20% of the posts on this website are posts making good points, but in the most hostile way possible.

Why are you surprised that some people reacted defensively to this post? You just stereotyped a bunch of people as crybaby wojacks, if you had instead made a short paragraph of text explaining your feelings, there would be way more people who would be willing to discuss the topic rationally.

I think their approach produced exactly the right results to be honest.

People are talking. There are 140+ comments and a huge amount of it is very good. People will be learning from it.

The thread that actually gets people to engage and talk is more effective learning material than the thread that people gloss over and don't engage with because it's entirely reasonable and doesn't rustle any jimmies or have the real guts to properly challenge anyone's position. Challenging other people's positions inspires them to defend it, and what comes from challenge and defence is the valuable good stuff.

There are ways to challenge people's beliefs gently, there doesn't have to be a shitstorm on this website whenever someone wants to discuss a controversial topic.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.
