I more wanted to add my thoughts on exposure and discussion of difficult ideas and that people getting that wrong and being harmful being the issue, not approaching these issues at all.
I find far too often this situation goes something like this:
"This is problematic"
"Its free speech"
"Yeah but its shit"
"Stop trying to take free speech away"
"No I want to keep free speech, just have people be more responsible with it"
And it grinds my gears to no end that this style of discussion. Keeps. Happening. All. The. Time.
And that's just the "on topic" issue I have. The other issues that crop up, like saying that inherent unchangeable biological traits like race and chosen ideology’s that can be changed at any time like political stances are both on the same level for criticism baffles and angers me.
Overall, I just want people to look at what makes them upset, why other people being upset makes them upset, and try not to fall into rhetorical traps and analyse these problems in the constituent parts and the whole, not just one or the other and then making grossly inaccurate comparisons.
