    Coming across this, a bit of advice?

    There’s two mistakes you’re making.

    The first is bothering to try and discuss the subject online when there’s another wave of moral panic around the subject.

    The second is in engaging with people after the first exchange shows they’re not on the same wavelength.

    It’s one of those things where you’ve got good points, but they aren’t points people will stop and think about at all. They’ll just keep having emotional reactions because that’s how they are. That’s how most people approach life. They feel something, and react. Once that happens, there’s no reason to reevaluate the situation because there’s an assumption of being right because they feel it.

    Doesn’t help that you let yourself fall into the slapfight really fast, but that’s not really cogent to how it starts.
