While I agree unpopular opinions often get shouted down, i think people often forget that sometimes what they consider an “unpopular opinion” is unpopular because it’s abhorrent or just wrong lol. Not every comment/idea is valid and deserves to be entertained.
Being anti-vax is unpopular in a lot of circles and I am perfectly happy with seeing those comments downvoted/ removed and the users banned.
I understand what you’re trying to do, but I am not interested in playing this game.
On a sidenote: I saw Oppenheimer recently as well, but let’s not shoehorn quantum physics into a discussion to make your point seem more elevated than it is.
Oooo, but you won’t put it into words? Interesting. What exactly do you understand?
“I am not interested in playing this game.”
Then why did you make a comment leading to this conversation? That’s kind of the point of this protocol/platform… If you comment, people can comment back, even people with views that challenge yours. Gasp

On a sidenote: I haven’t seen it. I used my time in school to learn what they were teaching… This leads to an interesting question though, do you always pretend you know what people think and know without giving them a chance to express it themselves?

Why banned? The downvotes are definitely deserved but why TF ban them on a sub about a topic not related to vaccines or medicine?
Why are you changing the parameters of my example lol
