I genuinely do not understand the moral outrage that people express at some of my lines of questioning. It's a bit novel each time, and to some extent I'm drawn to figuring out which kinds of question that trigger the outrage. But it seems so inconsistent!

Some qs I predict people would get upset about, but they don't at all. Others seem extremely innocuous or basic questions I assume everyone asks and then I get slapped upside the head with surprise anger. I've learned ppl are touchy about trans, pedos, bestiality, and autists.

and like, it is intuitive to me that those questions are more charged, but not intuitive to me that they're anger inducing. I've sort of assumed the charged areas are the most interesting places to ask qs and some part of me doesn't get why everyone else doesn't feel the same

I don't think I've ever come across a single question I think shouldn't be asked, or made me upset. this concept is foreign to me.

the outrage is a fear response triggered by lines of questioning that ultimately reduce down to a perceived threat to someone's sense of self

Fake outrage culture is one of the worse aspects of the culture wars - on both sides

cause not easy to distinguish hypothetical questions from the "what should be done" type of questions

You are sensational. There is very few people like this. Don't change.

Really? Not a single question has caused upset? Even one where deep down you know the answer to leads to a really bad outcome? Ok - thought exercise: {action} is wrong; do you agree? True or False, one of the answers leads to {action}x100; should this question be asked?

Then the state schooling system has clearly failed at its mission of turning you into mindless rule following statist.
