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

But I mean if we wanna do the childhood explanation thing maybe it's cause I was raised a fundamentalist Christian who believed evolution was a lie and gays were sinful, and questioning every single one of my deepest moral intuitions was essential for getting out of there.

But still, those questions didn't make me angry, I was still drawn to the charged questions about whether women should be allowed to vote or whatever then, and I'm drawn to the charged questions of this culture now. And - whyyy do they make ppl so upset?

Whether or not it's OK to hire a prostitute for a child isn't a "charged issue" - the question is outrageous precisely because there is no controversy. If you're being deliberately outrageous, you know, whatever, have fun - but you can't plead ignorance.

Replying to

There is clearly controversy based on the response I got.

Well no I assume that people who say it is OK to hire a prostitute for a child are trolling, just as I assumed you were trolling with the question. If you genuinely thought the question was "open", that puts a different colour on it.
