I think the point is these spaces and aesthetics have a genealogy and ignoring it is naive. Maybe not everyone knows that but it seems wrong to let that exonerate them more than partially.

I think my null is "leave people alone jfc" and searching spaces for Wrongdoers without clear need is just cop mindset

I think
@vgr had a take on this -- basically that the outgroup is out & therefore it's a waste of cycles/bits to simulate them accurately or distinguish between them? Like alpha beta pruning for your dunbar circle. -
Which is probably a good *explanation* but IMO not a good *excuse* because these days everybody's lives are determined in large part by members of meaningfully-different outgroups. For strategic reasons we need to 'know the enemy' & our impulse not to is deadly online.
