It is clear that shorting calls is "riskier" than shorting puts (all other things equal). Why is not actually riskier?

I’d rather be short calls on indices than short puts on indices (because an index almost never rallies 40% in two months but it can drop 40% in two months)
I do agree that short puts is a better long term play, on account of stocks only go up, but it’s short term riskier.

no, you're either a bull or a bear always, no one can ever change your team. It's like when you select if you're a boy or a girl character when you start a game of Pokemon.

“Short puts or short calls” is kind of a dumb argument anyway because you never actually have to choose between two options in isolation — you have a portfolio, different risk preferences, it depends on the vol surface and maturity, etc etc. ANYWAY.

It is very hard to have a reasonable conversation about options on the internet. You can argue many things here. Naked shorting pre-approval-announcement biotech calls looks different to overwriting SPY.
