With my writing style, I try to support a norm of writing directly and literally. I avoid adding value signals to convince readers I share their values, and as a reader I require no such signals of writers. https://www.overcomingbias.com/2018/05/skip-value-signals.html …
In a public forum that choice is not yours to make unilaterally, so you have to accept risk of provoking violent reactions from people you may not want to engage, and possibly bear some responsibility for outcomes. Especially in all-have-stakes topics. Popularity is orthogonal.

That’s a dangerous justification that can and has been used to dehumanize and oppress people with legitimate stakes in a conversation. Often bigger stakes than the people talking. If you talk sex redistribution and women object angrily, engagement, not contempt, is the answer.
