CMV: Speaking about homosexuality doesn't mean grooming or speaking about sex. And the same goes for other queer identities

Which could even include making someone actually go FURTHER into their view.

Be careful with that one. I would have thought so too, but the mods dinged me for delta abuse because a commenter showed me that one of the qualifiers I included in my view was based on an oversight on my part. It was a very thoughtful comment and introduced an angle that I hadn't thought of, and it enriched my understanding of the issue.

Anyway, after a discussion with one of the mods, they basically said that no, nuanced, complex views are not a good fit for CMV - that's CMV is best for high school-level hot takes that can be shot down with a simple counter example. I'm paraphrasing, but not much - that was the gist of it.

Stuff like that is why I lurk here but don't invest much effort these days.
