Yeah, I got modded for trolling on this board some time back for asking a question regarding side effects of the vaccines. And also for making remarks that were deemed "politically incorrect". So I just stopped discussing those kinds of topics here. Same thing with Reddit. Depending on what sub you go to, your opinion gets downvoted unless 51% or more people agree with you.

But here's the thing though: you can say "I got modded for just asking questions" and have it technically sound true to anybody that didn't read the original post.

But often times, we pry a little further (or in some cases, even get receipts) and find out that "just asking questions" was really "playing Devil's Advocate with blatant and harmful misinformation and continuing to do so long after all of my points were debunked" a.k.a. trolling. Like, we had a guy on here literally throw out the "genetic superiority" argument word for word and had people call him out for it. But let him tell it and he'll probably describe it to you as "CE harassed me for saying that some people are better at certain things than others". It is particularly common among the right for folks to victimize themselves after people call them out for really bad takes.
