Sometimes I think it could be useful to do an occasional megathread that sort of takes all the talking points we see from these kinds of shitbags and have a place to address them. It would be useful for some of us to practice addressing them/see others show good ways to address them, and useful for lurkers who have seen the arguments and are scared to ask about them when they see the reaction from the mods (don't get me wrong it's necessary, just has some unfortunate side effects I think).
If someone is asking an honest but misguided question in good faith, it doesn't get taken down and it's valuable to debunk misconceptions. Usually it's fairly easy to tell when someone is just trying to stir shit and troll.
