MODERATORS
"debate me" kids are another stereotype on the internet though. The idea that ideas should be entertained and discussed for the sake of it and come without implications attached is just another form of edgyness. It's another thing that often goes away with age or with touching grass. I know because I was one of them. Now I understand that the fact itself of discussing something publicly has moral implications.
Yea, I agree. That's why I used the word discuss because when the debate-bro mindset kicks in you're definitely dealing with an angsty teenager (also the constant invocation of logical fallacies).
