    Theres no reason to talk about controversial topics if all you get is downvotes its actively harmful to discussion

      But I wanna do one of those bits where I just say disgusting stuff but it's just a bit because I'm going for the low score.

        Oh no, i'll have to defend my position or accept feedback if people downvote! How will people know to take my 100% true and unbaised points on why to vote for an actual war criminal seriously if they just see downbears?????????

      It's literally antithetical to "discussion." Aiming for upvotes creates a groupthink bubble and then there's no bad opinions to throw against the wall to challenge preconceived notions. For example, there are plenty of people here who are voting for Biden because they hate Trump that much and they feel scared to talk about it even though it's an actual legitimate position.
