That’s an unfortunately side-effect of living in a particularly politically charged time. The internet in particular is an awful place to explore these topics as an outsider, because you can’t read almost any kind of context, tone, or intention.

Think of it like getting into cigars online (or any community). You join a cigar forum and lurk a whole bunch, and only after you’ve learned how things work do you try to make your own post. You don’t just sign up and be like “Cohibas suck, and Cubans are overrated” - you’ve got to build up some goodwill first, lol
