When presenting information that is controversial or detrimental to one's worldview, people tend to react negatively. Is critiquing the red pill on moral argument and character assessment productive or fair?

I believe that when somebody says something controversial or damaging to other people's current world view, people tend to have a negative visceral reaction and have a tendency to immediately go into ego-protect mode, dismiss it as impossible, insult the person for suggesting the ideas, attempt to censor or discredit the speaker, and avoid considering the idea on merit.

This reaction makes no comment on the veracity of the new information being presented however it outwardly stifles the ability to analyze topics by introducing shame and fear of social ostracization by those engaging in the conversation.

Example: I have been posting very basic questions regarding evolution, in an attempt to find common ground and a framework upon which both parties can agree for future debates. Despite this, my brand new throwaway has -36 karma from one day on this sub.

Example 2: Red pill school is referred to as "rapepillschool" quite a bit on thebluepill. Perhaps as a joke, but the implications are impossible to ignore. By engaging in a discussion regarding an unpopular topic, people have attempted to shame him and use these tactics and label him a rapist. Shame and fear of social ostracization. There is a mention that his hypothetical definition of consent does not match today's definition, but rarely a mention that red pill school has not documented any real-life case that could be construed as rape by either today's definition, nor his hypothetical one. This is purely a shame tactic and can be seen as nothing else.

This, I believe, is why such outlandish things are allowed on the red pill. To avoid stifling innovation.

I believe that people's attempt at shaming red pill men for what's written on the red pill is an example of this very reaction, and can only serve to stifle discussion, both good and bad.

Topic of debate: Is critiquing the red pill on moral argument and character assessment productive or fair? Is there a way to open a forum that honestly discusses unpopular topics without the pitfalls commonly associated with the red pill?
