This weekly roundup thread is intended for all culture war posts. 'Culture war' is vaguely defined, but it basically means controversial issues that fall along set tribal lines. Arguments over culture war issues generate a lot of heat and little light, and few deeply entrenched people ever change their minds. This thread is for voicing opinions and analyzing the state of the discussion while trying to optimize for light over heat.
Optimistically, we think that engaging with people you disagree with is worth your time, and so is being nice! Pessimistically, there are many dynamics that can lead discussions on Culture War topics to become unproductive. There's a human tendency to divide along tribal lines, praising your ingroup and vilifying your outgroup - and if you think you find it easy to criticize your ingroup, then it may be that your outgroup is not who you think it is. Extremists with opposing positions can feed off each other, highlighting each other's worst points to justify their own angry rhetoric, which becomes in turn a new example of bad behavior for the other side to highlight.
We would like to avoid these negative dynamics. Accordingly, we ask that you do not use this thread for waging the Culture War. Examples of waging the Culture War:
-
Shaming.
-
Attempting to 'build consensus' or enforce ideological conformity.
-
Making sweeping generalizations to vilify a group you dislike.
-
Recruiting for a cause.
-
Posting links that could be summarized as 'Boo outgroup!' Basically, if your content is 'Can you believe what Those People did this week?' then you should either refrain from posting, or do some very patient work to contextualize and/or steel-man the relevant viewpoint.
In general, you should argue to understand, not to win. This thread is not territory to be claimed by one group or another; indeed, the aim is to have many different viewpoints represented here. Thus, we also ask that you follow some guidelines:
-
Speak plainly. Avoid sarcasm and mockery. When disagreeing with someone, state your objections explicitly.
-
Be as precise and charitable as you can. Don't paraphrase unflatteringly.
-
Don't imply that someone said something they did not say, even if you think it follows from what they said.
-
Write like everyone is reading and you want them to be included in the discussion.
On an ad hoc basis, the mods will try to compile a list of the best posts/comments from the previous week, posted in Quality Contribution threads and archived at /r/TheThread. You may nominate a comment for this list by clicking on 'report' at the bottom of the post and typing 'Actually a quality contribution' as the report reason.

Notes -
Speaking personally, neither you or any of the people you listed were who I've had in mind. I'll humbly decline to ping people at a third party's demand, but feel free to do so yourself if you find it warranted. I was referring to posts like this, this, or this. It seems to me comments like this are frequent, and having had them pointed out to me, I notice them quite a bit now. It also seems to me that they used to be a whole lot more frequent in the old days, and I consider the decline in frequency to be an unequivocally good thing and would like to maintain it.
If you like, I'll start collecting them when I come across them; it's entirely possible that their prominence is an example of whatever bias it is that makes you notice things you've previously noticed. On the other hand, there's also the bias where people pay more attention to things they disagree with strongly, and less attention to things they disagree with less strongly, which I've noticed cashes out here in the sharpest hunting for holes in arguments coming from people on the opposite side, and the laxest treatment coming from people, roughly speaking, on the same side.
In any case, this thread has convinced me that labeling the pattern of using HBD as a fully-general explanation for any and all behavior "HBD" is a bad idea, for what it's worth. It clearly rings up people I had no intention of ringing.
Thank you for explaining your perspective concretely, this clears things up.
