Kind of just felt like sparking a discussion thread and thought this might be an interesting one.

For me personally, one of, if not, my most controversial takes is that I will associate with anyone. Regardless of their opinions of if I personally find their opinions to be disgusting or revolting. I will give anyone respect who gives me respect.

Another one which I’ve expressed here before is that I do not think someone simply being a pedophile automatically makes them a pure evil child abuser who can’t help but rape every child that they see. And that some people can have this affliction and not actively seek out abusive content or attempt abusive actions.

My opinions on loli/shota/cub are also fairly controversial, but I imagine those are mostly shared by the majority of people here.

That should probably get us started pretty good!

So, What’s a controversial take that you have that most people would disagree with?

Feel free to have peaceful discussions about other people’s responses.

    When a mind believes it’s the opposite gender of the body it inhabits - that seems like the textbook definition of a mental illness.

    I’m not saying such people should be discriminated against, hated, threatened, or shamed in any way - I think they should be loved and supported just like anyone with any other mental illness. But somehow it’s basically a hate crime now to call it that, and everyone is pretending it’s the same as a sexual preference like being lesbian/gay/bi.

    LGB is simply a spectrum for who you’re attracted to - T is a complete disconnect between your body and ego. If that isn’t a ‘mental illness’ then those words have no meaning.
