The common complaint I hear is that if someone is in a minority opinion we should ignore it instead of opposing it because there is a perception of "bullying". This is not okay. Without challenging problematic commentary, they are left to think it's acceptable and spread the commentary to more impressionable people more often. You're not arguing or disputing for the person set in their ways, you're doing so for the audience. If troubling ideals are left without a response, the audience will more likely accept it.

Just cause it's an unpopular opinion and many think so, doesnt mean that it's not still problematic and needs refuting. Telling people they shouldn't comment because others already have just silences more people. Every voice is valid, even if it's similar in nature to others already spoken.


In this case it's just silly celeb news but it has underlying problems
