    Like, what value does being anti-LGBT or neutral-but-whiny bring to the table, for example?

    Anti-LGBT, none. But discussions here are increasingly centered on LGBT topics, which just doesn’t concern me one way or another. And yes, I simply avoid them, it’s just popping up in every thread, related or not. I’m not close minded or anything, I just don’t want to have every discussion drift into issues that don’t concern me.

    On the political side, why is it either left, right, or neutral but whiny? There’s quite a large number of neutral and not whiny people out there. My issue is that when I try to point out that some idealistic leftist topics will never work in a material society, I’m being attacked for no reason, so I withdraw from discussions (or don’t even engage anymore at all); thus contributing my share to the growth of the echo chamber and the decline of post volumes.
