Gonna have to make a mute discussion bingo at some point. The words "hugbox" and "echo chamber" are just code for "LET ME SHOVE MY SHITTY OPINIONS DOWN YOUR THROAT AGAINST YOUR WILL, DAMMIT." Yes, I said shitty opinions. Contrary to what your douche freshman philosophy professor with a ponytail told you, you can, in fact, have a shitty opinion, and I can, in fact, choose to ignore it. I'd rather be hugged in a box that echos like a giant ass chamber then be stabbed by a piece of shit racist. Also it's really easy to argue for "discussion and logic and reason" when you're a straight white dude and nobody will argue that your existence is invalid or that women deserve it.
