gollark: What are you responding to here?
gollark: Yes, this is mostly the sort of "take things as personal attacks" thing I don't like.
gollark: If you can't discuss things like that without interpreting it as toxic or a personal attack or something, 🐝 you somewhat.
gollark: I don't see how that is "necessarily toxic".
gollark: I suspect that it's because we discuss a wide range of stuff, which is an effect a hypothetical ControversialEsolangs would lack.
