This is an honest question, please treat it as such. What is toxic about the notion that some things just aren't for everyone and that's probably ok? Is there a moral or ethical requirement to pitch to the lowest common denominator and if so why?


There's nothing toxic about acknowledging that some things are not for everyone.

I'm specifically interested in the ability to share your ideas with your peers in a way that resists tampering by third parties, provided you're willing to put in a reasonable amount of work re: learning to do so.

If we let that be the mark of a privileged class, then we might as well go back to the middle ages.
