People don't often grasp the Paradox of Tolerance and how it applies to others.
If your 'opinion' is hateful rhetoric that trends towards intolerant towards the views of others, it is outside of the circle and is not/can not be tolerated.
It's not an echo chamber to say "we don't argue about the existence/rights of lgbtq+ folks" in regular spaces. This isn't the place for the conversation, and even if it was, the conversation has already been had. If you want that anachronistic shit in your own spaces, sure, but here in the modern world we've already come together in belief that that hokey old world shit doesn't play.

Barbarians or not, a lottery for life is a lottery and that's too fucked
From the source you listed (because I have heard of the magazines but didn't look much into it ag the time) the author posits that the two books that had pictures of children were a gift from a fan, and the second he includes an inscription from Jackson discussing the joy of youth he's seeing in the images and that he's sad he didn't have that kind of childhood. Which, weird, but not damning to me.
But I couldn't find a credible source for the "showing children pornography" portion you mentioned, do you have anything for that? My impression so far has been 'weird dude, if I knew him I still probably wouldn't let my kids sleep over but I wouldn't let my kid sleep over ANY adult's house, especially not a celebrity'.
G-g-g-g-g-yeah!
No it's a joke and a trend from a video on tiktok. Why do people, especially here lately, jump to hate on anything 'TikTok' or 'new' from the younger generations? We all had our stupidity, shit, people STILL staple bread on trees
Please and thank you don't violate barriers. It does not allow someone into your space, you don't have to give anything of yourself to say them, and if you're a good person you probably mean them. A better example for what you're looking for would be handshakes. It's common in most western cultures at several social functions, and it can be considered rather rude to refuse one, it got a lot of folks angry during covid apparently. That's where two parties acknowledge the social bindings that call for a physical touch establishing a mutual respect. I never miss saying a please and thank you, but best believe I'm still doing the 'covid shrug' when I turn down handshakes.
So, you'd tell your child that "yes, you have autonomy in this, but your feelings regarding your need for personal space matter less than your grandmother's want for a hug" is what I'm gathering? Do you educate your mother on the child's wants/needs? There's a reason why people are educated that, as far as physical touch is concerned, nobody else's feelings should be taken into account. If someone can't love a child without hugs, then I don't think they really understand the concept or application of love.
I'm not saying this is your case, the next bit is an extreme but important to the overall argument, I think. People have identified that exact thinking pattern in why they didn't report sexual assault from a family member. Because they weren't taught how to properly say no and why the right to refuse touch is important, it was that much easier to abuse them.
Wait hold on, Californian's wouldn't go for it, but splitting them up into two blue states and one red state grabs 4 new Democrat senators (maybe) and 2 republican ones, allows California Republicans the chance to build the state they say they dream about, and gives the rest of the rural US a NEW California to bitch about
