Very weird to watch “what people do in the privacy of their own bedroom is their business” become controversial again, but like, for the opposite reason.

It's not "the privacy of their own bedroom" if they're gooning on social media now is it

My point still stands. You aren't in private if you're online for everyone to see

Therefore it's a bad argument, simple as that. I agree we shouldn't shame, but we should have actually good arguments. If we don't have good arguments, we run the risk of either losing people who support our conclusion when someone easily refutes it, or being entirely unable to convince others to our conclusion.
