Weekly SO

 Strong Opinion that is. 

Which this week is, that we seem to have forgotten the meaning of the word itself.

These days we cannot have an opinion. I mean, I voiced my opinion that I do not care for a certain designer's pieces, and boy, did I got the heat and the cold of it. I was mysogonist, hateful, racist, wanting to tear down a succesful woman, and a host of other things.

Not liking something, or someone's work (taste) does not mean I HATE him/her. Nor do I envy him/her, or his/her succes. 

There is the saying of agreeing in not to agree, agreeing to have different taste, opinion, etc, without screaming at each other. 

I don't exactly know where this is coming from, but "cancel culture" is a symptome of it (and not the cause), where people get cancelled for voicing an opinion. Where is the freedom of speach these days, the freedom of thought?
