It's not hate, it's common sense.

Why do some people (especially online) consider anyone questioning or speaking out against topics which are possibly sensitive or trending at present automatically assume you're hateful?

Hate is such a strong word and thrown around so much. Noone should be labelled hateful or anything for showing genuine concern for minors or voicing an opinion.

Those resorting to insults because not everyone agrees with them evidently feel threatened, are questioning themselves or simply aren't mature enough to discuss the topics in hand.

And some may be defending abhorrent things because they are at the least in some way complicit in the sensitive/controversial things (like harming children) and are trying to “normalize “ the horrible behavior

@wunderluv Yep, that's the really scary thing about it!

@Lanie78 yes, there are also the many who have been brainwashed and drawn into a way of thinking (well not really ‘thinking’ but programming) that has been done to them over the course of their whole lives. These people don’t even know that they have been rendered literally incapable of thinking critically about anything much less the world or the universe itself.
Or perhaps to ponder the concept of the true meaning of their own lives or that of humanity. They’ve been “zombified” by YouTube, Video Games, social media etc. ok I could so go on! Heck, I could likely write a book here (but I won’t-Aren’t you relieved? Lol)

Very true, lots of these people are probably on Reddit all day on a sunny day, they're a bit on the spectrum so by joining in with a certain ideology they feel social validation they crave.

I will speak out against anyone who compares the LGBTQ+ to pedophilia!

They're two separate topics!

Because labeling is all they have to refute what they know deep down to be true.

Exactly! We all have different thoughts and opinions.

They do that when they don’t have a proper argument with which to defend their position, so they need to have your opinion shut down.

there are Zero non-verbal cues happening, they can't telk your intent

But see, that's the thing. Nobody who uses that bullshit hand-wringing "ThInK oF tHe cHiLdReN!" argument is actually thinking of the children. You people have been using the same argument since the gay panic of the seventies, and it didn't hold water then.
