EDIT: Don't bother reporting people criticizing others for not wearing a helmet. It's not victim blaming, just like criticizing someone for not wearing a seatbelt isn't victim blaming.

Wear your helmets people: Of course nobody deserves to get hit by a car but the reality is people are getting hit by cars.

My dude, I wear helmets because I like my brain in my head. I'm not going to pretend they're comfortable though. Helmets are hot and feel gross when you're sweating. Thinking people choose to not wear them as a fashion choice is like saying people avoid the doctor because they don't like the taste of tongue depressors. It's just a stupid take that entirely fails to factor in reality.

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
