He was a boy, he was a boy.Can I make it any more obvious?"
If the lyrics was this, homophobes would be up in arms about it saying it brainwashes children into thinking the gay is normal. Truth is, the version that actually exists is brainwashing children into thinking the straight is normal, and furthermore that platonic relationships between members of opposite genders don't exist.
To be fair Plato said that earth and water elements want to go down in order to be near the other earth and water. That's his explanation for the phenomena of gravity. Newton's explanation is rather less intuitive and requires an understanding of orbital mechanics.
Bring in a bunch of atheists and give them a placebo painkiller that they know is a placebo. Then put their hands in ice water and record the pain response. Send the control group home, but ask the experimental group to believe as hard as they can in the Flying Spaghetti Monster for the next week. A week later, give everyone another placebo painkiller and another pain test. Hypothesis: intentional religiosity increases the strength of the placebo effect.

Users cannot vote in a community that has banned them. If the mod wants to restrict voting only to people who vote in good faith, that's their prerogative. It's probably a good idea, it prevents downvote spam from bots and the like. When you have a community that has very different values from /all, maybe kicking the /all people who vote against the sub's values out is good. Voting is participation.
Like 60% of internet speak, "thicc" did indeed originate with AAVE.
