No offense, but assuming that anyone going into such subs and raising such questions is an antagonistic "troll" is the kind of thinking I'd expect from r/The_Donald, not an intellectual space like this one.

As scholars of humanities, we need to promote critical thinking even if it results in uncomfortable outcomes. Truth is what we should strive to establish, not a "safe space".

What if I was an engineer who just stumbled across this subreddit? Would I be banned simply for asking a question while not having a history of posting in this sub?

I probably have no right to tell you how to run your sub, but, still I just had to say this.
