The issue nobody wants to address

It only promotes toxicity in the community in my opinion.

How? That's always the argument, but it's never based on anything more than "well just my opinion" or "I met someone who was mean once."

Parsers aren't unexplored territory. Jerks use them in jerkish ways, but they don't make people who aren't jerks into jerks. It just doesn't happen. It's a completely unfounded fear.
