Is it OK if I make a thread discussing Peter Singer?

I'm afraid Peter Singer is too based for OT, thus discussing his philosophy may get me banned.
Test. Which of these words are bannable: abortion, veganism, infanticide, zoophilia.

I really like how Singer challenges global distribution morals and his commitments to animal rights. Ethics is as important now as ever!

Peter Singer was part of our curriculum at university.

Are we only going to learn about philosophers we agree with 100% ?
If so, then goodbye to all higher learning and our Western Civilization.

His 'Effective Altruism' is for real. The man knows how to donate !

I looked it up, and yeah, from what I gather, he promotes that filth.

Sadly, nothing shocks me about this world and the people in it anymore.

I don't care how good of a philosopher he claims to be; I would never align myself with anyone who promoted abortion, eugenics, or zoophilia.

It baffles me how anyone could claim to be for animal rights, yet they want to advocate for sexually abusing animals. It makes zero sense.

You gave an excellent response and it went ignored...

I'm starting to think it is not a good idea to discuss Singer at Off-Topic Or phiilosophy for that matter.

It would probably go like this.

"Nice argument, but have you considered that Singer supports zoophilia?"

"Nice argument, but have you considered that Kant was racist?"

"Nice argument, but have you considered that Nietzsche was a mysogynist?"

"Nice argument, but have you considered that Heidegger was a nazi?"

Ad hominem, poisoning the well.

People seem to think that if you're not a saint, then you have nothing worthwhile to say regardless of the soundness of your arguments. Moralist logic.

I am sorry, but I personally don't wish to try and glean any little tidbits from what someone who supports zoophilia and abortion says.
