Who’s holding anyone back, especially in something so morally neutral as this? Why do you think the unreasonable take is the common one? And if it were, who would you ask for it to be ‘normalized’? Shouldn’t we do what we think is right and avoid what we think is wrong regardless of whether it’s popular or not? Are people just afraid of calling out idiocy? You can do it kindly. Or are they afraid of confrontation with the stupids? And it’s always something shockingly silly like ‘normalize kissing your kids goodnight’ or ‘normalize talking about trauma with your parents who traumatized you’ like who the f told you not to and why would you ever take that person seriously?!

Oh, so you have the same understanding as everyone else here, you just worded it a bit odd. All good.
