It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

People who don’t wear helmets are cowards. What are they so afraid of? Really gonna risk permanent brain damage on the off chance some other loser doesn’t think safety is fashionable?
yup. Same reason people give for not wearing anything but black while night riding.
Yea it's definitely that they're afraid of how it looks rather than not liking the feeling of something that's typically unbreathable covering the part of their body that tends to sweat and release the most heat while doing a moderate physical activity. Nope, definitely just the looks.
Sounds a like “I can’t breathe” during a certain period of time

My dude, I wear helmets because I like my brain in my head. I'm not going to pretend they're comfortable though. Helmets are hot and feel gross when you're sweating. Thinking people choose to not wear them as a fashion choice is like saying people avoid the doctor because they don't like the taste of tongue depressors. It's just a stupid take that entirely fails to factor in reality.
