Usually when this comes up it’s rooted in the fear that if certain information comes to light it will be used to legitimize the oppression of others, that the descriptive will become proscriptive. It’s an understandable fear imo but I don’t think suppression of inquiry is the right way to handle it.

The problem with that approach is the end result is usually the same. If you try and hide something for fear it might impact a certain group, the fact you hid it is going to be used as proof by the group you were trying to hide it from, that they were right to be suspicious.

It'd be a real shame if someone buried the data.

You are looking way too far into something this...furry? said.

I'm almost certain that they did not have this same thought process.

Additionally, there is NO INSTANCE where reality and truth should be suppressed. Literally none.
