So, as a participant in this, I can either limit my comments to the currently accepted social constraints, or I can run my reputation, exempting me from advancing my career or interests.

The first one prevents us from learning anything interesting and from moving society forward. The second is self defeating.

I feel like immutability has become an idea, much like libertarianism, that captures our interest but in practice is ruinous. The sooner we can shed our fascination with it the better.
