I quite dislike this style of writing titles. "Stop something". I seems very popular. It sounds very commanding and "I am definitely right about this". Why not write "In favour of something" or "A case against something" or something like that?

Why not be direct and advocate clearly for the position that you prefer? You don’t have agree with their position, but asking them to water down their words is weak sauce.

		Oh please. Public discussion is always a balance, and to answer your question: if the content is nuanced, the title should be too. If they mismatch some of your audience is unnecessarily put off. Ill add: I am personally put off in the same way your parent comment is, because hard stances are usually wrong, and I like a bit of nuance in my life.

Our interest in a statement is piqued more when it challenges our worldview. It's impolite to a lot of people, but the attention economy rewards it.

Edit: Looks like they changed the title to be less provocative. Good for them

Not as bad as "considered harmful" imo but still mildly toxic. I think the point is taking one rando's personal preferences (I'd prefer we swap the order of A and B) and trying to make it sound like something more than it is.

I came to say something similar.

I don't like conventional commits much neither, but let the people use whatever they want!

There is a meme that inspires some of this genre of title, fwiw

Because you don't get attention if you don't write deliberately inflammatory content.
