Normalisation in culture has effects on how people behave in the real world. Look at Japan’s sexualization of women and minors, and how they have huge problems with sexual assault.

This serves the purpose of a metric to filter out trolls or bad-faith actors, whilst making “karma farming” pointless.
How dare you raise that abomination of “coffee” to this honourable Australian’s name.
