Would you say the same is true about speaking out regarding Critical Theory or social justice?

I think if people hold secret beliefs in their hearts, and those beliefs have been carefully introspected and are not coming from a place of ignorance or hate, then people need to express them, no matter what they are.

No one ever thinks they’re the villain of the story.

Even if they're wrong, the careful introspection implies good faith, and this should become apparent by how a person talks about their beliefs, especially wrt to their acknowledgements about other peoples beliefs and feelings.

I think the risks of that person being or becoming a villain are quite low, and certainly not high enough to justify self censorship (not saying you were suggesting that).
