There’s a huge amount wrong with that. It discourages participation because it means people are too scared they might make a mistake. Ridicule is designed to silence and prevent constructive dialog, and achieves nothing.

And I don’t see why conforming to society is always a great idea. Certain aspects of society needs people to conform, but most things are, when boiled down, not necessary.

Ridicule is designed to prevent nails from sticking out, nothing more.

There is so much wrong with your statement.

I totally agree with that! We have enough evidence that ridicule etc. cause detrimental mental health effects.
