This is part of the problem these days; throughout 99.9% of human history, the social consequences for saying something people didn't like were self-limiting and relatively minor. In the digital age though, the entire world has a feedback platform to tell someone what they think, so there can be a thousand-person pile on that seems drastic even when it's only a small percentage of people overall. We're not really equipped to operate at that sort of scale.
