I don’t think people object to these topics being heated either. I think there are probably (at least) two things going on:
There’s some underlying thing causing some disagreements to be heated/​emotional, and people want to avoid that underlying thing (that could be that it involves exclusionary beliefs, but it could also be that it is harmful in other ways)
There’s a reputational risk in being associated with controversial issues, and people want to distance themselves from those for that reason
Either way, I don’t think the problem is centrally about exclusionary beliefs, and I also don’t think it’s centrally about disagreement. But anyway, it sounds like we mostly agree on the important bits.
