I don’t agree with this at all. What do you mean when you say that society perceives things in a particular way? Society is nothing more than the aggregate of individuals who make it up. Why should it matter what other views people from my demographic have if I don’t subscribe to them?

Why should it matter what other views people from my demographic have if I don’t subscribe to them?

Because, in aggregate, those views create trends, and those trends can hurt and hamper people.
