I think there's a discussion worth having on the increasing trend towards argument by analogy, where we judge things as good or bad based not on a concrete analysis of their effects but whether we can attach a label like "violence" to them. It's obviously prone to dragging people into political slapfights (which I see you're excited to engage in yourself!), but I don't know if that should be a disqualifier; a lot of important topics have that quality.
