It hasn't been my experience that people here particularly avoid talking about divisive topics.
The mechanism of implementing karma penalties for replying to heavily downvoted comments is fairly recent, as are most of the topic bans. For a long time, there was only one banned topic, and that one had a built in expiration date which ran up years ago.
Politics is a banned topic, and there is another one which can't even be mentioned.
Politics isn't banned, just discouraged, I've seen a number of political discussions here, and participated in a few. As long as they stick to actual issues of policy rather than Blues vs. Greens, they generally don't attract objection.
What Desrtopa said. Also one can get away with discussing the basilisk as long as one doesn't go into too many details and/or attract enough attention.
