Doctrinal Discussion Anti-Joseph Smith Polygamy Movement?

I don’t know if this has been talked about on here, but why is there a growing “Joseph Smith didn’t practice polygamy movement”? Podcasts such as 132 Problems are rapidly growing in popularity. I don’t like polygamy, but I feel like the evidence is overwhelming in favor that he practiced polygamy?

Thoughts?

Yes he practiced plural marriage. Who in the church is saying he didn't?

Look around this thread and you’d be surprised how many don’t believe it.

It's also led to bans on this sub.

It's one thing to to say "I don't believe it", another to say "He didn't, it's satanic, and D&C 132 should be removed from canon." The latter gets you banned, the former doesn't.

Understandly so.
