Allow us to toggle whether or not we want people to see their mutual friends because it's a privacy concern.

This is a serious privacy concern. I have a friend who's trying to hide not liking someone involved in a sex crime by being friends with me but there's literally no way he can do that without having a damage to his reputation. We are good friends and this breaks my heart, because he has to choose between either me or potentially risking a lot of his friends and I don't want him to go through that struggle.

I understand that the world does not revolve around his problems, or my problems but I speak for people who view this as a privacy concern. This is in no way meant to be guilt tripping, because I am 100% sure there are tons of people in this same situation and that's the only reason why I brought up why I want this feature.

If you want to know if someone is friends with someone, you should be able to opt whether or not people want to see that like other platforms such as Steam and many other platforms with a chat feature. Discord isn't Twitter. Discord isn't Instagram. We should be able to customize our privacy more. People can ABSOLUTELY opt into showing their mutual friends for whatever reason they may see fit. Everyone has their own reasoning for doing so.
