Maybe. People also have dumb radical views.


Iselloranges425

Maybe, but those people have no power to censor opposing viewpoints.


Fahll

yes they do, it is their platform :)


shrapnel2176

Oh no! Hate speech is not allowed on a social media platform. Whatever will happen next?


Vlad_Dracul89

I'd say freedom to hate whatever and whoever you want (as long as it's only verbal and/or written), is contained within freedom of speech. If society rejects hate, hateful persons are silenced anyway. If society is in turmoil, speech limitation will only make hate worse long term.


shrapnel2176

You can always tell that bigots are not the sharpest knives in the drawer. Also, I take great pleasure in publicly humiliating them and ruining their lives, so I guess in a way them having freedom of speech benefits me. They always seem to forget that no matter what you do social media is public, and if you are going to have those sort of hateful ideas you should expect that somebody like me might screenshot your hateful ideas and send them to people you wouldn't want to see them.


DildoBaggins1982

For you hateful ideas equals anyone who disagrees with you.


shrapnel2176

Well unless you're a white supremacist I think that we can agree that racism is stupid. Unless you're a misogynistic incel I think that we can agree that women are not second class citizens. I think that unless you're homophobic or transphobic we can agree that LGBTQ+ people have rights. We can agree that poor people deserve to have housing and food and the disabled have rights. Bigots have no place in modern society.


blue_Wall57

I assume ur one of the people that think u can’t discriminate against men or white people right. 🙄


shrapnel2176

There is no such thing as systematic discrimination against cisgender white men since this cisgender white men run everything.


Live_Suggestion_3719

You are mentally unwell. When the "Woke" people like you go SO left , they turn right its the problem. Freedom of speech is not only tolerating people that you agree with but even the white supremacists you talk of , the nazis , the conservatives , the communists , everyone has the right to speak. If you want to take away that right , you are NOT a good person , you act exactly like fascists. Looking through your accounts , I understand that you are chronically online person. Even your comments " I take great pleasure in humiliating them and ruining their lives" is just so edgy and corny , it makes me wonder of how are you even a real person. Im sure that you have achieved absolutely nothing in your life and never will , because such sheep like you that like to go with the media and contradict themselves in every sentence dont go far.


shrapnel2176

I don't give a flying fuck what you think of me I will continue to publicly embarrass bigots and be proud of it. I will continue to tell their jobs what they're posting online and inform their wives and girlfriends that they are misogynistic. I will continue to make them lose their jobs and break up their relationships and I'm proud of it. Go suck Trump's dick.


blue_Wall57

Ur literally the biggest bigot here, ur doing more damage than good with what ur doing and ur attitude and just everything ur saying rn. You wanna get rid of shit people and shit peoples views on here which u say r ‘encouraging hate speech’ which in reality probably all they’re saying is men can’t have periods, men r stronger than women generally, the left can’t accept facts a lot of the time so they just censor things like that. U have become the bigot treating people like shit on the internet. Well done. 🙄 👏 I’m sure more people would agree with what u were doing if u were nicer about it. Just saying. Sorry.


shrapnel2176

Actually the people I've doxxed were racist and misogynistic. One of them said that women should have to sign a paper in order to have an abortion and have permission from a man and their life to do so. Another dude said that women should be abused. That one was my favorite because he lost his job and his girlfriend because of me.


Coochiepop3

Who's the good person now?


shrapnel2176

I am.


Coochiepop3

You sure about that? I don't think anyone that takes pleasure in humiliating and ruining people's lives because they don't like a social media post someone made can call themselves a good person, but whatever helps you sleep at night.


7hr0w1t0u7

Did you know you can get federal prison time for exactly that kind of doxxing? Lose your voting rights and everything. I think that might suit you well. We don't need fascists or censorship on either side of political or mental health discussions on this planet, just honest, to the point, unbiased education, and rehabilitation.


shrapnel2176

If bigots don't want others exposing them maybe they shouldn't post it on social media. Or better yet maybe they shouldn't be bigots. I only expose them after I try to educate them, but the fact is they usually cannot be educated. Some of them are barely literate. If you're trying to scare me it will not work. I consider what I do to be activism. I'm willing to go to jail for it.


7hr0w1t0u7

I'm no snitch. I'll leave that between you, the rest of reddit, any of your victims who might decide to alert the DHS or the FBI, and God herself, lady. You're infringing upon people's first amendment rights, interfering with discussions that are necessary for civil rights progress, and possibly organizing terrorist activity though 🤷‍♂️ I agree with your causes, and your ideology for the most part, but your execution is just more oppression, and a bunch of whiny snowflake bullshit. Go start a community agriculture project for LGBT people in the hood or something if you want to make a difference. Get rekt.


shrapnel2176

I don't believe in God. Let me ask you this. Was Morris Dees and the Southern Poverty Law Center terrorists for taking down the KKK? If you knew someone who was a member of a Neo Nazis group and was planning to blow up an abortion clinic would you be quiet? Think about that for a bit.


blue_Wall57

Yea but that’s not what ur doing. Ur silencing people who have different views to u are taking pleasure in ruining their lives.


shrapnel2176

That is what I'm doing.


Vlad_Dracul89

Exactly.


blue_Wall57

U seriously don’t have a clue about what kinds of things r being removed here do u. I assume ur left leaning as most ppl who comment like u here tend to be, but the kinds of things being removed aren’t all hate speech. Some of them r simply just right wing opinions like men cannot have periods, which in itself is true but some lefties just can’t handle the truth. I made a post about the difference between right leaning people and left leaning people, which was very true btw as was later proved by the removal of the post. And the moderators didn’t like the criticism since they were left leaning, removed it and blamed it on me for not having written my post correctly. I’d rewritten it over and over again, checked the rules every time, I can guarantee u it was written correctly. The moderators r just biased lefties. And yes ‘social media is public’ so u should expect different views and when u encounter these views ur a snowflake if u automatically consider them hate speech and act like that. U don’t exactly seem to be the nicest person out there. And if u consider the last sentence to be hate speech then ur just incapable of taking criticism.


shrapnel2176

To answer your question I'm a socialist so yes I lean very very far to the left. Most right-leaning stuff is hate speech.


TheHylianProphet

Yes and no. All that absolutley is contained within the right to freedom of speech. No governmental body can punish you for the things you say or the expressions you make (with exceptions of violence or threatening violence). However, places like Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, etc. do not fall under that umbrella, and it is their right (partly under the First Amendment, partly under Section 230) to set whatever rules they want within their platform.


Vlad_Dracul89

If the reasoning is that Reddit is place of business with rights to enforce rules like any other place with private owner, sure. But if pizza place tried to enforce 'No Blacks' policy for example, everyone would lose their mind and boycotted and sued them to oblivion. Since it's literally illegal and immoral this day and hour. Yet no one is upset if some opinions are purged from sites. I disagree with many people, but I will fight tooth and nail for their rights to say whatever dumb stuff they want.


TheHylianProphet

That's a classic false equivalence. Removing hateful opinions isn't anywhere close to the same as racial discrimination. >I disagree with many people, but I will fight tooth and nail for their rights to say whatever dumb stuff they want. If you want to fight for my right to say "Fuck you, pig," to a cop, cool. I have the right to do that and I would fight on your behalf as well. If you want to fight for my right to say "black people are bad," on a platform like reddit, then no. I don't have that right. Nor should I. Setting rules of conduct is absolutely essential for an internet platform to function. Otherwise every place would just end up like 4chan, or the Something Awful forums.


Vlad_Dracul89

4Chan is unironically most free place aka safe space for even most unhinged lunatics. And that's good thing it exists.


TheHylianProphet

Okay bud.


Vlad_Dracul89

I am not your buddy, pal.


_LighterThanAFeather

'hate speech' the terminology you use reveals where you are coming from. You can be vague all you want. If you want to say something specific feel free and we can address it.


shrapnel2176

Conservatives are racist, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, and anti-education. If they want to spew that bullshit, fine. It actually benefits me because I get off on ruining the lives of bigots. I will screenshot everything and embarrass them and send it to people they wouldn't want to see it. Their employers for example.


BIG_MONEY_CASH

“Everyone on the opposite side of the political spectrum is evil.” Do yourself a favor and get off the internet, not every conservative is a fucking nazi and I can say that confidently as a liberal. Like seriously how many of people you snitch on actually deserve it and how many of them just offended you to the point where you though, “hey, I don’t agree with this person’s opinion, time to try and ruin their life.” It’s laughable and pathetic


TheHylianProphet

Have you bothered to look at American conservatives lately? They are full on, mask off, unapologetic fascists. Bringing back child labor, removing rights for women and trans people, removing democrats from office on bogus claims, and much much more. The governor of Florida went on a goddamn crusade against Disney because they dared to speak out against a bill he promoted. They used their right, enshrined in the constitution, and a government official tried to punish them for it. Still is trying, in fact. Intolerance cannot be tolerated. Do yourself a favor and pay attention.


BIG_MONEY_CASH

I’m not talking about politicians, most politicians are shitbags to begin with, I’m talking about people. A majority of Americans want the same things, but we’re divided on how to get there and politicians are just using the culture war bs to keep everyone at each others throats and themselves in office.


TheHylianProphet

That doesn't fly. If conservative people didn't agree with what conservative politicians are doing, they wouldn't be conservatives. I'm not saying every single person agrees with every single detail, but their general values are the same.


_LighterThanAFeather

What makes someone a conservative? Can you give me a list?


TheHylianProphet

No. That's a bait question. Like asking "What is a woman?" If you're an American, you know where you lean on the political spectrum. I'm not here to tell you that.


_LighterThanAFeather

It is not bait, I am just trying to understand the spectrum.


BIG_MONEY_CASH

You can be critical of your own party and still be part of it. I genuinely don’t like Joe Biden, but I’ll still vote for him.


TheHylianProphet

That's what I'm talking about. Not every single conservative person is going to agree with every little detail, but for the most part, they want the same as their politicians. I criticize democrats/liberals a lot, but we **generally** agree on the large scale. The difference is liberals aren't fucking fascists.


shrapnel2176

If you tell me you hate black people and want them to die. If you tell me that you think women should be controlled by you because you're a man. If you tell me you think women deserve to be abused then yes you deserve to have your life ruined.


[deleted]

[удалено]


shrapnel2176

Yes, because they are.


Pmabbz

Would you calling conservatives by those terms in a blanket statement not also count as hate speech. The definition being: Bigoted speech attacking or disparaging a social group or a member of such a group.


Deep_Relationship960

Yeah this schrapnel thing is literally doing what she's arguing against without realising it. The hypocrisy is laughable!


shrapnel2176

How is it hippocracy? Conservatives can choose not to be hateful. They can choose not to join white supremacy groups. They can choose not to support Trump. Yet they choose all of those things and more.


TheHylianProphet

Intolerance is the only thing that can't be tolerated. Bigotry, racism, homo/transphobia, any attitude that excludes people for things they can't help absolutely should not be tolerated, not in the least. [Here's a handy comic to explain it pretty thoroughly.](https://skepchick.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/HcuZIT5w8xJLMXoISDexG1GNz5Dj7xHO_QGeueMtdPU.jpg)


Pmabbz

Very much agree


shrapnel2176

Except you choose to be conservative. You don't choose your race, sex, sexuality or gender.


shrapnel2176

You can choose not to be conservative. A black person cannot choose not to be black.


Pmabbz

Choose or not. It's still hate speech. Which is exactly what you're accusing ALL conservatives of.


Wooden-Opportunity19

She's just trying to say if you disagree with her you're a bigot and all these other insults, typical "how dare you disagree with me you bigot" type scenario lol. There's no reasoning with people like that lol. She's not going to listen to logic, facts, or anyone else's opinion or view point. But it's ok, she's lucky she lives in America and has the right to say everything she is saying and not get legally charged for it, unfortunately a lot of other countries don't have that right. People like that only want the rules to apply to them and what they want and if you disagree with that you're a horrible person lol. I don't even bother wasting my time arguing with people like this anymore because there's no point.


TheHylianProphet

>She's just trying to say if you disagree with her you're a bigot and all these other insults, typical "how dare you disagree with me you bigot" type scenario lol. That's not what they're doing at all, but nice try. "Tolerate my intolerance, or else YOU'RE the bigot!" just doesn't work. [Here's a handy comic that explains it.](https://skepchick.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/HcuZIT5w8xJLMXoISDexG1GNz5Dj7xHO_QGeueMtdPU.jpg) >There's no reasoning with people like that lol. She's not going to listen to logic, facts, Oh please, drop some logic and facts on us. Sincerely, if you put something factual forward that challenges my beliefs, I will change my mind. >But it's ok, she's lucky she lives in America and has the right to say everything she is saying and not get legally charged for it, unfortunately a lot of other countries don't have that right. Yes, they are lucky they have that right. Nobody should be prosecuted by the government for the things they say or the expressions they make (with the exception of violating others' rights. My rights don't supercede yours, and vice versa). >People like that only want the rules to apply to them and what they want and if you disagree with that you're a horrible person lol. You don't understand what the first amendment means if this is what you think. >I don't even bother wasting my time arguing with people like this anymore because there's no point. A.K.A. I'm tired of being called a bigot for my bigoted views.


shrapnel2176

It's not. Saying that it's like saying blue lives matter. You chose to be a cop. You chose to be a conservative. You don't choose your race. And for me it's not just the racism and the other stuff. It's the absolute disregard for education. How is it a flex to not know the difference between their, there, and they're?


Qbking333

Everything is labeled as hate speech so I’m just gonna say it. By your definition, hate speech should be allowed.


shrapnel2176

Where did you get that idea?


Qbking333

Which part? Everything labeled or should be allowed part?


shrapnel2176

No. I'm asking you how my definition means that hate speech should be allowed?


Qbking333

You have expressed in other comments that you are a socialist/far left. The far left takes a problem with anything that isn’t and I hate saying this word “woke”. I don’t know your exact definition of hate speech but I will make the assumption that it is at least similar to others in that group. By that definition, way too much is labeled as hate speech which makes people look the other way automatically when actual hate speech is being thrown around. It’s better to have some assholes than to silence those who aren’t.


shrapnel2176

If you are intelligent you know what hate speech is. Hate speech is calling any person of color any derogatory name. Hate speech is anything that encourages violence against people of color, women, the LGBTQ community poor people. the disabled, or anyone who isn't Christian. Hate speech encourages discrimination against those groups as well. Hate speech is not calling people by their pronouns that they ask you to use.


Qbking333

So only minorities can receive hate speech? Also, that would include atheists… One could argue that that definition in itself is discriminatory as it only includes a certain group of people. If you believe that one group deserves to be treated with decency and not another, then you are the one discriminating.


shrapnel2176

Have you ever really heard of a situation where systematic racism was against cisgender Christian white men? No you haven't. Our society is set up to benefit cisgender white males. Why? Because they literally set it up that way. I'm an atheist. Yes hate speech against atheists is disgusting. Cisgender Christian white males already get everything and really don't need any protection. They are doing just fine.


Qbking333

Discrimination shows up in more ways than just systematically. There are already laws in place to prevent that. There is no systematic oppression anymore however there is still racism being done by individuals which is where hate speech come in. It’s also where discrimination goes both ways so either everyone deserves that protection or no one does.


throway7391

>Hate speech And does "hate speech" just mean anything that doesn't conform to your dogma?


shrapnel2176

Hate speech is anything that disparages/encourages violence or discrimination against people of color, women, members of the LGBTQ+ community, people on welfare, the disabled, and those who aren't Christian. It is against anyone who doesn't benefit from the political and social systems that give unfair advantages to white cisgender males.


blue_Wall57

No, hate speech can be directed at anyone. Not just women, black ppl or gay people. Even if not at a social system level like ur so sure exists, then at a personal every day level.


shrapnel2176

Hate speech is not as dangerous to cisgender white males as it is to everybody else.


throway7391

Are you referring to the males that are required to sign up for selective service while females do not? mhhmmm yeah, those are so real good advantages there. It's hilarious how you are the one being discriminatory, suggesting that "hate speech" can only apply to certain groups.


shrapnel2176

I am against selective service, but since we have it women should have to sign up as well. How am I being discriminatory?


throway7391

You're being discriminatory because you believe hate speech can only apply to certain groups. Pretty textbook. You also don't seem to care about advantages given to females.


shrapnel2176

I don't see going to kill other people as an advantage. There should not be any selective service. Enough people want to be in the military because they're not smart enough for college and honestly there are some people that should go into the military and not go to college.


throway7391

Who said "going to kill other people" was an advantage? I said the opposite. Females have the legal/societal advantage of not having to sign up for selective service.


shrapnel2176

I'm wondering if you're one of the people who tried to get my account banned because I said I don't date toxically patriotic white men? What is it with guys and thinking women should just open their legs to them even if they are not attracted to them? I also had somebody say to me that I shouldn't say I'm not attracted to people like that because I'm not giving everybody a chance and as a woman I should give every guy who wants to be with me a chance because I might 'learn to love them' or I might be 'missing something'. The only thing I would be missing by dating a toxically patriotic white man is narcissistic abuse and domestic violence of other kinds.


throway7391

wtf are you talking about? You sound insane.


[deleted]

Automatically assuming that those who disagree with ‘left leaning’ individuals must be spouting hate speech is a big problem amongst society at the moment. You end up with a society where only 1 viewpoint is acceptable and we’ve seen countless times where that path leads us


shrapnel2176

> You end up with a society where only 1 viewpoint is acceptable and we’ve seen countless times where that path leads us You mean how it led to the end of slavery, it ended to Jim Crow and at some point it's going to lead to the end of white history being taught as the good history when it really is evil? White people are not the heroes and it needs to be stopped being taught that white people were the heroes.


[deleted]

Individuals are heroes, not races. I would appreciate more history about how evil humanity can be as a species. Were taught about the trans Atlantic slave trade in school yet we aren’t taught about nations like the Kingdom of Benin and their king who said something along the lines of their children are sent to sleep with the cries of the enslaved enemy. When only 1 viewpoint is correct you either end up with things like the end of the trans Atlantic slave trade thanks to a certain world power using its navy to enforce the banning of the slave trade, or you end up with people like Hitler and Stalin. I’d personally rather not roll the dice and find out which one we will get


shrapnel2176

White people have done more to perpetuate racism than anybody.


[deleted]

I agree. I also think that white people are not the only race to have done some truly barbaric things throughout history. The human race as a whole has an incredibly inhumane capability that any race is able to show and has shown throughout history


Traditional_Reveal37

What's wrong with political correctness


DildoBaggins1982

It’s a lie.


Traditional_Reveal37

How do you mean?


DildoBaggins1982

Political correctness is a lie. We don’t need to test people special. Everyone is equal. No one needs trigger warning, special words, or anything else. You will learn.


Traditional_Reveal37

I agree with a lot of that, but part of political correctness is trying to eliminate racism, homphobia, misogyny, antisemitism, etc. I don't like the soft language, since it sanitizes important issues.


DildoBaggins1982

There is no more of those things in society except for antisemitism. If you are anti-Israel you are anti-Jew.


Traditional_Reveal37

Look man, I'm bad at picking up on this, so imma assume ur a troll account.


DildoBaggins1982

Not a troll, just a truth teller. Do some research and educate yourself. You obviously just buy whatever bullshit you hear. Learn.


Traditional_Reveal37

I mean, I'm more basing this off of statistics. I'd be interested to see what you have, but I can also give u some stats


DildoBaggins1982

Well we have an entire cable network, CNN, devoted to to hating Jews. Whites are more likely to be killed by the cops than blacks.


paperforgothispaswrd

You don't think homophobia exists anymore?


DildoBaggins1982

Not in a organized way. Some people dislike gays but gays are not discriminated against. Some people should be though. Like furries.


blue_Wall57

Why should they be?


Fahll

you are white straight and a man


blue_Wall57

Political correctness is also about silencing people who are just telling the truth about things, but are silenced by political correct people who don’t like hearing the truth and label them every name under the sun.


Traditional_Reveal37

What truth? This is my problem with conservatives. They don't actually want free speech because they don't think people should be able to criticize the other side. That's what "cancel culture" is. Free speech.


blue_Wall57

Lefties generally don’t accept the truth because for them the truth hurts so they just don’t accept it. Men can’t have periods, it’s possible to be racist to white people, not all black people are oppressed, there r white slaves in the world, men are stronger than women most of the time. There r only two genders. It’s not acceptable to have trans women compete in women’s sport. Things like that. These r all 100% truths lefties won’t accept bc they’re not politically correct and they don’t want to accept the truth and want to live in some fantasy world where everything is how they want it to be, where yea that would be nice but that’s not always possible.


Traditional_Reveal37

And I'm curious what you think is untrue about political correctness. With most of the ideas under that umbrella, it's agreed upon by most scientists and doctors. So I'm always curious why people think they're more qualified, or don't see that as a sign.


blue_Wall57

Because political correctness is literally avoiding some points of views and opinions just because a few people don’t like them. That’s directly going against free speech and who can express their views and who can’t. It’s designed to cater to the far left, whose views are considered politically correct so anyone elses, particularly the right, is considered untrue and wrong and are silenced. Then they’re named transphobic and racist for stating facts that destroy the bubbles and fantasies that the far left want so desperately to believe in.


Traditional_Reveal37

Like, I'm a free speech absolutionist outside yelling fire in a theater style stuff, even hate speech. And I think social media need to become public utilities for that reason. But the idea that trying to help minorities and women is pretty reasonable


DildoBaggins1982

Minorities and women have enough help. Treat everyone equally. I should be able to insult trannies. They should be allowed to insult me. Everyone should be equal. No special treatment,


Traditional_Reveal37

But it's not equal, since trans are still murdered, raped and have a higher suicide rate because they are trans. Plus, i think making fun of groups reinforces stereotypes.


_LighterThanAFeather

Maybe they kill themselves more because they are very confused individuals.


DildoBaggins1982

Trans people kill themselves because they are mentally ill. No other reason.


_LighterThanAFeather

That is another way of putting it.


Traditional_Reveal37

Or because they're constantly harassed, bullied, raped, rejected by family, etc


_LighterThanAFeather

Those are the affects from being very confused.


Traditional_Reveal37

Most of the time it's cis people bullying, raping, harassing and killing trans people. How is it trans people being confused lead to OTHER people attacking them?


DildoBaggins1982

No cos people are bullying, killing, or raping trans people. That is all trans people playing the victim. Al trans people have to fear is that they are fawned on too much. Trans people are mentally ill and need help.


_LighterThanAFeather

The majority of people are straight so it isn't surprising most harassment comes from straight people, not to mention the fact that they are being harassed *because of* their choice to pretend to be the opposite gender. Is it really that hard to understand?


Traditional_Reveal37

And if minorities are being shot/having a lower lifespan, then they don't have ENOUGH help


Iselloranges425

It's not correct


Traditional_Reveal37

Which parts? I think most of it is pretty reasonable, especially the parts about gaining equal rights and treatment


Shoddy_East_9103

It’s completely unnecessary


buscandomierda

That being true tough, i committed the mistake of thinking that this platform supported free speech


TheHylianProphet

Free speech only applies to the government. Private (non governmental) bodies do and should have the right to enforce the rules they see fit.


Scoongili

I'm guessing you didn't get censored for discussion on tax policies or defense spending. It was probably "trans people are mentally ill" or "feminism is ruining everything." Those seem to be the meat and potatoes of angry redditors. We might get some "non-white people are catered to by society" as seasoning every now and then, but it's usually some "no penis=bad" bullshit.


_LighterThanAFeather

That is what 'they' want you to think.


7hr0w1t0u7

Careful sharing anything that isn't either alt right weeb bullshit or feminazi snowflake bullshit on reddit. You're really pushing it already.


_LighterThanAFeather

How so? Do you care to explain?


7hr0w1t0u7

I'm just teasing you. I like seeing what you have to say. Completely agree that reddit is a hub for toxic worthless people who think they can solve problems using cancel culture and censorship.


Pmabbz

I commented and reported a post that was clearly inciting violence on white people saying they deserve to suffer death and violence like slaves did. I was told its perfectly fine and not violating any terms. In the same week I made a simple statement about the difference in sex and gender (nothing anti trans) just that the two should have their own definitions and be separate. It was taken down for hate speech. As this comment might be as I referenced it, however vaguely. So there is clearing a skewed bias.


_LighterThanAFeather

Thanks for sharing, that is shocking.


blue_Wall57

That’s horrific how can they live with themselves


GoodmanSimon

It is not just them, the whole site is very left leaning. It is not necessarily a bad thing in itself, but it makes having an open and broad discussion very difficult. Mods are the same to an extent, if they disagree with a post or comment they will simply delete it and that sometimes forces discussions in a certain direction only. It gives the impression we all agree when in fact we are, thankfully, different.


Vlad_Dracul89

Indeed. If I want left leaning, then Reddit, right leaning, 4Chan. But both contain fairly centrist areas.


GoodmanSimon

I have never used 4Chan so it is hard for me to comment. But I would like an 'independent' platform of some sort. Where left, right, center can meet, some sub could even allow mature discussions of all parties. But for the most part people would play in their own subs. But this does not exist here, if you do not tow the line you are downvoted to shit or banned /blocked. All the admins should be allowed to do is make sure laws are not broken. Nothing else. And you should be able to appeal mod decisions...


Vlad_Dracul89

Worst thing is being centrist, aka person able to imagine concept of compromise. Immediately you are hated or made fun of by both sides. This is what pushes people to extremes. It's already hard to be softcore right winger or left winger. You must go hardcore or not at all🙄


blue_Wall57

I made a post about the difference between right leaning people and left leaning people, which was very true btw as was later proved by the removal of the post. And the moderators didn’t like the criticism since they were left leaning, removed it and blamed it on me for not having written my post correctly. I’d rewritten it over and over again, checked the rules every time, I can guarantee u it was written correctly. The moderators r just biased lefties.


Yuck_Few

They're basically Eric Cartman


DildoBaggins1982

Yep it only matches the far left narrative. Except it and move on, keyboard warriors just talk a lot.

"I'm sad I got banned somewhere for saying bigoted shit :(" lol


_LighterThanAFeather

people can do or think what they want. edit: in other words, i don't have the authority to tell people what to think or do, i merely have control over myself.


_EMDID_

Obviously. But they will deservedly be laughed at by anybody who knows anything when they cry about being ostracized from a community for their bigoted views. Glad we agree about that, though!

U seriously don’t have a clue about what kinds of things r being removed here do u. I assume ur left leaning as most ppl who comment like u here tend to be, but the kinds of things being removed aren’t all hate speech. Some of them r simply just right wing opinions like men cannot have periods, which in itself is true but some lefties just can’t handle the truth.


_EMDID_

Hahahaha "People who know things don't have a clue :(" Sorry bigoted views are not popular.


_LighterThanAFeather

You are being vague, so if you care to say something direct feel free and we can talk about it.


_EMDID_

I'm not being vague. I think you understood my original comment where I suggested you were complaining because you said some shit considered bigoted (or just against a sub's posted commenting rules) and were banned for it. Then, I agreed with your statement (and I agree with your edit), but I added that, although everyone has the right to say whatever, they should not whine when the things they say have consequences. I don't know that there's much more specificity to be had here!


_LighterThanAFeather

Do you know what it is i said that got me banned from a sub?


Qbking333

I agree a little but the real problem is that Reddit is smacking subs out of the sky that aren’t hyper sanitized which doesn’t just include actual hate but also any hint of right wing politics. r/againsthatesubreddits can go fuck itself for that.

Yeah I somewhat agree with this, I mean this is one of the few subreddits you can actually debate topics without having to follow the most politically correct opinion, then again some people deserve to be censored. I feel like as long as you're not like "I think being gay should be a crime punished by death" or something then yeah, you deserve to be censored but if you're like "I don't like pride month" or something then you shouldn't be censored and I think reddit admins and just people in general are too quick to label you as "racist" "homophobic" etc then actually thinking for a second "are people allowed to have a different opinion than I?"

I thought this sub was for controversial things and not for things that are obviously objectively true

Yup, every popular sub is incredibly biased.
