Venting Places and things that need to be banned or at least censored

[MrCasella]

1 4chan way too much hate speech and improper discussions because of trolling. 2 incels.is again hate speech and angry fits. 3 Transgenders way too many of them in the media their time on screens need to be reduced. Pornography it makes up half of the internet and that's a bad thing for humanity.

That's a random grouping... hate speech, incels, pornography, and transgender people? You really see all of those as equally in need of banning or censorship?

Meanwhile... I think anyone running a forum can censor or ban as they wish. In the USA, for example, you are supposed to have the right to free speech as it pertains to government restrictions... but you don't have the right to come into my house and say whatever you want. Neither do I have the right to come into your house and say whatever I want. Just in public is where we have the rights.

Now, I prefer open conversation where anyone can say whatever they want. This includes hateful things. I support that freedom because IF you start drawing a line, then everyone gets to draw a line... and your post is a good example where it seems like you want to be against hate speech but also against transgender people in general which is accidentally the perfect example of why censorship gets out of hand in a hurry.

Ban the most awful thing you can imagine and most will not bat an eye... ban the next worst thing and you still get lots of support... eventually you're going to keep moving that goalpost to something most do not agree with, but so much has been banned there will be not many left to oppose you.

I always say let the horrible people say the horrible things out loud so we know who they are. I'd rather know you are horrible than you be secretly horrible because you've been banned from talking.

What's wrong with trans people in the media? If you don't like trans people then you can leave this site. I don't get the point of hanging out on a site whose admin is trans and who has a large trans user base if you are a transphobe who can't handle seeing trans people in the media.

1st point response yes I do. 2 I understand that the USA has freedom of speech including hate speech I do not care because unlike you I do not live in the United States. And you do make a good final point that I agree with despite hating hate speech.

I just find it very interesting that hate speech, incels, and pornography are equal to transgender people in the mind of the OP. I don't feel like there's a legitimate conversation to be had when someone says they both are against hate speech but also against victims of hate speech at the same time. Confusing.
