So if you're OK with a gay subreddit banning people trying to discuss "should gay acts be legal?"/"Should gay marriage be legal?", surely you're OK with SRS subs (or other feminists/anti-racist subs) banning things they think are against the core tenants of the sub?
SRS and the SJW subs aren't default subs. So don't use SRS as an example of "all of reddit".
I'm talking about discourse being shaped in default subs and not just TwoX. I don't begrudge people their safe spaces, but I do think it's deplorable to take an "if I can't feel safe nobody can" stance. Especially when "feeling safe" implies being sheltered from anybody who disagrees with you.
SRS wasn't supposed to be the point of this but I feel confident that any reasonable person who reads their FAQ will realize they aren't just keeping to themselves. Their reason for existence is to change the entire site. They justify and celebrate their bullying tactics.
Out of respect, and since my last throwaway has already lost posting privileges I must bow out of this discussion. But I'll leave you with some thoughts from Christopher Hitchens on free speech. Earlier in the video you can hear the arguments for abandoning free speech, I think the reasons given for this are often as hateful and fearful as everything they fight against but I'm linking the version of the video with their arguments, in their words, left in.
Many subreddits want to change the world. Any political subreddit wants to change to suit their politics. Gay subreddits (like /r/lgbt) want to change the world outside their subreddit.
