That does not make sense, at all.

So you’re saying that liberals can’t avoid thinking in absolutes? Which means I just have to accept that discussions with them are impossible? I know there are exceptions though, you already seem to be better than most.

Lol luckily you’re not being defensive about some totally trivial thing.

That’s fine.

You’re right, I’m totally a liberal now. You guys converted me. Thanks so much.

You don’t seem to realize that this kind of behaviour only makes it worse. Every time something like this happens, I hate the whole thing a little bit more. And that goes for a lot of people, not just me. Do with that what you like.

I don’t really have a definition for that, it’s a liberal term I think. I think people just have to be civil and not jerks, that’s the basic rule. But if people are going to be sensitive to certain opinions and standpoints, those people are going to want to say that those standpoints are “hate speech”. That is the whole problem.

I know exactly why it is and I simply don’t agree.

I don’t need a community to be “politically aligned” with me, I want it to be neutral. But the problem is, it seems like that is not possible. Because when I say “you should be able to say anything, as long as you’re civil” that would already be considered a political stance. Because libs are going to say that that would be “allowing hate speech”.

That is a good answer, thanks.

What is a right? We are talking about opinions vs. facts. Yes, it is your opinion that people have the right to do or have something or not.

I do not want a safe haven, I want a place where things can be discussed freely. But what is your answer to my question? Why do you or why do liberals come here if it is not about the politics?

Dude your whole way of reacting shows exactly what I hate, and want to get away from. You are not even responding to what I said, instead you start going into the trans debate itself because you want to assert your stance so much.

That is helpful, thanks. Any alternatives? If it was just about the political stance you could say Twitter, but it doesn’t have the structure which Reddit has. You mostly follow people which makes the content sort of random, and mostly about politics in my experience. I like having groups which are about specific topics, like subreddits are.

Yes, that would be civil. It’s just an opinion. It is not attacking or name calling.

But let me ask you this: if you agree with all this, why did you come here then? Reddit would be great for you then, no?

Doesn’t matter, even IF that were true, it still doesn’t make it “hate speech”.

In theory that would go for subreddits as well. But that’s not the whole story. I got suspended from ALL of Reddit because of “hate speech”. Not just the subreddit. I think it might be because users reported the comment, but I’m not sure.
