It doesn't matter if its your viewpoint. You can still be banned for trolling. Otherwise trolls would do exactly like you just did, and attempt to hide behind the "BUT ITS MY OPINION" line.

Also, right and far right trolls have a history of taking longer to be banned than left and far left trolls. Therefore, mods are biased towards the right and far right.


But I WASN'T trolling, that's my whole point. And just because some trolls are smart enough to not get caught so easily, doesn't mean the Mods look over them.

That's a Load of bull.....


No its not. Again, right trolls get banned less often than left trolls. The reason they do that is so they can appear to be non-biased, and to be able to honestly deny the "mods are biased against the right" line.

I'm sorry if I don't think like the Social Anarchist hivemind, but last I checked, said hivemind believes in Freedom of Speech, doesn't it? Rights? Fairness? Equality? The latter two sound grand, and yet, they seem to be absent. I'm sorry if you don't like my views, I'm sorry if you're offended by them. I'm not out to piss people off or make enemies, I'm out to share my opinion, as the law allows me to. If you have a problem with that, then you have a problem with the law.

Except you're on a website with specific rules. You have to follow those rules to be on the website.

If you have a problem with that, don't go on this website.

The concept of gender is an anachronism.

This is just a simple step towards its abolition.

Why is Hammer and Sickle not banned(Not that I'm upset about that)? But Swastika(Which is a symbol of Peace) Is? Left is favored.


Because the Swastika has been used as an explicit symbol of genocide, and you have to ban it altogether to keep nazi trolls from using the "I was using the symbol of peace version" line.

Better but still kinda cissexist & binarist, insofar as it still has male and female as "default" genders and anything else is a deviation from that. And also cis/trans* status has been tagged onto gender rather than being put as a separate field (which is problematic because whether you're cis or trans* doesn't actually effect your gender or the way in which you are that gender, it's a socially constructed relationship between your gender and your assigned sex). And you still have to pick your gender from a list ANYWAY, it's just a bigger list (which is problematic because gender being defined by the individual, it's impossible to have an exhaustive list of all possible genders)

One day Facebook will have a continuous linear mapping from the uncountable set of genders to an n-dimensional vector of gender identity. What a time to be a mathematics student!
