Agreed. There are too many racists posts on this site that for me are really hard to stomach. However, the freedom to speak is such an incredible, incredible relief! I haven't felt the freedom to speak so freely anywhere on the internet for a very very long time. When I put things in perspective and remind myself that the racists on this site are just some individual randos who have no real power over me or anyone else outside of their pathetic little lives anyway, I feel that they can do their puny little rant all the want as long as it remains some rando rant. The benefit of being able to speak and associate freely is such a huge, huge prize in exchange for some nobody rando rant which I can choose to ignore.

I never was a fragile flower who "don't feel safe" because of other people's opinions and I never will be. Sure, it'd be a better, happier, more harmonious world if everyone would be respectful and kind. Btu reality is we won't melt and die, nor do we need to go commit suicide simply because some other moron out there said some bullshit that makes us feel bad.
