That Voat statement is spot on. I feel pretty confident the posters are attempting to be edgy....... and yet I feel like I need to take a shower after perusing the site.

Nice username !

I mean, it's not that I don't kinda like Voat. But then again, I don't get offended by much of anything. And one of the sad realities of the Internet is that edgy, rough, and vulgar sites tend to have a better view of what's going on than the sanitized, censored, and politically correct sites do. To Quote: "I speak the saddest words of tongue and pen, Now I know, /pol/ was right again".

It's actually done to protect free speech. Every time there's a new influx of people on voat the old goats (me included) start a bit of hazing.

Once we get rid of the people who think they like free speech until they get called a 'kike nigger" as a term of endearment.. Then the conversation goes back to normal.

It's militant free speech. I just ignore it, generally.
