There's quite a bit of racism in here.

Anti-semitism and people who are very taken by the chapter in "The Bell Curve" about race.

IIRC, there's some trans-phobia here too.

I concede there are many things said here that wouldn't be allowed elsewhere. I don't think it's usually borne from hatred or fear though. A lot of times they're things people don't want to hear and they get shut down by labels like transphobia or racism, but it doesn't mean it shouldn't be discussed. Aimee Challenor is a good example of that. Criticizing her was considered transphobic and a banable offense on Reddit.

Yeah, but you're also allowed to call them assholes for it. Suppress that stuff and they go to an echo chamber. Open debate is better, even over stupid stuff.
