They wanted to ban saidit? Why? I wish I would have known so I could read the comments. These people really are unhinged

They consider us a hate site. I've always found that ironic because reddit is waaay more hateful.

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.
