I agree with you. Free speech is a slippery slope. The more free, the more "testing" with offensive or stupid phrases just to get a rise out of people.

I also hate the narcissistic homo tranny worshiping censor brigade on reddit, so it's satisfying to be able to tell them to eat shit here. Btw, not riding Trump's dick, either so don't get that idea.

Edit: woohoo, made your list! I'm sure I'm on some other lists, too, like the tranny climbing the clocktower going postal. Hi reddit. :D

In the early days of the internet it was the same. If you wanted to post to usenet or the early web forums you'd just have to put up with whatever people would say, or stay offline. Nevertheless that brought a majority of normies who outnumbered those who liked to use racial slurs in every post.

Having that stuff mocked, downvoted and pushed to the bottom wasn't enough though, and thus social media was born.

It wasn't about controlling what ourselves see, it's about controlling what others see and who wrestles that control away for themselves. And that's "social media" in a nutshell.

Back in the 2000s, people just said shit just to be edgy. There was virtually no actual racists/sexists/etc. around, because no one gave a shit. You're right; those people were mocked and ridiculed, though there were plenty of people just saying shit to be edgy, but weren't actually serious about it. I'm not left or anything, but it takes a special kind of retarded to be bigoted in that way, cause too many people exist for you to lump them all in one group, unless you're talking about actual criminals, like pedophiles, rapists, abusers, etc.

I'm like, "really? Do you seriously think ALL BLACK PEOPLE are uneducated thugs and buffoons you see on the news? Do you seriously think literally ALL WOMEN are evil, gold-digging scammers out to fuck over men? Do you seriously think ALL GAY PEOPLE are San Francisco level degenerates raping children?"

I can't understand how stupid you have to be to think like that. It's so insanely fucking stupid. I can't even put it into words. These are people who live on the internet and haven't interacted with real human beings in years. And I say, if you're going to hate people, at least hate all of them, cause it's not like there aren't a lot of stupid-ass straight white males out there, too.

Humanity, is mostly full of people who do stupid things daily, and this isn't me "hating" on them. I think anyone who isn't dumb can see that. Doesn't mean someone has to spend all their time posting the same shit about "niggers and white Stacys" every goddamn day, for fuck's sake. Especially when they're literally one of the dumbest people on the internet, like good ol' Mr. Robot stalker. I figure, they'd get it out of their system the first month after joining this site, but no. We got pro-life white nationalists on here; they care so much about embryos with no brains or brain functions, while also wanting to kill "niggers and Jews." Make that shit make sense... (Sorry for the rant.)

I miss 2008 internet. I'm sick of this fucking Demolition Man dystopia that is the 2020s.
