Add mature language, but limit speech more than you already were? For shame.

Because if someone is clearly being a shitty person, you should be able to call them out on it. Don't protect trolls.

In theory nothing. In reality it just means a place where you lose the right to do or say anything that someone decides to be offended by. Which is bs.

If somebody was being a shitty person you always were and still can explain to them why they are such.

Seems like it gives the trolls a lot more freedom to do what they do, and even encourage more of it

i don't see the logic here. so it's a safe space where you can't offend anyone, so no one can say anything. but somehow trolls are exempt, and will have free reign and will have no problem upsetting people?

You literally can't call someone a troll, even if their intention is obvious.

People can now defend nazis, and no one can call them out for what they are.

Because if they're trolling you can't point it out , you'll actually get modded but not the troll lmfaoo

Serious question.

They cause echo chambers and result in armchair psychologists causing excessive harm with their "trigger warning ;.;" bitchery. This has made it difficult for marginalized groups to find somewhere to discuss their demographic without running into apologist hugboxes that would make excuses for literal murderers.

Back in my day, GameFAQs would tell you that comparing anyone to the Nazis showed that you had no grasp of history. If someone defends nazis, either ignore them or debate them. Attack the point, not the person. Screaming TROOOOOOOOOOOOOLL!!! is just shitposting, and is only used to shut down discussion either by fanboys or shills. Both of which can get the fuck out.

Clearly he's a meanie. You were just giving unwarranted but potentially useful advice, no need to lock your thread over it.

It's not the first time SBAllen has been a dick to me in recent time.

He posted in a thread I made about 2018 memes just being a hater

I think the new strategy will be to kill the trolls, with kindness.

You can. You just have to be more specific about why they're being shitty to justify your accusation.
