Current Events > This site does have a tendency to let more conservative opinions flourish

(+) Yeah! (+)

CE, or the internet game boards in general, tend to be more liberal because the majority of us on these forums are millenials (i'm a liberal myself). So yeah I have no idea where you are getting this idea that CE is flourishing with conservative opinions. Most of the time you see conservative-esque posts are usually from literal trolls from alt accounts that just want attention (and we unfortunately give it to them). There's very few actual republican/conservative posters here that are open about their belief (I'm not a conservative, I'm a classical liberal!) mostly because their posts do get moderated more frequently. The reason for this is that conservative favor posts tend to be "punching down", as in talking down on minorities and my boot straps while liberal posts are "punching up" mostly shitting on teh evil rich white males.

I saw a topic today that claimed white people were responsible for trump's election get deleted. I just dont see the equivalent on the right get treated the same.

I mean, how many "it's ok to not date black people" topics are allowed on CE? or users generalizing academic underachievement in black areas as the result of parenting?. I've been on the site for quite sometime, but I cant remember essentially right wingers being given this much of the platforn

The first topic doesn't even get made anymore and the second gets modded, don't even try to bullshit this.

And there were a slew of warnings for users who said they agreed with Mario Lopez' statement.

you mean it allows them to exist? and that's an issue?

keep in mind before you respond: we're not talking about extremist/alt right views here. just opinions that fall under the conservative umbrella.

This always cracks me up. One person will tell you this site is a haven for radical leftists and another will say this site is a branch of Stormfront

Y'all ever maybe think you take this place too seriously

The right gets called racist, nazi's on a daily basis. If you point out the hypocrisy on the left, you get warned.

And we have more radical leftists than joel. He is actually not even the most radical leftist on CE.

He's the only one I've seen actively deny genocides committed by the Soviet Union

when someone thinks stalin was a pretty cool guy but maybe he didn't go far enough and they're not actually a radical leftist
