This is a forum—inherent in it's telos is open discussion. Transforming discussions of injustice into an abhorrence competition is not conducive to that end. I'll remind you that the moderators have liberally called members of this forum rape apologists.
That’s because some members of this forum have engaged in rape apologism, which will no longer be tolerated here; a decision which I fully support and will continue to defend. Sexual assault survivors should not be subjected to hateful and dehumanizing rhetoric like “rape isn’t really rape,” or “victims brought it on themselves.” That sort of content does not elevate or contribute to the quality of discussion here, and it’s potentially harmful to victims.
The same line of reasoning was invoked when we decided to ban slurs. Were you here for that? A subset of the forum community flew into a panicked outrage, ranting slippery slope fallacies about the dangers of censoring free speech. Do you know what happened? The forum continued to function as usual and as intended; discussion continues as usual, except now members don’t have to be subjected to hateful, dehumanizing speech related to their skin color, ethnicity, or sexual preference/gender identity. End of the fucking world, I know. You sound like a whining Trump supporter, tbh..
