That's true only if you are using an old (pre-2014) version of Tor without the "meek" and/or "obfs" plug-ins, or if you misconfigure modern Tor (though, as far as I know, you really need to be an idiot to do that).

People say politically incorrect things out in the open with regularity (though the context of what that means varies from country to country) and suffer no consequences. To be blunt, there's a hell of alot of money and social currency in saying those things. There is no aim of saying these things that can be satisfied by hiding them.
The politically incorrect, conceptually, is a category of things so shameful to society to say that you shouldn't. Not things that are illegal to say. Conflating the two diminishes the one and elevates the other to a place of importance that it doesn't warrant.
That said, if you wanted to avoid whatever societal shame saying something might incur, that's a cross purpose motivation..but motivation nevertheless....it's just that there's nowhere in society to go or say it that you won't find those people who would shame you. Not even stormfront, lol.
Well, they didn't shame me on TextKit. Barry Hofstetter told me "I am getting tired of this conversation, but I'll congratulate you for speaking Latin.".
