Oh no! The horrors of getting down voted. Imagine the blood bath if I said something pro social justice in this indignant thread.


Do you think you have success with that? Are people more open to social justice after being condemned left and right for trivial usage of maybe offensive expressions?

What is the situation now compared to 10 years ago for example?


That’s what this whole thing is about, +- people who legitimately deserve better mental health care than they’re getting from free speech whining. I even complain about being downvoted way more than I should, but mostly because I wish people would say why when they do downvote. It’s often informative even if I ultimately disagree. But this free speech crusade is more about being entirely free of critique because so much as bringing up any kind of justice is an affront akin to being “canceled”. Much free, such speech.


If it was a big deal to me I wouldn't post.

But I am interested in the varying responses / votes over time, specifically when it comes to the topics I mentioned.

Community voting patterns are interesting.


Yeah except you get banned with prejudice for wrongspeak.
