Thankfully it looks like they were prepared for this and it's still up.

They got their wish, the people they didn't want left reddit, they have their "safe space", why are they attacking somewhere they have no interest in being?

Never mind. I keep forgetting... Logic has no place amongst these "warriors".

Welcome to the 21st century, where freedom of speech is dying out and you win an argument by being offended by someone's opinion.


1.But muh religion!
2.Screw yo religion!
1.Much offended, /new tumblr activist has been born.

I've never been to this website, but it seems that SJWs are on the prowl as usual. I don't get why uncensored discussion about topics is offensive to some people. The great idea behind uncensored discussion is people aren't afraid to tell you exactly what they think, which makes discussion more genuine than having to do so within a confined box like on most websites where everyone's personal sensitivities are coddled.

A recent example, is Path of Exile forums which recently started towing the SJW line and coddling everyone from being offended:

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/514309

There are some people on there that do really scummy activities like scam other players, and they're immune from criticism on PoE forums. Scamming is not only fully endorsed by the PoE devs, but its a protected from criticism.

Also, someone made a game that makes a mockery of SJWs:

Censorship is the reason i'm starting to like free for all sites like 4chan. You get 100% clear picture of how people's opinions are, there is no upvote or bullshit so people don't just say stuff to get easy internet points. The truth is hard but most people are assholes at least sometimes.


So many times on reddit i stop myself from commenting because i know it will get downvoted because it's not a popular opinion..

Even 4chan cannot be trusted. 8chan is pretty much the place to go for free speech. Or this forum :mrgreen:

To be fair, the Path of Exile forums have never touted themselves as bastions of free speech, nor do I expect it of any private forum dedicated to a particular topic like a video game.

There's a time and a place for every topic. The real issue is when hypocrisy arises, values change that built up a websites reputation to begin.

In other words; don't say you advocate free speech, then shut it down cause of feefees.
