You really can not have a large 'inclusive' group unless you lower the expectation that the people in that group share your personal definition of what is offensive and what is friendly etc. Thats what makes it inclusive, you have a wide range of people with different opinions and viewpoints that are in a group to share some common interest. Not everyone in the group is going to like or respect everyone else at every level. Thats simply the reality of a large group.
What we see with the SJW purges is the opposite of inclusion. There is a very narrow ideological purity test being applied to anyone who wants to be in the group or be a speaker.
You end up with a group that is an intellectual and cultural monoculture with a strict power hierarchy and 'punishment' for anyone who does not agree with the gospel handed down by the authority.
The community eventually falls apart because they rightly see that the organisation has been taken over by a power hungry clique who wants to impose there one true way to participate on everyone else.
Its a really corrosive dynamic. Just because the people doing this have some clever rhetorical devices and use 'inclusion' and 'equally' does not make them any less self serving and power hungry. And they really are trying to make exclusive monoculture with only the 'right' kind of people allowed in.
