This depends very much on your definition of "right-wing." My experience is that folks who told me I deserve to have my kids taken away from me for being genderqueer didn't get banned, so YMMV. But also: throwaway accounts with the word throwaway? No one should feel bad when they're banned. No one should feel bad for banning them. That is the actual social contract of throwaway accounts, and they're tolerated insomuch as people just use userscripts to mute them out most of the time.

Again, you seem to constantly be projecting your opinions as being the opinions of everyone. >That is the actual social contract of throwaway accounts, and they're tolerated insomuch as people just use userscripts to mute them out most of the time. I love reading comments from throwaway accounts because I feel like you're getting a genuine opinion that someone is too afraid to share on their main account. And those opinions are the most interesting to me. >No one should feel bad when they're banned. I bet this sort of casual dismissiveness wouldn't fly with you if the authors were anonymous genderqueers.

And those opinions are the most interesting to me. I hate them because they're often people spewing ideas they're too cowardly to own. If you feel discriminated against for being slightly conservative, imagine how I feel being an atheist genderqueer. We are unpopular creatures. > I bet this sort of casual dismissiveness wouldn't fly with you if the authors were anonymous genderqueers. It happens all the time. I challenge you to find me complaining about it even once. Throwaway accounts are throwaway.
