Perhaps, but if the criteria for "homophobic attacks" expands to include views that the majority of conservatives hold, then banning "homophobic attacks" just becomes a rebranded way of banning conservatives.
- whateveracct 7y agoFair, but on the flip side: If the majority of conservatives hold (and try to post) homophobic views, then it seems that banning the majority of them is the right thing to do.
- f1refly 7y agoNo, that's not the right thing to do. You'd be suppressing a great amount of people, whose opinions have to be reckoned with. Just because you think they hold the "wrong" opinion doesn't mean they actually do. It just differs from yours and you have to accept that (and can obviously try to convince them of your position). They have to live with your opinion as well, so that's just fair.
