Your claims here are something I've heard repeated from people before but I've never seen much substance to them. Especially the idea that being non-white or LGBT is non-minority online much of anywhere.
Do you have any non-anecdotal data to back those up?
- BlargMcLarg 4y agoAllow me to articulate. There certainly is evidence active participants tend to skew a certain way on e.g. Twitter and Reddit. These participants are predominantly left-wing. "Do you have any data" you can Google it, it is well known. The majority itself is passive. The majority of active participants are left wing and skew young, which by extension are generally pro-inclusion. Anti-diversity standpoints are a minority except for specific cases. And really, it would be strange if it wasn't, considering the encouragement of anything unfavorable towards a minority is grounds for getting yourself on the fast track to the banlist.
- IntelMiner 4y ago"the encouragement of anything unfavorable towards a minority is grounds for getting yourself on the fast track to the banlist" Why would you want to encourage something that hurts other people?
- BlargMcLarg 4y agoThat's the point. People in these discussions act like the majority are unenlightened bigots trying to return things to the 19th century. That's not true, and practice shows it.
- devmor 4y agoSaying "you can google it" and "it is well known" is not a sufficient source to someone challenging your claims. I'll take that to mean that these are your personal opinions and you have no data to back them up.
