This has nothing to with PC. It's about respecting other humans.
As I explicitly said, I actually don't care if you (impersonal "you", obviously!) post vile hateful content (and I support your right to do so), but I also think we should encourage everyone to counter those posts, everywhere we see them.
> There isn't one contiguous unit called society that has norms. Groups, cliques, races, ethnicities are all social constructs that have varying mores and values. No one will agree on what is acceptable.
Well, actually we do. It's called "law". We have this continual process of refinement, repeals, further refinements that leads to some approximation of what "society" deems acceptable. Thus we have "hate speech" laws, and such.
> So if you feel you want to enforce your own personal beliefs on others, that is fine
Oh, fuck off.
