Absolutely everyone deserves their say, no matter how crazy. The problem is that the SJW idea of "having my say" is that the existence of their opinions is mutually exclusive with allowing their thoughts to be on equal footing. They are known to use numbers and influence to eliminate competing thought, because they know they have no way of competing in a market ideas. They go so far as to (proudly and outspokenly) engage in Astroturfing to suppress Wrong Thinking, which is what many people suspect you of attempting right now.

I wouldn't phrase it as chasing shadows so much as crying out before struck. People don't want to see this community (by which I mean Voat as well as this sub) turned into Leddit 2 by sacrificing quality of posts for a higher level of activity. As such, people who have had many communities shit on by SJWs (who are a very real thing) are unhappily suspicious of anything that smacks of astroturfing for any goal. I think what's happening here is that people are having trouble assuming good faith because they have been burned before.

You argue like a Redditor.
I have no faith in this subverse.

And how does a Redditor argue?
Are you seriously arguing that people shouldn't be given equal chance to speak on the basis of ideology? My point is that I believe everyone should have a chance to speak. If certain people are banned, or gagged because of their ideology, then it's not really free speech. It's "free speech" for the fortunate ones who are in with the "right" attitude, and silence or at best limited speech for the others. It's not right. If you want a website that's about free speech, you have to accept that everyone gets a chance to speak.

He's being sarcastically elitist. Of course everyone should have a place to talk, but the problem is when people feel entitled to their opinions, they likewise feel entitled to have their opinion be immune from criticism. That is the problem with 'SJW' spaces, they tend to be little more than pseudo-intellectual circlejerks and echochambers.

I said that the sub shouldn't be modded by a SJW, you go off on a tirade about this place being a safe space. Fuck safe spaces. Safe spaces = censorship.
I already said that I am against censorship. SJW are pro censorship. Just because I say this subverse needs a nonSJW moderation team, you assume that I mean an antiSJW moderation team. Just don't ban or censor people for being offensive.. and stop being so defensive.
