it should be noted that the nuisances are present on both sides of the illusionary 'ideological' (to give it a grand name it doesn't deserve) divide. The crusaders on both sides are very much mirror images of each other, and at base are motivated more by whim than commitment as to which side they choose. Both can be sickening and drive mature people away in droves.

Not all of them. Many just do it to be edgy or "for the lulz." I had a black acquaintance in high school who was entertained by the racist lingo among other things on /b/.

I've got most of the racist and fat coats blocked, so I don't see it, but strongly believe they should have as much right to speak as anyone. I'm anti feminist anti SJW and I am perfectly happy with anyone who dislikes SJW topics not sharing that with me. I feel like this is the only place I can come to express it and read about it without banning and mass downvoating. Not that it goes unchallenged, but VOAT has given me a voice. SJW can fuck off back to reddit. I do not want to engage with them, because I've learned they do not usually engage reasonably, and they have the rest of the Internet.

He's not exactly wrong. There has been a major flareup of negativity and overt racism here lately. And people are shoehorning every discussion into complaining about SJWs. I don't like SJWs either, but you know what the best way to beat them is? Getting on with your life and engaging in witty discussion about other topics as if they weren't under your skin.

Seriously, those are all the people I don't want to see on VOAT. People like that see a couple things and then project that on the entire platform aka SRS.

False. The SJW hate movement is having a very difficult time getting anywhere on Voat. We have them under control.
I agree with what this dude said.
Here is an example.

SRS & SJW trying to get things censored on mass scale here on Voat like on Reddit & it's not gonna work.

Not going to lie but...
I kinda dig all that bigotry. Its a breath of fresh air that you can't really find anywhere else other then /pol.
