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.

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/.
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.

Ah. You noticed too, huh? It's weird how the most negative stories about Voat are from very new accounts, too.
Also, there is currently a spammy seeming post on r/Voat about CP on Voat. Now, I told the guy off and so did my SO. Somehow, he(my SO) was banned from r/Voat though over his comment. He contacted the mods and they haven't responded to him about his ban.
Basically, his post called out the guy's post, got 4 upvotes pretty rapidly, and then disappeared. Considering that the mods of r/Voat are pretty anti Reddit and pro-voat(supposedly), I find the whole thing odd.

Check out the difference between the archived copy and the live link. Sangers_baby and I had top tier comments and have since been brigaded all the way down.

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.
