No. Hearing and seeing things you don't like is part of the price you pay for free speech.
I don't ever plan on subscribing to or looking at /v/niggers, /v/coontown, /v/jailbait, etc. So why should I worry about being smeared by the opinions of others that I will never meet.

While I do agree to this by logical reasoning, I can't say I feel good about it.
It's a verry good question though @Drifus_McGee! :)

I totally agree with you there. Being exposed to views and things beyond your own comfort zone is a part of life, we shouldn't expect to explore something as vast as the internet and then cry for protection from hostile views. Doing that in real life will get you laughed at, why should it be different here?

Wow, the dark side shows up pretty fast. Plenty of others I'm not going to mention are already here as well.
Edit: OMG THERE'S A V/BOBROSS ALREADY! WOOT!

The dark side appeared not necessarily because people wanted the content, but as a not-so-subtle "fuck you" to reddit.
