What I take from what he's saying is not that nasty words should be forbidden, but that people should know what effect those nasty words have, and also be aware that those nasty words can be weaponized by the opposition to keep regular people away.

I agree that the nastiness of voat can keep regular people away. The question is whether it's being used by the opposition to keep people away from Voat. I don't know of any way to really determine that other than dissatisfied shills leaking information about what they're being paid to do, along with proof of some sort. I know there are paids shills on the Internet, but I have no idea of the extent of the problem.
