Sorry, was all that meant to address me directly? I'm not a straight anything. White? Sure. Dude? I have mixed feelings. I'm not here to play privilege bingo, though, or any sort of bingo. I'm on Hubski because I think it's a great place for thoughtful discussion. I didn't take philosophy or have a professor with a ponytail and I don't think they really have "freshmen" at community college. Why are you engaging in so much rampant generalization? Anyway, it's not as though the only things being muted are racist, misogynistic, or transphobic. Personally, those are reasons why I would mute someone. Do you genuinely believe that there are no discussions to be had about splintering or chilling effects on discussion caused by frivolous muting?
