Broadly speaking, you probably agree with the large majority of the views commonly attributed to whichever group you identify with - what are the exceptions? Something that if you mention without a caveat immediately makes people jump to conclusions or even attack you?

That Lemmy can be just as bigoted, hostile, and close-minded as the sites it set out to replace; it drives out views which aren't in line with the gestalt majority. This thread, then, mostly gets answers which are on the mildest end because those who actually hold opinions out of step with the majority know damn well not to speak up, or, well... be immediately othered.

Bigotry against the bigoted isn't bigotry.

Care to provide specific examples? I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just curious as to what things about this place that you consider to be "bigoted". Because my experience has been that the opinions that aren't tolerated here are themselves the bigoted opinions.

Look back on my profile at the recent comment where I mentioned Johnny Depp being a disgusting drunk rapist who groomed a woman half his age and sued her for defaming him when she spoke about the backlash she received for speaking out against his domestic abuse.

Oh man, to test this, just go somewhere and defend women. You'll be destroyed.
