Of course, I understand the impetus to piggyback a grievance on phrases like "white supremacist", which used to mean something. But these days their non-ironic use really tells us something about the person using it.

How about software diversity, where one doesn't have to use either iOS or Android to function in the modern world? Or have to use Chrome OS at school, etc. We have no real freedom there unless we want to face significant difficulties.
Your kind of ignorance is so tiresome. It's one of the best arguments for doing away with democracy altogether.
What does this tell you?
Maybe after this rematch the blue team will finally understand the loss was their fault, so they can start moving away from the abominable ideology and spiteful elitism that handed them this result.
You may not like Israel but the word 'genocide' is being abused here, and this whole ICJ ruling is theater.
In places like China, there's personal accountability at the highest level of an org for major screw ups - sometimes even capital punishment.
If we put such options on the table here, perhaps corporations would be a little less callous with people's private data, and a little less eager to collect it.
Not even close to true. Most countries in the world are more racist than Germany.

In other words, some people find comfort and meaning in the familiarity of relative ignorance, especially when that ignorance is culturally shared. Processing new and contrary information is uncomfortable.
But no one has the right to insist that others validate their own ignorance, which is effectively what equating skepticism with violence is. And these days, at the extreme, you may even be accused of trying to "erase" someone if you question their cherished ignorance.
And yes, everyone is ignorant, although not equally. One true mark of a person is how they navigate and synthesize new information. Seeking better knowledge is directional, even if it's also asymptotic.
If a piece of content is moderated, it should remain in place and be clearly labeled with an explanation from the TOS.
Exceptions: If the moderated content is spam it can be collapsed. If it's illegal, it can be removed.
We already have some titles that signal achievement, like Doctor. I'd be for introducing more of them. Maybe we can get rid of the hereditary ones, too.
They can believe whatever they want, but they don't get to demand validation from anyone who's not willing to freely give it.
This pronoun nonsense is as much of a coercion as it is a kindness. I won't participate.
