TBH there is no correct answer on the censorship debate. If you censor, you risk people being banned needlessly as indicated here. But if you don't, you give disgusting people a platform and they can and will use it to harm others.

The pushback against "language = violence" seems to be growing though. The other day AOC claimed swearing at a politician is violence and was ratio'd by her own supporters.

The problem with feelings = violence is the theory that citizens yield the monopoly of violence to the state (police), and thus its a short hop for the state to regulate speech.

One can suffer trauma and never have a scratch on one’s body. The struggle to define “violence” is more a shortcoming of the English language than a problem with certain people. Violence is often in the eyes of the victim.

That cannot be a societal position. You can’t prosecute or act against someone based on someone’s ‘feelings’. Even if honest, they may be unreasonable. And there will be many that are dishonest.

Sure, people are going to say crazy things. That is far from the people making these decisions using that as a criteria. Let's just agree that getting kicked off of social media for inciting violence is ok. And that hurt feelings is not equal to violence.

Aella... what is going on? Why are you spreading arguments which characterize concerns for personal safety as mere hurt feelings?
