If you support free speech, you must support people pinging other users. It's completely legal speech. If you won't defend pinging as free speech because you or someone else finds it disgusting, then no speech that you or anyone else views as disgusting is safe.

if it is in fact on shaky legal ground it's reasonable to not want to be the case that establishes it as illegal.

It's not, The reddit admins are straight up lying to the ignorant (like yourself) to justify their prejudice. Pinging being protected speech has long since been estabilished, as it has undeniable artistic merit. The only time it's been included under any obscenity laws is when someone is being charged with possession of harassment, so the state can slap them with more charges. The courts have been very careful to not charge anyone for pinging, because they'd get their asses fucking annihilated by a higher court due to the firm precedence of pinging being completely legal speech. /r/Drama had nothing to worry about, this guy was just making shit up to fool people into thinking his censoring wasn't entirely personally motivated.

That entire subreddit is a cesspool. It's like a sewer that empties directly into a stagnant pond.

Radical centrism isn’t just taking the perfect center position between any two contradicting positions. That’s only the stereotype that leftards have of radical centrism.

By “contradicting” I don’t mean inconsistent, I mean “opposed to each other”.

My point is that you can’t take any two positions, strike an arbitrary middle ground between them, and call that “radical centrism”. If position A is “kill all niggers” and position B is “don’t do that”, it doesn’t make “only kill some niggers and send the rest back to Africa” a centrist position by default. That’s literally what chapotards and r/ENLIGHTENEDCENTRISM think centrism is.

I don't follow. What's your point

Here’s a summary:

You=big dumb

Now I need the cuckservative take!
