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.
The GOP is much more tactical about this stuff. For example Evangelicals know Trump isn't a great example of an Evangelical, we don't even know if he is actually Christian, but Trump is producing results like the Supreme Court so Evangelicals cheer him on. It also helps that Republicans are much more homogeneous idelogically than Democrats.
Democrats on the other hand are really a large coalition, a big tent party of various groups, some of which don't even like each other and barely make an effort to pretend to.
Democrats believe than muslims and gays will get along. They even think that muslims and jews will get along. Their core diversity ideals are what is killing them.
This is true, it’s a bunch of groups that hate each other. White women who hate men, latinas who hate whites, black women who hate whites, Latinos, and black men, gay black women who hate everyone, etc etc.
A lot of hate in the Democratic Party. Like one big hate group
