"The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference."
Elie Wiesel (1928 – 2016)
Lax doesn't really put it in perspective though. The rules on 4chan are common sense ''laws'''that protect the website from being shut down by any government worldwide. If you could plot murders, sell drugs and put childporn on the website the entire website would be banned and the people working for and posting on 4chan would be arrested.

I think it's like ''every nazi is a white supremacist but not every white supremacist is a nazi''
Some don't hate jews you know, they just hate Muslims, blacks, Latino, Asians and probably few others as well. But hating on jews is 1 step to far for some of these assholes.
True but they do have certain rules per board is all I'm saying. Like /pol/ has absolutely 0 problems with blatant racism and conspiracy theories but they do ban shit posts (how you manage that on /pol/ I've no clue as it's one giant shit post) and even vague threats against no one in particular also get banned.
Oh spare us - your ridiculous bias creeps up at almost every juncture in this discussion. Reddit banned people who deserved it, so if your "claim" was true, Reddit would act on it as well.
Trumpkins ignores their own bias and routinely fabricates "alternative facts" (that's your phrase btw - your God-King's chief spokesperson crafted it) to spin their own reality.
Take your alt-right craziness somewhere else.
Thats a start. Now alt right also should be banned from mmo-c offtopic.

Nah, T_D is allowed to exist because it keeps the members away from the rest of Reddit, to a certain extent. A huge pile of people in an environment where any dissent is insta-ban, laughing about others not being able to handle opposing views. Hypocricy is sometimes the greatest entertainment.
Sometimes, of course, some members goes away from the flock but quickly realizes no one really listens to "lol fake news libtard cucks" and goes back to their dissent-free space circlejerking about freedom of speech.
It's a bit like why fatpeoplehate was allowed to go on so long, and as soon as it was banned it caused all these toxic trolls to pollute other subs for a long time. Then again, considering the online division between Democrats/Liberals and Trump-supporters, perhaps it's not a good idea to let subreddits like TD / Politics become separated echo chambers.

Nothing lasts forever, as they say.
But at least I can casually play Classic and remember when MMORPGs were good.
