Honestly, I'm tired of toxic positivity invading everything. I'd rather people grow thicker skins when it comes to speech. actual hate speech (such as suggesting murder of specific groups) and things of that nature should absolutely be banned; but insults are meant to be demeaning, that's the point of them. Thankfully I hear children in the streets calling each other gay, fat, ugly as an insult, so I think they'll be okay. But my viewpoint is probably skewed as fuck, because I've been on the internet since I was 14 and have had to deal with the worst of it since day 1. Misgendering and/or Deadnaming someone isn't hate speech.
Friends calling each other names is not the same
I'm not talking about friends. I'm talking about completely random strangers on the internet.
