This started over on a gay web page when someone posted a quoted piece saying if you don't date outside of you're own ethnicity you are racist.
Aside from the fact that as a gay man, anyone making moral judgements on who I choose to date raises all sorts of historical red flags, and aside from the fact there's been occassions where I have fancied other minorities I disagreed with the statement. this unleashed a torrent of invective including such gems as 'careful white boy you don't get to have an opinion on these things' and accusations of white privelege and white fragility by one of the more woke and irksome members there. He's dating a white, older priveleged male by the way so sure he benefits from all that.
Then antifa got mentioned and I expressed an opinion that they are a bunch of thugs much like Hitlers brown shirts and that I neither support or admire those on either side of the extreme political spectrum. This went down like JK Rowling at a drag bar, cries of nazi, racist and much clutching of imaginary pearls
So what is it? You have to be totally on board and uncritical of any left/marxist doctrine being peddled - of which I happily say I'm not-or else you default to fully paid up member of the Hitler Youth.
This is getting scary, I don't think this is just a tinternet thing any more. Fuck the extreme left and fuck the extreme right. What happened to moderate liberal democracy.

There is no such thing as complete free speech, we have laws and regulations, but it seems some cant tolerate people giving honest opinions even when they are not disrespecting or insulting to others.
As for dating....no one can tell you who you are attracted to, as long as it's legal it's no one else's business.

Which is what's scary about the way cancel culture and the erosion of free speech is becoming more and more of a problem.

It's a lot more noticeable on the internet than in real life in my experience.
Little despots hide behind their computers and feel they have the right to tell others what to do, say and think.....best ignored.

I hope you're right Syl. I have my doubts but I hope you're right.

It is scary. There's a kind of hysterical fanaticism that reminds me of the Nazi Party.

Its the same for lesbians who don't want to date/have sex with men who have not "yet" ( nor ever will) transitioned into women. its been going on for them for a few years now. The hate they get is very scary.
No, it's not just on the internet and its spreading very fast. You are allowed any opinion as long as its one the left agrees with. I won't even say far left, as it's not anymore. I say that as a life long leftie who every day now keeps saying WTAF is going on.

By all accounts the trolling is very dry over there. So he thinks he can start here.

That is spot on - the extreme left and the extreme right are no different and I find all this obliterating of history rather frightening, even on the many science sites I read so many of the stories are now about the evil's done in the past big the big bad White Man (Smithsonian and National Geographic in particular) I don't want to be preached at for things that happened centuries ago and have absolutely nothing to do with me.
