      It’s the internet. I think it’s reasonable to say that people should be able to say things in whatever way they want to say it in. You can be serious and take part in a serious discussion, or you can joke around and not take things seriously. I think trying to constantly force everyone to speak like some chivalrous knight in shining armor gets tiring real damn fast on the internet and I think banning people for saying things ‘the way they say it’ is just an easy and convenient excuse to silence them because you don’t like the content of what they have to say.

        You need to read the room. Some subs lean more one way than another, along every axis.

        It’s not “the internet”, it’s other people, so you do need to treat them with respect, your own wishes on how to behave don’t overrule theirs. If you get banned, you obviously didn’t read the room.
