1 Does the fact that this website supports free speech make it your Safe Space? 2 Do you want protection from hard conversations and if people can disagree here without being banned, does that create real dialogue or cause harm? 3 When rules stop personal attacks but allow controversial ideas, does that help you grow stronger, or leave you unprotected? 4 Is a space truly "safe" when anyone can speak freely, or is it only safe when difficult speech is supported and people are heard without fear?
1. no2a. no2b. creates discussion3. it doesn't "help you grow stronger" nor "leave you unprotected". i could see it possibly creating better discussion4a. no?4b. no? but sounds like good discussion
>>42184234What's a safe space? You forgot to define it>1 Does the fact that this website supports free speech make it your Safe Space?Its not really somewhere you can retreat to if you feel uncomfortable, and 4chan's (((free speech))) doesnt contribute to that either way, so no>2 Do you want protection from hard conversations and if people can disagree here without being banned, does that create real dialogue or cause harm?I want to be protected from having to have the same hard conversation 20 times over. Im 5% of the population, fielding the same retarded fundie propoganda every day is extremely tiring, we should have a stickyFurthermore, you seem to assume that this is a place for /pol/fags to fight about lgbt politics rather than a place for an lgbt community to exist revolving around its own internal topics. We dont exist to satisfy your curiosity, you're an invasive pest here. And yet im answering you anyway in the spirit of free dialogue>3 When rules stop personal attacks but allow controversial ideas, does that help you grow stronger, or leave you unprotected?I dont come to 4chan to be safe from insults. I come here to access an anonymous lgbt community. Only behavior that disrupts that function should be moderated>4 Is a space truly "safe" when anyone can speak freely, or is it only safe when difficult speech is supported and people are heard without fear?Neither? Thats the definition of like, an open forum of ideas. A safe space doesnt perform any of those functions, its role is to provide security to an individual
>>42184340>What's a safe space? You forgot to define ittypically its circle jerk, echo chambers like Reddit and other controlled spaces. but the reality is it might not be safe unless you can explore difficult ideas and have difficult conversations
>>421842344chan is a safe space, but it's not free speech alone that makes it safe.being able to say anything you want in public is not enough, because other people can use THEIR free speech to form coalitions to persecute you.twitter cancellations were a good example of this. cancellations and debankings and firings were free speech in action! you had the free speech to say you liked trump and other people had the free speech to get you fired from your job and lose your healthcare and possibly die. we had free speech and nobody liked the consequences.real free speech is speech without consequences.the important thing on 4chan is the anonymity. this is the safest website of them all to express an opinion, because we are anon. only anonymity is real free speech because only anonymity frees you from the consequences of your speech.

>>42184234>1.no, and it doesn't really, anyways, on this board. disrespectful posts, for example, are not allowed. this is, however, a good thing.>2.no. hard conversations are good, and people should be able to disagree without being banned.>3.i don't think it does either, really, but it's good policy. maybe it helps one "grow stronger" intellectually, by providing an effective medium for discussion. this place is not that, though. see >>42184340.>4.are these mutually exclusive? i think a safe space protects its "users"(?) from deliberate and targeted harassment and torment. i think that both free speech and support for difficult speech are good things.
>>42184234i used to feel that reddit was a usable website. these days i get permabanned from subreddits left and right for saying something slightly off-topic or off-color. my 10 year old account was nuked for posting a picture of a guillotine on the spanish subreddit in a thread asking about our opinion on the princess.
>>42184538which is to say, i like that 4chan isn't like this. i also don't have to worry about my digital footprint (as much). i can tune out the bigoted stuff, and even though im a very progressive lefty, i even think the bigoted stuff helps keep the advertisers and strict content policies away
Well I come here for the honesty, I like that people here can tell me to go choke on a dick whenever they feel like it, kinda forged me into a better person.
>>42184234neat let's feed a data miner1. it's that and the lack of accounts and social/phone shit that makes this my 'safe space'2. hard no, zero harm. words ain't shit3. it lets you speak, like protected from what lol words on a screen?4. if there is no mechanisms for mass restricting posts or promoting some above others then the safe space is a about as free as you can get it
>>42184544a NIGGER a day keeps the corpos away xD
>>42184790dude youre on the gay board choking on a dick isnt an insult heremaybe if somebody told you to go choke on a pussy lmao
Kinda. I can come here and say pretty much whatever and never be known. There's a comfort in that.
