So disagree then. Even though I think your suggestions are as dangerous as the bigotry, it's a part of the diversity of thought I'd like to see in an online forum. There are 2.6 billion christians in the world and 1.7 billion muslims. And according to you they should all be deplatformed. That's more than half the worlds population instantly dismissed by you as bigots because they believe in the book of fairy tales they were taught to believe in. I disagree pretty strongly with their views, but they have a right to exist on the internet. Unless they're actively organising a pogrom or a crusade, you're not helping anyone by deplatforming them. And even then, they'll just find another place to organise it - personally I'd like to keep it visible. Both as an early warning system, and as a chance to have the sunlight do the disinfecting.

I don't think all of those people hate LGBT.

And, honestly, to think that deplatforming bigotry is just as dangerous as bigotry is absurd to the point where I don't think any reasonable discussion could be had here anymore.

Running around deplatforming people who think Bad Things but haven't hurt anyone is seriously anti-enlightenment, and I think it's equally absurd you can't see the danger in it. But I am still glad that we have a place that we can have this conversation.

people who think Bad Things but haven’t hurt anyone

“People who think bad things but haven't hurt me personally, ergo they haven't hurt anyone”

Why don't you go ask trans people in Florida whether Christian bigotry has hurt them or not

Or were you just talking about physically hurting people? Because it would be naive to think that's the only way you can make someone suffer. It's also not true, Christian extremists have attacked and even killed trans people and continue to do so.

Awesome. You've definitely changed my mind. Let's get em! In the name of tolerance let us make sure there is no safe space for anyone to discuss the Bad Things. This is sure to be effective at reducing the proliferation of bad ideas, and certainly does not undermine the marketplace of ideas.
