yeah but if you do this you become like them...

only if being gay or black is as much of a CHOICE as posting racist shit on the internet...

posting poorly drawn meme is a choice for anyone

this logic would be sound if there was a large market for social media with a wide range of providers and platforms to choose from.

but social media is different because all social media companies are quasi-monopolists for their field of social media - facebook is the monopolist on classical social networks, twitter is the monopolist on short-message services, instagram is the monopolist on image-driven self-presentation, and so on.

if a restaurant kicks you out for whatever reason, there will be other restaurants as functionally equivalent and similarly "efficient" alternatives to fall back on.
by contrast, if you get banned by facebook, twitter, instagram, you are effectively cut out from one of the major modern ways of communication, with no alternatives which are anywhere near as efficient.

exercising property rights vs calling opinions i dont agree with racism, resulting in banning people against my own policy (if we do it, its fine)

its not even remotely comparable

who's that girl? those legs

aaaand the usual suspects come to the defence of their fellow triggered bigots. that meme was very effective indeed...

I know, she's hot af.


/e TGIF. Thigh gap is fine.
