And I love it when you bunch come out with censorship immediately proving my point.

It does mean people have the right to hear, and When high profile people are able to censor it is taking away from the open market of ideas as much as any government, sure, you specifically do not have to argue anything, and I am ok with that but it is a fine line to censorship, including for other political powers or corporations, it happens in real life with real influencers all the time.
First things first, what is a government? Because many corporations have more soft and hard power than the majority of all governments through history, the same can be said about certain influencers, is it simply the Monopoly on violence? Because that seems awfully arbitrary and means any bully is a government, I would argue the principal behind it is far more important than some arbitrary definition of government that even international bodies don’t agree on.
Second thing second, sure, many, people argue in bad faith, many are improper many are etc but certainly not all and certainly not every influencer or company should be the absolute arbiter of Truth and moral.
This would be true if exactly the two people are involved but after that you are not the only one affected, also who is to say they are a troll or have a valid opinion? If it is an individual then that is definitionally a totalitarian.
No, free speech means you have the right to speak, if you’re talking about some government I don’t know of it is irrelevant.
True, but isn’t that the definition of a totalitarian?
They branded me when I started working as well, when I quit they locked the door handed me a knife and said that I was in violation of copyright, all in all not the worst day at work.

The word deviant doesn’t have a concrete meaning in scientific terms.
So, no—objectively speaking, gay people are not “deviant,” since morality is a human construct. (And even if it weren’t, that would be a philosophical question.)
The best way I could reframe this question is:
A. Are we evolutionarily predisposed to find people with alternative* sexual preferences distasteful or unpleasant?
B. Are alternative* sexual preferences evolutionarily harmful to society?
C. Are alternative* sexual preferences harmful to an individual’s own evolutionary success?
D. If any of the above are true, is the psychological or societal damage so detrimental—either to the individual or to society—that it would still be preferable to engage in alternative* sexual desires?
In this context, “alternative” refers to anything outside of a heterosexual relationship. However, these questions can be narrowed down to whatever specific sexual preferences you are inquiring about.
I won’t offer my own opinion on this, nor will I present any scientific evidence. But I will say this: I don’t think the issue is as black and white as some might assume.
stupidcasey@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is it weird to sometimes wonder whether everything you know is wrong?3·21 hours agoYou should always Question everything, If someone tells you not to question it, question it Harder.
If it is the Truth then it doesn’t matter if you Question it or not, and nobody should care if you question it
If it’s a Lie, then You need to know why you’re being lied to, you need to know who benefits from it, you need to know if the Lie was worth suppression of the Truth.
If your life is truly better with the Lie it is always better to know and make that decision for yourself, never let others dictate what you believe because it is better for them, If you are going to follow a Lie make sure it is in your best interest. Because anyone will tell you a lie to help themselves but no one will willingly work against their own self interest.

I agree, not the best and full of missed opportunity.
I like a man who knows what he wants and isn’t afraid to ask.
Fair point, but the traffic compared to the vast majority of socal networks is irrelevant to say the least.
