If this were a Canadian-run board & project we wouldn't even be having this debate. The haters would just be banned, full stop. There wouldn't be a discussion or debate. Even our most right-wing party isn't trying to repeal trans rights (though they don't want much new ones really). When Scheer couldn't say what he really thought about LGBTs, it destroyed all electability in urban centers.
It's a bit sad America is about 20 years behind the rest of the Western world dealing with diversity. Well perhaps not in the big cities but you get the point. This isn't some sort of superiority take, but more one of disappointment.
And while RnF is just RnF, it's doubly disappointing that it's so rife in the playerbase in a way it wasn't a few years ago. Mods should grow a set and just put it all down. Bigotry/hate isn't discourse. And it's a bad look for the project when it resembles 4chan more than a friendly social group.
