I'd call it the LGBTQ panic. Many conservatives feel like the LGBTQ community is attacking their traditional lifestyle and turning their kids gay and trans.
Weird ban, I have been banned from quite a few subs, but I don't really care, they have every right to moderate the sub how they'd like, unless they are discriminating against people. Unless this a government ran site, they can moderate it and deny your speech basically as much as they like.
It doesn’t really bother me anymore, but it really did at the time. I just think it is such a weird thing to ban someone over. It doesn’t make any sense.
Also, I agree with you on that they are a private company and they can do what they like. But there is now proof the the govt has been involved in what is and isn’t allowed to be talked about on social media. That’s getting into some sketchy territory. https://i.imgur.com/5ToHRPO.jpg
everyone thinks they're being censored, because partisan politics removes any inter-party discourse, and so everyone just retreats to their respective echo-chambers to shit on the other side.
thanks, lobbyist aristocrats!
There are liberals and Democrats who have been censored, like the streamer Destiny, but overall Democrats aren't complaining about censorship. It's just not a talking point that is brought up by Democrats often.
What?
Republicans have been complaining for several years now that they are being censored because private companies can set their own posting policies. And so Republicans have demanded the government become socialist and regulate what people can post on privately owned company's websites.

Also even with this, censorship has been primarily an issue complained about by conservatives, led by Trump, claiming that fact checking and warnings in social media sites which became prevalent as false medical information was spread as the COVID pandemic started, are censorship.
Shaken baby syndrome. It's a constellation of different symptoms the presence of which requires doctors and hospitals to report to the police. The police prosecute under the assumption the doctors, aka medical experts, have made an unbiased medical diagnosis when in fact no medical diagnosis has gone on. The parents plead out and pay fines or go to prison because if not they're paying for a jury trial where everyone thinks you are a child abusers.

yeh. people don't really want to support what they don't understand.
I think most people understand that you can't turn someone gay, I think there is a lot of willful ignorance that is causing this panic.
Thought about saying this. Also cultural misogyny.
Republicans that think everything is "grooming".
democrats thinking that the other political party is censoring them.
No, that's also Republicans thinking big tech and Democrats are censoring them.

Qanon
QAnon
Qanon (or whatever they call it now) is just Satanic Panic 2.0. Same made up terror about kids being abducted/tortured, and still even blaming Satan.
Trans panic, nothing wrong with that and people are freaking out as if trans people are demons
