The Ban Hammer of Censorship to provide false enclaves, called "Safe Spaces".

24. Nothing wrong with needed safe spaces; plenty wrong with unneeded ones

Battered womens' shelters, minority frats, GLBT clubs, all serve a valid purpose. To allow either physical or emotional sanctuary, or both, for people facing consistent hostility demonization and marginalization from more powerful societal groups.

But silly cliqueish echo chambers set up just to avoid the horror and outrage of hearing a slightly different opinion in an internet forum from other anonymous posters who have neither more power nor an ability to harm? Utter hogwash. We even have "safe spaces" here for majorities who do the oppressing in the real world! AA groups? Go for it, but Christians ("interfaith" my ass)? What the hell do they need sanctuary from and space to safely vent against when they control every single branch of government in the US top to bottom with unassailable supermajorities and drive every single societal norm in every aspect of the public sphere? It makes as much sense as a whites safe space or straight safe space at DU. But Christ forfend somebody mock their sincerely held beliefs TM on the internet. I mean it's not like the entire site isn't set up to do that to Republicans or anything. Maybe they should get a "safe space" here too?
