This subreddit's acronym is TINASS.

Soon SRS will be complaining about Tin Assers all being degenerates.

Are there any better suggestions for a community moniker?

So a little preface, I consider myself a feminist, and work in general on the spreading of information (I work in graphic design). Secondly, I agree that institutional censorship is obviously dumb, you should be legally allowed to say whatever you want.

However, I tend to think that most people who are against "political correctness" enjoy being mean in general, and don't like having their options questioned. I don't spend a lot of time on the internet debating people (I find that the worst people will always be the one's that want to debate on the internet, no matter what their political agenda is), and so I don't really ever come into contact with people with ideologies outside my own circle.

So I guess my question is just this: while obviously censorship is wrong, do you also disagree with something being taboo at a social level? For example, it was (and still is, largely)taboo to say "Fuck" in places, though it isn't actually illegal to. In a similar way, would you support the legality of "hate speech", but letting people react accordingly? I'm thinking that this would probably end up with shaming and/or some other type of public ridicule for antiquated ideas.

I'm open to discussion, so please feel free to explain your point of view.

Hello all

Im trying to prove a point to a skeptical friend about postmodernists and regressives. Im looking for examples of academics, professors, university administrators, or journalists claiming science is patriarchal, white supremacist, or both. Im also looking for examples of these people claiming rationalism, academic rigor, empiricism, or anything related is patriarchal or white supremacist.

I can remember some stories or examples from the last few years but I know Im forgetting a lot. Ive gone back through this sub a little over a year. Im not finding much.

Any help would be appreciated

Thank you

Edit: Grammar and to add stuff.

Hi all

Im not sure if this belongs here. Here is a video regarding science as a social construction a nd a tweet by Neil Degrasse Tyson. I thought this might make for an interesting discussion.
