Criticism isn’t censorship.
When I see these articles here, I make a bet with myself:
I laughed out loud at how utterly stereotypical a top comment this is. Like, EXACTLY what every single reader was expecting when they scrolled down. It’s so perfectly expected, I’m not sure it isn’t sarcastic.
If saying “I don’t like this, please change it” is censorship, then what do I make of your post, which says you don’t like feminists so they should change their actions?
Except being gay isn’t a choice? You aren’t born with a “being shitty to women” gene.

I KNOW I CAN DO IT. I JUST DON’T FEEL LIKE IT.
Robert E. Howard is dead. We can’t tell him to stop being a crap author with creepy ideas about women. We can hold people living in 2016 to the “don’t be a dickhead” standard.
So if I wanted to reintroduce minstrel shows, replete with blackface and insulting representations of African-Americans, back into the pop culture consciousness, people should be directing their distaste to the people in the 1800s who created it, not me, for only faithfully adhering to the spirit of the genre?
At this point, I’m taking bets on when a truck full of kittens saved from being drowned in a river and driven by Malala Yousafzai gets rear-ended into a train carrying TNT and crude oil by a van full of child rapists and hedge fund managers who were on their way to meeting President Trump to discuss buying a…
Next you’ll be telling me to make my own guac. No thanks, Jeb!
