      Because it breaks Rule 1

      Refrain from using harmful language pertaining to a protected characteristic: e.g. race, gender, sexuality, disability or religion.

          A little bit of cultural linguistics going on really. Even though the texts are also calling OOP gay and queer, and doing so with the same amount of vitriol as with the f-slur, they aren’t recognized as emotionally charged in the same way. All the other cursing is not hate speech per se as it’s not directly targeting any immutable characteristics.

          I’m not happy with any of the depicted harassment in the image (fake or not), it just not that funny. If you want to see what happens if you have a descenting opinion though, you can see my massively downvoted post below.

            That’s ridiculous, quoting harassment is in no way itself harassment. That would undo just about every awareness campaign ever.

              Depends on the reason for the quote. Awareness campaigns quote them as examples of what not to do. There is a clear intention to tell the audience “Watch out for this, avoid it, this is wrong.”

              The punchline in this example is an encouragement to harass people because it’s funny.

          I’m curious, what exactly does this mean? Wdym by hate speech, and are you saying it doesn’t exist?
