Free speech isn't some magic phrase that exists in a vacuum. All online communities have restrictions on what can be said (most basically, violent threats as an example). Say whatever you want, but be ready to accept those consequences.

Maybe this is a bad assumption, but I would guess you're from the US (like me). Our First Amendment protects our speech from "Government Interference" (still not totally true, but w/e). Free Speech doesn't mean consequence free speech in various spaces.

Regardless, you admitted earlier you're upset you can't use slurs so this is probably falling on deaf ears...
