Shouldn't users have the liberty to tailor their gaming experiences according to their personal preferences, especially in a game known for its moddability? It's also important to note that not everyone who might use such a mod is necessarily doing so with the intent of exclusion.

In response to the point you've raised, the issue of platform moderation does involve a complex balance between allowing diversity of opinion and restricting what is considered harmful or intolerant. However, it's crucial to note that not all forms of censorship or moderation are created equal.

Your argument posits that the 'Kill All Children' mod and the pronoun-removal mod are qualitatively different, based on the intent or impact behind them. The latter, you say, has real-world implications, as it aims to negate the existence of a specific group, while the former is seen as "extremely unpleasant role-playing" that isn't necessarily a call for real-world action against children.

Yet, the stance seems to be rooted in the assumption that everyone who would use the pronoun-removal mod does so with malicious intent to deny the existence of non-binary or transgender people. While that might be true for some, it could also simply be a matter of personal preference for others, without carrying any ideological baggage.

The use of Popper's paradox of tolerance in this discussion is intriguing but might oversimplify the complexities involved in moderating a digital platform. While intolerance shouldn't be tolerated, determining what constitutes 'intolerance' is often subjective and open to interpretation. Therefore, it's crucial for platform moderators to engage in transparent and reasoned decision-making processes when determining what is allowed and what is not.

Your last point suggests that it's not just permissible but necessary to restrict the free speech of those considered intolerant to protect free speech for all. However, this approach can easily lead to a slippery slope where the definition of 'intolerance' becomes malleable, potentially leading to an erosion of the very free speech rights that the policy aims to protect.

The issue is not straightforward, and the boundaries of what should or shouldn't be tolerated in an online community are often fluid. Thus, there remains a need for a nuanced conversation around these topics, which goes beyond labelling something as intolerant and calling for its suppression.

I understand that the topic at hand is emotionally charged and has been the subject of intense political debate. However, it appears that my original intent might have been misunderstood. I'm not advocating for or against the mod in question.

Instead, my focus is on the criteria that platform moderators use to decide what content should or should not be allowed. This discussion is not about endorsing intolerance but about understanding how these moderation decisions are made. I believe that it is possible to discuss this aspect without necessarily taking a stance on the mod's content itself.

I'd like to clarify that my argument is centered around the role of platform moderation and how they determine what content crosses ethical or moral lines. While you've offered an extreme example with the hypothetical mod that removes black people, the comparison doesn't precisely align with the mod under discussion.

I used the 'Kill All Children' mod for Skyrim as an example to point out inconsistencies in moderation decisions. The objective is to question where the line should be drawn and who gets to draw it, not to endorse intolerant or bigoted views.

Stereotyping people and overgeneralizing things without actually debating your point is ridiculous. Grow up man.

Real question, what's wrong with Rogan? I get that he says some things that I might not agree with myself, but he's still fun to watch in my opinion.
