Saying somebody looks like a lesbian is NOT hate speech, even if done disparagingly.

    What are you referencing?


    In any case, this is the dictionary definition of hate speech: "noun. speech, writing, or nonverbal communication that attacks, threatens, or insults a person or group on the basis of national origin, ethnicity, color, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, or disability: The racist graffiti was condemned as hate speech."


    So verbally attacking someone based on their perceived sexual orientation actually does fit the definition. Hate speech is not illegal though, at least not in the US, courts have repeatedly ruled that outlawing hate speech would violate the first amendment.

    yeah your right! it's not illegal but the forum rules clearly state no hate speech


    also op is quite vague, so we have no clue what they said/created this issue so its hard to comment. I trust the mods here tho to be fair.

    The letter as a pfp (type 1)--> I just made this account today, I've been a guest for about a year now. I really really HATE BTS, I love to ask questions like, "why are BTS declining?" even though there are already 50 threads about that. I first start off like a typical troll, but as you peel off more layers of me, I start to show you my darkside.

    The letter as a pfp (type 2) ---> blackpink, blackpink. That's all I ever talk about. I was a guest, but it got boring after a day or two, so I made…

    Yeah, private companies like allkpop are allowed to have whatever rules they want regarding what is appropriate content. OP just sounds like a troll, I haven't noticed any problems with overzealous mods on here.
