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

  • Who is running these forums? Probably some Generation Z ass. I yearn for a time when people weren't so morally wrought, weren't so self-righteous.

    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.

    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.
