It's a tricky prospect, trying to balance hate speech and distinguishing it from someone simply expressing bad thoughts.
I guess I'm someone who came with a lot of poor, preconceived notions, and it took some time, patience, and radicalizing to arrive where I am today.
I've had some pretty awful takes over the years and said insensitive things, but it's other comrades who turned me on to better ideas.
Maybe I’m oversimplifying, but I feel like it’s pretty clear to tell when someone has a bad take vs uses a slur as an insult.
I don’t think there’s any interest in banning someone who accidentally used a problematic word without realizing it. When it’s used in bad faith it’s usually more obvious
Part of the problem too is that some people spend way too much time on shit places like 4chan where people use f*g and the n word liberally even when their heart is in the right place. It takes time to for these people to understand that it's really not that cool
