I seem to recall that there was a dislike of liberalism and more modern western ideologies of today (in fact there was some authoritarian sympathies in this region by a few nations). Strangely enough now some of you cling to some liberal values as sacred all of the sudden, when your track record showed your disgust of such values.

"Freedom of Speech" is one such value that is extremely misunderstood. I studied constitutional law so I am well acquainted how freedom of speech has been understood with an American context. Freedom of speech is essentially a right that is applied to the government. To simplify, In the American experience freedom of speech means that the government cannot restrict your speech unless it falls under a few criteria (it doesn't stop private individuals/firms from restricting the speech of other private individuals/firms). When freedom of speech is restricted by the state, the state has to provide a justification that usually falls under "security".

This region is part of an online game. No one is obligated to follow anything except the rules imposed by the website. As for this region, yes this region was one of discussions but keep in mind that this region is under the ownership of the founder, and they are fully in their right to impose anything if it respects the site's rules, just as we are to make our own region and leave. In this particular case, suppressions are practically a cosmetic, real censorship is outright deletion.

As for the dialogue that is being defended, some of it is just outright hostility. Meaningful dialogue stops being Meaningful when you begin to attack others directly by race or character. Some of you can't claim that there was a grave injustice after you use your platform to belittle others.

[I'm purposely not referring to the jury comment. I am very opposed to your point of view on this topic Prudentias but I didn't find it to be outright egregious enough that needed a suppression]
