>>9288357i wouldn't be so sure it's all that popular. the people posting on reddit and such are 100% inline with the currently acceptible discourse so they enjoy complete freedom to post about how hard they agree with it. but the people who don't agree with it and might think like you aren't so free to post whatever they like. sure they might not face any legal reprecussions but downboats and social pressure has always been a thing. just because you won't go to jail for expressing your opinion, doesn't mean youre equally as free to post as the faggot who's just a cheerleader for the mainstream moral view.
i think this is related to your point about forums. i think in general in forums the opinions that will win out will be the opinions of the mods, who in most cases are free to delete and censor and ban whatever opinions they don't like. and even if the mods themselves aren't extremist, they're unilikely to ban and censor or even push back against people who agree REALLY HARD with them. same with >society
