 While that might seem okay (and it might be okay for you), not being proactive means that it still enables this stuff and it can routinely spill over anyway.

+This is worsened by the fact that part of these groups' ideology is often that debate (or whatever they think it is at least) is boundless and that people do not have the right to putting up personal boundaries, which results in a lot of behaviour that looks and acts basically like harassment.
 
-Other people charitably call it 'channer culture' or call it by the way *they* frame it, which is ""free-speech zone"". I'd rather not label them on their own terms, especially when they don't actually give a shit about the free speech of women, racial minorities, trans people, queer people, etc. (it can vary between the groups, but there's always at least one of these kinds of groups they would like to deprive the rights of).
+This usually results in vulnerable groups being targeted for lots of really dumbass interjections involving debunked psuedoscientific claims (like non-binary people don't exist and that gender is determined by chromosomes). It's not even good-faith responses, it's bad-faith interjections that are often intended to antagonise and pathologise people. They really don't give a shit about debate because they already believe in a certain assortment of personal truths and they won't be content to keep it to themselves when asked to.

-`A-FVZ` instances are often naive in what they say about this issue, believing that all forms of speech can coexist, even when some forms of speech (like hate speech), naturally inhibit or exclude other forms of speech. So even if they claim not to, they have sided with these people in what they are doing.

+
+To give these people the grace of letting them call themselves free speech advocates is discrediting the very nature of free speech. We can do much better, and blocking a bunch of whiny, harrassing pseudointellectuals dressing up regressive talking points as radical ideology will actually enable our communities to have more productive and open debates.

+Whether the administration agrees with these people or not, if they have them with their instance, they are facilitating them in some way. **When speech carries consequences, you cannot say you are neutral.**
