President Joe Biden has defended the right to free speech but says “order must prevail” on college campuses where pro-Palestinian protests are happening.
To clarify as another Beehaw user, are “fascist” and “felon” in fact being objected to here, or only the use of “fuck” as a noun/name?
I easily understand the latter as name-calling, as it’s purely an invective, but the former 2 don’t make sense to me as being violations of Bee Kind.
That seems to be veering into the realm of toxic positivity, if we can’t call a person doing fascistic things a fascist, or a person doing felonious things a felon.
I want to be clear that I am being completely sincere when I ask, does this mean that saying “Joe Biden is acting like a fascist autocrat”, is ok, but applying it as a title, as in “Joe Biden the Fascist Autocrat” is not?
If so, I will hew to that distinction, but I want to be perfectly clear about the actual expectations; if the former is also an issue, I would like to know that now.
…does this mean that saying “Joe Biden is acting like a fascist autocrat”, is ok, but applying it as a title, as in “Joe Biden the Fascist Autocrat” is not?
In my opinion, yes. However, this is something that I would want to discuss with the other administrators/moderators in order to reach a conclusion.
You could’ve made an argument that the “fuck” part of “fascist fuck” was name calling and uncalled for… But your doubling down on the “fascist” part isn’t “be(e)-ing nice”, it is using a bully pulpit to push your own views and opinions.
Show me where Beehaw staff have defended anyone from criticism.
The subject at hand is name-calling. It is not nice.
The subject that you keep reiterating is current events and politics.
Do you understand the difference?

Labeling Joe Biden as a ‘fascist’ is name-calling. Whether or not he is, truly, a fascist is not what is being addressed here.
Beehaw is a space that strives to be(e) nice apart from the thousands of Internet spaces that could care less.

I’m going to be frank. Your response to this thread is a huge red flag for me, and it makes me much less comfortable being here.
I’m sorry you feel that way. I did not intend for anyone to be uncomfortable.
