President Joe Biden has defended the right to free speech but says “order must prevail” on college campuses where pro-Palestinian protests are happening.
Unsubstantiated name calling. There is no sufficient evidence to support the label you’re attributing to the person. It is opinionated and name calling.
They’re not insulting or demeaning labels, they’re facts. Donald Trump is a felon. Joe Biden is complicit in authoritarian war crimes and genocide, and is quashing public dissent with state force. You know, like a fascist.
What’s disturbing, and definitely not nice, is having staff here defend these people from criticism. Slaughtering children isn’t nice. Calling it out is.
These are public figures who directly engage in hurting others as a matter of course.
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 Nice.
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.
This is a ‘soft warning’ about name-calling. Generally speaking, name-calling isn’t nice. Please, be(e) nice when using Beehaw. Thank you.
Is ‘fascist’ name calling in this context, or ‘felon’?
Do presidential candidates really need to be protected from such milquetoast criticism?

Joe Biden is literally funding the murder of thousands of children, while Donald Trump is currently being tried for several felonies.
Also, while protecting these fascists and felons, you seem to mistaken me for OP.
That’s what we, at Beehaw, don’t want. It is not nice.

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.
There is some irony is the name-calling warning coming in as a reply to the “white moderate/wanting order” comment.
what about you do something useful instead of whatever this is
