Lest this be purposefully misinterpreted as a push for solely right-wing speech, I also strongly believe that say Captainexplosion, who I am pretty sure is not right-wing, should be allowed to be loudly anti-AI.

If multiple left-leaning posters were telling me they didn't want to use VGChartz any more because they felt marginalised here, I would object to that just the same.

You can't have a healthy forum, or indeed a society, without balance. 

Captain can be anti AI, and loud.  Just like Leynos can be anti conservative and loud. 

But calls to violence are WRONG regardless of who and why.

"Kill Republicans"

"We need more luigis"

"I want to blow up data centers"

ALL CALLS FOR VIOLENCE.  

Calling for people to be murdered? Yeah, that's banworthy, completely agreed.

But saying a building should be destroyed, specifically a building that's being used for purposes harmful to society? Nah, I don't think that's banworthy, it's a fucking building, it doesn't have feelings.

It's worth nothing also that he didn't actually say "I am going to blow up a data centre", he just said he thinks it should happen, which isn't strictly a threat or statement of intent.

And let's be real here, captainexplosion, despite his name, isn't going to be blowing up anything, nor will anybody here. He's just venting.
