Personally I think not having karma limits is nice currently! I understand why they were used but grinding karma as a lurker on reddit was frustrating.

    I’m a centrist with a trans kid and no issues beyond worrying how they’ll be treated by transphobes

    Being a centriphobe is still bigotry

      “Being a centriphobe is still bigotry”

      Generally it’s not bigotry when your critizes peoples choices. It’s usually reserved for things people can’t change. Like their race.

      Example

      “Centrist ideas are usually not well thought out”

      See this isn’t bigotry because you could have better ideas.

      I’m glad your good with your trans kid tho.

          I think it’s very inappropriate to call some one a bigot for criticism someone elses political beliefs.

            When someone says many centrists are transphobes, that’s being bigoted towards centrists…

              No I think thats a factual statement with a basis in reality, and my own personal experience.

      Hatred of proponents of political affiliations generally isn’t viewed as bigotry because it is quite easy to stop being a proponent of a political affiliation. It is much more difficult (or impossible) to stop believing in your religion, to not be gay, to not be black.

      I don’t like bigotry and centrism is, depending on your interpretation, either support of the wretched status quo or support of a mixture of progressive and backwards policy. Neither position is respectable.
