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.

"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.

The Cambridge dictionary definition of bigotry

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/bigotry

the fact of having and expressing strong, unreasonable beliefs and disliking other people who have different beliefs or a different way of life

Beliefs can be changed. Beliefs are just opinions really.

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.
