No bigotry of any kind allowed. Making racist, sexist, trans-/homo-/queerphobic, otherwise demeaning and hateful comments is not ok. Disabilities and mental illnesses are not to be used as insults and should not be part of your comment unless speaking of your own or absolutely relevant.

No gatekeeping and being rude to people who don't agree with you. Leave “gamer” stereotypes out of your comment (e.g. sexless, neck bearded, teenaged, basement-dwelling, etc). Don't compare people to animals, or otherwise deny their humanity. Even if you think someone is the worst human on the planet, do not wish death or harm upon them.

No "justice porn". Posts regarding legal action and similar is allowed, but celebrating someone being harmed is not.

They are inherently weaklings. That's why they think being weak is such a shame, because they are so ashamed of it.

They have in many cases been forced to sacrifice parts of themselves to be a "more effective" person, these are also things they hate that they ever had/felt.

The lgbtq+ community spits in the face of that by being proud of traits that are generally reviled. Seeing this enrages the Reich wankers because they were courting a transition or were just I don't know, too into model trains? Or any of a million things that people looking for an excuse to exert superiority over can exploit.

This what they hate the most because they didn't do it, already chose the wrong side and sunk their costs. The idea that that behaviour is even more vile than the immorality it polices has this been dubbed "cancel culture"
