How should the Pit be changed, if at all?

Huey Freeman certainly pushed a left-wing view and got thoroughly criticized for how he presented it. Then there are the posters who insist they’re leftists but say some really rotten shit and get roundly trounced for it.

You gotta ask, are things like transphobia and paternalistic racism and leering misogyny inherently conservative in an all-true-Scotsmen way? Or is it possible that people on the left can be afflicted with (and inflict on others) nasty bigoted ideas, and can be criticized for them just like people on the right?

Of course, you’re talking specifically about left-wing views, so I’d say the only real extreme left-wing views around here come from asahi, who catches a ton of shit for them in the Pit.
