Nope. I'm 48. As long as I can remember I've held these views and made these points. As have my friends and family. I guess social media now makes it easier to transmit them and hear the views of others.
Not being racist, not being homophobic, not being mysogonistic (and I recognise my own bias- a child of the 70s was surrounded by it and brought up with it)
It’s not virtue signalling. And my 'skin in the game' is that I simply do not want to be surrounded by racist, homophobia misogynists or put up with their language or the creeping acceptance of it. That’s enough for me.
I could leave the 'room', ignore it or - as has been mentioned on this thread - try and argue my point and convince others.
But I won’t accept someone telling me that because they do not care that I shouldn’t.
That's great, I agree. But you aren't outraged are you, so you you'll not be in favour of censoring the people with those views as per the thread title.
