    Censorship = not showing things to people even though they want to see these things. If a group of people who believe that LGBT people are mentally ill are talking to each other about these beliefs, then preventing them from doing so is censorship, it doesn’t make the platform a more welcoming place because the people it would make feel unwelcome weren’t seeing it anyway.

    That is a very weird explanation / example.

    Hiding abuse from the targets but letting the abusers talk freely is a concept by morons for morons. Once could say that people who generalize that “LGBTQ [you forgot a Q there] people are mentally ill” are mentally ill themselves. Anyone thinking that it is okay to make a judgement about a group of people based on their gender identity should probably see a therapist themselves because they are definitely NOT NORMAL.
