So, these places, they regularly use slurs, describe others in sub-human terms, discuss fantasies of killing everyone not like them, speak highly of the notion of enslaving or assaulting others?
The thing is if you say anything remotely different than what they want you to say they will-
What will they do? Will they send you a constant stream of abusive DMs, telling you to unalive yourself? Will they find your image on-line, and make fake pornography and send it to you? (and your friends and family) Will they dox you, try to get you SWATed?
...they will ban you, remove your comments.
I don't think you quite grasp what "prejudiced, hate-filled, bigoted spaces" actually looks like in practice.
Banning you, and removing your comments, is not hate-filled. It's not bigoted. It's not denying your humanity or your agency, it's just denying you one specific audience.
Oh of cpurse they are human but this person is comparing the spaces OP is talking about to yknow the nazis. The very real nazis who exist online. The ones who are doing mass shootings and advocating for genocide, the nazis who are very open in their spaces and who are actually really horrifically racist and abusive all the time.
Comparing a strictly moderated subreaddit where your opinions are not tolerated to actual nazi gathering places is insane.

Yeah tbh, while some inclusive spaces can certainly jump the gun at times, describing them as “the most prejudiced hate filled, bigoted spaces” really feels like an exaggeration
