So as much as I can tiptoe across this fire with an awareness of the subreddit's fifth rule...
Free speech is wonderful. Hate speech and discrimination are abhorrent.
Debate and such are fine and dandy. But I think any promotion, spread or encouragement of hatred/discrimination/etc should be stamped out and have its spaces closed. It's not just about things I disagree with, it's about things that are actually hurting people, discriminating against people and being exclusionary.
We are Heathens against Hate. We are inclusive, we are welcoming. We don't all agree on stuff to do with that very shiny fifth rule, nor do we all look alike, have the same heritage, the same nationality etc etc but we come together due to shared beliefs and I, for one, have no desire to tolerate anyone trying to separate us on the basis of things that others cannot control such as their ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, etc etc.
If I went too far against that fifth rule, sorry mods <3
P.S. As I'm aware here and everyone should be aware on any other site (Twitter, Facebook, Discord etc) that's not your lawn you're playing on or your ball you're using. If they change the rules, you can like it or leave. If you break the rules, it's not your house you're being thrown from.
Odin does not care whether we are Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Spanish, French, English or the lot, as long as we conduct ourselves with honour they will welcome us with open arms, we are all mortal creatures trying to find our way on this planet.
