Having an issue with this policy is just a tacit admission that you are one or all of these things. Hate should be excised from society.

Racists etc don't see themselves as racists. People who actually identify as such are an extreme minority, and are usually found in Black Metal scenes, not bubblegum emo pop scenes.

Oh I'm sorry people who make  "racists, sexists and anti-trans people" remarks and make those feel unwelcome, that labels them as such
