Eh, really?

Like is it stereotyping to say Black people tend to have darker skin than whites?

At some point, it’s not stereotyping, it’s intrinsic. And if the domain is super cheap to register, is overrun by bad actors, and is generally a nuisance… is it really stereotyping?

Collateral damage I get. Like if you’re running a convenience store and observe that teenagers in track suits and bandanas are robbing you blind (hey look I’m stereotyping), banning these kids will also ban the totally legit kid who happens to dress that way.

But? Isn’t that ok? Should the shop owner just eat continued losses for fear that eventually someone might dress like that and not be a risk?

I fear that I sound snarky, but I really don’t mean to. My point is that at a macro level stereotyping is absolutely wrong. But at a tactical, day-to-day lived experience level, how much abuse do we all have to put up with? An unlimited amount ?

> Like is it stereotyping to say Black people tend to have darker skin than whites?

Nah. But it’s stereotyping to say black people tend to commit more crimes than whites.

Which is a lot closer an analogy here, and just as wrong.

> is it stereotyping to say Black people tend to have darker skin

Your analogy is altogether misplaced.

> But? Isn’t that ok?

No, it never is. The hallmark of civilization avoiding collateral damage and protecting the innocent, without which we're animals.

> And if the domain is super cheap to register, is overrun by bad actors,

That is not established. The bad actors merely make noise, and get reported. The good actors stay out of the news.

Your argument is bogus because filters absolutely can be nuanced, operating at the name level. It is a non sequitur for a filter to operate at the TLD level.

> My point is that at a macro level stereotyping is absolutely wrong. But at a tactical, day-to-day lived experience level

Huh. That is just laughable and sad. Stereotyping is wrong at every level, and it's even more wrong at the everyday level.
