ABM is a positive movement in DDO

In order to win, Cosmo needs to prove that on balance, ABM is a positive movement. That is, he can't prove that's there's one benefit and win; rather, he needs to win that the positives outweigh the negatives. Violation of Terms of Service According to the terms of service: "Will not upload, copy, distribute, share, or otherwise use Content that is unlawful, obscene, defamatory, libelous, harmful, hateful, harassing, pornographic, threatening, racially or ethnically offensive . . . ." and further "Will not upload, copy, distribute, share, or otherwise use unsolicited or unauthorized advertising or promotional material, "junk mail," "spam," "chain letters," "pyramid schemes," or any other form of solicitation." The ABM admits to trolling and posting inappropriate racist comments, as evidenced by this forum post by the leader, masterless: http://www.debate.org... a The official signature is : "This is the signature of the anti-black movement- THE WHITE RACE IS THE MASTER RACE, BLACKS HAVE NOTHING BUT S.H.I.T ON THEIR FACE !" (see any of masterless' posts). Airmax himself has said that this is a group that was created by children for spam purposes that do not fit with the purposes of the site: http://www.debate.org... If we let ABM violate terms of service, what would the justification be for enforcing it on other people? Degrading the ToS would destabilize the basis for all discussion on DDO and turn it into a spam wars site. Negative Impacts on DDO Diversity Allowing flagrantly racist debates like "Black women who are raped should be forced to work in the sex industry" creates an unsafe space for people of color and makes it less likely for them to join the site. That limits the number of perspectives contributing to DDO, which is harmful to rational discussion. Normalization of Troll Racism Hurts Recognition of Modern Prejudice Cosmo's main argument is that allowing children to troll on DDO allows us to learn how silly racism is. But what it actually does is normalize everyday forms of racism by defining racism as the silly type of trolling that the ABM does, and not the more insidious forms of racism that pervade our society, such as microaggressions, exclusion, higher standards on minorities for jobs, etc. (http://www.npr.org...) In order to advance society, we should be focusing on modern prejudice, not on troll debates about how black people should be forced to run on hamster wheels to make energy, how black people are inherently inferior to whites, how Jews should be forced to work in the mines as slaves, etc. I fail to see how these are funny to minorities. These are incredibly offensive and triggering because they relate to actual issues that people have faced in the past, such as slavery and trafficking. We should not trigger black rape victims by claiming that they should be FORCED to become prostitutes (meaning that if they complain of rape, they should be raped again). Rape is not funny, even if the victim is black. ABM has no place on DDO. They violate terms of service and they harm our discussions of modern prejudice. They are a spam group as defined by airmax. There is no reason to let trolling children spam on this site.
