Hey, this is just my personal opinion. I can't speak for a community I am not even a member of (I left ontd_feminism ages ago for unrelated reasons). Debate is certainly allowed/encouraged, but you were talking against people getting "dogpiled" and, um, yes, certain viewpoints that are offensive are going to get a lot of negative feedback. This shouldn't be a freaking shock to anyone!
And yeah, some opinions are "automatically hateful." That shouldn't be a shock. There's no way to ~nicely~ be sexist or racist, for example. There's no way to ~nicely~ say you don't think women should have rights over their own bodies. The idea that opinions are sacred and unassailable because they're ~opinions~ is pure and total bullshit.
