Censorship and whether or not social justice warriors are taking it too far.

Just wanna point out that advocating for censorship is not just a problem unique to 'SJWs' - right now in Australia, the populist right are throwing a nationwide tantrum and signing mass petitions for the ABC (a tv station) to “condemn and fire” a Muslim youth leader/presenter. Why? Because after a politician sprouted bullshit about Muslims trying to implement sharia law in Australia, said Muslim youth leader/presenter refuted this by explaining that sharia was a personal code only and demanded Muslims follow the law of the land they were in. So apparently now she’s a “pro-Sharia Islamist” and “terrorist sympathiser” that should be silenced.
Note that the context of this disagreement was literally a political forum show on which she was a panellist. Apparently they only defend free speech when it's being used to peddle their own bigoted viewpoints? Anyway, slightly irrelevant to your comment. I'm just so annoyed after reading despicable facebook comments.
I meant censorship and the SJW thing as two separate topics. I mean sometimes they can overlap but I hadn't intended (in my answer) to pin censorship on one party. I mean as you pointed out it comes from both sides and it's just as annoying from each side.
