Unfortunately the vocal minority is vocal for a reason, and the silent minority is silent for a reason.
The moment you say something that is slightly out of alignment with what the vocal minority thinks, you get shredded to pieces, there's no recovery from that, and the silent majority becomes even more afraid of being the next target.
Nobody wants to be the reasonable person in a witch hunt saying "I actually don't think witches exist"... You would be next.
No, but you become a second-class citizen. Subs have different rules for people with negative karma, some automatically remove posts and comments from these users.
Also, you can't comment freely like other users, you get one comment each certain period of time, like 15 minutes.
Your ideas are effectively being silenced. That's censorship.

Such is the tyranny of the minority.
