I don't know anything about Aspergers, but I encountered a similar hostility on a social anxiety forum. Your description of censorship perfectly described that social anxiety forum. Whenever I'd tell the men there that it's women's fault they're incel, they'd still blame themselves and get angry at me. Most of the men there will die single virgins. Or simply be doomed to the bottom rung of picking up the scraps left by other men.

As for your questions:

So what will happen here in this forum without censorship?  I am beginning to have doubts.  If a man posts here about his problems with women, looking for sympathy, my instinct is to tell him to get off his ass and go to a non-feminist country where he won't have these problems.  This may very well not be the answer he wanted.  Most of those men who are naturally more action oriented have probably figured this out for themselves and so won't come here in the first place.

I certainly hope you're not leaning towards censorship. It wouldn't affect me since I'm in lockstep with most of your views, but it would undermine the forums integrity.

As you originally said:

The forum is meant as a place where men can freely express themselves without fear of intimidation by overzealous admins and moderators.  Only spam and personal insults are not allowed.

I hope that this forum also serves to encourage men to take positive action to solve their dating problems.  Different people have different thoughts about what the best solution is, but it is my hope that participants here will eventually choose a solution and take action on it.

I think it's good to stick to the above.

So my question is, is this forum addressing a real niche or not?

I think we're a niche only in that the alternatives like "Love-Shy", "Incel Support", "MGTOW", ect, have more censorship. Essentially we're serving the outcasts from those forums. Forums most of the time also seem to also reflect the administrators view. Since your views are very original fschmidt, I'd say the trickle down effect of your views does make this forum more niche.
