the issue is conflation. Some believe:
Freedom of speech = Freedom of consequence
Hence when they find the world does not work like this. They are upset, and feel undignified.
So the mistake, is not in the action, but expectation.
If you can't discuss your disagreement with facts and a level head. Best go play pokemon go. Specially if you are holding very little Steem and have absolutely no intention of purchasing any.
100% this. Too many people think that free platform means no one can disagree with them. Not to mention, I think it's incredibly ridiculous they cry censorship when everything is still readable.
The only thing that's taken away by flags is rewards, and sometimes reputation.
There are some psychological effects attached to getting flag. But they are self imposed.
People attach their sense of worth to a payout on a comment or post. Hence, if that gets attacked (im being dramatic intentionally) that means in their mind their own value, their own sense of worth has been eroded.
But, is this true? Of course not, If I'm so weak emotionally as to attach my sense of self worth to some magic internet money (again being ridiculous intentionally) then the issue I have is a lot deeper and I probably need some counseling. Now, this is not me saying they are stupid or that they are not valuable human beings. This is me saying they are accepting the consequence of their actions as something that degrades their self worth. That part is their choice.
@whatsup is probably right about the idea of normalizing flags. If people understood internally, that is, that you don't die, that nothing changes, that your wife doesn't leave you, that your kids don't think less of you, because one comment or two have a (SHOW HIDDEN) button on them.
Then this whole debacle, this whole catastrophe will be as relevant as spilling your drink. It sucks, but you are going to be OK.
What about the people that make a good comment that doesn't intentionally offend a particular person, but is still flagged and hidden. Some comments are like that. Hasn't happened to me though so im just trying to think from the other side.
That feeling some people might get when they put in a good comment only to be kicked down.
I guess the financial incentive really gets under people's skin more than, say, Facebook or Reddit.

Create work that doesn't depend on your reputation, then call out bs and be a contrarian.
It's one off the most important roles in society. Without it we'd have imbalance.

I'm 100% entitled to an upvote from you.

It's all because of the Steemit community, they help their own.
I dumped like 10 or 20 sbd in bot votes for him the other day when I was bot whoring up my post trying to get to rep 60 for the bytemyballs thing. It worked out though. Money well spent.
Would you fucking look at you!!!! You are a full on 1 rep on steemit. Mother fuckers can see you again now after haejin ass fucked your account. I guess my bot votes finally came through for ya. I told ya they would take 5 to 7 business days. lol

@berniesanders you were flagged by a worthless gang of trolls, so, I gave you an upvote to counteract it! Enjoy!!

Free speech = no one is talking shit. You can't have it both ways.
Freedom is a hell of drug!
A lot of people see this as a system set up for bullies, but a lot of people also don't realize that in order for someone to flag you, they kind of have to sacrifice a bit of themselves as well. It is one less vote they can spend on themselves or someone else that they would rather support. So, the system lends itself to eventual settlement one way or the other.
Now, I have the unpopular opinion that the reputation system is in fact flawed in its current implementation, but that is also mostly a perception issue. As bernie has proven himself, you can still trend with negative rep.
The rep system has always been flawed.
The problem is that people are too goddamn sensitive these days and have little to no common sense. It's only getting worse.
Yeah the thicker the skin the better.
@berniesanders do you feel powerful downvoting minnows from your basement?
