The specific space I participate in is a game development community. Due to it's very nature, it attracts minors. Because we keep our doors open, we have a strong incentive to keep the discussion clean, and generally we find that political discussions get hateful extremely quickly, which is the main motivation.

Thankfully there are lots of other servers that have more lax inclusion of adult topics, if that's your fancy. I think it's okay for different communities to have different standards.
