If people are going to censor em-dashes—something that’s objectively unharmful—then online spaces really do have a problem with freedom of expression.

An em-dash may seem inconsequential.

But its perceived inconsequence is precisely why it should be defended.

If the humble em-dash can’t be defended, what will happen when more consequential freedom of expression needs defending?

Anyone nit picking at minor details over the use of language isn't worth the effort. It always irked me when people natter at the little things, unless they are teaching the use of language in a school setting, they should take a chill pill. Literally. Use em-dashes as you will.
