"It's 1 person, the bartender, deciding what's good or bad for all their patrons. And this is, I'm not sure what, but gives bartenders at bars too much power to moderate bar conversation the way they like vs giving the individual patron the choice to decide on their own. Call it whatever you like."

It's called moderating the space you operate. This is literally why you can’t walk into a bar like you own the place. If you don't like it, start your own damn instance. You don't have any right to make people tolerate you if they don't want to.
