Sticks and stones my friend. Have always believed people should be able to say literally whatever the fuck they want to. Guess I'm just a priviledged white cisgendered piece of garbage but I literally can't think of 1 time in my life I've ever been offended by words.

do not use forbidden magic, feelings are at stake

Hitchens was great until he justified our holy war in the middle east. Just the nature of theory and practice, I guess.

Ouch looks like I got checkmated. You heard the man lets put an end to free speech and everyone that says mean words gets the electric chair from now on.

All in favor?

It doesn't have to be black and white, but limits on things are ok. Not every limit is an attack on your freedoms.

Who decides where the line in the sand is?

That's obviously a hard question to answer, but maybe the line is speech that causes a girl to kill herself?

I'm not denying its a sad story and it sucks that it happened. But who's to say there isn't a girl out there that might commit suicide over someone calling her a doodoohead? I think we can agree that doodoohead isn't hate speech. There's no easy way to say what's ok and what isn't and everyone has a different opinion. I personally think nothing should be off limits and people shouldn't be so god damn thin skinned about everything. But I may very well be in the minority here.

Should we start issuing forum bans on people that refuse to use my preferred pronouns? It's deeply offensive and triggers me. Please refer to me as "Your Majesty" from now on.

ya that girl sounds thin skinned, I'm sure she just overreacted

I would hope we could agree on that. It does not speak well of society if we are to consider suicide an appropriate response to words, no matter how offensive.

Society could well do without the harasser though.
