Not all forms of speech are free. You can't threaten someone's life for example - this form of speech is a crime. And similarly advocating genocide is. "Freedom of speech" refers more to the citizenry being able to openly criticise the government's actions without reprisal. It's not a licence to be an asshole to whoever you like.

No that's highly relevant to this subject. It's too bad a lot trans people are too busy being offended to see the benefits of letting people make asses of themselves. It comes back to bite them in the ass and the watching the karma is very, very satisfying.

ON THAT SUBJECT MATTER

Alex Jones, publicly anti-trans, caught with trans porn.

Look I do agree most of the time. 99% of the stuff you gotta just let slide. The undirected stupid stuff said doesn't deserve a crusade. But don't tolerate directed harassment more than any other person would just because you're trans. That's what I'm trying to get at. I feel like a lot of us do because...well...it's harder to be assertive. I'm not even saying this so much for myself. I've never seriously contemplated suicide. It's for the trans who have.

Elaborate on how something that my country actually has works please. The point is, it's very hard to go to jail for saying something in America and we like that very much. Hope you never break the law voicing your crimethink. Fucking gross.

Which gifted orator graces us here on the Project 1999 - Classic Everquest forums that he should be so talented as to make a hypothetical someone take their own life with mere words?

Seriously. Who are you talking about? Quotes. Thx.

I’m confused. How does a Core getting fucked thread turn into Trans-America vs Canadia thread.

When the fuck did we get ice cream.

It's free speech vs censorship. If you don't see how that's related... I'm sorry.

Ok and that's... an outcome I'd imagine you're ok with and probably exactly what you wanted. So transphobic posted getting banned and the board does nothing to stop transphobia. Got it.
