Why does your freedom of speech cover insulting me? It doesn’t make any sense? Instead of me having to remove myself from public spaces to not get insulted, the people insulting in public spaces should be removed???
Because what is insulting enough to warrant removal is extremely subjective. Pretty much everyone agrees there’s a line somewhere, where people draw that line is very different. I would never even consider trying to stop people from making bad edgy jokes, but I will tell them the joke isn’t funny and they just seem like a bigot if that’s what I think.
I also wouldn’t consider 4chan a public place. Someone holding up a sign in a train station that says “gays are an abomination” I would agree should be removed as they are actively making a public space hostile to someone. But then I’d also put different standards on a non-spontaneous demonstration, as those have to be cleared beforehand and won’t happen on a super frequent basis, and there needs to be some way to voice any opinion that doesn’t outright call for violence.
Well you guys do realise though, that outside the US, in a damn big ass amount of countries, insulting people is illegal and not considered freedom of speech?
I am not in the US lol. Insulting people is in fact illegal here, that doesn’t mean i necessarily agree with that in a general capacity. There was a famous case of a politician here a few years ago that sued and had someones house raided over them insulting them on twitter (with a very harmless insult too), which is absolutely ridiculous.
Oh wow now you really showed me. I have the right to bear arms so I will arm myself with a nuclear bomb. When anyone steps on my property lawn I will detonate it.
