aboyandhisboomstick asked: Free speech is dangerous and should be regulated? Are you a troll or just mostly brain dead?
Speech needs restrictions to ensure that it does not contribute to harming marginalized peoples. Yes, fully unrestricted speech poses a danger.
Anonymous asked: Are you retarded
Are you contributing to the marginalization of people with intellectual disabilities?
Signs point to yes.
Anonymous asked: your view on free speech oppresses me, it needs to be banned.
My speech has not contributed to harming you or any other marginalized person, assuming, of course, that you aren’t simply another cis, white, able-bodied, hetero male.
Anonymous asked: if it weren't for free speech this blog probably couldn't exist.
“Restricting certain forms of speech means no one is able to speak.”
Anonymous asked: You can't be real.
I am, and I will not apologize.
Anonymous asked: If you didnt have free speech you'd probably live in a regime that wouldn't let you criticize the government like you do. Idiot.
Being able to speak freely without restriction or care for who is harmed by it is not the indicator of a just society.
Anonymous asked: "Free speech is oppressive" says the stupid fucking dipshit who didn't bother to consider that free speech helped marginalized groups such as women, POC, and the LGBT community actually have a say while being one of the reasons that dictatorships can't take hold. Really? "FREE SPEECH HURTS OTHERS" probably made me retarded. I'm not disparaging the differently abled, I'm saying that what you just said was so unbelievably stupid that it made me mentally retarded.
Again, this is about limiting speech that normalizes oppression and violence, actions that reinforce inequality and injustice in modern society. This is not about restricting speech that combats oppressive structures.
Anonymous asked: Your speech should be restricted
“Restrict speech I don’t like.” Fantastic argument.
Anonymous asked: Free speech is what allowed and still allow minorities to protest and stand up for themselves, idiot. Or would you rather we turn into Soviet Russia? Time to arrest your ass for speaking against your government.
I don’t believe speech that combats oppression needs to be restricted. Speech that contributes to oppression should not be fundamentally “free.” It deserves limits, because with it, we become a society that silences the voices of the marginalized.
