They feel they've lost the "culture war" because Nike is pro BLM and Target has rainbows. There's no real analysis for this, it's all vibes. The "facts over feelings" crowd, folks.

I don't actually know. If they have I feel like it would be plastered everywhere.

Just found it's from 2014...

...don't know if that makes it worse or not.

It's just so reductive and silly!

You joke (probably not), but I was once complaining to my group chat about getting stopped by my job in a "sting" type thing, saying I was on my phone (i wasnt and the thing was dropped). Anyway, my chud friend was so close, complaining how these traffic laws are just ways to suck money from.working people a lot of the time. However, his solution was something along the lines of remove traffic laws, make it harder to get licenses, this will separate the wheat from the chaffe, and the rest can get "bus passes with all the other knuckle draggers."

I was in complete awe at his stupidity and yeah, called him out on that dog whistle.

What I'm saying is, you're right... we'd never accept this lol

The Devil's Milkshake!

How about replying to this: https://hexbear.net/comment/3787472

Free speech isn't some magic phrase that exists in a vacuum. All online communities have restrictions on what can be said (most basically, violent threats as an example). Say whatever you want, but be ready to accept those consequences.

Maybe this is a bad assumption, but I would guess you're from the US (like me). Our First Amendment protects our speech from "Government Interference" (still not totally true, but w/e). Free Speech doesn't mean consequence free speech in various spaces.

Regardless, you admitted earlier you're upset you can't use slurs so this is probably falling on deaf ears...

doesn't seem to tolerate basic slurs

The horror...
