I had someone steel this and change “butts” to “Christian” and weirdly enough, lengthen my skirt. Kept the flame boots, but no short skirts.

      The point still stands, in the minutiae you’re addressing. People post absolute garbage opinions on a regular basis, and are free to do so, as long as their platform allows it. This doesn’t go into the consequences of pissing off a lot of people, but you’re still free to do it.

        The point does not stand. I don’t think any set of rules that sees “N***** N***** N*****” as acceptable speech should be respected, nor any person who thinks that way.

          I agree with the spirit, but I disagree with what the point of the comic is - it’s not trying to make a point about respect per se, just about freedom of speech. Even if you wouldn’t be a part of a community that allows hate speech, if you encounter it “in the street” so to speak - there’s just nothing you can do.

          Because it’s a short comic, it doesn’t have the time to go into the nuances. One word has a long history of being used to dehumanize an “other” group and the other just a word for a body part. If body parts offend you as much as racial slurs, you may have your own issues.

            Still missing the point

            If this logic can be used to defend race hate, then maybe the logic isn’t sound

            Also, if the issue is too nuanced for you to convey in a short comic, maybe don’t make a short comic about it

            I’m gonna need you to engage in just a little more abstract thinking for me. I’m not talking about racism either.

            Let’s try another thing instead: “Got hates fags”

            How about: “Jews did 9/11”

            It’s pretty easy to say “free speech! I can say whatever I like!! I’m not responsible for your hurt feelings!” without any nuance, but speech is a bit more complicated than that.

    Too many people would change their minds based on what the sign says.

    Does you reaction change if the sign read: “Black Lives Matter” or if it read “Back the Blue”?

    Or one that says “Trans women are women” vs “trans women aren’t women”?

    Or “pineapple on pizza is ok” vs “pinapple on pizza is the work of the devil”?

      Honestly, the first thing that I thought about was what if the sign had a slur word. Sure freedom of speech means say what you wanna say, that doesn’t mean people aren’t gonna sock you in the face.

      I think I’m still of the mind that “intent to incite violence” is the line. And even that can be crossed when the government needs to be overthrown.

      But I could be convinced otherwise

        Violence is extremely useful and will be the only tool you have left if you want to stop climate change or protect yourself+your social network from the effects of capitalism.
