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

    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.

        free speech ≠ hate speech

        Everyone is allowed to have an opinion but if your opinion involves being a dick to certain people, keep it for yourselves.

        In the comic above, no certain group is targeted so there’s no reason to be offended.

            Yeah it doesn’t really make sense. “Butts” isn’t offensive to anyone and no you don’t have the right to offend a group of people.

            Pretty sure it was made by a left wing gay man whos existence was considered offensive to conservatives

              if it was made by a left wing gay man then i guess they are both gay and dumb because they inadvertently made a comic that pushes narratives used to defend homophobia

                No offense but based on what I’m hearing you need to study your history of censorship and left wing support of free speech in response to that censorship. And I mean government censorship, not reddit banning a right winger and them crying about it.

      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.
