I do begrudge people expecting everyone else to fall in line with their choices
To be clear… “people” weren’t involved in making “everyone” do what they said. ONE person highlighted ONE t-shirt to the boss of ONE company. The boss agreed it was offensive.
The little picture of text heavily implied that everyone should fall in line with the person who wrote it.
I just don’t get why your right to offend someone is more important to you than the fact that you might be offending someone.
Well nobody has a right in the United States to not get offended, but everyone has a right to offend somebody because we have freedom of speech.
There’s a difference between the need to protect offensive speech and the need to use offensive speech just to prove that you can.
But I’m not proving that I can. Maybe I want to choose something randomly with a nursery rhyme.
You want the right to use offensive speech. You have that right. But you don’t want others to be able to criticize you for it.
I never said that, I just don’t think that people should stop doing things that they don’t find offensive because someone else demanded it.
Essentially the same thing.
No, it’s not the same thing at all. You said that I didn’t think people had the right to criticize me, when that isn’t the case at all.
Let me rephrase. You think that you have the right to say something offensive and they have the right to be offended, but they’re the ones who are jerks for being offended.
Better?
