Look at my avatar. That Sinead O’Conner stunt was considered one of the most offensive things broadcast on television. It pretty much ruined her career. Now, this is a totally different example because her statement was altruistic and very important, but the consequences were the same. I’d rather the stupid people get some leniency so that we don’t have to walk on eggshells all the time instead of getting outraged at everybody. It also doesn’t help that social media exists purely to broadcast stupidity to the world, but that’s a different topic.
