This article headline is so loosely based on its contents. It basically suggests freshman in college continue to not be okay with hate speech and it's slightly on the rise since 1992. It's not really controversial at all and yet the headline suggests it's full of WTFs.
- unimpressive 11y agoYeah, I liked the article but am not a fan of the title. Very inflammatory. Can we get a title change?
- dominotw 11y agothats against hn policy i think. or atleast frowned upon.
- unimpressive 11y agoDang changes headlines all the time when they're inaccurate or unrepresentative of the content or contentious.
- VLM 11y agoThe story provides specific examples of hate speech speakers, such as secretary of state, IMF directors, and the prime minister of India. Its important to note that until recently, "hate speech" meant the Klan and such, that definition has dramatically changed.
- pekk 11y agoThe actual meaning of "hate speech" has not changed.
- fennecfoxen 11y agoThe key technique at play here, which you're helping illustrate: 1. Say something uncontroversial ("no hate speech please") 2. Believe something tendentious ("Condolezza Rice coming here is hate speech.") 3. Keep claiming that there's no problem or controversy at all and declaim that anyone who disagrees is a bigot who loves hate speech.
