- John23832 10y agoNo, he/she didn't. They addressed the above comment. If the Pie's point was to show they you can pay people to do dumb things there are other ways to do that without being blatantly offensive. >>> If I'm not allowed to talk about tragedies >> The sign didn't say, "The Holocaust was bad". The sign said, "Death to all Jews". That's not a tragedy, that's a hateful statement. ^ This response is spot on.
- tscs37 10y agoExcept the last part, which as I said, is missing a lot of context. Hate is Content times Context. If there is no Context then there is therefore no Hate. A mere text is not a hateful statement, text has no intentions or feelings, it cannot hate. The person writing the text or creating the text can.
- John23832 10y agoThat's absurd. If you want your statements, whether in text or verbal, to be taken in the correct context, it is up to you as the originator of those statements to provide and ensure the context. If you don't you're at the whim of other people when they do. If you can't ensure that you can adequately provide that context, you shouldn't give that statement. Nobody exists in anyone else's head. Make definitive, thoughtful statements instead of juvenile ones aimed for shock value and this doesn't happen. Pewdiepie went for the shock value and the views, and it contractually bit him in the ass. > A mere text is not a hateful statement, text has no intentions or feelings, it cannot hate. The person writing the text or creating the text can. Do you really feel that people don't understand that words and text are not sentient beings? Sure, words cannot actively hate, but they can be hateful.
- tscs37 10y agoIf words are hateful they must be so with adequate context.
