The trouble with that is that the definition of what's vulgar or offensive has very, very blur boundaries.
Those very definition are the first ones to be used (followed by "think of the children") as reason for righteousness, censorship and other politically correct legacy.
- OtterCoder 9y agoI'm perfectly fine with people having the right to be crass. It becomes a problem when it's glorified as the point of free speech, and when entertainers believe that people bowlderizing their own, private copies of things is unforgivable. The point of free speech is to ensure that unpopular political opinions have room to air, everything else is a happy side effect.
