I downvoted because the comment feigns victimhood and differential treatment where there is none. Stanford didn’t say “chill out it’s just satire” in this case.

I downvoted because the comment feigns victimhood and differential treatment where there is none. Stanford didn’t say “chill out it’s just satire” in this case. It wasn’t until a non-profit advocacy group and the media got involved that Stanford Law suddenly “decided” it was just satire and dropped the proceedings against the student. I have no reason to expect things would have played out any differently for the hypothetical flyer either.

This is a fair point and changes my mind.

You really have no reason to expect things would have played out differently for a flyer poking fun at BLM? The only reason BLM exists at all is because it is that even completely fact based critiques of its core premise, that black people are being victimized disproportionately by police, are shouted down with religious fervor--to say nothing about the entirely foreseeable, disastrous consequences of its proposals. I doubt anyone will read these articles because they are afraid of being called racist but for example here: https://www.pnas.org/content/116/32/15877 https://www.pnas.org/content/116/32/15877 and then there was a very small "correction" which changes nothing: https://www.pnas.org/content/117/16/9127 https://www.pnas.org/content/117/16/9127 and then note the weasily "retraction" that don't really retract anything that happened right when BLM was taking off. https://www.pnas.org/content/117/30/18130 https://www.pnas.org/content/117/30/18130 If you dont think BLM receives special treatment please contact me because I have a bridge in new york to sell you.

One can almost see the gun pointed off-camera at the hostage assuring viewers that he is being well treated!
