I'm confused by how there can be 'violent speech', I don't believe there can be. I believe there can be aggression, but I do not think there can be physical damage done by words alone.
The paranoid in me ponders if this abuse of terminology is part of an effort to classify speech as violence, meaning that something that 'hurts the feelings' is classified as assault.
- krapp 5y ago"violent speech" is commonly understood to refer to speech which threatens or incites physical violence, what has commonly been referred to by courts as "incitement to imminent lawless action" or "fighting words."
