At most, that's bullying. People can get restraining orders for those cases. Trying to mandate decency won't work. It will only empower people who control the definition of "harmful" to get rid of anything they don't like.
- DangitBobby 4y agoI don't think I buy that. I think we're doing pretty good at identifying, for example, what constitutes sexual harassment in the work place. I'm really not sure what the hesitation is, to be honest. Seems like a given that you don't have the right to just keep fucking with someone who has asked you to stop.
- dmatech 4y agoI am extremely grateful that the world is not one big workplace and there's no HR to report everything to. Sexual harassment is actually legal outside the workplace, and it's generally protected speech up until you start violating a restraining order. Simply talking about other people behind their back isn't harassment, but it's typically unacceptable in a workplace. Outside the workplace, it's just a natural tendency of humans.

This is how I imagine living in parts of Europe are and also how I imagine people fantasize about the US becoming. They just seem to not have the foresight that their current cultural thoughts might not be the dominant one and once the other side takes power they will call it fascism ... regardless of the side!
