Extraordinary; all this discussion just to get back to square zero. No one has advocated that the government step in and censor the Bee because what they’re doing is illegal.
People are being critical because the content they publish legitimizes lies and punches down on marginalized groups. If you enjoy that kind of content, you should feel free to go where those views are welcome; I am making it plain that it is not welcome here.
- the_third_wave 4y agoWhile you may not like what the Bee or the Onion or any other publication satirises that does not mean it is "not welcome here". Others find the same satire a welcome relief from a narrative which is being pushed hard, often with the threat of unemployment and social ostracisation as a threat for disobedience.

- boston_clone 4y agoJust because you call it a narrative doesn’t mean it’s false; just because people are worried about being unemployed doesn’t mean we need to listen to the hypotheses of morons. Neo-nazis should worry about losing their job. People that promote misinformation about public health should be pilloried. People who want to remove rights from women, transgender people, minorities, immigrants, etc. and treat them as anything less than human deserve social ostracization.
