Joking about political figures isn't hate speech.
- Shared404 4y agoJust because it's about a political figure doesn't make something not hate speech. If someone drops an n-word at a state rep, does it become not hate speech? The answer is (obviously) that hate speech is still hate speech.

- Shared404 4y agoThey're referring to a Babylon Bee article where they misgender a trans public figure repeatedly. It's the tweet that got the Bee suspended from twitter because they refused to delete it.
- bennies4grojnd 4y agoIt was a satire on USA Today naming Levine as one of their Women Of The Year. This isn't hate speech, just social commentary on organizations giving awards and accolades reserved for women to men who want to be women.
- roflyear 4y agoThe right is incredibly fucked up today. See this article: https://unherd.com/thepost/was-the-fake-boobs-teacher-a-hoax/ https://unherd.com/thepost/was-the-fake-boobs-teacher-a-hoax...
- bennies4grojnd 4y agoSeems highly unlikely this is a satirical protest. More probably it's just a man bringing his fetish to work and expecting everyone to comply, as is the zeitgeist of today.
- roflyear 4y agoOf course you say that, nevermind the evidence saying otherwise!
- bennies4grojnd 4y agoAn anonymous comment on 4chan is not evidence of anything. Come on, do you really believe this is anything other than the usual trolling that goes on over there: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FdXO_XkXgAsIMFy?format=jpg&name=900x900 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FdXO_XkXgAsIMFy?format=jpg&name=...
