I really am not convinced that for the sake of the not-serial-killers-yet racists we have to let them call people slurs everywhere. Choosing to commit hate crimes is purely in the realm of irredeemable pieces of shit and society barring them from calling black people slurs on social media shouldn’t be considered a causal factor to it.
- ParetoOptimal 3y agoNo they aren't irredeemable, or at least weren't always. This doesn't respect the power of the radicalization pipeline and let's others escape accountability for their part such as avoiding conflict when their friend says a racial slur or joins an incel forum rather than providing a less extreme take.
- Jerrrry 3y agoThe cost of freedom and liberty is the occasional tolerance of offensive things and ideas. Small price to pay for a functional democracy comprised of unprecedented individual liberties. But since some of the least-creatively-programmed amongst us want to use the "n-word" as an example (how surprising,) let's. When and who get to decide which buzzword becomes a slur today? Tomorrow? There are black Americans who prefer the word "negro," instead of the latest white-savior siccophant, acting as a virtue-signaling intellectually degrading euphemism. Basketball Americans do not need your saving, thank you Mr Mayonnaise Man.
