Good. Let people say what they want.
I assume you wouldn't mind if someone went to all of your neighbors and told all of them you were a pedophile.
Let people say what they want, right?
Slander isn’t the same thing as being insulting. I couldn’t take you to court for calling me Stevie or telling everyone to call me Stevie.
I think twitter is stupid. I think the policy is stupid. I don’t think bullying people on any platform just to bully should be tolerated. Still though, that’s a whole different idea there.
So when you say "let people say what they want," you mean, "privately-owned companies should be forced to allow people to say whatever they want unless it's slanderous."
You’re talking to the wrong fella. I never said that.
Sorry, I thought you were the original person I was talking to.
That’s fine. I’ve done that more than once myself.
Agreed. The hypocrites here are perfectly fine unjustifiably calling people they disagree with fascists, nazies, pedophiles etc. but then lose their shit when someone misgenders somebody. Some people are assholes - deal with it or block them.
Listen to yourself. You don't even know the difference between plain old name calling and actual bigotry.
"Nazi" or even "pedophile" is not the same as calling a trans woman a man for the same reason that it's not the same as calling a gay man a f- or a black man a n-. When you insult someone for an innate quality about themselves that harms no one, you're a bigot. It's really that simple and it's sad that you don't understand that.
The key qualification in the comment you're busting is the word "unjustifiably." It is pretty easy to justify calling people fascists or Nazis based on the subject's own behavior. You can't justify bigotry with anything but hatred.
