Journal of Other Forum Analysis (Volume II, Issue 2)

If we're talking about a reworking of the Constitution the first amendment is absolutely part of that. I agree it shouldn't be abolished completely but it also shouldn't apply to corporations via Citizens United or have blanket protections for hate speech or lying from politicians and those issues are inherent in absolute protections as interpreted by SCOTUS.

We have examples of other countries doing just fine without blanket free speech protections, and ignoring those countries is absolutely US centric.

I’m pretty sure you tend to ignore the controversies on those countries.

Sounds like you're doing a non-crime hate incident

Citizens United didn't apply it to corporations, it's always applied to corporations as part of the common law. If it didn't, "freedom of the press" wouldn't mean anything for any media entity you can think of. And as always, remember that the losing position the Obama Administration took in Citizens United is that the federal government can ban books and movies if they criticize politicians, namely white lib Hillary Clinton.

You want the state to be able to arrest politicians it claims are lying? So to completely eliminate any opposition parties? What fucking democracies allow this?

I will bang the drum again: it's because every time you put a gender nonconformist in a video game, it will be attacked to hell by both sides

it is stepping on a landmine for no reason at all

going back to the old standards:

baldur's gate sword of dragonspear: the dwarf immediately outs herself to the player characters when the whole point of transitioning is to hide/forget what you used to be and embrace your new self, incredibly problematic that a trans would out themselves like that

mass effect andromeda: the chick immediately outs herself to the player characters when the whole point of transitioning is to hide/forget what you used to be and embrace your new self, incredibly problematic that a trans would out themselves like that

tell me why: wraps its representation in bubble wrap, see it's problematic that it never has anyone mistreat the trans person, it shows that everything works out and there's a minimum of bullying and abuse which is depressing for real trans people

red strings club: sabotaged its own attempt at doing transness right by allowing the player to discover a deadname as a plot point, which is illegal and hurtful

dead by daylight: added a new monster voiced by a trans person, a monster which flips between masculine and feminine representations and looks like a horrific parody of what conservatives think of trans people, the voice actor was dragged and somewhat canceled for having harmed trans people and not thinking about what the fuck they were recording for

cyberpunk: mix it up ad is incredibly transphobic even though it was made by a trans person, and the one trans person in the game calls her truck "the beast" which apparently is something all conservatives call trans people so that's also transphobic

dragonguard the veil age:

Someone should make a word cloud for this forum. I don't think even MtF subreddits use the word "trans" this much. I think the part where you started an infight about war was the only few pages you didn't jerk off to this subject.

If they weren't so pridefully ignorant of history they'd know that the US has historical examples of state officials prosecuting "hate speech" before the First Amendment protections were used in the way they hate. When the Federalists made it Sedition to criticize or mock the President. When the Southern States outlawed abolitionist writing or speaking as offenses against the culture of the South. When states criminalized not saying the Pledge for being an offense against America. When the government outlawed criticizing war or the draft for presenting a "clear and present danger" like "shouting fire in a crowded theater." When the government tried to prosecute a dude for rhetorically saying he'd take up arms against the President to protect himself from oppression. I could go on and on.

[Potato]

Have you Americans ever tried, like, not being such extreme fucking lunatics?

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

where was freedom of speech during McCarthyism

I remember in highschool a student was told to go to the principals office for refusing to stand for the pledge sometime after Iraqi freedom begun. 

Nice "freedom of speech" we got here in America. 

[Boredfrom]

ERA suddenly being okay and laughing of an AI image because it came from Iran.

“Principles? What is that?”

[D3RANG3D]

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

The way I understood it and this was the school staff saying this mind you...is that free speech does not really apply to school...do with that what you will....I tested that not standing up for the pledge of allegiance and that was what my teacher said...

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

This was like five or six years before Iraqi freedom or whatever too!

User Banned (3 Months): hate speech; armchair diagnosis.

[HeavenIsAPlaceOnEarth]

Public speech should be moderated, and only allowed to flourish when it's undeniably true.

Well, this would bring an end to the trans genocide... 

Along with many other things the people of era believe.

[yetanotheraccountholyf]

cut.that.shit.out. do you WANT thebire to be closed and benji doxxed and killed? this is the last warning

[Potato]

Someone really should assassinate Trump. 

There, I said it.

[HeavenIsAPlaceOnEarth]

imagine posting unironically "humans should have fewer freedoms"

I don't understand why people don't get on board with my obviously morally superior political beliefs. 

They're probably just bigots. 

[normalindividual]

Honestly a word cloud of the forum would be fun. There should be one of Resetera too though, for fairness.

Resetera one is easy to guess.

Wowser, imagine typing up a list like that and excluding Latinx.  At Easter of all times.

The field Marshall of Pakistan(board of peace member) is meditating between Iran and President Trump.

Iran has confirmed they are reviewing the proposal.

Praise be to Allah. Blessed are the peacemakers.

People who didn't vote to make sure he didn't harm our trans brothers and sisters can fuck off into the sun. I'll shame them all I want.

So can people like you who expect minorities to fall in line and vote for people enabling the massacre of their people.
