its odd that when you hear about abuse on internet the internet suddenly becomes not important and therefore the abuse isn't important
but when you talk about censorship on the internet the internet suddenly becomes very important and then censorship is important

you want bans on political opinions, i understand that, but i dont because i am unafraid of them

You don't because you espouse them and are never the target of them. And I don't think anyone wants to ban ban them, as in legally. We just want them no-platformed because they're poo. Just like you.

Like every time this happens I always hope the folks behind those anime avatars are 4chan kids doing it for the lulz, and with time they'll realize how lovely they're being and grow out of it. Otherwise it's just sad. Imagine being a grown man with a loving job and family spending all your free time involved with an online group whose crowning achievement is calling a black lady an ape on social media.

I get the feeling that a lot of the people that pull this poo poo are so habituated to 4chan and the likes style of communication that they don't understand how far out of the norm it is. In this case they were obviously deliberately trolling, but there are other examples where they try to interact with people but talk in chan-speak and seem surprised when people respond with hostility.

It's reeeeeal easy to be for "free speech" when you're never the target of concerted hate campaigns by people who consider you subhuman like Leslie Jones was.

To be clear, I don't think the government has any right or business banning any speech short of that directly and immediately inciting violence, but I do think we as a society have an obligation to make some speech so socially unacceptable as to be defacto off limits. Calling black people apes and doing the digital equivalent of making monkey noises at them is that kind of speech.

Oh got it so you're defending a guy who probably is a racist but probably wasn't being racist at the time. So to answer my question, are you an rear end in a top hat or ignorant? I think I know already

Except you can't do that on twitter because the internet is anonymous you maroon. There's no consequences unless you're the kind of worthless trash who makes your living based off your internet username.

i think twitter doesnt want to ban the actual hordes of racists who generate money for them by using their product which is why they banned milo instead so they can be all "see we are doing something about them cyber bulliez" most of those accounts tweeting racist garbage at leslie still seem to be active but we shot Osama so its all over now right
