so if i understand this correctly, gaines has made her career by publicly calling trans athletes predators and threats to women while completely failing to ever mention even once that her mentor/college swimming coach was sexually assaulting and harassing women on the team while she was there?
Riley Gaines climbed the MAGA ladder by vilifying trans women in sports. Now, teammates are speaking out about the real problems on her team: abusive coaching, sexual harassment, eating disorders. ow.ly/o3wq50XuCzp

I regret to inform you all that I have been cancelled for being an ice muncher. I admit it, I order my drinks with ice, and I eat the ice. I even have opinions about what type of ice is the best ice to eat!
I’m sorry, everyone. I let you all down.

Personally, I always make sure to feel bad when I’m enjoying a Bratwurst or a Schnitzel, because Germany is just that problematic.
Truly, I am the most morally pure person on this site.

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

You have to keep giving money to avoid collapse and if there’s collapse you have to give more money. It’s called the free market.

Any one of these massive AAA videogame companies could file suit against the 6-piece Chicken McNobody ringleaders harassing their employees, and that they don't is a choice. I said before of goobergate that the industry enjoys having a bunch of unpaid Pinkertons around too much to ever give it up.

On point 1, even if you do feel a moral obligation to defend all speech, you do not, in fact, have to *actively* work with Chris Rufo's gang of thugs, the way that FIRE did in the case in question. Like, come the fuck on, actually.

"W-well I have to defend the speech even if I don't agree with it"
1) No you don't, get a job and/or hobbies, take up autoerotic asphyxiation or something, I don't care, the devil can afford his own lawyers
2) Bullying is *harassment* not *speech* anyways.

"Speeches" don't have rights, rights are for people.
It should go without saying that if an interpretation of "freedom of speech" makes it so the ability to spew abuse and hate is more important than the safety of people, then yeah, it absolutely is supporting the contents of said hate speech.

This dogmatic, perverse, extremist interpretation of what "freedom of speech" means and entails and how so many americans consider it to be sacred and far more important than the lives of actual human beings is such mental poison. It's antithetical to any kind of progressive society.
