"I dunno. Came out of the closet"
Put in a lot
Get a little back
Because a lot of time it doesn't require revealing personal info. This all hits home because that shithead did it to a friend of mine who has the audacity to be both gay and liberal. So Milo came to his campus and informed everyone this "fat faggot" is corrupting our youth and should be harassed. But he didn't include…
Well, apologies if it was indeed sincere. It's just also one of the most common derailing tactics used by trolls — demanding citations for information that is quite easily found.
Hey friend, did you know google exists? Literal first results:
No, I'm saying I support punching him in the fucking face. I never once called for a ban.
Context, friend. For instance, the Supreme Court has already covered free speech rights don't apply to shouting fire in a crowded theater, because that will almost inevitably lead to a dangerous situation as people trample one another trying to leave the theater.
This is genuinely the best way I've seen it put so far. Kudos to your analysis.
Not equivalent in the slightest. The problem with the centrist liberal definition of free speech is that it ignores all context. Milo regularly outs trans and non-documented peoples who then face real violence and real consequences. And yet so many liberals want to defend Milo's abstract rights over the rights of,…
There's a gigantic fucking difference between defending the concept of free speech and giving a platform to a dangerous fascist. Or to put it another way, why don't you donate money to Stormfront? What, are you trying to suppress their free speech?
Huzzah! Now if they just bring back smoking in restaurants, I'll finally have a Simpsons quote to use!
Would you say he's making late night great again?
This is like the free speech argument that xkcd so thoroughly pilloried — if your best defense of the guy is to appeal to the universally-true-but-completely-banal fact that entertainment is subjective, I think you've made my point for me.
For me it's because he's the George W. Bush of comedy. Absolutely no qualifications or demonstrable skill, and yet he keeps failing upward.
Tough, but fair
Though in many ways, isn't Fallon just representing America as a whole, to a large extent? With his trip from "Teehee, this guy's hilarious!" to "Oh…shit, this guy's actually our fucking president now."
After dude shouted that at a show and Adams threw his big ol' hissy fit about it, Robbie Fulks had a standing offer for months that anyone who heckled Adams at a show would get free tickets and merch from him. Of course, the downside was that you had to attend a Ryan Adams show in the first place.
This movie Cambodian death camp'd my childhood!
Close, but not hyperbolic enough. You should probably add that your childhood was raped. You know, so that in addition to showing how totally reasonable you are about movies, you can also minimize and disrespect an incredibly traumatic experience for many.
It's 100% political. There is literally nothing in the Quran or any other text of Islam that calls for the veiling of women. Why, it's almost as if sexism occurs independently of religion!
