A good take. A joke about Anti-Semetic material needs to be self deprecating or have an umsympathetic tone like Straw Hat tells me. You’ll still get people pissed about it regardless.

Yes, you’re right. I was generalizing a bit. I wasn’t trying to lump something like Inglorious Basterds or The third Indiana Jones movie in there.

Hey bud! I don’t think you read my post at all. But since you’re making that argument, people have been making Hitler Jokes for far longer than 20 years and people that feel strongly about it don’t like it.

You’re trying to make the “facts don’t care about your feelings” argument. That argument doesn’t work when…

I don’t even know what PewDiePie said exactly. I just pulled “Burn all Jews” out of my ass.

Unless it’s the United States government suppressing someone on American soil or an American citizen abroad, the 1st Amendment of the United States’ Constitution doesn’t apply. It’s pretty easy to understand. Don’t you wish basic civics was still taught in schools?

I agree with you on the joke part. I, and a lot of other people, don’t care a whole lot about “offensive” jokes. However, “Burn all Jews” and other anti-Semitic jokes are still taboo in today’s society. There are many people alive that remember the horrors of that time period.

“O look Daddy’s home!!”
“Go greet him Sally.”

Yea, I might have gotten it confused with an old wizard with a stick that likes to fall.

There better be a Black Knight that always triumphs by bleeding on people in this “They Shall Not Pass” DLC.

I thought the guy was in Sweden? They don’t have free speech over there like the USA does. (“Hate Speech” is defined in their law I believe.)

Nah, I reread the thread and saw your interaction with that commentator77 fool at the same time you were responding to me. His attack required a passionate response. Just because part of it might have bled into your interaction with me is understandable.

Lol, I don’t think we were even arguing. I think it was more trying to understand why some other peoples’ reasoning can feel so alien. G’day Mate!

The most facile argument applied to this situation is: “They’re just words, bruh. If words hurt your feelings, that’s your ish!”

Yup that’s the argument. There are people out there who believe you should be able to say whatever the hell you want without reprisal from anyone. “Feelings be damned as long as I’m not…

You left out spirit. That word is the key.

Edit: It’s just an argument. Not one I’m advocating for. Sometimes I like to think about what makes other people think certain ways.

You could argue it’s an attack on the spirit of free speech. Free speech and the 1st Amendment to the US Constitution don’t have to be synonymous.

I think Valve was looking to the future. Scrolling through a few shit games is fine. Scrolling through 90% of the games being shit makes one want to use a different service. Probably just them cutting it off before it’s too rampant.

I don’t mind the dismissing or ranting he does himself. The dismissing of a dissenter and then shaming them without being able to respond because they are “grey” is worthy of mockery though.

Sounds good! Sarcasm and other mischief can be good! Being authoritarian and silencing others because you’re a “ungrey” is not.

If you want you can respond to him through replying to a post of mine. I won’t dismiss it unless you’re being a total clown. I’m all for heated discussion.
