I don’t care

You can only vote on one answer.

Open hate speech, racism, antisemitism, etc is pretty common on this site. Does anyone flag it? It seems to be allowed here. Only a few people seem outraged by it.

The line between hate speech and free speech is blurred alot of times. I don't think it's truely hate speech until they start talking about hurting and using violence against groups of people. However, just because you are allowed to say something doesn't mean there won't be any consequences. If you get punched in the face or beat up for what you said, that's on you.

@empanadas So, you wouldn't mind if I said all people from Mexico, Central America, and South America were thieves and drug dealers? You wouldn't call that hate speech? Because that's where I draw the line. Whenever someone is engaging in stereotypes of any kind.

@LordShadowfire no just think of the person as not very bright and ignorant. If someone says a derogatory term, I think the offended should have the right to punch the person in the face without facing charges

@empanadas I like that. I want that to be the law.

@empanadas That’s the thing about "keyboard gangsters", though. They’re cowards who know they can’t be touched. They wouldn’t dare say anything where they might actually be punched in the nose or be otherwise held accountable.
