I think that making offending someone a crime is a very dangerous thing to normalise as some people seem to be offended just by being alive.

What are your thoughts?

It’s like anything, really—where humans exist someone is going to go too far. I often wonder what has changed between now, when kids are so devastated by bullying that they suicide, and my own childhood experiences being bullied.
I know that the internet has made bullying harder to escape. I don’t know what kind of legislation is being proposed, obviously something needs to be done to protect people.
But as I said, there’s always the potential to go overboard, like when a 6 year old was charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate. These are just stray thoughts. I wish I had better answers. 🤔
