I had someone steel this and change “butts” to “Christian” and weirdly enough, lengthen my skirt. Kept the flame boots, but no short skirts.

    Lmao what? Saying that people should be allowed to speak their minds isn’t the same as agreeing with everything everyone has to say.

    Honestly, you assuming that it’s an “endorsement” speaks much more to your own issues than anything else. Maybe learn that life isn’t so binary - that things can be a little more nuanced.

      I think you might have things backwards. The way I see it, I’m the one trying to add shades of grey to a world you are describing as black and white. Either they agree, or they don’t, that’s why you say. I say no, it’s more complicated than that. And yet, you say this is somehow reducing to a binary. Maybe I’m taking crazy pills. You tell me.

        Either they agree or they don’t

        That’s not at all what I’m saying. I’m actually saying the opposite. Whether anyone agrees with anyone else is entirely irrelevant to my point.

        I’m saying that people are allowed to say whatever they want, and that them being allowed to do so doesn’t mean that what they’re saying is actually acceptable.

        For example, someone can go on Twitter and have a full blown racist rant. They’re allowed to do that. But that doesn’t mean that what they did is acceptable.

        You’re saying that if something is allowed, it must be acceptable. That it being allowed in the first place somehow implies an endorsement of the behavior. That’s pretty much the definition of black and white thinking.

            Yes it would be. That’s how free speech works. If you think blatantly racist rants are generally accepted, you’re delusional.

                Because things aren’t so black and white. Something not being acceptable doesn’t always mean it should straight up be outlawed. That’s not how the world works. People do socially unacceptable shit all the time and aren’t violating any laws by doing them.

                    That’s literally what you’re doing by saying that anything unacceptable shouldn’t be allowed. Just because something is acceptable, that doesn’t mean it isn’t allowed. Because laws and morality aren’t always a perfect 1:1.
