Freedom of speech only implies the freedom not to be locked up,  killed,  or otherwise impeded by the law for what you say.

It in no way frees you from the consequences of what you say.

Your employer doesn't like what you say? Not covered. 

The media won't report on what you say? Not covered.

A forum bans you for being an ass-hat? Not covered.

The joy of capitalism is that you can vote with your feet. Don't like it? Move employers, read different news, or find a new forum. Freedom in action.

A thick skin or not, civility is not incompatible with freedom of speech...

SJW's are self righteous censors, who are either too self absorbed or disingenuous to understand that their tactics and methods are anti-free speech.

Not all black people are African...

Nobody is throwing people in jail or executing them for using the word black. Hence not anti free speech. 

Again,  unless you are getting jailed or shot,  there is no right to "free speech". 

Now,  are "SJWs" censors? Probably. "Safe spaces" is clearly a load of bollocks - at least the way it is used today. Anyone who feels the need to isolate themselves from broader society, and impose their views rather than convince others to change clearly have an authoritarian mindset.

But to an extent, we all surround ourselves with our own implicit biases. And it's getting worse. "Safe spaces" is just the logical extreme of a trend that's been happening for a while on both sides of politics.

The NRA is basically the republican version of the same idea. A bunch of people gathered together to insulate themselves against the overwhelming evidence that the ready availability of assault weapons hugely increases the likelihood and death toll of mass shootings. Australia is a case in point. 

Petition Wants Jesse Williams Fired for His Speech at BET Awards. But He’s Not Worried.

Personally, I think what he said is divisive and batshit insane, but he has every right to say it without people losing their mind and calling for his job, or being swatted, or threatening stuff being sent in the mail.

People that think speech is not being threatened and only the gubmint gives you right to speech against the gubmint are ignorant of what is going on, or tacitly support it. We are moving past the impolite speech into the realm of banning people that don't hold the same opinions as they do. Facebook is turning into a joke, banning conservatives for nothing while allowing pictures of police officers getting their throats slit by black lives matter protesters, pages with "KILL DONALD TRUMP" are allowed to stay until multiple sites reported it in the headlines. Comics can't tell jokes anymore without being mobbed, artists can't write or create what they want without getting mobbed and harassed, scientists can't wear a shirt created by a woman friend, speakers are blocked on campuses for wrong think, and way to many 'mob rules' people are just fine with this apparently.

Congratulations, three straw men in a row...

and a [redacted] man can wave a gun around on twitter making terrorists threats and that's just fine while Milo gets banned for saying "Feminism is Cancer". People are thrown out of spaces for legally filming liberals in action, while they allow conservatives stages to be stormed and taken over because they don't like the 'speech.

All you [redacted] are [redacted] [redacted]...

EDIT:

Make malicious personal attacks, defamatory statements, or other behavior deemed unacceptable by Stardock's administrators;

to many people and social media sites take this as 'whatever I do not like' but are quite fine when that same behavior is applied to people they deem undesirable. They are called hypocrites.

We've long since wiped our ass with the Constitution on free speech.

Hate crimes are essentially normal crimes just like any other, where the prosecution goes through your history, determines you to have acted because of racism based on things you said, and then gives you that extra time for those words.  If you shoot up a women's strip club, whether you can be shown to have said misogynist things or not will impact the severity of your punishment.  Being an emotionally unstable throwback could get you more time in prison than the actual crime if you really suck and happen to miss them all.  It's written to be indirect, but it's a work around to punish thought that can't stick with an honest court ruling, regardless of how repulsive the victims of such an injustice are.  Just one of the many aspects of our country that depresses the hell out of me and causes me to look forward to the impending doom of civilization.

True, I have a lack of respect for marshmallows who can't handle an argument on the internet without getting pissy, and dismiss everything out of hand while they use cherry picked statistics as if they mean something.  It's okay though, I don't respect myself either because I'm an asshole with little use for people in general.

While I'm hardly one to say the religious right doesn't try to impose their views on the broader population, what sounds eerily familiar to the crazy left is how after having gay marriage rammed down our already restricted by the need to get a license in the first place lives, we're now expected to participate in such affairs, not just allow them.

I find just the idea of being hit on by another dude creepy and exceedingly gross, but I don't give a flying fuck what they do with themselves so long as they leave me alone.  Trying to force a church to host their wedding, or a caterer to run the party, is exactly what the poor religious right was afraid of, enforced normalization.  Now we're being pushed to accept mentally ill men and women in the opposite gender bathrooms, which is insane, and we're still going to get the bad end of it.  I'm just glad I don't want kids and my fondness for cooking came with the understanding that I'd never be fast enough to make money.

I could have guessed that would be the response. 

Doing a quick Google search of any trump rally would show the right is just as bad as the left. Or pickets at abortion clinics. There's plenty of videos of right wing Christians saying and doing loads of other stupid and offensive stuff.

Time to take the blinkers off.

Ps, both of you sound pretty insecure about gay people. There's no enforced normalisation - just treating people in a somewhat reasonable way and staying out of their lives.

It's almost the same with gay marriage as well, especially in the [redacted] community

Well, fine. Turns out there are religious people on both sides that seek to regulate the lives of others.

As I said, both sides are as bad as each other. 

I feel very secure, just cranky.  One of the many current issues is that a queer couple can wander from cake shop to cake shop, waiting till one refuses to cater their wedding, and then sue them for discrimination.  Win or lose, they're still fucked with legal bills, lost work, and a media circus destroying their business.  This is the typical result of anti-discrimination laws.  Whether you feel it's immoral or not, anyone should have the right to refuse service without being attacked by their government, and we don't.  That is far more in your life than an argument over whether a pointless piece of paper we're being forced to have in the first place should change a millennia old definition.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
