    Oh, wow. Oh, wow. Just look at the true colors come out. And look who applauds. You're definitely of the same kind.

    Isn't that kind of the point here? @Nuada Airgetlam is perfectly within his "free speech" (which doesn't allow you to say whatever you want btw, it allows you to say things without being censored by the government, but we can even use your definition here and my point doesn't change) to explain why others shouldn't be tossing out slurs.

    If the best defense you can offer for some speech is that "well he has free speech", then it's probably really shitty speech. It's the same as arguing "well it's not illegal" to defend things that are wildly immoral or unethical.

    Did we really have to go to the straight-up racial slurs here? Really?

    Nailed it. You can be vitriolic without resorting to slurs. My own past participation in the forums is probably a great guide on how to do so.

    Haters Gonna hate. I don’t think I have to explain the intricacies of each unit and how it’s working components form a whole. I assume people can deduct some things , also note the massive disclaimers about satire and fun.


    Also humor is subjective, I like talking about this in a way I find fun. And you like something else like blinking lights

    Guys, don't engage, op is an obvious troll who gets his kicks out of agitating other people. His type is annoying and can be infuriating, but at least it's not funny. Leave this be and let the moderators sort it out.

    And defending this in the name of "free speech" is misguided and laughable.

    I would like to remind that this thread has gone off rails and I would suggest that if people would like to not take a temporary break, it would be nice to stop and reconsider their posting behaviors.

    Thanks.

    No, that’s the SJW’s definition of “free speech”.
    The government punishes you in regards to libel, slander and threats of violence.
    You are fully within your right to call someone a “spastic” or “kike”, you are then just responsible for the social outcomes.

    Also, mongoloid is not racial slur wtf.
    It’s a term for a mentally retarded person

    Sedition would be another case where free speech is curtailed.

    OP has a particular sense of humor, but this is cleary just that - humor. Some people will like it, others won't.

    The reason it's a slur for the mentally disabled today is because of its history as a racial slur -- John Down, who coined the term, named it so because he thought people with Down's Syndrome looked like his image of the "mongoloid race" (I threw up a little in my mouth writing that). This usage was then popularized by a book that argued that one cause of Down's Syndrome was because of intermarriage between Ashkenazi Jews and Khazars. So not only is the term racist in its origins, it's also got a blend of anti-Semitism, because just being racist wasn't enough for those guys, I guess.

    So in other words, the term has its origins in wildly outdated and racist theories of race, and both uses are considered incredibly offensive today, so I would encourage you to pick a more respectful way to speak to others, even if you disagree with them.

    If your defense for using a slur is that it slurs a different group than the one the other person thinks it does, I would suggest that you probably shouldn't use it anyway...?

    Bottom line is that freedom of speech isn't some kind of a blank check to act like one pleases, and then to put on sweet innocence act when someone else voices his displeasure. The right of people, especially those from vulnerable groups, which includes people on the autism spectrum to spend their time on this forum safely, without being mocked, attacked, or their characteristics being used as a slur takes priority over responsibility-free speech. And if someone doesn't agree I suggest him to take his toys and go play somewhere else.
