Freedom of speech, mine and thine
Aug. 24th, 2010 07:46 pmA redux to the deviantArt issue I mentioned previously. (Here go read -- I'll wait.)
Basically, the nutshell is that devArt's Hate Speech policy doesn't cover saying you are a homophobe, because it doesn't directly attack GLBT people. The mod that emailed me back after I sent my protest was very 'we support all speech, even odious speech'. Which did ping my freedom of speech sensor, so I'm going to talk about this.
( And I'll be long... )
