What once started as an inside joke between a couple guys playing multiplayer Halo in a spare bedroom, has now become an internationally acclaimed multimedia production company that employs 300 people, has one feature length film, two more on the way, at least a hundred different both shorts and episodic series shows, podcasts in video and audio, and one of the fastest growing conventions, RTX. Their first year, I think they had around 600 attendees. Five years later, 60,000. That isn't a typo. They have branched out and now habe conventions in Australia and the UK.
They are a shining example of The American Dream 2.0.
Free speech has been a topic of conversation on several podcasts. I believe they were commenting on the tumblr like attitude of "I want my free speech, but if you say anything I disagree with, fuck you."
They also said, "if you get free speach to say what ever you want, we also get it to say you are fucking maniac and a moron."
Yeah but who gets to determine what hatespeech is? Someone can bad mouth the president and have it labeled hate speech so they can legally arrest them, but that goes against the whole reason the first amendment was made.
Bosses can claim hate speech if you say anything besides its sunshine and rainbows to work there.
The first amendment protects hateful fuckwads speech, not your punches, so if you decide to hit everyone who doesn't agree with you, the law isn't on your side AND you're no better than a child.
Sefining "Hate Speech" for a legislative and judicial ruling perspective is a massively slippery slope. Where exactly do you draw the damned line?
Best case, don't draw one. Don't define it. The First Ammendment doesn't spell it out, so leave it alone. However, another aspect of the First Ammendment is that it doesn't say it is free from repercussions.
You want to act and talk like an absolute raving lunatic fucktard? Go for it. It is your Absolute State Given Right to do so.
Remember this though: if you get caught, if you get recognised, don't be surprised if you get not only terminated, but also learn you are now unemployable.
Me? I'd rather have unfettered free speech to allow the rampant fucktards to see their verbal diarrhea and out themselves to the world than have them as a closeted hate monger.
