Name one good reason not to get thicker skin and why we should make this place into a safe space.

>>534236
Because you can go to reddit for that

>>534239
Blue boards are supposed to be work-safe, you nigger.

Why are you browsing 4Chan at work? Why are people able to read your text? Unless someone is posting some huge image macro about niggers, you shouldn't be getting in any trouble.

fuck niggers

Because if you're over the age of 12 you should be able to take a sentence, put it in your mind, rationally examine it, and expel it out without getting physically angry.

If you are unable to do this, you shouldn't be complaining. The blame rests on you.

>work-safe
Why the fuck are you on 4chan at work? You should be working, not shitposting.
>>
>>534236
Your post is hate speech.

Name one universally accepted definition of hate speech that won't end up being corrupted to promote a political agenda.
>>
>>534659

Same could be said of free speech.

In fact, it's easier to come up with a definition of hate speech than of free speech. To this day, there's still widespread disagreement over the limits of free speech, whereas experts in general extensively agree that hate speech is well-defined as speech that attacks a person or group on the basis of attributes that person or group has no power over such as gender,ethnicity, race, disability, or sexual orientation.

But you had no way of knowing that because you've obviously never studied such subjects, you just parrot catchphrases you read on forums online.
>>
>>534668
We don't have free speech here. Our ability to post at all is subject to the whims of the mods and admins and is not guaranteed.
>>
>>534668
>To this day, there's still widespread disagreement over the limits of free speech
Anybody can disagree on what it actually means, but in the United States it's defined by the Supreme Court to encompass everything that doesn't fall into specific and enumerated categories of unprotected speech.

It doesn't matter how many "experts" disagree. Some of these so-called experts are talking out of their ass.
>>
>>534236
Because you're a huge faggot.
>>
>>534914
this, go back to tumblr with your "hate speech"
>>
>>534236
Because 4chan doesn't exist to be your safe space. And like the other anon said, unless my boss peered over my shoulder and literally read every post on the screen, I'm not getting fired.

It has a legal definition.

Okay, professor, let's hear your investigative proposal.
>>
>>534960

The holocaust was also legal, you cucktard.

>professor
Someone here is jealous of people with college degrees...
>>
>>534236
Because it's already banned.

If 4chan was hosted under the rule of the Third Reich we might have something to discuss, but we don't.

>Someone here is jealous of people with college degrees...
I'll address you by whatever honorific you want if it'll help you answer the question.
>>
>>534236
Because 4chan is and always will be a staunch realm of brutally honest critique and distasteful derision. Anonymous posting will always perpetuate this sort of environment, which is a good thing because it weeds out the retards who can't handle being mocked.

Hate speech is also subjective as fuck.

>I'll address you by whatever honorific you want if it'll help you answer the question.
I am to be addressed as "Duchess".

>>534242
"worksafe" is just euphemism for "no porn". There isn't a single literally worksafe board on this site. If your boss catches you browsing, say, /diy/ while you're supposed to be working, would you not end up in trouble?

Do people seriously browse 4chan at work?
>>
>>535179
Only people who don't have jobs make posts like yours.
>>
>>534958
>politically-invested white males

So basically the people who invented all that shit you enjoy like computers and water and electricity. I don't see a problem with this.
>>

I think we're done here.

>>534236
You would have to provide a good reason to ban hate speech first.

protip: there isn't one

>>534668
>, whereas experts in general extensively agree that hate speech is well-defined as speech that attacks a person or group on the basis of attributes that person or group has no power over such as gender,ethnicity, race, disability, or sexual orientation.
So, basically, don't say mean things at all. Perfect, what a fucking useless concept as that is all people use it as. It just means don't say things I think are mean and that is the way it is applied everything.

Why is this retard constantly making this stupid thread about something stupid and pointless? Go to reddit, facebook or some other shithole if you want your little hugbox safespace of love and friendship. Kill yourself, the threads aren't even funnier enough to mock and bait you.
