This is basically a flare set off for every alt right “soros is behind it” conspiracy theorist. I honestly don’t think OP even meant it that way but without a doubt this will roll through those circles.
"Attempt"? These are real world examples. If none of these could possibly be seen as offensive to you, if you truly can't understand why someone might be justifiably upset, then frankly you're just a sociopath.
In the context of an intense commitment to an open internet I’d honestly need to know a bit more about what this means in my own country’s pirate party. “Free speech” is often just a disingenuous shield when bigots want to be be bigots without social consequences.
Appreciate the kind words! I feel like it’s one of those things where people are so caught up in the politics they are not thinking about the nuts and bolts or using their imagination.
Should I make rape jokes around a survivor? Should I set off fireworks or pop balloons around a soldier with PTSD? How about make 9/11 jokes at a firefighter who lost friends that day and barely survived? Nobody would hesitate to tell me to stop and that it’s not funny. I t be socially tarred and feathered. But I guarantee you there people out there who think those things are hilarious! So who decides?
It boils down to mutual respect. Simple as that. If somebody asks you to stop, just stop. You are not entitled to an explanation and they do not have to convince you in order for you to show them that you respect them and their dignity as a person. That’s ridiculous.
Yeah, I think a little friendly “competition” can be healthy, but it often turns into outright dismissal of other fields/ideas and needless cutting down because they view others as a threat. Someone else’s success undermines their own, that sort of thing. That is not productive and can even be damaging.
I bet you money I can make a joke that you will not enjoy/will upset you. Use your imagination. Your line for “too far” is not the universal standard, so don’t treat people like they’re wrong just because they don’t share your exact level of tolerance and exact same list of subjects available for humor.
Appreciate the good humor on your part! I’m just being a bit tongue in cheek but PSA: everyone should follow 3-2-1 backup protocol! You’ll never lose your data again!

So I recommend everyone get 2 decent HDD’s (2nd is clone of 1st) and 1TB of cloud storage. Most services are under $100/yr and let me tell you, you’ll want to spend 5x that to save half of what you lose without it. It’s easier and cheaper than ever to follow this system.
