I had someone steel this and change “butts” to “Christian” and weirdly enough, lengthen my skirt. Kept the flame boots, but no short skirts.

    Too many people would change their minds based on what the sign says.

    Does you reaction change if the sign read: “Black Lives Matter” or if it read “Back the Blue”?

    Or one that says “Trans women are women” vs “trans women aren’t women”?

    Or “pineapple on pizza is ok” vs “pinapple on pizza is the work of the devil”?

      Honestly, the first thing that I thought about was what if the sign had a slur word. Sure freedom of speech means say what you wanna say, that doesn’t mean people aren’t gonna sock you in the face.

        free speech ≠ hate speech

        Everyone is allowed to have an opinion but if your opinion involves being a dick to certain people, keep it for yourselves.

        In the comic above, no certain group is targeted so there’s no reason to be offended.

      I think I’m still of the mind that “intent to incite violence” is the line. And even that can be crossed when the government needs to be overthrown.

      But I could be convinced otherwise

        Violence is extremely useful and will be the only tool you have left if you want to stop climate change or protect yourself+your social network from the effects of capitalism.
