RP drama? Are you people for real?

I call it drama because that's how I see it. And you people? For the record, I'm not part of the Role Play, but I support their decision.

Why? Yes, it was a horrible event, and I must be a terrible person now for supporting their actions.

Controversy happens. Last time I checked, though, there was a First Amendment right, and people shouldn't be bashed for simple words.

There are better things to worry about in life.

Well, I don't know how horrible you are, but you clearly aren't very invested in not to hurt people. Quite the contrary.

I'm tired. I'm seeing so much idiocy right now. You know what trivializing a tragedy is? Well, look for it.

There are better things to worry about in life.

Go then, we aren't talking talking about a genocide after all. Oh wait.

The First Amendment does not mean what you think it does.

You mean it DOESN'T say "Any ill-informed asshole has the right to shout his opinion far and wide without ever having to reply to criticisms, face consequences, lose friends, lose jobs, be embarrassed on the Internet, or justify his opinion?"
Because I TOTALLY thought it said that.

The First Amendment protects people from government censorship.

The First Amendment does not prevent private citizens from calling people on their bullshit.

I love how the First Amendment is always dragged out in order to "explain" why criticism (which, is also free speech) is wrong, and bad, and should stop.
