Free speech is a tricky thing. It does allow creativity, as you say, but it also can be devastating for people with some kind of trauma, as you also say. Should I be free to say someone is fat? Well yes, but to that person who may have issues about that, it could send them into a self-destructive spiral. Now maybe they shouldn't be as delicate, but, well we can keep going back and forth like that. Maybe they shouldn't be that way, but they are, and that may or may not be their fault, and telling them to just grow a pair isn't really going to help the situation. It's a really tough dance. I don't like these kind of restrictive environments and definitely prefer the "free-speech" zones like the Mancave, but I can also see the other side and can understand why places are growing more and more restrictive. At any rate, I don't think we are going to solve anything by getting rid of these "safe-spaces". We need to figure out what in our society is causing people to be more and more sensitive, what is causing them to carry more trauma, whether that trauma is real or imagined. In some regard, I think it's always been this way. In the past we didn't have so much PC language, but at the same time we were expected to be much more polite in public and use more indirect language to avoid hurting feelings. It's still that way in Japan. But at the same time, people are still generally polite even if language has turned more casual, so maybe it has changed.
Don't know. I'm off to work. Just some random thoughts for you before I go. Good post!

Free speech is good and all but some people just go a little too far with it and forget basic manners and how to treat people and have a civil talk about things and come to a conclusion or at least something that both people feel good about walking away from. In general a lot of people lack this ability which I always find mind blowing because I'm always up for hearing every side of the story and while I might not agree with you that's ok and it's your choice its something I'd never take away from you. But that respect I show should be returned.

Hmm, a Trump and Bibi leadership comes to mind. You suppose they retaliated against people that call them out on their lies?
I support fat free speech? #TooFuckeh
