RE: Accosted by fascists at an LGBTQ+ event (Is it okay to dress as Hitler?)

in #asksteemit7 years ago

If you can't acknowledge and care about someone else's sensitivities, why should anyone care about yours? Is it okay for someone to walk around with a KKK hat? How about a symbol of anti-homosexuality? I promise that you would not be okay with that.

Sort:  

I promise that I wouldn't care about those things as long as the person isn't harming anyone.
I shouldn't be expected to worry about whether someone might find a religious symbol offensive or not. It's the equivalent of a member of ISIS being offended by someone wearing religious items and then thinking they have the right to cut someone's head off. At the end of the day the offence in these situations is taken by the extremists. There is no offence given. It's in their PC censor-want minds.

The idea of freedom of speech, is that everyone has the right to their own opinion and their own voice! The only time the State or any individual would have the right to intervien is if harm is done. We suround ourselves with arbitrary Laws, Principles, Beliefs and then violently shove them down other peoples throats. There is only one law "DO NO HARM" and if harm is done to person, creature or property then let the punishment suit the crime. Other then that it is all hog wash!
