He's a comedian, it's an act and a gig just like any other late night show host. To tell them to calculate their risks beforehand is heinous, that's like making fun of people who lost their homes in earthquakes for living in a earthquake prone zone

Its still inexcusable behavior. If you want to set up an insurance fund for employees who lose their employment because their boss was an idiot who literally couldn't stop himself from pointlessly harassing others, I guess I'd be fine with that.

But then again, like I said before, what if in the future this language isn't bad at all? Wouldn't that be very hypocritical just to go with how society is *feeling* at the moment? Imagine losing years and years of work only for it to have been lost for, in the end, nothing

Speculating about what the future could hold doesn't mean we shouldn't react to and/or punish clearly abusive behavior in the present.

I am going to be frank, that is terrible logic. That's like saying guilty until proven so, instead of innocent until proven guilty. Also, that was a great video you sent me thank you lol

I think the more apt analogy would be letting a guilty person who was convinced "beyond a reasonable doubt" walk free because "something in the future could possibly make that doubt more reasonable who knows *shrugs*"

Again, it's only reasonable beyond doubt because you make it out to be. Language and words change over time, which is why we have no hate speech laws and why YouTube persists to have vague rules on language. You used to be stoned to death for saying Jahoba, now do we condemn that

I mean yeah, we go by the laws we have today, cause that's literally all we have. For all we know, his discourse/language could become even *more* offensive in the future, meaning we should actually punish even more now. It's just pointless to speculate on some distant future.

You're right, it is pointless. which is why we don't use speech that doesn't incite violence (since it's very hard to change a direct call to action in a language over time) in law. If he got more offensive or less offensive as time went by it shouldn't matter

I don't think anyone's calling for him to be thrown in jail, but he's a personality with millions of impressionable followers, and engages in repeatable, toxic, bullying behavior, lazer-focused at specific individuals. There *needs* to be better checks/consequences for this.
