What's hate speech? Is being critical of someone's points and calling them out for being deliberately deceptive and outright lying in their videos now considered hate speech?

Being critical of gay people for being gay is usually considered hate speech. Crowder gives it away by continuing to harp on Maza’s sexuality.

Have you watched the videos? He's critical of the content of the gay dude's videos, not his sexual orientation. I called him a gay dude because those are facts. He's a dude and he's gay. Or was that hate speech too?

No, but you are using it as an insult. Gross. You don't called straight guys "straight dudes" so what facet of him being gay makes it a defining feature. I guess it will be the fact that being gay is something worth pointing out. Stop straw manning me.

You never asked a question. If there was a group of 5 guys and all but one of them was gay, I absolutely would refer to the one odd straight dude as a "straight dude." Why are people so damn sensitive about words these days? Being gay is part of his identity so he gets called gay

... It is called empathy towards a class of individuals that have been marginalized and oppressed for much of American history, so maybe just maybe it isn't too much to ask to not use the slur "f***?"

Policing speech is a slippery slope and never a two-way street. What ever happened to the saying "sticks and stones...?" Words are wind. Nothing Steven Crowder said was a call to violence and therefore is protected free speech. You may not like it, but why let it hurt you?

Maza is hardly alone in suffering from repeated discrimination. What’s more, many acts of violence are based on this type of targeted hate. Far-right nationalists have killed way more people in America since 9/11 than foreign terrorists. This is how they get radicalized.
