so how do you feel about cake-makers who refuse to bake cakes for gay weddings

I think that’s a different situation. Service shouldn’t be refused based based on sexual orientation, but it should for hateful speech and bullying. One you can’t control, the other you can

Question: Are you familiar with Chapo Traphouse? If you're not, I'll try to find a different example we're both familiar with. The point being, I genuinely don't believe one can define "bullying" in such a way that allows for heated and mocking rebuttal. Catharsis is valid.

Well I don’t want to get into semantics regarding when “bullying” is and isn’t ok, all I’m trying to get across is that YouTube has guidelines that state harassment and racism isn’t allowed

But saying "harassment isn't allowed" is meaningless if you can't address the semantics of what constitutes harassment. Think of it as saying "qweghoubqerg isn't allowed".

I mean I think the extent of whether something is considered harassment is up to YouTube decide. But obviously there should be justification for why it isn’t allowed, and given that YouTube is a site accessible by children, it makes sense

I think "private enterprises have a right to wall off their own gardens" disintegrates once a particular private enterprise's garden hits critical mass. You didn't have Ma Bell deciding what could and couldn't be said on their phone lines - let police police, let carriers carry.

If the OP was "let's all block Scrowder - share w/ friends and family", that's fair and completely defensible. But trying to get corporations to silence those who offend you (speaking in the generic "you", not "you, RealAF") is philosophically stinky, & worse, pragmatically dire.

(last self-reply, promise) You do not want to normalize the idea of big corporations policing speech. Give an inch, and they'll take a mile - so be very, VERY selective about what inches you choose to give, lest it bite you in the ass. Corporations aren't your friends.

Trust me, I don’t like big corporations either. But there’s a difference between censoring speech and removing someone off your platform that violates your tos by consistently mocking homosexuals and apparently the Chinese from the above clip.

This isn’t about silencing conservatives, it’s about condemning harassment, regardless of ideology. If there’s a left wing commentator acting the same way crowder is, I’ll condemn him as well
