    If my towns people want to ban a word, that's fine. If my towns government wants to van a word with absolutely no input from the rest of us, that's not fine.

    Government is more skin to the discussion than companies, because a corporate entity is at the whims of the government. Even if SE wanted to give an N word pass, they couldn't in a lot of places.

    And don't get me started on government officials doing shit I didn't vote them in to do.

    Yall would hang the best comedians in history now. George Carlin was right. People are getting soft.

    Most people that claim for the utmost free speech have very little interesting to say. We live in society, society perception of right and wrong changes over time. We stabilish limits, evolve certain conceptions, that's how the world goes. Yeah many comedians from decades ago wouldn't have a place now, but imagine if we all had the same sense of humour forever.
    This has very little to do with getting soft, it's about change, and it always happened and it will keep happening. You might choose to get sour over it but I don't think it's something worth putting energy into.

    I mostly agree but they're are defiantly people out there who are hypersensitive and who expect society to constantly pander to them.

    Everyone expects it and if you don’t you’re hateful. People don’t have to and I always tell people that. If they need to be coddled they can go tell their mom not me.

    Oh yeah, there are! Specially in online spaces, you feel like you are walking on eggshells all the time. But there are also the other side of the coin as well. I was talking more regarding people asking for "100% free speech" and how they can't "do jokes anymore", because to me this mindset is not very different from the hypersensitive one.

    Sounds like you want society to conform to your ideals, or pander to you if you will.

    So, how would you decide what the towns people want? Who would get the final say? Would it be a vote for every little issue? Or would they, I don't know, elect a group of people that would decide for the town?
