Americans are fragile snowflakes who cannot handle seeing bad words regardless of context and intention. Their freedom of speech is severely restricted as a result.
If people weren’t so bad about seeing shitty things and then repeating them anyway then I’d probably agree with you more. It’s also not a freedom of speech thing since hatespeech(which includes slurs) is not protected in most places and it’s weird of you to bring it up at all.
Quoting hate speech without censoring in order to denounce it is not a bad thing. Here’s an example of the biggest French newspaper having the literal n-word* in the title of an article. They are not being hateful, they are quoting a chant by black protesters who used this word both ironically and in reference to a famous black French poet, to protest racist remarks by a higher-up at LVMH. Absolutely no one was offended by this article, because the newspaper isn’t actually racist ; it’s a quote.
* I’m saying “n-word” instead of the full word, as I don’t want m-words to ban me because they do not understand context.
That’s not at all what’s happening here. It’s completely unrelated to the story and the story wasn’t posted in order to draw attention it the word choice.
You seem to have your own thing going on, you good?

“Not using slurs is woke and that’s bad” shut the hell up, loser.
This is not what I said. Using slurs is bad. Censoring slurs when quoting is also bad and useless. Only Americans are afraid of words in such a way.

That’s because French are more revolutionary than Americans. Protests and revolutions seems to be their annual holidays.

? Am American and really don’t see where you’re coming from.
Haven’t you heard? Everything bad is because of America
Hmm, weird cope but okay.
I mean I do agree with the first part but that’s not what freedom of speech is in a legal sense
In a literal sense or do you mean in a legal sense?
Legal sense, you’re right. My mistake.
That’s another thing - Americans seem to be convinced that “free speech” is a legal concept and nothing else.
