Oh my argument there was about how cancel culture is based on celebrities, and it's hypocritical that people are so willing to be okay with it in one context, but if its family and loved ones, it's tolerated and dealt with rationally. In that topic everyone said they had people in their lives that acted that way, but the idea to public shame them or call their work is ludicrous. Nothing there was said to reflect my own opinion of the right answer, just to shed light on that particular hypocrisy. (Also it was Sephy G's argument that I jumped on if I recall)

The second point you get at is me speaking in a sort of exaggerated hyperbolic manner. Again, I put a lot of nuance in my posts to both make them entertaining to read and to encourage a heavier reader engagement. To put it in simpler terms, watermelon joke is the KKK marching in the street and the ken jennings joke is a guy wearing a "No fat chicks" t-shirt. I believe free speech should protect both of them equally, but I'm not going to be the guy who fights for the KKK or defends them in any way even if I think they do need that defense.

and because it's you lasa I'll remove the artistry from my posts and make it clear that defending free speech= defending the social okayness of making bad jokes on twitter in this particular analogy.
