Reply to comment by XrosRoadKiller in AI Seinfeld banned on Twitch over transphobic jokes by asjonesy99

Absolutely true. The people with the power to silence their opposition are the people who control society.

Do you actually think trans and gay people control society?

Some times people aren't in power but simply protected and have no agency or agenda in the response of others.

Your statement is too narrow.

Fact: when there are jokes you can’t tell and things and words you can’t say then you are being controlled.

Even if I accepted that premise, and I don't, that's not the same thing as the original statement you made.

The phrase sounds deep but only if you look at it with only 2 opposing sides which is a shallow way to consider social interactions to say the least.

It doesn’t matter if you agree with it or not. It’s still true. There are words we can’t say and things we can’t do and people we can’t make jokes about. We are being controlled for the benefit of others. We are no longer free. And if you want to know who’s controlling us then just look at the people we can’t make jokes about, because they and their allies are now the ones in charge.

So how's that alt-right pipeline been treatin' ya these days?

I don’t even know anybody on the alt-right. And how typical of a leftist to immediately jump to a personal attack.

The fact that you wrote this is hilarious given how you are basically arguing pro-offensive jokes and insults / free speech

The fact that you immediately jumped to a personal insult is far more hilarious.

You literally used the same dog whistle argument that argues the existence of an international Jewish conspiracy. Just because you're unaware of its influence doesn't mean you're not affected by it.

Your post is absolute, complete, 100% bullshit. You should be ashamed of yourself. I’m putting you on ignore.

Yes. This June, take a look at any retail store. Rainbows as far as the eye can see. People get fired for homophobic and transphobic comments... no one will get fired for disparaging cis white men. Companies will get dragged for not having enough gay and trans people, never for having too many.

You absolutely can get fired for that. You are too deep into conspiracy land. And the same laws that fire people for homophobic remarks is the same for any race.

Well, you are literally one person. Maybe expand your horizons before screaming at the sky that we aren't free

There are a lot of people who agree with me. They just don’t post here because they think Reddit is a leftist sewer.

And we are not free. JK Rowling was nearly cancelled after just liking a tweet calling trans women “men in dresses.” Actually making that comment here in the alleged land of the free draws immediate punishment and/or cancellation. We are definitely not free.
