    Freedom of Speech means the government isn't allowed to regulate what people say, it has fuck all to do with private businesses.

    Anti-discrimination laws do have something to do with private businesses.

    You're still trying to compare apples to oranges there.

    I'm wondering that as well, please feel free to tell me what the term means if you ever find out.

    I hope it doesn't mean that her face is angel-level pretty because I'm seriously not seeing that. And I'm not saying this because she is racist, I'm a bit of a racist myself.

    I think the implication is that she's "innocent looking", although that's still quite ambiguous.

    He's right. If some gay pride channel got banned, you would see exactly the same people now saying "it's YT, they can do whatever they want" then say "that's discrimination and YT should burn".
    He doesn't say free speech, but his reasoning is along those lines. He thinks as long as it's within the first amendment, it's fair game. It's not. That's a misconception. To put it in different terms: The prohibition of views is also an expression of free speech. How about that?

    What about it. Neither person was arguing for freeze peach.
    You keep doing that thing whereby you respond with stuff entirely unrelated to their point.

    But you were right: your post was a waste. It was entirely irrelevant to the point. Nor did its production require "concentrating for more than 10 seconds".

    Why are some views okay to offend people, and not other views?

    So, you're not able to follow a conversation and butt in midway without having any clue whatsoever what the fuck we're talking about. I mean seriously, you want to talk to me about irrelevance? Do I have to quote the entire line of posts to make a point everytime I post here?

    No, it brings up the hypocrisy - Its not that that makes what she did better, its you don't think what they do, Is just as bad.
    I don't think free speech supporters are racist.
    No you did.
    I think you and your lot complaining about her being banned then directly pointing to a black person and saying "Why aren't they banned? They said cracker!" is ignorant. She wasn't banned for saying the N word, she was banned for constant hate speech
    Cracker is hate speech - There done.
    Also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2P2qiINSng
    Why no ban for him? - I'm guessing its going to be, 'black people cant be racist'
    I never excused the word cracker, first of all. And second of all, cracker doesn't really carry much meaning behind it. It's a meaningless racial term.

    I fond it amusing that she's being described as "Angel-faced". On a scale of 1-10, I'd rate her a 4. That's not even close to angelic.

    Why are so many people defending her then? Are they all racists as well?

    Now, if this youtube personality was claiming to speak FOR youtube, while broadcasting their views, that would be a different story. But as long as her videos were within the guidelines of the law (ie, no murder or tips on building chemical weapons), then it's just youtube discriminating against views it doesn't like.
    The argument is this, 'Company A have the right to do X, because they own it, so its fine'
    But if company A were to do Y, (where Y is shut down channels about say Gay issues) - Then those same people would magically insist that the prior argument now is bad - Its pointing out hypocrisy.
    So again, Your entire post, missed the mark, and was inherently wrong.

    Please parse the entire chain so as to make Direpenguin say what you imagined he said.

    No, you only need to keep relevant to the points raised.
    Going back to what spawns an exchange is absolutely worthless. Unless, of course, you think reminding everyone that the Earth is round when debating Climate Change has any merit (after all, it's a previous point in scientific discovery).

    That post you're quoting was entirely true. Tennisace's input was non-sequitur: they were asking a minimally related question that didn't follow from the true statement. They went on a tangent, which is ok. Direpenguin elaborated on their question about discrimination and gave it a spin.
    You repeated the truism as if it mattered somehow and pretended to know what they actually think. Yes, your trivial input was entirely irrelevant: because the exchange was about something else. It is tangent to that exchange, which is ok: so long as you stop pretending you're addressing the exchange.

    I don't get the angel/baby face mention. Is facial structure supposed to reflect one's education, social circles and psychology ?

    Come on now; she does look really beautiful to me. Granted, as is often the case, what's outside doesn't correlate with what's inside.

    I don't recall using the phrase "hate crime". I referred to hate speech. Hate speech can lead to hate crime though, which is why hate speech should be nipped in the bud. She may not have actively been inciting violence, as in telling people to go out and commit hate crimes, but the provocative nature of her video has the potential, if left there long enough to stir up a hornet's nest of bitter and hateful arguments which eventually could result in people taking their anger out into the real world and actually harming other people.
    Yeah man, you're right. This dumb girl that no one watches will totally cause the next holocaust.

    No, she hasn;t incited any violence. That is false.

    Facebook is in trouble for not allowing ads with a fat person in them. They are being "boycotted" or something along those lines. I sure hope everyone defending Youtube right now will also defend Facebook for not wanting to show fat people in their ads.
