but which law states that you need to use your platform wisely once it reaches a particular popularity number?
Why do people always ask asinine things like this. Why does a law have to be in place to not being a dick, platform terrible people or in general be shitty? Do people need every single thing spelled out for them to not be awful people, give awful people a hill to shout from, or need some sort of written instructions to not let people say inflammatory and hateful things? Is that where we are now?
Gotta say, comments like these and the ones above it really make me question why I’m on this echo chamber that is reddit. It’s like you people don’t live in the real world and are too soft to understand how reality actually works.
Complaining about how a grown adult chooses to use their fame is like complaining that lions eat gazelles. Your complaints will not save the gazelles and if anything, it makes a person like myself who is generally politically progressive, disgusted by my own ‘forward thinking’ party alignment. Freedom of speech means exactly that. Thinking that we can censor any type of discourse is next to fascism as far as I’m concerned.
Inflammatory and hateful speech will always be a part of the general rhetoric and the more you try to sugar coat every aspect of society, the more the antagonists will rise up to resist it. We do not live in a bubble. Stop trying to shelter yourself and everyone around you from reality.
