    I don’t want to live in a world where private corporations are the arbiters of appropriateness, even when I don’t agree with or like what’s being said. Censorship is dystopian.

      They already decided what they considered appropriate when they decided to pay a bigot to put a show on instead of paying you or I to do the same.

          I’m sure you’re … fun at parties

          Apparently I need a refresher on the rules to the party games kids play these days like “ha ha racism” or “kick the tranny”, but people don’t seem to mind my company.

          Just ask your mother.
