The problem is you want to have your cake and eat it. You're all for Freedom of Speech unless it's offensive which means you're actually against Freedom of Speech because the notion of it offends you.

I'd appreciate you not telling me what
I stand for tyvm, I've never really been a fan of censorship, unless it is used to protect people from having to see extreme opinions like the ones I've been mentioning, imo there is no place in society for those types opinions, or people who hold them, I'm all for free speech, but when it comes to the point of someone abusing that right to be offensive or controversial, that's where I draw the line, there is no room for people who sympathise with Hitler or any other extreme beliefs like that, like I said, if you want to have an opinion that goes against normal social conventions, feel free, knock yourself out, but don't shove them down people's throats, all it does is cause trouble and bad feelings.
