What's your pet peeve in RL?

People who look for things to get offended by are terrible human beings who are actively earning my contempt.

I want to believe you had any iota of self-awareness while posting this. I really, really do.

Point taken.

Still not ok with speech police though.

We should all be free to yell "Fire!" in a crowded theater--accompanied by pyrotechnics and soundtrack of people screaming in panic.

Fuck off Itazura. I'm in no mood for your patronizing bullshit.

So, people who look for things to get offended by are terrible human beings? Let me be the first to announce that I'm not offended!

Instead, I'm slightly amused, but mostly just quietly pondering how to word the boundary of free speech.

The fire example came from eons ago, from a junior high civics class on the topic of limits of free speech. It's a court affirmed* example of possible prohibition against certain speech.

* I looked it up, it's from the 1919 Schenck v. United States case; the language was used by the presiding judge to describe the limitation to free speech.

Seriously, if I see one more picture of a pony with semen all over it I might claw my eyes out, ugh.

First of all, who wants to see your spunk? Literally no one. Second of all, what the motherfuck is even sexual about cartoon ponies? Ponies that are generally understood to be young females? Gross.

Literally at least the one person who drew or commissioned the artwork.

Have you seen all the porn that's on the internet Aks? People will masturbate to anything and everything.

This isn't artwork. This is creepy dudes masturbating to MLP and jizzing all over the toys and then posting those pics everywhere. I actually saw one (ugh I wish I could unsee it) which was a couple of jars full of dried, yellowish, caked semen, encasing MLP toys. That is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen in my life. If it were just contained to some brony website then I'd probably not have to know about it, but the fact is, that shit has spread like disgusting wildfire and just ... no. Gross.

I'm sure people are doing Rule 34 stuff for it, but I just have a problem with the fact that young girls who like that show can't even google it without finding something unsavory.
