It's not sarcasm. Am I supposed to be rooting for Whiny Free Speech Guy or the priest figure making sure public morals are upheld? To me they both seem like utter fuckheadsI’m not sure if this is sarcasm? I’m hoping it’s sarcasm.
I know there’s a bit of an age difference between us but it sounds like you’ve a bit of baggage there around people pointing out that there’s a problem. This is like the racist boxer again - confronting people for being racist (or giving a platform for unbridled racism in this case) should not be a controversial thing to do. In both this case and the boxer, they shilly-shally around answering a question with a very simple answer.It's not sarcasm.

I guess I do, and maybe the age difference has something to do with it. To me the archetype of a person who seeks out immorality and publicly decries it is The Priest or The Nun. The self-described "brown person" in the video above is, to me, in broadly the same category as Enoch Burke.I know there’s a bit of an age difference between us but it sounds like you’ve a bit of baggage there around people pointing out that there’s a problem
Sorry, you’re saying that someone with dark skin in America asking about racism is the same as a priest in Ireland when the Catholic Church were a significant part of the power structure? And also like Enoch Burke, a man who has a long history of hating gay and transgender people and has abused his position as a teacher to push that agenda of hatred?I guess I do, and maybe the age difference has something to do with it.

Being probably 10-ish years older than you, I grew up in an Ireland that was strongly morally policed, and that has made me very sensitive to this kind of thing. Have you ever read an article that smells a bit, for example, US-Republican, and you're put off regardless of the content? Similarly yer man in that video just comes off to me as a total dick
Either side or neither.Whose side am I supposed to be on here?
Yeah, but we're talking about itThumped has taken a weird turn lately.
"Is the same as"? No. I'm saying that guy is playing the role of an upholder of public morals. I don't think that's an outrageous thing to say, is it?Sorry, you’re saying that someone with dark skin in America asking about racism is the same as a priest in Ireland when the Catholic Church were a significant part of the power structure?

Has racism suddenly been downgraded or something? Thumped has taken a weird turn lately.
Racism is bad, guys. Publishers/platforms should have the balls to say if they either will or won’t enable it.
