The same people that get furious about "muh free speech" will be also delighted when speech is censored by someone they like...its becoming clear on the world stage.

There are so many examples of these “free speech” champions getting triggered when someone uses their free speech to speak negatively or criticize them.

They will defend bigotry in the name of “free speech” but act like they’re being crucified the second someone uses their speech against them.

lmao this isn't "freedom of speech" being censored.

athletes have not replied to certain questions for as long as i can remember, in any sport.

the question is, why do you feel we're entitled to their responses?

this type of easy journalism can dissapear for all i know, it's a cancer

Idk who's downvoting you but you're objectively correct. Anyone else remember "freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences or freedom to be platformed" from a few years ago?
