Isn't that free speech?
Yes, but the right likes to pretend that the left censors everything, simply by promoting equality and respect. Meanwhile, Trump has actually banned over 250 words from governmental use.

U gotta go make it political don't ya. I though free speech was valued by everyone.
poe's law is real and i can't tell if this is a joke
I know this person. I assure you they are being serious.
And we thought common sense was... common. Yet here you are proving that wrong with every new comment.
Funny how that works.
They have... uncommon sense
No. That's a value you have. We don't value free speech when the speech is hateful and that makes all the difference.
And yet the Democrats still have not legally censored hate speech. It’s only condemned. That’s the most infuriating part of the right’s complaints of censorship. They’re claiming oppression from social mores, but we’re the snowflakes.
Define hateful. Free speech is the foundation of democracy and a precursor to arguing for your liberties.
That's the problem, you think hate speech doesn't exist and that all speech is equal. Probably because you've never been on the receiving end or put yourself in anybody else's shoes is my guess.
It would seem that free speech, like freedom, isn't free
