    Just curious would it have been ok if was designed to piss off left wingers? Or done to make fun of black people or trans people?

      If they did it to Muslims, theyd get a repeat of Charlie Hebdo. And if I didnt know better, Id say they were making fun of trans people, in a really gross transphobic way

      Everything you listed is on different plains of existence.

      The left isn’t there to tell others what to do. It’s here to push back on the right’s encroachment. So be it.

      Neither black nor trans people choose to be who they are but being a right-wing Christian is a conscious choice people make every day. These people wake up and choose every type of violence.

      Why would it be ok to piss off anyone else but the perpetrators?

      Again with this paradox of tolerance bullshit. Just try think about the two situations and how they are similar and different… You’ll figure it out, I believe in you.

      Is mocking a person for being autistic the same as mocking someone for choosing to be a white supremacist?

      Do you get it yet?

      The ceremony pissed off right wingers by not bending to their demands for censorship of anything that their religious beliefs tells them should be censored. Bending to those demands would essentially allow them to force their religious beliefs on others.

      You suggested to piss off left wingers by bullying ostracized groups of people or being downright racist.

      You can see how those are not the same.
