Most of the people who use the freedom of speech argument are just using it as a crutch. It's not that they're so noble, it's more like they are cheapening the virtue and hiding behind it..

Let me explain:

You see internet trolls. It used to be a skilled thing where people would pretend to be something so well you don't know that they are acting. And they would ruin the composure of someone getting a bit to big for their boots by laying out the troll bait. The person would engage and embarrass themselves by getting very angry and serious and arguing with the troll endlessly.

And people who trolled didn't feel the need to collect points for it, they just did it then would disappear, some people would even do a long con, being known as a character on a forum that always manages to set somebody off by pushing their buttons excellently. A good troll could derail a conversation excellently and manage to disrupt the ambiance of a thread/conversation.

But since it got popular, everyone thinks they are "le master trole". So what happens? People who aren't trolling do things thinking they are so cool and an "awesome troll". I'm saying the kind of people that flood a womans inbox with "you're a stupid cunt who deserves rape".. That's not a troll, that is just flaming. They want to be "le epic trole" but they aren't smart so all they can do is something that would obviously gain a reaction from most people. They don't have the wit to draw someone out, or the patience to spin them well.

And the thing is, the people who do this flaming like just posting on a youtube video "Fucking nigger monkeys need a banana".. They aren't some impartial master trole. They are just flaming people or groups they don't like. I read an interview with a "famous troller" and when asked why he posts such abusive shit to women he was just spouting the most bitter virgin shit and stuff that showed he was deeply frustrated with women. So he was using the guise of being a troll to flame women. Just like the people that post overtly racist shit, it's not like they aren't actually racist. If you quiz them on such views you will see them saying stuff like "Well blacks obviously are naturally prone to violence.. So you see how people hide behind things.

Same with the people that call people butthurt after they respond to something outrageous. But look how "butthurt" those same people from 4chan got when she made her videos, enough to flood all her videos with rape threats and abuse.. People act like they are never mad at anything when they use "butthurt" but they simply get mad at different things but feel they are justified...

And finally, people who use freeze peach as an excuse just feel like they should be able to say whatever they want on a privately owned website. It reminds me of the time on /r/4chan. Some dude called a girl who had her entire body covered in self harm scars (showing obvious extreme mental anguish) a stupid fucking attention whore because she was brave enough to be comfortable in her own skin to finally go on a beach in a bikini and uploaded the picture about how happy she was at getting better.

I responded that I've known of a case of a girl who was raped in a peadophile ring from the ages 4-9 until freed and her body was covered in self harm scars and you never know the cause.

He replied to me that "This is the internet kid, get used to it faggot, ". So it's like they know what they do is wrong but they use some flimsy principle as "Meh I can do what I want, STFU". He also silenced me in one breath by calling me a SJW warrior... Simply because I opposed him outrageous flaming someone really damaged. This wasn't even actual 4chan it was /r/4chan and the edgy tough guy attitude was off the charts.

I'll never understand these people. They're the kind that are socially paralysed basement dwelling bitter NEETs who hate everything in real life but online they are king because they have no morals in attacking people to assert dominance.
