Stop being so sensitive, words are words.
People like you are the problem with todays society.
I didn’t say I’m offended by words. But it’s obvious you have a chip on your shoulder so I’ll leave you to it.

What we cannot stop is people twisting words, quoting out of context etc.I didn’t say I’m offended by words. But it’s obvious you have a chip on your shoulder so I’ll leave you to it.
Things like that can have a huge effect on teenage youth. Many teens have committed suicide over bullying many times in the past. Sure there's plenty of tough cookies who will fight back but not everyone is that way.

PARIS—France is empowering regulators to slap large fines on social-media companies that fail to remove postings deemed hateful, one of the most aggressive measures yet in a broad wave of rules aimed at forcing tech companies to more tightly police their services.
France’s National Assembly passed a law Wednesday that threatens fines of up to €1.25 million ($1.36 million) against companies that fail to remove “manifestly illicit” hate-speech posts—such as incitement to racial hatred or anti-Semitism—within 24 hours of being...
Hopefully the threshold will be 100k visitors AND 500k revenue. Not 100k visitors OR 500k revenue.Austria’s online hate speech law, now being drawn up, will target platforms with more than 100,000 users and annual revenues of more than 500,000 euros, Justice Minister Alma Zadic said. It will give victims of online insults and abuse the opportunity to fight back quickly at a low cost, she said.
Platforms will be obliged to set up easily accessible reporting systems, appoint a contact person for users and report on the complaints received annually, according to the draft law. They will have to delete obviously criminal content within 24 hours of receiving a complaint and otherwise unlawful content within seven days.
Bullying is not a "new" thing. Gone on for ages, but you didn't have people with as high of tendency to get butt-hurt about it.Oh, whow. That sounds you are in the age of 5 with a huge lack of live experience.
Please go outside, talk to 50 victims of bullying, that will change of mind, if you are an intelligent human.
To be honest, this is stupid. Many people can't act so. Be happy that you can handle this, but most people can't. I agree, it would be easier if everycan can do this, but that is not the case.YOU control how they affect you, not the words.

So its a matter of respect to not harm other people with your words.

See how this ends? its pathetic.

No seriously, calling someone stupid is not hate speech.
A better example might be making fun or light or denying it ever happened (based on racial prejudice) to somebody whose close family mermbers were worked to death or gassed in Nazi concentration camps.
Or constantly taunting somebody who is unable to use any of their limbs.
It's just a different way of being brought up. Words only have the power that YOU give them.To be honest, this is stupid. Many people can't act so. Be happy that you can handle this, but most people can't. I agree, it would be easier if everycan can do this, but that is not the case.
