If you support free speech, you must support people pinging other users. It's completely legal speech. If you won't defend pinging as free speech because you or someone else finds it disgusting, then no speech that you or anyone else views as disgusting is safe.

if it is in fact on shaky legal ground it's reasonable to not want to be the case that establishes it as illegal.

It's not, The reddit admins are straight up lying to the ignorant (like yourself) to justify their prejudice. Pinging being protected speech has long since been estabilished, as it has undeniable artistic merit. The only time it's been included under any obscenity laws is when someone is being charged with possession of harassment, so the state can slap them with more charges. The courts have been very careful to not charge anyone for pinging, because they'd get their asses fucking annihilated by a higher court due to the firm precedence of pinging being completely legal speech. /r/Drama had nothing to worry about, this guy was just making shit up to fool people into thinking his censoring wasn't entirely personally motivated.

What's happening here:

The BGVP DM6 is the latest flavor-of-the-month Chi-fi earphone model that all the hi-fi people are drooling over, praising it for its BIG BASS and BIG TREBLE.

The OP compares the frequency response charts showing that it has BIG BASS and BIG TREBLE to SCIENTIFIC charts displaying how good headphones are supposed to sound, concludes it is irredeemable trash, and makes a 90-minute review video that notably does not feature him listening to the DM6, which is not well-received by the community.

A guy with 300 confirmed earphone reviews enters the thread and tells him that he already reviewed it and decided it sounded all right, is accused of having shit taste, and posts a wall of text berating the OP for not having heard the things he is criticizing and not knowing what he's talking about. The OP digs his heels in and gets dogpiled by the thread, which is eventually locked.

This is some patrician drama but unfortunately audiophile autism will probably go over the heads of many /r/drama regulars.

What's happening here:

The earphone noisemaker is the latest overhyped flavor-of-the-month Chinkshit earphone model that all the sound faggots are drooling over, praising it for its BIG LOW NOISES and BIG HIGH NOISES.

The OP compares the retarded earphone sound graphs—that is, how the new Chinkshit sounds—to conspiracy charts demonstrating how good noisemakers are supposed to sound, and says everyone is retarded; making a very long video that notably does not feature him listening to the Chinkshit, which is not well-received by the audiofaggots.

A no lifing autist with over 300 confirmed earphone shills enters the thread and tells him that he already tried it and decided the exposure to his channel made it good, is rightfully accused of having shit taste for disagreeing with the OP's conspiracy graphs, and posts a wall of text berating the OP because they both have potatoes for ears. The OP digs his heels in and gets bent over, because y'all cant behave.

Why use anything but Westone 3s

Audiophiles are the worst philes.

Agreed. Anyone who calls engaging in consumerist excess a hobby deserves the wall.

Literally just buy some audiotechnicas and get another hobby
