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.
I've always been kind of bummed that America never got a chance to go full-on colonialist. I bet we could really take it to the next level. All these bullshit coups and puppet governments are wack compared to just brute-forcing some natives into doing your bidding. First Greenland, then the world!

Lolis are for headpats and feed them healthy food, not for lewd.

This is why we need space marines - so we can bully natives from orbit.

But then you end up having to fight huge insects, so I'm not really into it.

Is Milbank even a Mormon? FYI, Salt Lake City isn't just filled with Mormons.
