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.
Poor bastard. They literally can’t stop. I’m still gonna say the classic of the mule/donkey (?) striking back was the best. Thousands of dead hoofed animals smiled down upon him that day.

Pitbulls unironically make me seethe, when I see one being walked on the sidewalk I 100% of the time switch sides.

Personally I prefer tigers, they are much more effective. Especially when it comes to the breed of peace.

Behind every pibble is a long pig that put him there.
1 SkrrtSkrrtMyDickHurt 2020-01-21
Says the long pig.
1 ManBearFridge 2020-01-21
Less long pig than you. I had to get one my heart valves replaced due to a genetic defect.
ASSIMILATE

I'm to tired for this shit, next time just use hexadecimal or ASCII.

Long pig too soft for raw binary

The one where the donkey went full pibble on the pibble and bit him an twirled him around like a helicopter?
1 TaysSecondGussy 2020-01-21
Yeah that’s the one. That thing was pissed. They always call it a horse in vids but it can’t be because they just get slaughtered by pits, too dumb.

You should see what they do to a pack of coyotes.
