(25,699 posts)I'm explaining to you why I feel the filmmaker holds some of the culpability for this situation, based on the reality that "free speech" is not universal. There's protected speech, and there's unprotected speech.if you use your speech to start a fucking riot, well, you share guilt with the rioters. They're not innocent, but neither is the guy with the bullhorn. This isn't a terribly complex concept.
Your response is "THE MUSLIMS! THE MUSLIMS! THE MUSLIMS!" That response, paired with the fact that you are, indeed, very much rallying in defense and support of a film that presents "THE MUSLIMS!" as a plague upon the earth, a subhuman, howling pack of killer monsters, does in fact cast you as a bigot. That's not me calling you bad names, that's just me pointing out the sort of shit about yourself that you've decided to put on display here.
