Right, I don't know where else to go with this to find other people's opinions because folk seem to be fucking blind to it.

So, there have been a fair few instances when I've had debates/discussions/arguments with folk re: freedom of speech. What's acceptable. What's unacceptable. What the Government should step in to stop.

The most recent one is to do with a Canadian comic, who made a joke about wanting a disabled kid to die. Now, he's been dragged through the courts. Over a joke.

Now, in all my discussions (etc) I've had with people I've noticed that a VAST amount who take the stance of "Government should step in. Certain things shouldn't be allowed to be said. Feelings should be protected. SAFE SPACES!!" fall on the Autistic/Aspergers spectrum.

I'm just throwing that out there. Do you think this is the case, too? Have y'all noticed anything similar? If there are any folk who have experience with either of the two conditions, I'd like to hear from them, too. Feed me your info.

Discuss.
