Okay, so I'm going to try and wade into this argument now that I'm not high as a kite, under the proviso that I ignore the childish supposition that restricting freedom of speech is called for by autistic people, and that that is even some sort of insult. I don't really know what Jacob was going for but I'm sure it's just unpleasant.

A lot of people who call for freedom of speech sort of destroy the credibility of their arguments just by their personality. This idea that there's an entitlement to say whatever you like and be free from any repercussions, is utter rubbish. What gives you this entitlement? Why do you deserve to say what you like without anything resulting from it? If I had a kid with down's syndrome and you took the piss for cheap laughs or something, I'd rightly curb stomp your face. It's funny, it tends to be white middle class boys who scream the loudest about freedom of speech when in reality, it is precisely this demographic who gets away with the most shit Scott-free.

Even the human rights act has a provision for when governments or organisations may need to stifle freedom of speech when necessary, or for instance, to protect individuals such as with the 'right to be forgotten', or when a persons libellous accusations threatens to damage your self irrevocably.

Saying you want to be free to say what you like just to call people faggots, trannies, cunts or whatever the fuck, makes you sound like an ignorant child who's probably very cloistered from reality.
