This is why I think it’s impossible to “monitor” and purge or ban violent tweets or what have you.
One, what is the intention of the speaker, two who is responsible for the audiences reaction? Do you take the most extremely negative interpretation? It cannot work.
And that’s not even taking slang into account where violent words don’t mean violence and normal words can take on other meanings.
"Let’s go and burn that police station down now"
If anyone I knew said that I would treat it as a dry joke.
Lots of people kid around about horrible things but don’t mean it. One day you find out that one of the kids was not joking and actually meant it. Even people who are friends of the perp have problems sussing this out and can only do it in retrospect.
Progressive politics will say we have to consider the background of the singer and the audience as mitigating circumstance so they might let it slide.
Objectively it would have to be banned if we use Twitter’s new rubric.
Reasonable people can disagree
> Sealioning (also spelled sea-lioning and sea lioning) is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with persistent requests for evidence or repeated questions, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity. It may take the form of "incessant, bad-faith invitations to engage in debate".
One post is not it.
Also, if you read that Wikipedia article to the end you'll realize that I pointed you to the original use of the term.
(Indian curry is good too but most people have access to try it)
My point was that people can have discussions about who or what is better and it can diverge into other areas that could be considered hate by very sensitive people. Japan notoriously claimed for example that their snow is unique[1] and thus made it difficult to import European skis some time ago. Today this would be viewed and xenophobic or something when all it was was protectionism.
[1] kinda true. It’s ‘wetter’ than snow in some other places, but doesn’t mean Rosignol should not be sold in Japan.
As I understand it Facebook, if it did anything at all, did id months/years after the fact, essentially doing CYA not anything meaningful.
I like Indian curry.
Yes, Indian curry is the best curry.
Yes, Indian curry in Japan is not the same. They don’t know how to make it.
Yes, Indians are better at making curry. After all it was invented in India and we have the local spices.
Definitely, I would not buy curry inJapan unless it’s made by an Indian who knows how to make it.
I mean you can see this potentially going in an unwanted direction. But is it hate?
To me hate is when you have immediate violent outcomes in mind.
