There is one question I ask myself everytime. Do words hurt in such strong ways that they should be censored? Some simple words may express the wish to end the existence of a particular group of people.

Other words are used to express that something cannot be human. While I personally dont feel much when such words are used against me, others explode with emotions.

I dont see a problem with respecting others if they say a specific word hurts them, why should I use it?

My main question is when people express their opinion and emotions with specific words and we would ban them as hateful. It wouldnt change their emotions or opinions just limit their tools at the current time to express them.

Is supression of opinions and emotions even a good idea? Wouldnt it lead to the search of new tools someone could use?

Our world would be better if we could respect people and their boundaries more.
