    “I was banned for encouraging violence”

    What did you say?

    “Ronald Reagan should get shot”

    Ban justified. Don’t enourage violence, its not hard.

      It was a joke about a dead prick that got shot. Who are you going to be violent to?

        Tampering with a corpse is a second-degree felony in the US, the place where remarks regarding Ronald Reagan would be relevant. If this is how the citizens that create the law view physically defiling a corpse, it goes without reason that encouraging violence on a corpse would be low regarded as well. Additionally, incitement to violence is a criminal offense in many places.

        Needless to say, it is very easy to not encourage violence. Just don’t do it.

        Openly advocating/encouraging violence, even just against those who are already dead, teaches young impressionable minds that that sort of behaviour is acceptable. They don’t see the nuances of it being a joke / being about someone who can’t suffer from those words; they just see that speaking about others like that is ok. They then carry that behaviour into their own lives and treat real currently living people like that.

        Ban justified. Think on it for your 7 days, and come back a better person.

          So do you think that kids should not be allowed on social media? Because by your logic, all of the shit they see on tiktak will make them wanna be a slut.

          Let’s not let them watch any violence on TV.

          Or play video games.

          Do you idiots not know what comedy is?

          Maybe it wasn’t that funny of a joke, but it wasnt meant seriously.

          So according to your logic, no comedian alive right now should do thier set?
