I’m so fucking tired of clicking on a song and finding out it’s the fucking censored version halfway through. It genuinely pisses me off, even if the censors are well done, it still fucks up the flow of the music. Songs should never be censored regardless of the amount of swears and innuendos; they’re a form of expression by artists and creators. Oh, what about the kids? Yeah fuck right off. Parent your children better. They’re eventually going to learn what curses are anyways.
If it doesn’t meet the standard of hate speech it should be allowed.
“Hate speech”
As defined by who?
You want Trump defining it?
Hate speech is speech that asks for harm and/or death upon another person or group.
If a song would feature hate speech you’d ban the entire song, not censor the content.
The music can’t be hate speech, only the content (lyrics) can be hate speech.
Well, yeah. I don’t think anyone has every complained about a censored instrumental track.
Meaning it is exactly the content that could be hate speech. Change the content, and the song is no longer hate speech.
