Man, watching these idiots deplatform themselves is awesome. Because there's no way that's gonna succeed.

Deplatforming works. It's weird to see them deplatforming themselves, but I'm not complaining.

Eventually they will have their own "free speech" issues when payment processors are demanding they remove anyone with visible swastika tattoos.I think USUALLY deplatforming works. I worry that in this specific case...there is a market for a website where those who want to fund hate speech and vile content can congregate.
I still like the show, but having listened to every episode (except the patreon exclusive ones) i've long noticed thathe has a tendancy to inject a lot of commentary into what he covers on the show... and sometimes I don't agree with his POV. He comes off as a little judgemental at times.He's also done some extremely tasteless shit on the show itself, including interviewing a kid who was likely on the autism spectrum and it made the poor kid look terrible, among other things, and getting all defensive about it when criticized.
Why though? I am honestly asking this because when I listened to it a couple years aback, it seemed like it was just recordings of bad people being bad with very little commentary from the host. It felt more like a Faces of Death movie, relying on the salaciousness of it all instead of being informative.It's one of my favorite podcasts. As true crime podcasts go (and there are lots of them) it's easily top 5. probably #1 for a lot of fans (though I greatly prefer Casefile.)
Not sure I agree with their reasoning here though :/
The First Amendment is the US's protection from government action based the content of speech. "Freedom of speech" in general is a much broader topic.Freedom of speech is a protection from government persecution, not consequence from behavior. These dumbasses can't even get that right while they advocate for hate speech.
He does have a tendancy to produce episodes that are mostly audio clips from police interrogations, court appearances, etc. the better episodes have less of that and more description. I've learned about hundreds of weird cases I never would have learned about on my own though, so I guess that's why I still listen because it can occasionally still surprise me.Why though?

While this is true, it's a paradoxical topic regardless of whether you're talking about the amendment or the concept. The idea that you should have the right to say whatever you want without social consequence infringes on the freedom of others to protest your speech.The First Amendment is the US's protection from government action based the content of speech.

I thought of the Statue ofWhen I see a name like Sword and Scale I imagine medieval badassery, not a crime interrogation show. Should be deplatformed for false advertising alone.
Statue of Liberty has a torch and book85k/month for a podcast??
I thought of the Statue of Liberty, but I'm also not sure what it has to do with a crime podcast.
Derp, I think did of Lady Justice but for some reason I mixed them all up... not sure why lol. Anyway yeah Lady Justice does sorta have to do with crime but not so much the angle I'd expect from "true crime" thingies, but maybe I'm wrong.Statue of Liberty has a torch and book
You are thinking of this statue, which does have to do with crime
Well, yes. There was a market. And the alt right started up Hatreon. It got banned by Visa and then shut down. I wonder how long this one will last.I think USUALLY deplatforming works.

Oh. Well that's disheartening.
Because it's not about free speech. It was never about free speech. They just want carte blanche to say whatever they want.Why am I not surprised these "free speech" advocates are not talking about the anti-BDS censorship that happens in 26 USA states.
The best thing McGee did was Dead Simple anyway, and that was with Sandy Petersen.
Do we have any receipts for this or is it OK to throw out unsubstantiated accusations on this forum?
Not even close.A lot of people in that thread seem convinced Patreon is going to go under. Is that actually a concern?
