"I support Free Speech, but I do not consider _______ Free Speech."

110. Remember that thought when a coworker queues up "Thank Heaven for Little Girls"...

...every time you enter the room. Let me absolutely guarantee that, if this were to happen, VERY REAL PHYSICAL CHANGES WOULD TAKE PLACE INSIDE YOUR BRAIN and PHYSIOLOGY. After just a few repetitions, your blood pressure would spike before the first word, and assuming you kept a lid on it long enough, one day the slightest sound coming from your tormentor's direction, may well be enough to trigger uncontrollable murderous rage.

As a thought experiment, take the same type of video: Make it about Christ and drop it into 17th C Europe or 19th C America; The Emperor in Japan prior to WWII; "Yourmum" in any era.

Your basic argument is the even more tired (and in fact disproven) "Sticks and stones, yadda, yadda, yadda."

Names and insults do hurt and if kept up long enough and WILL absolutely provoke irrational behaviour. "Life and limb" is not all there is. Heart and mind also come into it as well.

Pre-recorded media, like a gun, might well be an inannimate object without volition. However, it's authors DO HAVE VOLITION and INTENTION. Of course it's not the source. However, it is the vehicle through which one attacks another.
