    Too much for me. People shouldn’t be punished just for being an asshole. The way these are presented are they are paired with hate speech to give them credence. Hate speech is something entirely different. Contempt also shouldn’t be against the law. It may not be nice or even socially acceptable, but it’s not illegal.

      I agree - there is a big difference between being socially shunned for being an asshole or vocalising contempt and being publicly outed and then criminally punished for it.
