Ridiculous and wholly unnecessary government overreach. Every official that touched this should be fired and publicly dragged through the mud.

You can win it, the reward is a slightly different cutscene but the ultimate outcome doesn't change. It does give a little more insight into Genichiro though.

I dunno man, I think I'd ask to keep it instead of covering it. What a cool story to tell, while also helping someone who wants to help others.

Precisely correct.

Ours was a woman, an older prostitute and meth head everyone called "Teddy Bear." You'd see her walking everywhere in town.

Too rational for Lemmy.

"this is why we must choose which is more important: the lives and safety of these trans people, or the comfort and "freedom" of people who want to see them eradicated"

This is a strawman and a false dichotomy. Legislation restricting speech is overreaching and dangerous to a free society. I, and many others, do not trust the government with that kind of power. Today, it's trans people, tomorrow it's soldiers and police and politicians suddenly beyond critique, on pain of government punishment. Anyone can become a "protected class" when it's convenient to the ones writing the rules.

Yes, it should be social only. If that society sees the speech as unacceptable, they'll react accordingly. If not, they won't. Society is capable of handling itself, even if it sometimes makes choices we don't personally agree with.

There is no scenario where giving the government further power into the lives of citizens a good idea. Every time we've tried that, things have only gotten worse. The PATRIOT ACT all but demolished the 4th amendment. Something like this would be similar for the 1st.

"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

I don't wish anyone harm, but I will always choose the right to speak freely over what a governing body considers "safe".

We have far too much to lose by allowing the government to dictate what people can and can not say.

You are correct, but laws like this do not need to be enforced. This is draconian.
