This annoys me so much and I don't know why! (The onion thing not the post)
Previously, Bored Panda spoke with Vilnius-based journalist Dovydas Skarolskis, who shared his views on freedom of opinion and what role it has in the Dude With Sign project. According to him, Dude With Sign captures the essence of freedom of speech, which is a fundamentally essential part of liberal democracy. Commonly, it seems like a given to citizens of the free world, Skarolskis argues.“However, there has been a variety of political regimes that restricted both individuals’ personal opinions, and one’s ability to form one. The dystopian shadows depicted by George Orwell and Aldous Huxley still haunt us in the 21st century,” he told us.
And don’t slap a comedian for telling a joke. Especially if you, yourself, are a comedian who earns money from telling jokes.
Honestly I think too many people got involved in this and made a bigger deal than it is even she was laughing at the joke she doesn't need anyone to defend her that woman can handle her own
Don't had comedians, nothing happens in an awards show without preapproval. Nothing.
... Really? So this was all pre-planned? They planned to ban him for 10 years? You think these people would really work that hard to plan that all out ahead of time? You're giving them way waaaay too much credit.

On the other hand, being a part of society places an unquestionable restriction on every member of it. Dovydas explained: “I can’t just arrive naked at the shopping mall just because I want to. There are many public norms, cultural traditions, laws, and many other social institutions that repress our behavior.”
Meanwhile, the internet gives us the opposite experience where a sense of freedom can be achieved unlike in the real world. "The internet is a liberating tool, and millions of anonymous comments allow authors to express their views that otherwise remain silent in the daylight,” Skarolskis said.
Skarolskis argued that politics are everywhere, and it starts as soon as you leave your apartment. “It comes down to the questions like who has to clean it, and whether it needs a repair,” he said, referring to the apartment complex you live in.
In this sense, Dude With Sign's protests showcase our very own micro politics in action. Skarolskis commented: “Dude With Sign highlights our online habits that we don’t really think of that much because we go with the flow. Dude With Sign not only talks about the freedom of opinion and speech, but he also encourages people to take a step back and look at themselves from the outside. Only when you start using your own head do you stand apart from the blunt mass and become an independent thinker.”
Let's be honest, in most cases, that several minute video could've been a couple of paragraphs at most. But reading is hard, so people apparently prefer to watch all their news articles on YouTube now. What drives me crazy is the unrelated interstitial videos that autoplay *on every news website* now.
