I’ve seen many responses to the “free speech” argument for “Ask Princess Molestia” to the tune of, “It trivializes rape and harms rape victims.” I get that. It’s offensive and harmful.

However, that has no bearing on free speech. Free speech protects even offensive speech, as long as it does not…

Free speech also covers our criticism of the blog and our calls to have it taken down. It’s a really, really broad concept.

Of course. I’m sure some would want WBC to stop as well, but neither of these should be forced. If you manage to convince John Joseco to take down the blog, that’s great.
