| Message | Don't like it, don't watch/listen to it. On the other side of the coin, don't wanna come off sounding like a bigot, don't say it. People need to be responsible for their own lives. |

| Message | I will support this as it gives our people more control over what they want to see. Hearing hate speech could be a good way to stop them voting for the otherwise silenced IPE! |
