Not always, but in this instance, laid off "journalists" getting the "learn to code" nonsense that they said to others in different industries when they were laid off said back to them is pretty funny.....and even funnier now that they are calling it "hate speech"
you actually believe saying 'learn to code' is hate speech? Everyone seems to agree that the media in this country is absolutely awful. Of course some people need to be held accountable and fired. This should be a bi-partisan thing
SCW? Not familiar. Could it be Social Construction Worker? Spanish Civil War? Sucking Chest Wound? Here are some other alternatives: SCW may refer to (from Wiki): Seabee combat warfare specialist insignia, an enlisted warfare qualification of the U.S. Navy. Security Configuration Wizard, a component of Windows Server 2003 SP1 Small Chemical Waste, a category of hazardous waste that has been defined in Dutch legislation Southwest Championship Wrestling Spanish Civil War Sucking chest wound, a potential medical emergency wherein air or gas is present in the pleural cavity.

*Some* people losing their job -is- funny. For example, that guy named Brown who used to coach for the Cavs.
Yes. If you are fat and I said to your face "you're fat", that could be hate speech. It depends on intent. But you knew that.
Except that's not what's happening here, it's all about changes in their marketplace driven by decreases in ad revenue. Maybe Trump should start making empty promises to "save" their industry too?
'hateful' is a synonym for 'mean'. Your definition for hate speech is being mean. https://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/hateful you should probably google what hate speech is . Its not 'speech that is hateful' .
his example: If you are fat and I said to your face "you're fat", that could be hate speech. It depends on intent.
Ah, so statements of fact are now "hate speech"? I don't know who you are talking with about this, but the fact that I can't see suggests that they are a mindless troll.....so maybe they don't actually believe any of that nonsense and are just trolling you. Also, "hate speech" isn't a real thing in countries that legitimately have free speech so I don't know why that ridiculous phrase keeps getting thrown around as if it truly means anything.
Yall are forcing me to agree with talanvor and dachuda. Delighting in the minor misfortunes of journalists isn't hate speech.
I'm not shedding a tear for Buzzfeed and Huffington Post. Maybe they should try real journalism if they want to be a journalist.
Well, siding with talanvor and dachuda if you feel inclined, but as someone that has competed with HP and Xerox for years, I would never celebrate layoffs at their companies. Its not a "minor misfortune" to be laid off... especially when its an entire industry (something like 60% of the media reporting industry has been downsized over the past decade). It impacts not only the reporter, but their family as well. btw, its interesting to see this long debate that was started by someone on twitter claiming someone other person on twitter had their account temporarily suspended for "abusive behavior". Little context of the story, or the past history of the people involved. But the person was happy ultimately, "because they got their message out". Since that was the most important thing... Seeing how people here act... I can't imagine what possesses people to post things to upset people. Heck, even here we have people getting banned/suspended/etc. I can't imagine what would cause someone to want to write or say something that would get themselves banned from a discussion board.
Well not just that but giving those "journalists" the same advice they gave others who were laid off in the past shouldn't be considered "hate speech" even if you believe there is such a thing to begin with.....and if it is, then maybe those "journalists" should have been fired back then for "hate speech" right?
