Based on experience; it seems to come up more with americans then the other english speakers i've talked to.
I kinda got that impression, yet. along with lots of entitlement that *i have the right to say what I want*, but **YOU** better not offend me. Right, left, rich, poor. I don't see it often in France, but that's my "worldlyness" limit. and it does hurt and it does piss me off when i get called "a fat bitch" or something, but dear god, you say to your self "what a fool" and move on. You don't say "I'm going to make a rule that you cannot call anyone a fat bitch". it doesn't make them less ignorant, or you stronger, it just means someone is paying lots of fines, and others are handing out lots of tickets.
I seem to recall that Brigitte Bardot was arrested, tried, and convicted in French court for making blasphemous offensive remarks about certain animal slaughter practices.
Yes. It is illegal there to use incendiary, racist, and maybe sexist language, individually or collectively, in public or private. The law suits against what it means to "defame, insult or injure" someone are wicked to follow.
by the way, a wiki search says it's 5 times she's been indicted for inciting hatred. Of course all against Islam and muslims. that's impressive. Course when you are one of the public voice of FN....
I use words like "fag", called people "fucking dirty little piglets" and often question other peoples ability to form coherent thoughts based on what I assume is either poor upbringing, hereditary genetic disorders or parasitic diseases....and I am completely unrepentant and will not stop.
I do online, far more than in person. I'm pretty fucking nice in real life, and i usually try to be so, online too. But there are enough fuckers that congrats around religious sites, abortion sites, free thinking sites, and this place that i just lump everyone into one big "oh fuck off" session now and then.
Hate the french, though. damned arrogant fucks ;-)
