    Its like the saying “I couldn’t give you a dictionary definition of porn but I know it when I see it”

    I couldn’t explain to you what the differences between one asshole making fun of Islam and a racist doing it but I sure as shit know it when I see it

      I think you cross the line once when it’s not critical and just spiteful.

      One of them is motivated by a rational dislike of religious delusion and oppressive thinking, the other one is motivated by its own brand of religious delusion and oppressive thinking.

      “I know it when I see it” (formerly an actual Supreme Court doctrine) is kind of an embarrassing cop-out from thinking hard enough about something to actually define it, no judgment at you or anything, more in terms of “I cannot believe they decided First Amendment cases on that bullshit basis”.
