What does it mean to "Shout down a speaker"? What are they speaking about and what is the purpose of shouting at them?

[-] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 73 points 1 year ago

When the hate preachers show up on campus with a bullhorn and try to tell everyone that they deserve to burn in hell, they don't want the reat of the world to tell them to STFU.

I see. If someone is yelling obscenities at you then its probably ok to yell at them too although I wouldn't bother personally. I don't think this poll can mean anything though as I imagine everyone has different understandings of what a "speaker" is and is doing.

I don't think this poll can mean anything

Given the obvious motivation of the person who posted it, I'd want to see some independent source before attributing any importance to it.

These open questions are always kinda crap to draw conclusions from because we don't know how the question was interpreted by the people answering. In this case we also don't know the sample size of the groups. Could also be a multitude of other variables at play like location because there are few places where you can find all these religions while getting a good sample size and controlling for other variables like income, education, age etc.

And does it apply only to verbal, podium speech, or also to written books and speech by people in [drag] costume.

They go to the lecture and just scream so that that person can't present. They don't allow the person to make their case or offer them any respect.

Bro these people stand in common areas shouting about how everyone is going to hell. They dont have a case and dont deserve any respect. If anything they deserve some counseling from a medical professional.
