Like to many people, the word freespeech might sound good, untill you run into hatespeech. While there isn't a widespread way to define this type of speech, I found a few terms that can help narrow things down. (speech that does not include hatespeech.)
-
freespeech. Strictly protects you from 'government' censorship, however there may be limits. If not legally, then perhaps, you'l lose a few friends socially. Freespeech, is not always acceptable speech.
-
responsible speech. Ok, so now we are at a term that helps to simplify things more toward the direction things are actually heading around the world lately. It's saying, make sure you are posting responsibly, and that your posts are not degrading nor attacking others. So, no to discriminatory and harmful language. Does it directly cover hatespeech? Not specifically, it's more so addressing the actual end result of the harm from user posts. Be responsible.
-
Inclusive speech. Again, not directly addressing hatespeech, but rather indirectly. By asking for inclusive speech, it would vaguely, while not as specifically, just ask of you to keep your speech as inclusive. When referring to someones pronouns/gender, you'l want to be inclusive and not misgender, or miss pronounce a person in anyway.
Honestly, if you were to combine responsible speech and and responsible speech into a single term, combining their meaning you would actually have an actual singular term describing all this, (speech that does not include hatespeech.)
and what is expected socially. While both terms, do have some vagueness to them, combining them would still keep them vague. Having one term to describe expected social behavior would simplify any confusion from trolls or actual confused people.
While I and other might not think these things are confusing, too alot of people in the last decade+ these terms are new to them.
I'm not advocating for any changes, but I'm looking for some words that describe speech without the inclusion of hatespeech.
