Steven Crowder called another journalist a "lispy queer." Now he's in trouble.
Henry Farrell: Ordinary understandings of language would suggest that calling someone a “lispy queer” is homophobic harassment. But of course, it doesn’t matter what I think, and in some ways it doesn’t matter what Maza or Crowder thinks, either. Crowder can say he’s just debating, or being un-PC, that it’s his right to speak as he chooses. Sure, YouTube’s content moderation team may hesitate about a decision that could look biased. It should matter what Maza thinks, what Crowder thinks, what I think and what all of us think — more so than what YouTube thinks.
