      He must be the most downvoted user by a large margin at this point right?

        I would be curious to know, but I don’t see a way to check that in the Lemmy API. Would need some way of searching user data based on criteria.

        Careful. Mods allow OPs behavior fairly unchecked but literally will take action against you for saying what you just did.

    “We are not in the business of censoring occasional addresses or dictating content to our guest speakers. That would be completely at odds with our values of freedom of expression,” a spokesperson said.

    This isn’t a censorship issue. Who on earth green-lit a speech regarding abortion and contraceptives for a graduating ceremony? In what world is that considered relevant? Especially in a multi-faith and diverse society like Australia.

      Oh it’s relevant alright, he is just on the wrong side of both issues.
      I think the fact that so many left during the speech, demonstrates that it is is relevant, and most the people there don’t want conditions to get worse, just because some religious nut says so.

          I think the topics are relevant to people leaving their very liberal, closed world of university and going out into a world that may not embrace them like they are used to. He very vocally reminded every woman and LGBTQ+ person in the audience that they are about to go into a world where assholes like him are going to be sitting next to them in the office trying to make their lives hell.

          In the exact same way as talking about anything else that is highly relevant to the life of people starting out on a life of adulthood and responsibility and personal freedom.
