Do you wanna unpack that a bit or are you fine with just communicating in t-shirt slogans?

It depends on which consequences, sometimes the consequences involve being censored.

I think you should be a bit more specific. Obviously if you go up to some random guy and insult him or his family you might get your ass kicked. I don't think too many people on here give a shit about that type of speech. However, if you make an intellectually rigorous claim on a college campus and have other students try to get you expelled or silence you, that is a totally different story.

LOL, no, it's not, it's completely within their free speech rights. Is it right, probably not, but that doesn't mean it's not protected.

Well, yes, but only if the consequence is getting words thrown back at you.
