I w9uld like t9 ap9l9gize if y9u've taken 9ffense 9r have 6een triggered 6y the incredi6ly str9ng sentiment purp9rted 6y this netw9rk ID. F9r the time 6eing I'm n9t g9ing t9 change it, as I have several imp9rtant p9ints t9 address while 6earing the weight 9f this macr9-aggressive exclamati9n, and w9uld like t9 request y9u either avert y9ur eyes 9r scr9ll 6y until y9u n9 l9nger are su6jecting y9urself t9 such unpleasant language. I will pr9vide adequate space f9r th9se wh9 wish t9 exercise this 9pti9n 6ef9re directing their undivided attenti9n t9 my lengthy speech. I mean essay. 9r sh9uld I call it a pu6lic address? I supp9se it c9uld 6e all 9f th9se things 6ut in la6eling it as such it's very imp9rtant t9 understand that n9t all speeches are essays, n9t all pu6lic addresses are speeches, and n9t all essays are pu6lic addresses. "Speech" is an inaccurate term f9r what I'm d9ing n9w, alth9ugh at the end I may have f9und I have s9mething 9f a "speech" and theref9re I sh9uldn't restrict its gr9wth in a p9tentially speech-like directi9n, 6ut I have n9 intenti9n 9f making a true speech which is written and read al9ud t9 an audience. As I am n9t c9mmunicating with my v9ice, the "reading al9ud" interpretati9n 9f speeches w9uld 6e inc9rrect f9r what I'm d9ing at present, which is writing this fr9m the netw9rk ID 6el9nging t9 69th my descendant and ancest9r (hereafter referred t9 6y the term "dancest9r" f9r the sake 9f clarity and t9 help pr9m9te an easy-t9-understand dial9gue, rather than repeating myself thr9ugh the c9urse 9f this address), and if I was addressing every9ne thr9ugh 9ral meth9ds that w9uld 6e quite a different situati9n. It may n9t seem imp9rtant t9 differentiate 6etween these three unique f9rms 9f inf9rmati9n transmissi9n 6ut I w9uld like t9 highlight s9me very imp9rtant p9ints.
In additi9n t9 6eing an address created with the intenti9n 9f delivery t9 an audience (pu6lic 9r private), the w9rd "speech" can refer t9 a characteristic manner 9f ver6al expressi9n, 9r a dialect 9f s9rts. It can als9 6e included with the w9rd "therapy" t9 create "speech therapy," which is entering danger9us territ9ry, as any inflammat9ry, careless, 9r caustic remarks made in passing (n9 matter h9w unintended the negative reacti9ns t9 these remarks might 6e) may pr9f9undly affect th9se wh9 have underg9ne this very imp9rtant therapy and make them feel as if y9u are invalidating their needs (pri9r, present, 9r future) f9r speech therapy 9r their th9ughts 9f attending speech therapy 6y 6elittling 9r 6ullying them. A speech may 6e written in the f9rm 9f an essay fr9m which the speaker reads, alth9ugh it's p9ssi6le the speaker has mem9rized their speech and is delivering it with9ut external aids such as a pr9mpter 9r written d9wn 9n paper while they speak fr9m their pulpit. Ah. P9dium, rather. Any elevated surface where they can spread their message, really. Anyh9w, an essay is a c9mp9siti9n 9n a particular theme 9r su6ject, generally sh9rt, 6ut I 6elieve imp9sing such restricti9ns inhi6its the freed9m 9f th9se wh9 ch99se t9 write essays and we sh9uld all 6e quite careful when imp9sing limits 9n 9thers' rights t9 use their w9rds and ideas f9r the essay they intend t9 write, as the act 9f d9ing such c9uld very well lead t9 discriminat9ry acti9n against th9se wh9 sh9uld 6e heard. A pu6lic address is a much less-exclusive manner 9f delivering a speech 9r a talk t9 an audience, given the fact "private" d9es n9t appear anywhere in the term and "pu6lic" d9es n9t fail t9 appear, such as with traditi9nal definiti9ns 9f speeches, and clearly states that all are welc9me. This s9rt 9f address d9es n9t imply any s9rt 9f exclusi9n, which is why I 6elieve "pu6lic address" is the m9st suita6le term f9r what I'll 6e c9vering here, as I have n9 desire t9 6l9ck any9ne fr9m reading this very imp9rtant address.
And n9w the c9urtesy space. Please 6e aware that f9r several lines there will 6e n9 further text, 6ut rest assured the text will c9ntinue 9nce the space is c9mpleted.
N9w that I've written this 9ut, I'm 6eginning t9 think I sh9uld pr9vide an audi9 versi9n 9f this address f9r th9se wh9 may 6e una6le t9 read (I mean n9 9ffense t9 th9se wh9 may 6e l99king at this wh9 are una6le t9 read. If that's the case, please let me kn9w and I will use this primitive alth9ugh 6y n9 means inferi9r 6ut simply "different" device t9 c9mmunicate with y9u via audi9), 9r p9ssi6ly have difficulty c9ncentrating 9n text f9r very l9ng, 9r perhaps they have difficulties, such as 6lindness 9r vari9us 9ther disa6ilities. F9r th9se 9f y9u wh9 may 6e listening t9 my future audi9 address and f9ll9wing al9ng with the text, please skip this paragraph as I'm g9ing t9 9verl99k it in the very rec9rding t9 which y9u may 9r may n9t 6e listening.
N9, that w9n't d9. I'll rec9rd it n9w. F9r th9se 9f y9u with difficulty reading w9rds, please direct y9ur attenti9n t9 this attachment: The prelude t9 an imp9rtant t9pic which c9ntains explanati9ns 9f 9ther imp9rtant t9pics 6ut d9es n9t 6y any means c9ntain all imp9rtant t9pics that will inevita6ly 6e discussed 9ver the span 9f this pu6lic address.mp3
6ecause I understand the limitati9ns these different devices have, I've als9 included my address in a different f9rmat sh9uld y9u wish t9 ch99se it instead: The sec9nd versi9n 9f the prelude t9 an imp9rtant t9pic which c9ntains explanati9ns 9f 9ther imp9rtant t9pics 6ut d9es n9t 6y any means c9ntain all imp9rtant t9pics that will inevita6ly 6e discussed 9ver the span 9f this pu6lic address.wav
In retr9spect, that 9ne may 6e a 6it large. I've made an9ther versi9n availa6le: I hesitate t9 say the "impr9ved" versi9n 6ecause that implies the pri9r versi9n was inferi9r t9 the current versi9n in s9me way, which simply isn't true, theref9re this is the third versi9n 9f the prelude t9 an imp9rtant t9pic which c9ntains explanati9ns 9f 9ther imp9rtant t9pics 6ut d9es n9t 6y any means c9ntain all imp9rtant t9pics that will inevita6ly 6e discussed 9ver the span 9f this pu6lic address.mp4
There will 6e m9re attachments at the end 9f this mem9 after I've fully written the t9pic I intended t9 address when I 6egan writing, which I will n9w 6egin. Please 6e aware this t9pic I'm addressing c9ntains menti9ns 9f hatred, hate speech, hate crimes, uniquely underprivileged privileges, unintenti9nal implicati9ns 9f disapp9intment, implied c9nsent t9 difficult circumstances, alternate iterati9ns 9f selves, self-shaming, menti9ns 9f murder-fueled jeal9usy, and attached audi9 d9cuments. If y9u w9uld rather read in silence, please av9id the attachments.
6ef9re delving int9 the imp9rtance 9f using friendly, all-inclusive language when addressing an audience p9pulated 6y pe9ples d9u6tlessly acr9ss all cultures and scuttles 9f life, I must define the precise f9undati9n 9f my disagreement with the harmful asserti9n implied 6y my dancest9r's (see my previ9us explanati9n if y9u have f9rg9tten this w9rd is meant t9 imply an ancest9r as well as descendant) netw9rk ID. (Really, Karkat. I th9ught we had many g99d and l9ng-winded discussi9ns 9n the matter. With the agreement implied 6y y9ur endless silence while y9u a6s9r6ed my teachings with nary a c9mplaint, I was certain y9u underst99d and adhered t9 my principles as well. Is this n9t the case? I w9n't say I'm disapp9inted, as disapp9intment c9nveys an em9ti9n I d9n't quite feel, 6ut perhaps I feel enc9uraged? I mean disc9uraged. Please c9rrect me if I'm wr9ng and l99k f9r me later. Perhaps we'll get a chance t9 revisit 9ur previ9us discussi9ns and find 9ut precisely where 9ur 9pini9ns part like a sym69l 6r9ken in tw9 6ut ready t9 6e rej9ined with the pr9per mending.)
While I 6elieve free speech sh9uldn't 6e limited, as that w9uld infringe up9n the 6asic rights we sh9uld all have (6ut d9n't currently have since discriminati9n appears t9 exist even here t9day fr9m my 6rief survey 9f this island), hatred (defined as a deep feeling 9f resentment 9r anger t9ward 9ther pers9ns, pe9ples, gr9ups, 9r things. Really, the p9ssi6ilities are endless) may lead y9u t9 speak hateful speech 6ey9nd the general 6lanket asserti9n 9f hatred with n9 descripti9n 9f what it is y9u hate, which in turn may transmute t9 acti9ns. Hatred has persisted f9r milli9ns and milli9ns 9f sweeps and has 6een the cause 9f vi9lent acts 9f anger, frustrati9n, and rage despite the attempts fr9m th9se wh9 aren't enlightened (the term "enlightened" here w9uld imply a s9rt 9f superi9rity, which is a6s9lutely N9T what I want t9 c9nvey!) 6ut wh9 strive t9 seek truth, fairness, and equality.
(Karkat, y9u may perceive this as hyp9critical, as y9u are aware fr9m 9ur f9rmer disc9urse that in an9ther incarnati9n, at the end 9f my life, I† did give in t9 rage and later t9 hatred. My†† acti9ns caused the widespread purge 9f my††† disciples and I supp9se even w9rse than death itself must have happened t9 P9rrim?

Please d9n't misunderstand. I d9n't 6elieve the language 9f this particular netw9rk ID is true hate speech m9re than a p9tential gateway 9r a sentiment that may 6e misinterpreted as hate speech, as it is careless and p9ssi6ly intenti9nally hurtful, alth9ugh there I w9uld 6e guilty 9f assuming with9ut asking questi9ns 6ecause my dancest9r is n9t availa6le t9 interr9gate 9n the matter. Rather, questi9n. Careless asserti9ns and statements may 6e interpreted as h9stile acts 9f aggressi9n, and with g99d reas9n. Again, freed9m 9f speech is very imp9rtant 6ut it w9uld 6e unwise f9r 9ne t9 6elieve freed9m 9f speech has never 6een manipulated t9 inflict harm up9n 9thers 9ut 9f prejudice. Declaring hate and d9ing s9 in such a general fashi9n (as implied 6y the general y9u t9 which this netw9rk ID seems t9 speak) is p9tentially harmful, as th9se wh9 might read this netw9rk ID c9uld interpret it t9 mean the 96ject 9f hatred was, in fact, them. In th9se wh9 are n9t as secure with their identities, the result is a p9tential f9r insecurity and p9ssi6le diminishment 9f previ9usly-existing self-esteem as a direct result 9f this careless asserti9n.
We sh9uld all 6e aware wh9lesale culling and systematic su6jugati9n (f9r any tr9lls wh9 may 6e listening, reading, 9r 69th: this is n9t t9 6e mistaken f9r su6jugglati9n, which did n9t persist in 6ef9rian times) can 6e made 6eara6le if the intended victims 9f the 9ppress9rs have 6een manipulated t9 appear as 96jects that deserve exterminati9n 9r are w9rth less than m9st in the 9pini9n 9f the general pu6lic. "Cheap laughs" had at the expense 9f entire gr9ups can make 9thers take them less seri9usly and su6sequently invalidate their struggles. Careless asserti9ns made 6y 9ne pers9n is n9t quite like that, 6ut we must all watch 9ut f9r the p9ssi6ility that careless asserti9ns may influence 9thers and persuade them t9 6elieve it's fine t9 c9ntinue perpetuating unaccepta6le acti9ns and p9tentially hurtful w9rds in the presence 9f 9thers wh9 may 6e harmed 6y them.
N9w, withh9lding 9ffensive material f9r the sake 9f n9t 9ffending 9thers is detrimental t9 an individual's self-expressi9n and such freed9ms must always 6e guaranteed, th9ugh it is up t9 us t9 educate th9se with harmful perspectives and guide them t9 the understanding that what they are saying is a6s9lutely unaccepta6le and they sh9uld 6e m9re understanding 9f the fact when they c9mmunicate t9 large gr9ups 9f pers9ns, each with differing 9pini9ns 9n what is inc9rrect and c9rrect, it is 6est t9 err 9n the side 9f cauti9n and pr9ceed as carefully as p9ssi6le with any p9tential t9pics that may require advance warnings f9r their triggers s9 th9se wh9 are aware 9f th9se triggers may excuse themselves if necessary and th9se wh9 are triggered may 6e p9litely esc9rted 9ut while we c9ntinue t9 discuss these matters 9f utm9st imp9rtance.
As I've now expressed this in a fashion where my dancest9r will find it, I will 6e changing this netw9rk ID.
6el9w are the audi9 attachments 9f this 6rief talk sh9uld y9u wish t9 listen instead 9f read it, 9r read it while simultane9usly listening (whatever y9u prefer):

Declaring hate and d9ing s9 in such a general fashi9n (as implied 6y the general y9u t9 which this netw9rk ID seems t9 speak) is p9tentially harmful, as th9se wh9 might read this netw9rk ID c9uld interpret it t9 mean the 96ject 9f hatred was, in fact, them. In th9se wh9 are n9t as secure with their identities, the result is a p9tential f9r insecurity and p9ssi6le diminishment 9f previ9usly-existing self-esteem as a direct result 9f this careless asserti9n.
We sh9uld all 6e aware wh9lesale culling and systematic su6jugati9n (f9r any tr9lls wh9 may 6e listening, reading, 9r 69th: this is n9t t9 6e mistaken f9r su6jugglati9n, which did n9t persist in 6ef9rian times) can 6e made 6eara6le if the intended victims 9f the 9ppress9rs have 6een manipulated t9 appear as 96jects that deserve exterminati9n 9r are w9rth less than m9st in the 9pini9n 9f the general pu6lic. "Cheap laughs" had at the expense 9f entire gr9ups can make 9thers take them less seri9usly and su6sequently invalidate their struggles. Careless asserti9ns made 6y 9ne pers9n is n9t quite like that, 6ut we must all watch 9ut f9r the p9ssi6ility that careless asserti9ns may influence 9thers and persuade them t9 6elieve it's fine t9 c9ntinue perpetuating unaccepta6le acti9ns and p9tentially hurtful w9rds in the presence 9f 9thers wh9 may 6e harmed 6y them.
N9w, withh9lding 9ffensive material f9r the sake 9f n9t 9ffending 9thers is detrimental t9 an individual's self-expressi9n and such freed9ms must always 6e guaranteed, th9ugh it is up t9 us t9 educate th9se with harmful perspectives and guide them t9 the understanding that what they are saying is a6s9lutely unaccepta6le and they sh9uld 6e m9re understanding 9f the fact when they c9mmunicate t9 large gr9ups 9f pers9ns, each with differing 9pini9ns 9n what is inc9rrect and c9rrect, it is 6est t9 err 9n the side 9f cauti9n and pr9ceed as carefully as p9ssi6le with any p9tential t9pics that may require advance warnings f9r their triggers s9 th9se wh9 are aware 9f th9se triggers may excuse themselves if necessary and th9se wh9 are triggered may 6e p9litely esc9rted 9ut while we c9ntinue t9 discuss these matters 9f utm9st imp9rtance.
As I've now expressed this in a fashion where my dancest9r will find it, I will 6e changing this netw9rk ID.
6el9w are the audi9 attachments 9f this 6rief talk sh9uld y9u wish t9 listen instead 9f read it, 9r read it while simultane9usly listening (whatever y9u prefer):
