It sounds to me more like the event hosts are trying to be edgy and telling people "Shapiro showed up, deal with it snowflakes." Badly.
AgainstMethod
A podcasting expo without any alt-right jerks would be tough to put together
kinglysandus5
Ugh. I am too tired to look up who Ben Shapiro is or what the Daily Wire is.
njessup1992
Pretty much exactly what you'd expect.
AgainstMethod
When you get more energy later on, just keep skipping it.
Columbus43219
Only one thing to say to someone who doesn't know those things: congratulations.
gorillaClutch
Free speech is still allowed. But people not wanting you around based on what you say is part of it.
balaclava1
Why you mentioning “free speech,” was the government involved?
gorillaClutch
For all the "freedom of speech" nitwits that will come out and call this "canceling " Shapiro or some dumb shit
StarShineSurreal
You have the freedom to speak, and others have the freedom to tell you to get bent!
Discordians
Exactly so many people miss that Free Speech does not free you from consequences from your peers
simplefishy
SeeShark
That wasn't it, though, because they were still comfortable with whoever else was associated with the Daily Wire. The only problem was >>
SeeShark
Ben Shapiro specifically, which makes no sense.
LeifTheUnlucky
It does if you consider the fact that people don't like him for the shit that he says.
SeeShark
But the Daily Wire says all the same shit, so clearly that's not the issue for the organizers.
LeifTheUnlucky
True, but Shapiro has a LOT more name recognition outside of the podcast sphere.
heckingoodboi56
You are free to speak, but no one is required to listen or give you a platform
michaelbishop
Hope he gets a dry reception like he gets from his wife
madeejit
Not a dry eye in the house.
ArcadiaBerger
Poor Ben. The only thing more humiliating than having someone tell the whole country that your penis is as small and ridiculous-looking...
ArcadiaBerger
...as a Mario mushroom person the way Stephanie Clifford (aka Stormy Daniels) did to donald trump is unwittingly telling the entire...
ArcadiaBerger
...country YOURSELF that you are such an inept lover that your wife has NEVER gotten wet the way Ben Shapiro has done. Never livin' it down.
SnaccAttacc
Sorry.... "the harm done by his presence"? Really?
sleepinggreenidea
Yes, really. Just being there can cause damage. Forex if Donald Trump came to your wedding, the wedding would suddenly be about him, not you
ArcadiaBerger
If donald crashed my wedding, I would insist on the privilege of personally kicking him out violently, even though it'd be a Quaker wedding.
ThereIsACheaterInTheForest
Right? Man people are offended by anything now
KirkSteel
We’re tired of assholes like Shapiro because we’re trying to have a civilization here and his ilk are holding us back.
thetinymonarch
given the bial that that has puked i would not feel safe around him or his goons.
Columbus43219
They didn't say offended... they said harmed.
ArcadiaBerger
Ben Shapiro is an offensive, obnoxious, harmful, destructive, foul, loathsome, repugnant, filthy, ruinous, mordant, unwholesome presence.
SnaccAttacc
And what harm would come about exactly?
[deleted]
[deleted]
Columbus43219
You're right, I messed up the thread of uses. But I don't know the answer. I was pointing out the word was harmed, not offended. That
Columbus43219
I don't know what they meant, but they didn't mean offended. I was pointing out that you changed their wording.
SnaccAttacc
I didn't actually, that was someone else
WhatisaYute
Nazis are a blight, their presence should never be excused and apologies are always in order, should one be spotted in modern society.
SnaccAttacc
Uhhh ok, source on JEWISH Ben Shapiro being a nazi?

. Baby Hitler was a baby. What you presumably want to do with baby Hitler is take baby Hitler out of baby Hitler’s house and move baby Hitlr
ungalin
into a better house where he would not grow up to be Hitler, right? That’s the idea”
ArcadiaBerger
Ben Shapiro is a genocidal Anti-Semite (Type II): he doesn't hate Jews, but he does hate the other major populations of Semites, Arabs...
ArcadiaBerger
...describing them in much the same way as Hitler did the Jews, as "culture-destroyers" who despise creation and live in filth by choice...
ArcadiaBerger
...deliberately spreading disease to their non-Arab neighbors, &c. IOW, he is every bit the same kind of evil, genocidal bigot as Hitler.
MCNewYorkLives
Anyone who supports or sympathizes with a Nazi is a Nazi. And there were plenty of Jews running ghettos and helping Nazis during
MCNewYorkLives
The Holocaust.
SnaccAttacc
Do you personally know any republican supporters? Why haven't you punched/killed them yet if you truly believe that?
Columbus43219
Is this the thing where you take something someone else said, then act like this person said it and needs to defend it?
HarryDresdenIsMySpiritAnimal
Are you trolling people or do you actually have stupid opinions? Asking for a friend.
Geistbar
If your default response to people you think are terrible is to "punch/kill" them, you're probably a Nazi. Nice job telling on yourself.
BlueDsc
What relevance does that have to the current conversation?
symbholic
What does any of this mean?
CantStopTheRock
He's an absolute fuckwad with authoritarian right wing views and Hayes freedom of expression
CantStopTheRock
His company also produced a "documentary" that was just 90 minutes of transphobic propaganda.
SeeShark
"We don't mind alt-right propaganda at our event, but we draw the line at this specific person the internet hates."

othelloinc
A podcast expo rented a booth to The Daily Wire, which was founded by Ben Shapiro. Ben Shapiro is a terrible human being.
symbholic
Thank you!
othelloinc
The tweets are a joke in which they exaggerate (slightly) how objectionable he is, by pretending his mere presence would be traumatizing.
SoshiGenkaku
I don’t get it either. Presence harming? I mean you can be disgusted or disliking of it but “harmed by his presence” seems…odd
AgainstMethod
I think it's a tongue-in-cheek joke about how much they dislike him.
SoshiGenkaku
Maybe, but with the political climate and internet commentary. Poe’s Law and all that
Filanwizard
Maybe he had a bunch of security theater around him?
SoshiGenkaku
I’m fairly certain we’d have seen some news about anyone being roughed up though
TielKiri
I think there was an implication he was doing more than just standing around. Like, if someone is known not just for lying, but for-
TielKiri
constant manipulative behavior that causes harm to innocent people around them, their presence can definitely be taken as a threat by those-
TielKiri
who have been burned by them. It’s not that his mere presence is harmful (beyond lowering the mood of people who hate him), it’s just that-
TielKiri
the speaker might not know the specific details about *this* event in particular, while still being confident enough he continued his-
DrGirth10InchWrecker
Very much true…. Sad but true to say the least
deathandtaxes1
What did he do now?
GoodKingFuzzwumps
Existed.
AgainstMethod
Showed up at a podcasting expo.
draek1
He continues to exist.
OverwhelmingSurplusOfDiggity
He continued to be a nazi, same as before.
docLaughable
Talk about AOC, his sister, or his wife. Or breathe? He's really annoying in any of those scenarios
motoalchemist
took up space on the planet, used up O2 that could have been used by another
DrSchlepenstein
He turns every vagina in a 10 mile radius around him into a dry barren wasteland.
CarpoolTunnelSyndrome
Provided an excuse for the daily wire to run this promo at his expense. And generally he has bad opinions.
the1chaos
Be himself, I'd imagine.
Naramumu
He exist.
GiveMeCorndogOrGiveMeDeath
So do I, but I will feed you and make sure you have a nice bed to sleep in. fuck that guy
Naramumu
Are you hitting on me... I have a friend...
CarpoolTunnelSyndrome
Not on my watch!
adage009
Please don't kill shapiro...he's just not worth the energy to take him out. I suggest good old exile.
CarpoolTunnelSyndrome
Ok fine. Since you asked nicely.
adage009
Thank you love the name btw made me do a double take.
sevenfingerman
I mean, he is a Nazi piece of shit, so at this point his continue existence is bad enough.
Jamesincandenza
he isn't a nazi, he's a kapo
AscendedTroll
Isn't he Jewish?
SithShodan
He's only Jewish until he needs to be white again
Archeron
Yes, he's an orthodox jew
BunnyGremlynn
He sure doesn't act like it
Crowlands
So were the Verband Nationaldeutscher Juden.
wadatahmydamie
So was Erhard Milch
UserSubHunterOfIndeterminateGender
There were plenty of Jewish people who cooperated with the Nazis for personal gain. Plus, he was groomed for this since childhood.
Eldibs
porcubot
There was that guy the Nazis put in charge of one of the camps... he was Jewish. He butchered prisoners. I forget his name.
Utecr
People have long supported “Leopards Eating People’s Faces” Party certain their face will be spared.
AscendedTroll
Not to say Jews can't be genocidal (just look at Palestine)
SeeShark
Look, Israel sucks but calling it "genocidal" is fucking absurd. Palestine's population has done nothing but skyrocket for decades.
NaughtButOne
They also enjoy sky rockets, and whimsically firing them into Israeli civilian centers. Impossible to know why Israel takes issue, really.
JamJarre
It's debatable but far from absurd. What the Israeli government has done and continues to do in Palestine could easily fit the UN definition
JamJarre
Nazi's just a stand-in word for fascist, and fascists can be any creed or colour
Fishkeeper
Nazi should probably not be a stand-in word for fascist, since "fascist" is already a word.
sleepinggreenidea
Well yeah, but there's been (and are) plenty of explicitly Nazi. Jews. Trump's boi Stephen Miller seems like a good recent example.
SeeShark
I'm sure we can find a better word to describe a Jewish asshole.
palmo
For the fascist that called for ethnic cleansing in Palestine? Nah. Nazi fits. Ditto Stephen Miller. Being Jewish doesn't change that
SeeShark
It does, because "nazi" indicates a specific ideology that places blame for everything on Jews. I'll give you Miller though, he's a >>
SeeShark
self-hating nazi and his own family disowned him.
