I'm sure many of you will be relieved to know that it's 'etsy legal' if you want to laugh at people with disabilities, mock victims of sexual assault, or sneer at people who have life-threatening diseases like cancer and AIDS.

Yes, it's absolutely fine, because although etsy feel that it's ok to ban and mute people for voicing perfectly respectable differences of opinion with etsy itself, it's not ok to close a shop which does all of the above, because (holding my aching sides) they're not, like, into censorship or something..........'cos that's not, y'know, cool, or whatever.

What next - 'ironic' kiddie porn? 'humorous' photographs of 9/11 victims?

Yes, I know it's thread number (put in some digits) on the subject, but since etsy is such a staunch defender of the First Amendment I know they'll be cool with me dragging it up again.
