If you're making someone cry, that's harassment

Depression doesn’t exist.

wait so are you telling me it's illegal to make someone cry

by just talking to them

Depression doesn't exist? LOL

because I've got some news for you buster

If you're bullying and harassing someone, you're actively trying to hurt them

No sweetheart, that's a gross misrepresentation of my argument

But wouldn't that be freedom of speech?

You're picking one sentence and laying into me on it without the full context

"If you're making someone cry, that's harassment"

was your whole statement

Do you understand the difference between harassment and free speech?

I do indeed

To the extend that you're harassing them

They're a whole conversation around that sentence

ok so if I am calmly talking to you about how shitty you are, is that illegal?

and it makes you cry and jump off a bridge?

Here

"Harassment is governed by state laws, which vary by state, but is generally defined as a course of conduct which annoys, threatens, intimidates, alarms, or puts a person in fear of their safety."

yes that is the broad definition, not legal, of harassment

If your speech is threatening, intimidating, or cause another person to cry in fear then that is harassment

I don't literally mean that someone crying cause of something you said it harassment

Anything can make anyone cry.

That's absurd and you know taht you're misreprensting my point.

no your point is silly

"If you're making someone cry, that's harassment"

That wasn't my point

we're talking from a legal perspective yes?

you said that

that's your statement

we're taking about harassment

from a legal perspective?

or a general one

If you're harassing someone to the point they cry

If you won't lay off someone and keep talking to them until they cry, your speech has become harassment

because your speech is causing the situation

from a legal perspective?

It's not the words themselves that are bad

what situation are you talking about

It's the act of harassing that is
