[@Sen] My only thing I will bring up is not all publicity is good publicity, that is a fallacy.

I had nothing to do with star wars and never was a part of that discussion. So not worth bringing it up to me.

It can change depending on exactly what you're talking about but stuff like hip-hop or rap, controversy is practically the main reason people gets popular..

But as I said, some controversy can screw a company over, but it's not the type I'm talking about...

Words can be a surprisingly powerful thing, Lying can get you elected, get you thrown in prison. I think people are taking stupid things said quite seriously, that's why things get banned. Or at the same time, make people care about something they never would of.
