Toshi: You can’t go outside looking like that!
What are you thinking?
Celeste: I’m exercising my right
of free speech. I’ve put on these clothes
and painted my body this way to protest the
treatment of women. I want to send a
message.
Toshi: You’re crazy if you think people are
going to take you seriously. What
you’re wearing is offensive and those
messages painted on your body are hate
speech.
Celeste: It’s my basic human right to
a freedom of expression, and this is
how I choose to express myself.
Toshi: There are limits to free speech and
expression, and you’ve crossed the
line. In fact, you’re abusing
those rights. Obscenity and hate
speech aren’t protected, you know.
Celeste: If you feel so strongly about it, I have
a suggestion for you.
Toshi: What?
Celeste: You can express your free speech by
protesting against me. After all, it’s your
inalienable right.
Toshi: I’m not wasting my time. Hey, you’re
not really going outside looking like that, are
you?
Celeste: You know what they say: The
medium is the message. And I’m sending
my message loud and clear!
