> There was more about games where you kill black people and another one where you kill anybody who isn't white. I think this stuff is a bit beyond freedom of expression.

I agree that those games sound reprehensible, but isn't it an old cliche that it is only the reprehensible expression that needs protection? We hardly need a guaranteed freedom of speech in order to ensure that we can express popular, widely accepted ideas.

Just because something is disturbing doesn't mean it should be censored.
