To codify hate speech into IC law means recognizing it as a legitimate crime worthy of the attention of Lazarene society. It should not even face our courts to begin with. Rather, it must be flushed away immediately, for it has no place in the NS universe we play.
Then why is Loftegen 3 still here?
I have never heard of any region explicitly codifying hate speech into criminal law. If you feel it to be necessary, I would suggest making your case to the Administration. Acknowledging hate speech in IC law means that we acknowledge it as an IC offense which can be punished by IC methods, and thus it has a role (albeit negative) in IC society. I am not willing to have that. We don't prosecute sexual harassment or doxxing with IC laws, for example, the Administration is in charge of punishing such vile behaviour.
